Nothing like a Quest for Camelot drop to make salty Nintendo fans lose their minds.

While I don’t personally care about Quest for Camelot, I’m now cautiously optimistic that more licensed games will eventually show up. The Lilo and Stitch games on GBA are legit. More people should play them. The first one is even weirdly challenging for a game intended for children.Nothing like a Quest for Camelot drop to make salty Nintendo fans lose their minds.
Yea, what’s the point of a subscription service if you can’t add stuff people wouldn’t buy to it?While I don’t personally care about Quest for Camelot, I’m now cautiously optimistic that more licensed games will eventually show up.

I’m Team Re-release Everything. I don’t want any games lost to time.
When the JP update lands it’ll probably be at least 3 of these games.Huh, so, uh…no update for Japan, I guess? Interesting. I would’ve at least expected them to get The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls, but nope. Weird!
Japan already has all of these games except Quest for Camelot, which they probably won’t get considering it was never released there in the first place.When the JP update lands it’ll probably be at least 3 of these games.
I dont think they get any games as the famicom app updated with nothing and the others didnt get patched.Maybe luigiblood can dig into that update and see if it’s hiding somethingWhen the JP update lands it’ll probably be at least 3 of these games.
Also, what would be awesome going forward is if we can get a regular cadence going. The 3 base tier apps/systems getting a drop, followed by N64/GBA, followed by Genesis, approx 10 days apart for each drop. Rinse and repeat each months. It feels like NSO updates are really spread out right now and it’s feel better if there was a reliable schedule.
Basically only to update The Tower of Babel (Mystery Tower) box art with the newer name (it was just "Babel" originally).Interestingly, the Famicom NSO app got an update alongside the NES NSO app, but it didn’t get any new games… The Japanese Game Boy and Super Famicom apps didn’t get updates, though.

I would guess whenever Goldeneye got added. Aren't they still waiting to get that on the Japanese version of the app?When was the last time there was a Nintendo Switch Online update only for the non-Japanese apps? Or is this the first time it’s happened…? I can’t remember.
Oh yeah, that’s true; I wasn’t thinking about that. I kinda meant the non-N64 updates that aren’t announced in advance like today’s update.I would guess whenever Goldeneye got added. Aren't they still waiting to get that on the Japanese version of the app?
For some weird reason the Gameboy NSO app details page for Quest of Camelot doesn't list any publisher.
It lists “Nintendo” as the publisher for me…For some weird reason the Gameboy NSO app details page for Quest of Camelot doesn't list any publisher.
Yeah you're right i must have missed it before for some reason.It lists “Nintendo” as the publisher for me…
Well, Nintendo was the original publisher, but it is kinda weird that they’d still be the publisher on NSO considering they don’t actually own the IP and I don’t believe they own the game at all either… Like, Banjo-Kazooie doesn’t list Nintendo as the publisher on NSO despite them being the original publisher, and I believe there are other examples that are escaping me at the moment, so yeah, I’m not really sure why Nintendo is the publisher of this release.Yeah you're right i must have missed it before for some reason.
Interesting that Nintendo is bieng listed as the publisher though. Suggests that maybe this got on NSO due to somehow having no license holder?
I actually think it's amazing that Nintendo is willing to add shitty games to the list. Bad games deserve love too.Quest For Camelot? Who found that buried in cobwebs and thought it was worth preserving?
I definitely want to see a longer term regular cadence stick around. There have been stretches of consistency, like the monthly NES updates to start, then huge stretches of inconsistency when the SNES appeared. Then a period of monthly updates for N64, followed by more inconsistency.When the JP update lands it’ll probably be at least 3 of these games.

It feels like NSO updates are really spread out right now and it’s feel better if there was a reliable schedule.
When SNES appeared, there were less updates at a time, but they were actually fairly consistent for ~2 years where the main updates were all in the same months (September, December, February, May, July). If anything, after N64 and Genesis, up to now is where NSO is the least consistent and makes really no sense (and this update does not even help, it's only for NA/EU/KR).I definitely want to see a longer term regular cadence stick around.

Cumulatively, across both tiers, this year has probably been the most regular in terms of updates, but no single part of the service has been consistent, if that makes sense.
This has dropped early in the month, though, and we should at least be due for Mega Drive. I'd guess GBA gets an update, given that was last updated in June.
Right. What I mean is, some part of the service is updated regularly, but there's very little consistency i.e. we're getting updates every few weeks, but who knows which system it's for. Going backwards:When SNES appeared, there were less updates at a time, but they were actually fairly consistent for ~2 years where the main updates were all in the same months (September, December, February, May, July).

For real, those first two Hamtaro games are great.Nintendo, where is Hamtaro?
Absolutely not, it's a completely different kind of matching where identical animal blocks are linked together with stars.Is the Kirby game just a Panel de Pon skin?
No, star stackers gimmick is that 2 of Kirby's animal friends clear if they are touching OR if they have nothing inbetween them but connected star blocks. So if you got 2 blocks that were Rick and a star you could do thisIs the Kirby game just a Panel de Pon skin?
Ah, digging a little seems you're right, they basically patch at runtime (translation, bugfixes, etc) and people haven't found anything but the original JP/NA roms in the Kunio collection.I think those are doing the localization via scripting in the emulators. Something NSO likely won’t ever do.
Exactly my thought. Now let’s see if we get Carmageddon 64 by the end of the month.So Nintendo's willing to add a critically panned WB licensed, Tidus developed game, eh?
Let's fucking go
Everyone joking about licensed games now on the menu, but for real
Gib pls
Get that sweet, crunchy, 16-bit Go Go Power Rangers! theme song blasting at full volumeWe get that game and I will lose my shit.
for some inexplicable reason Rockstar thought this was going to be their big IP for several years, with multiple projects planned such as a racing game and two further mini-game collections on the Game Boy Color.From here on out NSO is exclusively going to get shovelware based on Warner Brothers IPs and nothing else.
that would be part of the same deal which spawned the classic Goldeneye N64 game, but the only issue is that Rare didn't develop it. Saffire (who no longer exists) did.If we're talking licensed GB games, I would love to see the James Bond game that I used to have as a kid. It was basically like Zelda but with levels, and I have fond memories of it.
OOTL, is this a new asset they made or they just swapped for a redone box art that already existed?Basically only to update The Tower of Babel (Mystery Tower) box art with the newer name (it was just "Babel" originally).
