I think I have all of the digital rewards that are available now. Although I definitely haven't been good enough at keeping up with them.
Feels like a good time to check I havenāt missed any; are these the right numbers for the more recent sets?
Can confirm, same numbers here and Iāve been very sure not to miss any icon elements!Feels like a good time to check I havenāt missed any; are these the right numbers for the more recent sets?
Impressed by everyone who has gotten everything.
While I dont want every icon part out there (dont really care for the Splatoon or AC ones for instance) It sucks that I missed some of the Odyssey and Zelda ones - and I'm not gonna lie.. it's mostly because the NSO is so slow and tedious, I just give up sometimes and leave the app because it's annoyingly slow. It's even worse than the E-shop.
Oh god it's so slow, I can't even do it with controller because I end up misinputting because of button-mashing. It's actually terrible.Impressed by everyone who has gotten everything.

Cool, will download the trial later today. Do you need multiple Switches to enjoy the game?Why have I never heard of this OBAKEIDORO! game until this latest NSO Game Trial? Itās an asymmetric multiplayer game similar to PAC-MAN VS. and Nintendo Landās Mario Chase, Luigiās Ghost Mansion, and Animal Crossing: Sweet Day! We need more of this on Switch!! Why havenāt I seen anyone talking about this game when itās been out since 2019?!
Played a few matches with my partner earlier and itās pretty fun! Itās the closest thing to those Nintendo Land attractions on Switch besides PAC-MAN VS., at least! Donāt sleep on this Game Trial, yaāll!! At the very least download it for the Platinum Points and play the tutorial and a few matches if youāre a fan of asymmetric multiplayer games.
Only downside, aside from it being less polished than Iād like, is that the gameās pricier than Iād expect for what it is (and even more so if you include the DLC). But at 50% for $9.99 with the current sale, itās not too bad! Just wish it was cheaper so itād be easier to convince friends to pick it up so that we could have some good local multiplayer with it sometime.

Yeah, every player needs their own Switch. It supports both online play and local wireless play. If you donāt have friends to play with you can play online with randoms, though.Cool, will download the trial later today. Do you need multiple Switches to enjoy the game?
Oh, is Dead by Daylight also an asymmetric multiplayer game?? I never looked into it at all because itās very much not my aesthetic at all, and I literally canāt play horror games with realistic art styles, especially if they feature zombies. =PI guess Dead by Daylight just ate its lunch. Both because the aesthetics are more appealing to the horror crowd and because OBAKEIDORO!'s mechanics are a bit too simplified to sustain long-term interest.
Playing it reminded me of one of the smaller 3DS multiplayer titles in the best way, though.

And yeah, the game is pretty simple; like I said itās comparable to the competitive Nintendo Land attractions or PAC-MAN VS., but I guess this oneās a harder sell since itās just one game rather than part of a compilation like the others I mentioned.
But this is the kind of multiplayer that the Wii U did best and is frustratingly uncommon on Switch so Iāll take whatever I can get!
Huh, okay, I guess that probably explains the popularity of it then, since asymmetric multiplayer games are the bomb. Too bad itās not the kind of game I can play visually and theming-wise, though. XPDead by Daylight is a less simplified OBAKEIDORO! with the same basic concept of a group of survivors trying to escape a monster, the monster having to catch them, and the survivors being able to free each other if caught. What it adds is giving the survivors a set of objectives to complete so they can't just hide and sit out a timer in order to win. But other than that the two games have more in common than not, down to a long list of unlockable characters and killers.
tbh you're better off. Dead by Daylight is a game where if you don't absolutely stomp the other side, you feel like they're horribly OP the entire time. I've played over 200 hours of it and it mostly is just matches that leave you frustrated, especially with certain monsters being unquestionably overpowered. Nobody's really happy with the state of the game as well, as updates neglect to fix balance issues while the whole gameplay loop continues to be more or less frustration.Huh, okay, I guess that probably explains the popularity of it then, since asymmetric multiplayer games are the bomb.

