fml I just realized next week would be what makes or breaks if Nintendo maintains one N64 game a month or not since the roadmap was finished.

  • Dr. Mario 64 (added October 25th, 2021)
  • Mario Kart 64 (added October 25th, 2021)
  • Mario Tennis (added October 25th, 2021)
  • Sin and Punishment (added October 25th, 2021)
  • Star Fox 64 (added October 25th, 2021)
  • Super Mario 64 (added October 25th, 2021)
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (added October 25th, 2021)
  • WinBack: Covert Operations (added October 25th, 2021)
  • Yoshi’s Story (added October 25th, 2021)
  • Paper Mario (added December 10, 2021) 46 days - Second Friday
  • Banjo-Kazooie (added January 20, 2022) 41 days - Third Thursday
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (added February 25, 2022) 36 days - Fourth Friday
  • F-Zero Zero X (added March 11, 2022) 14 days - Second Friday
  • Mario Golf (added April 15, 2022) 35 days - Third Friday
  • Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (added May 20, 2022) 35 days - Third Friday
  • Pokemon Snap (added June 24, 2022) 35 days - Fourth Friday
  • Pokémon Puzzle League (added July 15, 2022) 21 days - Third Friday

On average, 32.9 days in between game releases. If you take out the F-Zero outlier, it jumps to 35.6 days.

This Friday, August 19th (third Friday of the month) would mark the 35 day mark if we hold hope. Next week Friday would make 42 days the second longest wait since Paper Mario was added after the initial launch of the Expansion Pass.

...there comes a moment in every pattern mfer person's life where they may realize the grip they hold on their sanity is extremely tenuous at best 🙃 Capitalism thrives on a binary "vote with your wallet", and not a "yes, official emulation is good and want to enjoy the content I can, but why do you expect me to blindly throw money at this when I don't even know if it'll be supported in the future, Nintendo?" I simply wish there were, or at least a way to cut off this hopium I'm evidently hooked on. If next week Friday ends with no new software, I'll be extremely disappointed yet unsurprised, and further discouraged from expecting better for NSO continuing further home console emulator support beyond the 90s.

Good job dude, and Wave Race no less! 👍

What do people expect for August's N64 game? We have no roadmap, so shot in the dark...maybe Wave Race 64?

Brofield said:
Wave Race 64 feels like a good summer type of game, I'd be genuinely happy if Super Smash Bros was added earlier than later in the service, though.

Brofield said:
I feel like August is the best time for Wave Race 64 if we're not getting GoldenEye in any capacity.

Still summer for a little bit longer for the Northern hemisphere, and the Southern hemisphere gamers are approaching the end of winter and already longing for summer.

Accidentally manifesting Wave Race 64 since July

Not going to lie, I despise cats. Mainly because one tried to gouge my face when I was 4; fortunately my aunt's dog was there and he grabbed that little shit and tossed it away like a rag doll.

We can only hope! Atlus needs to return to the DS days and bring back Etrian Odyssey, Devil Survivor, and the Trauma series.

Yes! Could do a lot of cool things with HD rumble and the joycon gyro for the operation stuff. I think their VN stuff would do even better now with increased popularity of the genre and at least critical success of 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Want those other series back as well, but worried about EO without dual screens. Think it could work in handheld at least. Need to maintain the ability to map yourself. Atlus super hard tactical RPG would also be good right now too in this new resurgence. The death of “low budget” consoles really hurt some of the possibilities of these series I feel. But I’ll keep hope.

It’s crazy to think how revolutionary wave race was. The 3D stunt area was unlike anything we had really seen and the physics system was way ahead of what had been around before. Blue Storm was also amazing if people played that. REALLY want to have that rereleased (obviously want a new one). I think those that haven’t played will be pleasantly surprised how this holds up.
 
Actually now that I think about it...
I haven't seen Kit post at all ever since I tagged him on that link to the Sonic thread...

