The input delay feels reduced now after this update to the app. 👍

MS needs to sell Rare to Nintendo. They have completely wrecked what was, once upon a time back in the 90s, one the world's greatest development studios.

@Maxz I always assumed Nintendo pays a licensing fee for any 3rd party games on NSO.

But yeah, just put Adventure 1 and 2, Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog on the Gamecube NSO and call it a day.

Calling them "new tracks" is a stretch.

@Spider-Kev Are you talking about Fast Fusion?

Sorry Samus nothing. Still way more hyped for Prime 4.

@russell-marlow 100% incorrect. I can perform the drifts, but I find the mechanic obnoxious/tedious.

Very overrated game. I'll never get over how awful/infuriating it's drifting mechanics are.

Not sure why we need this when they're already on NSO online.

@1UP-HUSKY It was 5 years between Splatoon 2 and 3. I don't think we will see Splatoon 4 until 2027. But hey, they're giving us this spinoff to tide us over, so it's all good.

@Grumblevolcano I love Saltspray, but I fear it is forever trapped in Splatoon 1 because it is broken.

@NeonPizza For real.. For as much as I love Nintendo, they frustrate me so much. Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD should have ported to the OG Switch years ago! Why did they port over nearly every Wii U game EXCEPT the Zelda remasters? Makes no sense.

They still should have ported the HD version(along with twilight princess hd) instead of this. It is absurd that those remasters are still trapped on the Wii U!

About time! The recent Mortal Kombat's have been quite good, but just like Street Fighter, nothing tops those classics.

Oh boy.. Time to get on YouTube and start seeing everything. Curious to see how all the countless Switch 1 games do with backwards compatibility

My birthday is July 1st, but I an predicting I will not get one because it will be sold out everywhere.

Now that's disappointing! Please be done..

Looks nice, but I already have their older arcade stick(seen in the pictures there) which I am playing Killer Instinct Gold with now. 😁

Is this worth picking up now after the various patches/updates?

@RoboCube Glover 2 was never completed.

Damn, these TVs are expensive. Looks like I'm sticking with my cheap ol' Vizio for the foreseeable future. No 120fps for me.😒

Ironic considering that's all Sony has done for decades. Same console over and over again with a power boost. There's not much left in the 'innovation bucket' at this point anyway. Damn near everything has already been done. Just the natural consequence of the video game industry being 50 years old.

While I do still want a Switch 2, I am getting a bit worried about the future. I think the negative effects of Iwata dying(long gone now, but never forgotten) and the massive success of the Switch 1 are now unfortunately starting to appear. Remember Nintendo is now run by a pure business man who likely never even plays video games and cares only about maximum profit. He is the polar opposite of Iwata. It is going to be very interesting to see where the Switch 2 is in a couple years..

One thing I'm sure of is if a year after the console releases it is doing Wii U numbers, the price cuts will begin. Remember what happened with the 3DS? It started off pretty poorly, Nintendo cut the price of the system in response and sales skyrocketed.

Everyone is rightfully complaining about the $80 price tag, yet no one is mentioning you get Mario Kart World for just 50 bucks with the bundle. I literally could not find one dork Nintendo YouTuber whom even brought this up.

@Qwiff Thank you kindly!

So he says: "somewhere in between a software emulator and hardware compatibility."

Interesting..

@8bit-Man Oh but of course. You can see on my earlier comment I was already pretty well convinced it was going to be dual Switch/Switch 2 release. Seemed very obvious to me.

@8bit-Man Sooo.. Are you satisfied now? LOL.

I'm confused. How is it doing backwards compatibility? Is it running the games natively or this emulation?

@Dee123 What a ridiculous comment. Why don't you just wait until the Switch 2 Direct in just a few hours instead of making grand assumptions. Nintendo has not announced a single game for Switch 2 yet beyond showing us that tiny bit of footage of the next Mario Kart, so why would they announce a Switch 2 version of Prime 4 before the Direct?

LOL. Like that wasn't extremely obvious. If that was Switch 2 footage, that would be pretty bad. If there is a Switch 2 version(I think there is, but we still don't know) I would expect it to look better than that.

@BandeeOfTheStars Let me know how your hat tastes!

@Sylamp Oh I see. Well I still feel MP4 is Switch 2 bound LOL. With Switch 2 and Prime 4 both confirmed to be releasing this year, it just seems likely to me.

@Sylamp They did for Wii U. Breath of the Wild.

@Jack_Goetz 🤣🤣🤣

@HalBailman I'm betting Prime 4 is also coming to Switch 2. Ever since Twilight Princess Nintendo has had 1 big final release that is dual platform.

@Jack_Goetz What about Winder Waker and Twlight Princess HD?

@DwaynesGames And yet a lot of people hate NSO and want Virtual Console back. A single SNES game on Virtual Console was 8 bucks. NES games were 5 bucks.

Like anyone was actually playing this shovelware.

I am deeply concerned the tarrifs are going to make getting my hands on Switch 2 a very expensive endeavor. My limit is about $400 for any game console. It is such a crazy, chaotic time to be an American. I would say more, but will restrain myself as to not risk having my comment deleted.

@OorWullie Hmm, that's a bummer if true. What about Forsaken though? That was released on Xbox so no reason they shouldn't also be able to release it on Switch.

I just witch they would bring their remasters of Forsaken and Blood to the Switch! I've begged them for years now, but it keeps falling on deaf ears..

Sad that Star Fox Zero is going to be one of the few games that remains a Wii U exclusive. It might not be the best in the series, but it still has value. For several years I had hopes they would port it to the Switch with modified/improved controld, but alas, don't think it is ever going to happen as we are now at the very end of the Switch's lifecycle.

I really do hope there's a marked improvement on the Switch 2 eShop. A giant company like Nintendo with billions upons billions of dollars can and must do better! They simply have no excuse.

@beartank Thank you!

Does anyone know how you drift in this game? I can't find any tutorial in the game and since there's no manual(like you would have gotten with the actual n64 cart back in the day), I'm left scratching my head.

@Koda1000 Well the funny thing is "boomer shooter" is completely inaccurate. Very few Baby Boomers actually played Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake etc.back in the 90s. That whole now legendary id Software crew that made Doom were all young(at the time) Gen X'ers.

The Dark Ages was not announced last week. Come on now NintendoLife. 🤦‍♂️
