markderoos Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I would be all over a GC Online. The Cube is more than 15 years old and home to some fantastic first party titels that still hold up really well today. It’s crazy that we’ve seen so many Wii(U) ports and games from the older systems have been rereleased more than a few times now, yet most of the GC games are still waiting for their first rereleases... 2 1

I think we could well be in line for HD remasters of a few Gamecube games such as F-Zero GX, Wave Race: Blue Storm and Super Mario Sunshine. In fact, I feel confident that we'll get at least one of those games within the next 18-24 months

Even for the time when it was released, it was short on content, lacking a proper career mode and featuring only a smidge more characters and tracks than the N64 game. Plus it had inferior controls when compared to its predecessor.

From a playability perspective, Wave Race 64 is by far superior. And I maintain my previous point: Blue Storm has only ever so slightly more content.
Blade Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 To be honest, I don't care about NES or SNES. What I want are N64 and GameCube. I mean I wish Nintendo broaden their horizons a bit in regards to their back catalogue. It especially makes sense now we have moved to a netflix based service. 1
Hero-of-Time Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Once again Japan gets an extra game. On this weeks Radio Free Nintendo, James made a passing, but very valid, comment. He asked how the hell is it fair that the price is the same for this service in every country but certain ones are getting more games than others. The man has a point. 2

I mean it wouldn't make sense for stuff like RPGs, but Joy Mech Fight is totally playable without any understanding of Japanese, and Tsuppari Ōzumō looks like it would be too. I originally had no intention of keeping the JPN version of Nintendo Switch Online installed on my system, but now that exclusive games are part of the equation it's definitely staying put.
Ronnie Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) I love those old school box arts. Mario Odyssey 2 should just be a picture of Mario on a pink background or something. With a logo that takes up half the box. Edited February 6, 2019 by Ronnie
Jimbob Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I for one never finished Super Mario Bros 2 ever, and i'm partial to a Kirby game. And they (Nintendo) really should sub the Japan exclusive title with something else for the US and EU/UK player base. Having 3 released in Japan to only 2 over this way doesn't do the price much fairness (but then, it's still cheap none the less)
Hero-of-Time Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 As well as the games that were announced earlier, two SP versions of older games have also been added to the service. Quote Blaster Master Start from area 8. You’ll start from area 8, the final area, in this special version of Blaster Master. Moreover, SOPHIA is fully equipped and ready for action! The Hover Gauge and Power are full, and Homing Missiles, Thunder Break, and Multi Warhead Missiles are all maxed out – along with Jason’s own Gun Energy Gauge and Power! You’re ready to take on the Underworld Lord… So get to it! Metroid The fully fortified bounty hunter! You just got a great head start on your mission to defeat Mother Brain! In this version of Metroid, every power-up, including all Power Suit weapons and abilities, is available from the start. The ending of this game changes slightly depending on how fast it’s beaten, boasting a total of five endings. Here, you’re ready to rush right into the finale, where you can see the ending that features Samus without her trademark Power Suit.
Dufniall Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Wasn't there already an SP version of Metroid? Strange they are putting out another one. Good to see Kirby coming to NES Online, it's my favourite game on the system. I've recently played it on the NES Mini though. I've tried to get into Zelda II but didn't really feel it, but it's a Zelda game I've never played so I should at least give it a proper go.
Dcubed Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 We get screwed again? Not surprised in the slightest. 2 NES games a month is monumentally pathetic.

One of the most helpful things you can do in the game is grind early on and level up some of your health and magic. It's also pretty useful to try and time it so that you level up your health in a dungeon as this will be a free refill of health for you. 1
Sméagol Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 I'm wondering whether I should open up a separate SNES thread when those games become available or not. In the meanwhile: 1
bob Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Just delete the 'NES' part of the title here? With 2 (two!) games a month, this thread is unlikely to become overwhelmed... 1 1

That said, i'll probably just follow whatever Nintendo decides to do. Separate apps, separate threads. otherwise all one thread. Unless it's one app with an added menu. Anyway. 3

Glen-i Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Yeah, I might have to jump in on StarTropics. Always been curious.
Ike Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Nice, good excuse to give Kid Icarus another play through.
