Four SNES games on the way:

They also added the music from Dr. Mario for the NES

Very much looking forward to this as I know very little about the Virtual Boy. I've always wanted to own one, just to see what it's like first hand. This always felt crazy to me that Nintendo never released some of their VB games on the 3DS, it would have been a perfect opportunity to re-release some of these titles again and give them a second chance.

Alarmo got an a new theme added today: I had assumed Alarmo already had a Super Mario Bros theme on it tbh.

Nice little video of the set on Nintendo's twitter account:

It was very enjoyable to read through this thread over the past year or so, I learned of quite a few games I never knew existed as well as reading on how well or poorly some of the classics have aged.

WWE have made a third Youtube channel, a similar one to their WWE Vault channel which will upload WCW content:

Yeah, pretty big in the 1980s and had a spin off show called Care Bear cousins that I recall being popular. I actually barely watched the cartoon myself as a kid but I have a bit of nostalgia for them just because they were something that was pretty much everywhere along with He-man, Transformers and Real Ghostbusters. They seem to be popular again now though, i went to a toy store a few weeks back to get a gift for my housemates son and saw a HUGE Care bear display. I ended up getting the Grumpy one because he looks like he's unimpressed with everything

This is correct.

Pretty cool!

Yeah, its insane that it has been eight years but also that is has been a very solid eight years of great games. I always felt console generations were not long enough so I absolutely love that Switch has lasted this long and will almost certainly get a good year or so of support after the Switch 2 is released. I'll certainly continue to buy games for it over the next year.

The Nintendo Switch is now eight years old

More excellent behind the scenes footage uploaded on WWE's vault channel: It's pretty cool to see the likes of Triple H, Booker T and Rob Van Dam viewing the Elimination Chamber for the first time and seeing their reactions to it

Nintendos Japanese twitter account for software support just announced that Super Soccer with be removed from the NSO SNES library I’m not sure if this will be a worldwide thing or Japan only

Super Mario Bros 2s soundtrack was just added

It’s quite a blast from the past to see these characters again and it seems the original voice actors are back too. The end of the trailer says it’s releasing on “all major platforms” so I’m assuming Switch and/or Switch 2.

Just a heads up, the Grand Prix/Max Cup for the Donkey Kong Returns Theme is now live

My crazy wild card theory about what else the Switch 2 can do is that we'll have the option to use a Switch 1 as a controller for it, much like the Wii U gamepad, when the Switch 2 is in docked mode.

There will be a Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Maximus Cup/Grand Prix from the 13th of February

Wario Land 4 is headed to NSO on February 14th

Super Mario World is this weeks soundtrack

Supposedly, someone that worked on this games monetisation side has given a breakdown on some of the issues happening behind the scenes. This post is a summary of his now deleted messages: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/s/V7ZUrCGrVa

I believe it was random. I know I would have a few days or even a week where it kept my save file and I would play regularly and then it would randomly disappear. The first time it happened, I assumed it was a one off glitch and would go through story mode all over again and hope the save file would remain only for it to delete again a day or so later. I read that only the PAL versions removed the blood too, which I wish I had known at the time as I had an American N64 but I was playing the PAL version of the game via a converter.

I heard this song from 1982 for the very first time yesterday and I’m amazed by it. I’m also amazed that it wasn’t a huge hit