I think I ruined it for everyone 😞

I'm joking yall
though I did actually tag him in a link to the sonic thread and I seriously haven't seen him around since

also highly agree that it’d be neat to get smash bros on NSO even though I’m not counting on it

we’ve already got more or less got smash bros resmashtered deluxe, but I want the crunchy polygonal taste of original sin
 
Barely Able said:
With Nate tweeting, I’ll assume there is more too this, but didn’t this game get scheduled maintenance before? Probably was original launch time frame, but could be something that doesn’t mean a launch is imminent.
Click to expand...
A release is a matter of when. The game is done. Printed & now sitting on a shelf.

The tweet was just poking fun that it lives in the form of getting maintenance.
 
Mandos said:
Yeah, I had 2 cats before my family had dogs. They were indoor/outdoor(never doing that again) and they were helpful for my nerves. Definitely want to get an attached one tho. But I really need the lower maintenance. Plus generally longer lifespan(well at least compared to my current dog)
Click to expand...
That's the good thing about having nursed the two family cats. They're almost as affectionate as our dog, given we brought them up on the bottle after taking them in.
They're luckily also very content with not going outside -- two of our cats already went missing these last few years. Too much stress and too many worries to risk that again. Dog and cats play along very well, too, so that's great. Love 'em all.

You clearly misunderstood the cat's intentions. It was love, not hate, that drove it to this kind of action. Clearly.


Clearly.

It probably tried to obliterate you tbh. That's cats for ya.
 
If Fire Emblem slips into 2023 I'd be very happy with Advance Wars this year but I'm not exactly lacking in new strategy games.

That and a roster of 12 characters in a game that is significantly less technical and less chaotic makes it the ideal Smash for pick up and play with friends / family who don't play games that often
 
why am I this excited that, not for Wave Race coming to NSO (though that rules) but they got the Kawasaki branding in there? Why do I have weird Nintendo history brainworms

Absolutely, remember when @Raccoon manifested Kit Ellis joining the Fami using nothing but the power of snark?

That's true; and who says the power of prayer doesn't work? 😋

Though in hindsight if that worked maybe I should have asked for Covid/Monkeypox to disappear with haste instead

Blue Storm was my third Gamecube game ever, but honestly I'm super stoked to get into the original game. Even seeing the water physics in that trailer looked mind bendingly good; I definitely agree this is gonna be one of those games that holds up remarkably well

I'll do my damnedest, but I feel I have to finish Cruis'n Blast first before we see it on NSO 😋

Become a pattern mfer

Speaking of patterns, the new average days between releases of N64 games on NSO jumps to 33.111... and 35.5 (minus the F-Zero release), which 35 days after August 19th would put it squarely on the fourth Friday of September, which is the 23rd.

My hubris is gonna get the better of me but...bookmark this post?

Can we please get Diddy Kong Racing next at some point?

Lowkey I kinda feel like that's not as far removed from possibility as we can hope for. Maybe not next month, but I don't feel it's too wild to believe we'll get it before the end of the year

Maybe I just need to complain even harder to see Gamecube on NSO in about 14 months 😋
 
Raccoon said:
it would also have better online than ultimate
Click to expand...
Isn't that a terrifying prospect to consider lol

Somewhat related, but does NSO use NPLN for it's internet connection? I know more tech savvy people said it wouldn't solve the woes of SSBU's online, but for a game that doesn't naturally have online I wonder what kind of performance we can expect out of it when SSB64 is added

I never played Wave Race (or Blue Storm) growing up, I hope it's cool. It'll help me get over coming back to work and not being at the beach anymore.

You know what, it’s hot and I’m in a chill mood. Gotta take care of my morning stuff but I’m going to fire up xbc3 today!

If I had the money/bigger place I’d consider a cat for my dog. He’s a big friendly goof and grew up with one as a puppy. But right now not really an option. He eats over a hundred bucks in food each month.

I only have the bandwidth for one per at a time
 
Was anyone crazy into Wii Party/Wii U Party back in the day? My family used to gather on Sundays and we'd spend hours playing these two.
Hopefully they come back (Switch Party where are you?) as they were a lot of fun and had good soundtracks.