Ah, well so far what Iāve played of OBAKEIDORO! seems pretty well balanced for each side, at least! Plus it supports local play (both wirelessly with multiple systems and split screen on a single system) while it looks like Dead by Daylight is only online, so thereās that, too. =ptbh you're better off.

Pfft, as a non-XP tier street urchin Iāll be over here with my nose pressed up against the glass.Itās N64 Icon Day (and everybodyās celebrating)
As in the second wave, or is this the first?Itās N64 Icon Day (and everybodyās celebrating)

I want them so bad but upgrading the Expansion Pass would be a waste as I don't have time for N64 games right now. Plus I'm not sure if I realistically even want to change from the cute green Animal Crossing bunny! Never seen him in my game but he's great.
Honestly I think the NSO Expansion Pack is genuinely a great deal. N64 Games are way more substantial than NES games/most SNES games, and the Genesis games are basically ALL bangers and I recommend almost ALL of them.Nintendo got me.
I wanted those icons, and now they got me.
Fuck.
I'm also gonna be playing those Mario Party titles, and maybe I'll finally give Banjo a fair shake, but it's a lot funnier to say it's just for icons.
While the value of (cool E symbol)20 is going to be entirely subjective, I do have to argue: the emulation quality on that Genesis/Mega Drive collection on Switch is not great and is missing a few fantastic titles on the NSO app. The NSO appās emulator is by M2, and is frankly brilliant.I just can't justify the ā¬20 extra for just N64 games, there's better alternatives for the Mega Drive games already on the Switch. If it was a tenner or I had a choice between the included Sega games I'd been on the bandwagon first day, but as it stands it's just not enough and too much at the same time.
I don't see them. I guess it's wait until the first.Itās N64 Icon Day (and everybodyās celebrating)
I don't see them. I guess it's wait until the first.
I put about sixty combined hours into two N64 games after getting the Expansion Pack in December. That works out to a dollar an hour for entertainment spending. Not bad!
The special icons for the next three months are a bonus. But if Nintendo really wanted me to keep paying for the Expansion Pack, they'd drop Animal Forest with an added English language option on N64 NSO.
I feel like the GameCube is the point at which Nintendo thinks full-priced remakes are better than mere re-releases. I would also guess that they have other games they'd be more interested in re-making well before AC.Theyāre going up at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific!
As cool as Animal Forest would be in English, thatād be a boatload of work for them to do. Itās not just a matter of translating the script: Animal Forest on N64 has a LOT of Japan-specific holidays/events that they stripped out and replaced for the GCN release. Unless they wanted to just keep it full-on Japan Style, theyād have to do more work than I think theyād like.
Itād be easier for them to find a way to get you the GameCube version honestly.

I am not Japanese, but I am interested in other cultures. Give me Japan-centric AC! I would love another avenue besides books and NHK's culture-centered programming to learn about Japanese holidays and celebrations!
In my heart I know youāre right, I know Iāve been holding out for GB/GBA before upgrading.Honestly I think the NSO Expansion Pack is genuinely a great deal.

Wait, MP1+2 is out tomorrow??? Not the usual Friday (thursday night) release?Nah itās tomorrow, same time Mario Party 1 and 2 drop on the N64 app. N64 icons arenāt taking the place of the usual monthly wave; itās a separate thing.
Finally, a beach background for my blue penguinā¦
I get my Pokio icon this month...
MORE MARIO ODYSSEY ICONS LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I get my Pokio icon this month...
Most are new with a couple old onesare the odyssey icons new or a repeat?
damn, i was hoping for a repeat so i can get the one wave i missed from the first time.Most are new with a couple old ones
The backgrounds and frames seem to be mostly repeats though
So old ones can come back then. Nice.Most are new with a couple old ones
The backgrounds and frames seem to be mostly repeats though
my guess is ālow but not zeroāChances of getting Banjo icons from the N64 ones?
