Also AC Shadows and Prime 4 going up against one another is nowhere near as horrendous as when Nintendo sent out Bayonetta 3 to die against the 2022 reboot of Modern Warfare 2!!!
Bought Galaxy 2 cuz I already have 1 via 3D All-Stars.
It’s pretty good, arguably worth £33.99 despite some horrible level design and repetitive bosses….and the ability to play SMG2 wherever I want, without having to dabble even more in emulation, is a childhood dream come true!!
The lack of GTA IV, Phasmophobia, NASCAR 25 (it looks cool, and I wouldn't mind being able to play it whereever I want) and Batman Arkham Origins hurts my soul, but this is a rather solid list despite that!! I'd be one of the first in line to get SH2 on NS2!!!!!
Yayy!! Also I hope this motivates WB/NetherRealm Studios to somehow add Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Mortal Kombat 4 onto NSO soon, and maybe the other MK games onto the SNES/GBA/Genesis lineups as well!!
I'd swap out Most Wanted for Underground 2 or Underground 1 but besides that, this list is quality!!
I'd love to see all of the GameCube Mario Parties (and spinoffs in general), if thats somehow possible...Melee would be an excellent addition as well!!!
@GMMXX "We already know GTA VI will be shown and we've been told not to get too excited about it." At Gamescom? Not a chance LOL Rockstar wouldn't do that surely
Nah. They should release DLC in the meantime ala what Insomniac is probably doing for Spider-Man 2!! (I'd love to see levels from the 2D Mario titles redone in Wonder's engine with the power-ups from those games as well, like NSMB2 did with its Gold Classics Pack but BETTER!!)
Personally I'd like Tekken Advance to be on NSO someday, we haven't had a Tekken title on a Nintendo console since Tag Tournament 2 for Wii U after all...
The games I'd like to be able to play on N64 NSO are as follows;
Donkey Kong 64
Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Mortal Kombat 4
Banjo-Tooie
Diddy Kong Racing
Conker's Bad Fur Day
WWF No Mercy even though thats impossible cuz of licencing+ChrisBenoit
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 because the 1st two games are on Switch already, it could tide us over until a remake of the 3rd game and also cuz Wolverine is in it
-Super Smash Bros.
-Rayman 2: The Great Escape
@shonenjump86 True, I want em to add the Mortal Kombat titles from that console (Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3), it should be possible if Nintendo could somehow add Goldeneye 007 to N64 NSO, surely....
@Stnkygrngo If Street Fighter 6 isn't on Switch, then why would Virtua Fighter 6 be on Switch? Then again, the new Mortal Kombat is coming to the console...for some reason...
@locky-mavo yeah that would be cool, considering that one of the only new nintendo switch games due to release in the next few months is pikmin 4, dunno if there’s anything else at all. (metroid prime 4 is in development purgatory so that ain’t releasing until the Switch 2 at least)
@Hairlesswookiee Fr it would make tons of sense to put Arkham Origins/Asylum/City on Switch, all of em ran good on the Xbox 360 and the Switch is slightly powerful than that. All WB has gotta do is just get the people who ported DOOM 2016 to Switch to get the games onto it!!
Niceee, I’m personally hoping the Nintendo Switch 2/XL/Pro/WhateverTheHellTheyEndUpNamingIt gets announced, since it could boost performance on the recent Switch games and even the upcoming ones!! (Bayonetta 3, Tears of the Kingdom, etc)
@Zequio “ Sunshine is the worst Mario of all Marios.” I respectfully disagree, considering that Hotel Mario and other shovelware-y games featuring the most famous plumber in gaming exist.
I’m interested in like 3 of the games listed here so this year is kinda mid for me personally, could be worse tho, at least it isn’t the horrific dripfeed of 2020.
The only Switch port that released in 2022 I’ve played is NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition, which I’m still playing through to this very day, absolutely phenomenal title made better by the ability to play it anywhere without a decent laptop or a Steam Deck!! Am slightly miffed that Panic Button (the GODS of Switch ports, they did DOOM, DOOM Eternal, etc for the hybrid) weren’t contracted to work on the port, because I bet they could’ve got it to 60fps!!
@Dar14c88 If that’s the case, then why do people compete for the fastest times in 8 Deluxe? Also “ If you want to play MK then MKWii CTGP or MK7 CTGP7”, damn, you’re really neglecting DS huh?
@Anti-Matter Not to be cruel or anything but you should go outside, get some fresh air, ya know? Just saying cuz that was an essay you wrote in that paragraph then, jeezzzz!! 🤣🤣
My favourite Nintendo Switch games of 2022 are either Mario Strikers: Battle League (yes, I know, it launched awfully, idc, I've had fun with it, and the music is great!), NieR: Automata The End of YoRHA Edition and Bayonetta 3.
I tried the demo for the new 3D Kirby game and it was fun, didn't bother buying it though.
I hope 2023 is a bit more full of games that I personally would like to buy, am hoping for Tomodachi Life 2 to be announced in the next Nintendo Direct but that's probably less likely to happen than Super Mario Maker 2 getting a new update that adds a Super Mario Bros. 2 theme.....
@NinjaNicky They can make it run on Switch, because if Panic Button can get DOOM Eternal working well on the console, then I’m sure GTA V can work, especially considering it’s been on weaker hardware than the Switch before (360/PS3)!!!
Honestly, while I do think that Pilotwings 64 is alright, I believe that Super Smash Bros. (1999) should’ve been the N64 NSO game for this month, would’ve been funny imo since balance patches and DLC stopped for Smash Ultimate in October 2021.
Well either that or Mortal Kombat 4/Trilogy (one of the two I don’t mind) since it’s Halloween Month and MK is one of the more spooky gaming franchises.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 May Clash With Metroid Prime 4
I’m picking Metroid!!

Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
Bought Galaxy 2 cuz I already have 1 via 3D All-Stars.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct Revealed For Wednesday, 18th June 2025
Interesting.
It’s not happening EVER but Donkey Kong 64 being added to NSO after the direct would be nice.
We still have a good amount of weeks to go before Bananza, after all.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Ports Of 2022
@Vyacheslav333 ppft, I’m sure they could find a workaround and get it to 720p60fps and 900p 40fps (is there even 40fps games on switch? 😂)… 🤷♂️
