Sadly not, you can't even use net once you are there. The Island is basically like a daily car boot sale, with all the characters that sometimes visit your main island, (like Crazy redd and his art) set up shop all day. There are also few of extra characters you can't meet otherwise there. However, Nintendo also added a little boat on your main island that that takes you to a random island, which should help with catching any bugs you need. I think those islands are not effected by the current season so you'll find bugs there that you can't normally catch this time of the year. Outside of that you can use a Nook Miles Tour to a island. I had to do that for a few bugs when they simply were not showing up for me lol Also, Yeah let me know what art you need and I can mail it out to you

It seems I only have one of those, the Rock-Head Statue. you should get it in the mail any time from now.

yeah, I would not have been able to complete the art collection had they not added Harvs Island, because before that you were at the mercy of a random appearance of Crazy redd and hoping he had the art I needed. Once they added that island I went every day and bought something which makes him replace it the next day. By the way, do you know which statues you need? I kept all the legit spare artwork that showed up so I could post them to you if I happen to have them.

Since Nintendo are reading my posts and taking notes, I also think the Switch could do with a new Donkey Kong Country game, a Metroid Prime remake and a Star Fox Zero port with good controls.

It took me over a year but I finally completed the art section of the Museum, which means all sections (Bugs,Fish, Fossils and Art) are all complete

There is still no release date for TMNT Shredders Revenge, but there is a new trailer showing off Splinter:

UK price for the DLC is £22.49

I've always loved the art style of this series (I've never played any of them though)

wow...

For those that missed it, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is getting 48 remade courses as paid DLC. it's included with the NSO Expansion Pass or sold separately for $24.99

That was a fantastic Direct. I am so happy about the Mario Kart DLC, its something I wanted but didn't think would happen.

oh my god YES

There is a recently translated interview with Shigeru Miyamoto from 1999 about Ocarina of Time, that has some funny and interesting stuff in it: https://shmuplations.com/ocarinaoftime/

NMS really did give away some neat stuff back in the day. The writers seemed to love Street fighter above anything actually from Nintendo, so a lot of the gifts were Street fighter related like the Street fighter 2's Soundtrack, a VHS guide to playing Street fighter 2 etc. I remember the huge Street Fighter 2 Turbo poster they put out in two parts, which was on my wall for at least a decade.

yeah even if the old rewards were better, they didn't come around often and when they did they were expensive and sold out pretty quickly. I did get a couple of nice Diorama's and Donkey Konga 2 (complete with Bongos!) though

What is this about? are they missable or something?

wow, Banjo Kazooie holds up really well. You wouldn't think the game is 24 years old

I had a poster exactly like that Mario Kart 64 one on my wall as a teenager.

If you are an NSO subscriber, there is a Terreria trial that runs from the 26th of January until the 1st of February

Another Cup/Grand Prix:

Like most people here have said, with MK8D still selling so well i very much doubt the next game will come to this console. I guess there is a chance of the next Mario Kart coming to Switch, since Nintendo are releasing Splatoon 3 on Switch rather then adding more maps to the existing Splatoon 2, but I'd much rather Nintendo some DLC (I think some new tracks, drivers and karts would be popular even after all this time) for MK8D and release the next Mario Kart for Switch 2.
