Just realized that since the GB emulator doesn't let you set a palette on startup in GBC mode. I guess it makes sense, though I always liked playing stuff with inverted colors.

A lot of famous Nintendo devs worked on Hamtaro! The first game for GBC, Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu, was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and Yoshio Sakamoto of Metroid fame, and it was basically Tomodachi Life Episode 0. Sakamoto talked a bit about it here and you can tell the game was very influential for Sakamoto and Nintendo in general (I mean, Miis were created for Tomodachi!). The game was co-developed by PAX Softnica, which at the time had very close ties with Nintendo, developing or co-developing Mother 1, Donkey Kong 94, Mole Mania, Balloon Kid GB, and the Famicom Mukashi Banashi / Famicom Bunko adventure games. Alas, the game didn't leave Japan.
PAX became the lead developer of Ham-Hams Unite for GBC and Ham-Hams Heartbreak for GBA, this time under the supervision of Nintendo EAD. The Tomodachi gameplay was left behind and the games became adventure games, where you have to learn the "Ham-Chat", the secret language of Hamtaro and his friends. These two games are cute and full of little secrets here and there (the second one even has a HUGE reference to Zelda). They were also fully localized into English and various European languages (some months ago, I started playing the German version to re-learn the language, and it's a very charming localization).
After Ham-Ham Heartbreak, PAX stopped working with Nintendo, and the series went to AlphaDream, the Mario & Luigi guys. As good as it might sound, unfortunately, with their first title, Rainbow Rescue (released only in Japan and EU), they took the series into a... dare I say, a "childish" direction, focusing more on minigames and de-emphasizing Ham-Chat and the adventure gameplay. There's still a world to explore and characters to interact with (and the sprites are gorgeous), but everything is a bit more shallow. Their next game, Ham-Ham Games, was simply a collection of Olympic-themed minigames. For DS they then developed a quiz game that didn't leave Japan, and another minigame collection (though that one wasn't produced by Nintendo).
It would be great to see Ham-Hams Unite and Ham-Hams Heartbreak on NSO, though the chances are low. They had a unique gameplay that no modern game has tried to replicate, as far as I know.

Honestly, a cash dump on SE would be a good idea too. Not just for the expected stuff (FF, Mana, SaGa, Chrono, Ogre, etc) but the treasure trove of Taito stuff across all Nintendo's systems. And also deeper cuts like Mischief Makers, Lufia 1-2 or the Gaia trilogy that might not see rerelease otherwise.

I absolutely loved these games as a kid and I'm only now finding out they had top caliber talent behind them. Geniality always comes through!
I will say though that I also loved Ham-ham Games. It was a completely different game but was also very competent, I remember the volleyball game was absolute fire. It was what first got me into volleyball and made me join the school team.

While I do agree Rainbow Rescue is weaker then Unite or Heartbreak, I do feel that RR emulates the feeling of watching the show better. I would recommend Unite or Heartbreak to anyone who enjoys adventure/puzzle games, RR is for fans of the Hamtaro show only.A lot of famous Nintendo devs worked on Hamtaro!

GBA is very good. There's a few minorly suboptimal aspects, and I do wonder how certain features in the future will be handled, but it's overall very good.
N64 is significantly improved from launch, but still the worst emulator of the bunch by a pretty significant margin. The issues don't significantly impact playability for the most part, but they're definitely there.

As long as there's a profile connected to a Japan-region Nintendo Account, Japanese news will appear. If you're just temporarily switching the region of the one Account then any news downloaded while it was in Japan mode will remain until it naturally scrolls out, but it won't have any other lasting effect. If you're using a separate Account permanently set to Japan, you'll just keep getting news in both languages.

Does Paper Mario still have that crazy lag on the pause menu? I thought I was losing my mind with how slow it was.
- Pronouns
- She/They
They intentionally added the artificial lag to the menu (and the Lava Piranha battle; that one is to replicate how it is on original hardware, but apparently they think the pause screen was permanently laggy?) so yes. I don’t expect it to ever change because of that.
A few other games have artificial lag in certain spots like Majora’s Mask, Banjo-Kazooie and Pokémon Snap (all my favourite games on the system…); the former two are fine since they’re trying to keep things in sync in certain cutscenes that did lag on original hardware (the Giants stopping the Moon, and the Stop ‘n’ Swap pictures; the former would have the music cut off on VC so this is an improvement), but Snap is like Paper Mario in that they introduced unnecessary lag to a menu (selecting the pictures for Oak) that definitely didn’t slow down that much on original hardware.
The F-Zero X lag isn’t intentional though so that’s just on an unoptimized emulator.

- He/Him
It feels so random... Why would they allow Pilotwings and Goldeneye to run at higher framerates while intentionally crippling other titles?
On menus, no less. Snappy menus aren't detrimental to the experience in any way.

