Except for the giant fuck you they did with the Goddesses getting a house in Hyrule Town.

They changed the dialogue in the US release to make it clearer you couldn’t build a third house. The EU version implied you could.

I wondered why they gave us both the EU and US releases when they run the same, but I guess it’s useful for differences in the 2 versions (e.g. Fire Emblem where the EU version had some content cut).

They gave us both because of the additional FIGS language support in the EU version; for non-English speaking countries.

Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Burger time Deluxe have been added to the Game Boy catalogue:

Interesting that neither game was shown in the announcement video's roadmap...

Guess that means that GB/GBC won't be following in order like what GBA/N64 are doing.

Xevious is also notable because Namco currently sell it seperately as part of their NamcoT Collection releases on Switch/PS4/Xbone/PC... Might that mean that we may be getting more stuff from Namco in the future now? (Though I'd be a LOT more interested in Konami's and S-E's classic output if the NSO licensing money could stretch for that...).

I don't even remember a GB roadmap... I just remember the GBA one.

Anyway, told you it wouldn't just be one game (Metroid Fusion). As if 5 consoles wouldn't give them room to drop more then that.

Technically, I didn't remember it, so I'm still right.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble and Blaster Master: Enemy Below have both been added to the GB NSO Library:

New Nintendo titles added to Nintendo Switch Online June 2023

Now up on the main page.

This marks the first worldwide release for Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble as it was never released in European gaming territories before.

The tilt mechanism, was contained in a bespoke GBC cart, but now the same gameplay can be replicated on the Switch easily.

For many, this will be the first time that they've had a chance to play this relatively obscure Kirby title.

Kirby’s Tilt N’ Tumble is a big deal.  First ever European release and first re-release, period.

Great to see.  Also means that we should eventually get the almighty Wario Ware Twisted eventually on GBA NSO

[Glen-i]

Oh, that's great news! I've never played Tilt N Tumble, despite @Dcubed having access to it.

Perfect opportunity, and a good sign for WarioWare Twisted.
