GoldenEye 007 Arrives This Friday on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Now up on the main page. Thanks to @Josh64 for putting up lots of news articles recently. It has been quiet, but we've been keeping the main page updated. It's looking like things are about to get busier now though, with the release of Goldeneye 007! OK... alright, now I'll buy into the NSO Expansion Pak. (and yes... I bought an NSO N64 controller... now watch as they get restocked) Interestingly, there may be other ways to play using a real N64 controller and a Raphnet adapter, though I haven't checked this yet. Anyway, looking forward to playing some Goldeneye 007 online.

It's good to see replacement Joy-Con sticks with hall effect sensors being offered. So long as you're fine with replacing them, and the price seems to be around £30 or so for the pair, this seems like a good solution. I decided to pre-order one of these controllers for the Switch, which offers hall effect joysticks, a proper d-pad and a few other improvements... https://nyxigaming.com/products/nyxi-wizard-wirleless-joy-pad-for-switch-switch-oled It has the same layout as a GC pad, functions like a pro controller, seems to work wirelessly and wired with the charging cable, and has a few extra buttons. I've no idea how it will be to use, and it won't be shipped for a while but it looks decent enough. The site isn't that great for ordering from, though you can get a 10% off discount code, which makes the controller/oversized GC joy-cons around £50. It likely won't replace an official GC controller for Smash, but it could make playing that game and others in portable mode for longer than half an hour a possibility.

Thanks for the games. We had some good random character matches this week, two doubles with the same two characters (like a team match... except not) and two quadruple character matches. That'll probably never happen again... until it does. (1:27:40 - 1:42:25) for the four match-up matches. Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Saturday Smash! (21/01/2023)

Thanks for the games. On Waluigi PInball (32:00 minute mark) there were two lightning strikes, and I'm almost certain they hit in exactly the same spot, on different laps, resulting in the same outcome... spin-out right before an item box, with the item being obtained. Makes a change from just after obtaining the item. Also, I didn't know you could trick off the fallen Thwomps on Berlin Byways... (48:22) I do now though. Oh... and (10:10) on Kalimari Desert for head-on Starman vs Train, always fun. Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Get Together! (19/01/2023)

Thanks for the games. Some great matches, a bit of lag with the (nearly) "A New Challenger Approaches!" and more than a few "Final Smash... almost" moments. (Timestamp 1:22:00 - 1:26:00 for the "lag/no contest" in case you want to watch the stream and want to skip straight to the matches again) Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Saturday Smash!

N-Europe Turns Twenty-Five Now up on the main page. Thanks to anyone who has worked at N-Europe, visited the site, and/or the forums. Happy 25th Birthday N-Europe.

Thanks for the games. A great start to the year for N-E Saturday Smash, some decent matches, and even a few 'three of the same character' match-ups. See you all next week, unless everyone is playing Vampire Survivors, of course. Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Saturday Smash! (07/01/2023)

Thanks for the games. Pretty good for thr first night of this year. I thought there might be some technical hiccups with the stream as I switched streaming software, but it seems to be fine. (On Berlin Byways, I did change a setting as it looked like the stream might be stuttering, but it turned out fine) Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Get Together! (05/01/2023)

Thanks for the games. Cheers to Glen for setting these nights up, and to Dean, Hazel, Simon and Chris for joining. (plus anyone else who has joined any games this year) Same time next year hopefully, have a good one. Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Saturday Smash! (31/12/2022)

Thanks for the games. Good to get a few races in, some close ones there, even though it was just three of us. I missed the first race, as I changed some capture settings in OBS and only just got everything set up in time, but I still caught some of it in spectator mode.

Thanks for letting us know @Glen-i hopefully you can make next week. I should still be around if anyone else wants to play Mario Kart. Though, depending on if @BowserBasher is going to be online or not, it could be a very quiet week.

Thanks for the games. Good to get another session of Smash in, we might be able to fit one more in next week, as it'll be New Year's Eve, but maybe not. And if not, then... same time next year, have a good one. Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Saturday Smash! (24/12/2022)

Thanks for the games. Some great themes with the custom items tonight. Here's a link to this week's stream... - - - - - N-Europe Get Together! (22/12/2022)

Yeah, I should be up for some Saturday Smash, as usual. Besides, I've got the stream set up as N-E Saturday Smash... 'N-E Friday Fracas' doesn't quite have the same appeal to it. But, we'll see what everyone has to say, though Saturday is looking likely.

Mario Strikers: Battle League Football Update Out Now

Thanks for the games. That worked out pretty well, I forgot about Smash, remembered when it was gone half-eight, then Simon got on towards the end so we still played for over two hours. I'll see if I remember for next week (if that happens, though probably not as it'll be the 24th) and if not... same time, next year?