Honestly one of the reasons I predicted this for the Direct was because of the eShop closure, as well as the impending launch of the Pokemon Stadium games on NSO (where I hope we get GB Pokemon and transfer functionality - I won't be using it all myself, but it would elevate the service a little more). Hopefully the updates are regular, but while the launch selection is slim, Wario Land 3, Minish Cap and Superstar Saga will keep me busy when I get around to them.
Yeah, I used to love doing this. The games in the NSO app boot up after the GameBoy start up screen, which (if memory serves) is when you'd be able to set your pallete on the Color.
It's nice the Color filter is there, but it'd be a lovely touch in the future if you can cycle through the pallete swaps like on the original hardware.

I’m playing Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga for the first time! I’m loooving this game!
I always wanted to play it - just never bought it back in the day and now with it just being on NSO, I clicked and play with ease and it’s just so great!

Tetris local multiplayer is fantastic! Though it's annoying to have a big bar at the top badgering you if you're in the middle of a solo sesh when the other player joins. Rock solid connection but we were sat less than 2ft apart.

just realized we're probably getting a couple of picross games! mario's picross is localized and ready to go, picross 2 is in japanese but they can release it like mario's super picross, and there's also pokemon picross which is unreleased but a finished rom leaked a few years ago.

Let's share our personal Game Boy wishlists! (I need something to do while on the john.)
I've excluded GBA (for another list), those already teased in the Direct, Shantae, and the Mana and the SaGa games as they have their own collections.
Translations of the Game Boy Wars and The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls would not go amiss either, however unlikely!
I wonder how they will handle real-time-clock functionality...? Hopefully we wouldn't have to go into standby mode while keeping the NSO app running (thinking of those pesky little Harvest Sprites in Harvest Moon).

I'm super happy about GB and GBA getting emulators on Switch - I did not play many GB games and I played zero GBA games because I just was not in to handheld games during these times so most of these games will be new to me.
Went through Super Circuit, and while it was kinda neat it's the worst Mario Kart I've played I think. It was quite hard to, struggled a bit at times.
Highlight though, Kuru Kuru Kururin, holy shit that was great. Extremely challening in the end and I had to take help from Save stated the last few levels because I most certainly would never have been able to beat it otherwise.
Not sure what I'll jump in to next, probably Kirby - super interested to see what comes next

Yeah, noticed this as well. I’m curious if the palettes they set playing GB as GBC are actually some of the preset ones on real hardware or if they’re uniquely hand-tuned. It would be nice to be able to swap them on the fly since I never wanted to constantly turn my GBC on/off just to see all the options.

I feel like the Boktai games need some kind of remaster rebalanced around not having a solar patch (and ideally translating the third game into English officially). It's playable with solar hacks, but it always feels funky like playing gyro games with a gyro removed patch.

Not gonna lie, I wrote off ever being able to play stuff like Kirby Tilt and Tumble or WarioWare Twisted, simply because of how expensive retro Nintendo games are along with the pains of emulating gyro. Nintendo implementing them here is so damn cool.
Anyway, been playing Wario Land 3 and Kuru Kuru Kururin, as I’ve heard so much positivity around both of them and they’re the two biggest games on the service that I haven’t played yet besides Metroid II. Liking both of them quite a bit, although they certainly aren’t flawless. The terrible localization of Kururin is incredibly endearing.

It’s been compared a lot to Metroidvanias (which makes sense as it’s developed by R&D1), but this playthrough it honestly reminds me a lot of Mario 64 (and maybe Banjo-Kazooie a bit since that’s a Mario 64-influenced game with move-based progression).
My one complaint as I near the end of this replay is it feels like a lot of the later levels rely on “you’ve hit what looks like a dead end, try smashing everything around you until you find something breakable” but it’s still a fantastic game and I think the best in the series.

Played a bit of Metroid II just now to remind that it's such a cool game. It's niche niche because even fans of Metroid, as rare as they are, usually don't like the game, but I love it.
I beat it for the first time in 2021 before Dread, I had the cartridge lying around for ages and one day when I was checking my GB stuff to clean them, I decided to try the game despite hearing it wasn't very good. I just booted it up to check if it was still saving and stuff, but the game ended up grabbing me and before I realized, I was committed to Samus' eradication mission. I ended up beating it in one sit in an afternoon I'll never forget. I could never get into Metroid I, but II is my kind of retro jam.
Give this game a chance, peeps.

Likely that it's the default color pallette GBC use when you start a GB game without inputing button combo.
However, Metroid 2 use a custom color pallette that was programmed for GBC.
3DS Game Boy VC only have two screen options. Normal which is resemble Game Boy Pocket (but it's very much grey and not green tint in the slightest) and the Original which replicate the original Game Boy screen, motion blur and all.
