Helmsly

I just watched through this documentary about Wrestlemania IX, which something I never thought they would do as it's not known as a particular great PPV but it was one of the first times they made Wrestlemania a true Spectacle with a redesigned set as well as it taking place in Las Vegas, and it turned out to be the first time they recorded footage backstage while the event was being set up and running. I absolutely loved it, as they had a lot of behind the scenes footage from a time when they absolutely never did that kind of thing, to protect the gimmicks of the characters, but you get to see them all hanging out, laughing and chatting with each other as well as crazy stuff like all the animals they had backstage for the various entrances as well as you get to see the wrestlers in modern day look back at the footage and reminisce and talk about what was happening at that time. It was very interesting to hear the stuff going on backstage at the time. For example, Lex Lugar says he thinks thinks Mr Perfect had "too much caffeine that day" (lol) as once he got in the ring he uncharacteristically had no idea what to do in the match and kept asking Lex "what are we doing". Undertaker talks about how difficult it was to wrestle Giant Gonzalaz and they even talk about Gonzalaz ring attire and what it was originally supposed to look like compared to how it looked once they made the suit. And of course the controversy over the ending of Bret being cheated out of the the title by Yokuzuna only for Hulk Hogan to get a match and win it minutes later. Even as a Hulk Hogan fan I wasn't 100% on board with that at the time. Its worth watching if you are nostalgic for that era. Sadly its not available to watch officially outside US, but its out there.

I watched a few videos of people at the Switch 2 event and it seems Cow was the most chosen racer:

I am not sure exactly what this is but it seems like there are extra temporary vehicles on the tracks that you can change into ? I guess the trailer in the Direct showed a driver driving into the inside of a truck and then controlling that for a short while so I assume it’s the same situation here but with some kind of hovercraft.

Three games were just added to the Mega Drive library for NSO Streets of Rage Super Thunder Blade ESWAT: City Under Siege

Luigi's Mansion was just added to the app. 73 tracks in total!

I also got the email to say I can buy a Switch 2. Unsure if I will though.

Here's a shot of Mario Kart Worlds Map:

I am surprised the Switch 2 in the MK bundle doesn't look any different. Like, a different colour or something

Yeah, I let mine lapse for a few days last year but other then that I was a subscriber non-stop since the very start. I opted into emails and everything else. The site says "Has spent a certain amount of time played purchased/paid Nintendo Switch games". I mostly played Fortnite in recent months which is F2P so i assume that doesn't count.

I wasn’t sure which thread to post this in, but there will be a Nintendo Treehouse stream on the 3rd and 4th of April:

F-Zero and F-Zero X expansion Kit music was just added to the app. I think it’s pretty cool they’re adding 64DD music to the service. I wonder if they’ll add 64DD games to the NSO library?

Hypothetically, had the Virtual Boy come out in the UK and they had thought about bringing this game here as well, I wonder if they would have changed Nestor to Seal from Nintendo Magazine, being as we never got Nintendo Power here.

I'd love the Switch 2 to have proper Themes. I had assumed that was going to happen over time with the Switch 1, back when the console came out eight years go, because the 3DS had them but weirdly it never happened. I looked at some fan made themes out there and I think anything like this would be a nice option: Or even the option to use our screenshots as themes would be nice. My 3DS has that awesome Dreamcast theme that plays the lobby music from Phantasy Star Online and makes the sound effects for navigating the menu sound like the Dreamcast Menu

WWE Vault uploaded a couple more behind the scenes videos from the past, never seen before. This Wrestlemania 2000 video is a great showcase of how things were backstage during this era but also a little hartbreaking when you see Chyna looking so happy. And then there is this random back and forth with Rock and Stone Cold at Fan Axxess in 2003, which wasn't planned but is pretty great:

Yeah this looks fantastic and after how much I enjoyed Shredders revenge I’ll probably get this day one.

Yeah, it sounds like a gut-wrenching experience.

The first Smash brothers coming to the N64 NSO library would be nice

the location for the New York Switch 2 event already has its Switch 2 banners up:

The have added music from Kirby and the Forgotten Land to the app. However, for some reason, this weeks update does not contain all the tracks from the game. There is a note to inform us that the rest is coming later this year:

Very sorry to hear that Nolan.

September 2005 I can’t believe it’s been nearly 20 years! I remember I signed up to ask why the Streets of Rage games where not on the PAL version of Sonic Gems Collection on the GameCube as this was one of the only Nintendo forums that I could find so I assumed people here would know lol

Four SNES games on the way:
