I can't remember if we ever got Genesis games the same week as N64 before? I'm guessing no.
They’ve often been within a few days of N64, so maybe we get a batch next Tuesday?I can't remember if we ever got Genesis games the same week as N64 before? I'm guessing no.
Is this the quickest expansion pack turnaround? Three days from announcement? They’re usually a week in advance

I'm curious why you think it's Golden Sun over F Zero? Did you forget it like everyone else? Lol it's okay I think everyone forgot after F Zero 99 dropped. Although I guess it is a good reason to think Golden Sun will release first because of 99.So rest of the year for the expansion pack is looking like 1080, Golden Sun, and whatever Genesis update we can get. I'm hoping that we can get both games out by the end of the year. Make 2024 a clean slate. I think we will also get one more NES/SNES/GB update
You are right. Genesis updates are normally shadow drops, but N64 and GBA games generally have a week's notice. The two exceptions were Mario Party 1/2 (two week notice) and Pokemon Stadium 2 (shadow drop during a Pokemon Direct).
While Nintendo normally says screw patterns, traditionally we have gotten a Genesis update the week after an N64/GBA update so going by that, we should get one next Thursday/Friday, November 2nd.
I will say that I thought we were going to get it after Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, but nope.

Nah, I'm with you there; I have very little nostalgia for the N64 so these updates do nothing for me. On the other hand one of my older cousins was a big Sega fan back in the day so I have fond memories of playing many Sega titles.I’m definitely in the minority here but I vastly prefer Genesis/Mega Drive updates to N64 updates lol
Hopefully we see some Sega love soon!
And Goldeneye 64 for JP N64.So 1080 Snowboarding and Golden Sun are all that’s left on the roadmap right? And Harvest Moon for JP N64
FYI JP update confirms harvest moon, 1080 and Golden eye are all coming to Japan this year. A new roadmap when 1080 drops would not surpriseCould see something like
Nov - F-Zero GBA
Dec - 1080 N64
Jan - Golden Sun GBA
Feb - Harvest Moon N64
With a Feb direct giving us an updated road map for 2024.
I was focused on US with that, Japan could get HM64 this year and Goldeneye February when we get HM64.FYI JP update confirms harvest moon, 1080 and Golden eye are all coming to Japan this year. A new roadmap when 1080 drops would not surprise

This also pisses me off lol. The N64 app was nowhere close to being in a good state to launch yet they pooped it out in 2021 anyhow even though game boy would have been much easier. They fixed most of the games finally but F-Zero X still having the fucking fps issue is inexcusable in 2023Can't wait for the update to come along and for F-Zero X's framerate issues to still not be fixed.
Also I know probably nobody else cares, but I hope they add the "reproduce classic feel" option like the GB/GBA NSO apps have, to make it so games are their original 240p resolution and maybe with a CRT filter. Never liked how 2D assets looked in N64 emulators when upscaled, the filtering makes it so there's visible seams, but playing it in low res hides that.
Also, per game button mapping would be nice but I've given up on getting something WiiU VC had at this point.
Rare is onboard. Smash, DK64 and DKR are all on the table still. They could get Konami on board for a wavea roadmap of what exactly
The viable N64 game list is microscopic after his wave drops unless they manage to get rare on board. Me thinks it’ll be purely GBA for EP until Switch 2 unless they maybe throw in smash or dk

Like
God
Just makes me hate the switch’s hardware more lmao, even though this is less due to the hardware being weak and more because the stupid NSO menu system they used will cause hitches on X for whatever reason/iQue sucks ass
Should have been NERD, man… Their GB app is so good outside of the multiplayer being non functional for s good few months now

For what it’s worth: They started adding PC-Engine games to Wii U’s VC after the Switch was out.I'm really curious with how Nintendo handles the NSO in the Feb Direct. The next system will be around the corner so I'm willing to bet the house that the last thing Nintendo has planned is another NSO app/library to start up. We could get a roadmap of more GBA/64 games, but I don't think it is a certainty.
Right now, I'm preparing the mindset that 2024 will be a lighter year for NSO updates as Nintendo is working to move everything over to the Switch 2 for day 1. Wishful thinking? I hope not.
I mean it's probably gonna continue on the next console...unless you expect them to start all over againI'm really curious with how Nintendo handles the NSO in the Feb Direct.

As pessimistic as it may sound, Nintendo has yet to prove they can carry legacy retro content forward in a console transition, given they still haven't been able to do so between Wii, Wii U and 3DS. I will not hold my breath until it's confirmed officially.I mean it's probably gonna continue on the next console...unless you expect them to start all over again
It’s perfect. They can release the dozens of Japan only games 2 years into the switch 2 life but will seemingly be able to play them in the new system and not the old one. Lots of fun games too! Finally just start with the mini console releases and add those now.For what it’s worth: They started adding PC-Engine games to Wii U’s VC after the Switch was out.
so I’m thinking PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 games are coming next year lmao
Hi Brofield, it’s me, your friend Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo of America. The NSO apps will work on the new console.As pessimistic as it may sound, Nintendo has yet to prove they can carry legacy retro content forward in a console transition, given they still haven't been able to do so between Wii, Wii U and 3DS.

Ideally NSO should continue on Switch 2 as it is on Switch 1.I'm really curious with how Nintendo handles the NSO in the Feb Direct.

I think we will just get more GBA/N64 games announced. It wouldn't surprise me if even on the next platform that they use more exclusives like F-Zero 99 to drive subscriptions over retro games.I'm really curious with how Nintendo handles the NSO in the Feb Direct.

The Original datamine put us at 39 games for the N64. The North American app currently has 25 with Mario Party 3 and 1080 on the way. There is room for more, not a ton though.I mean I know datamines are never a sure thing release wise but didn't the datamine before Nintendo patched it out say 40 something N64 games and 60 something Genesis games? I'd be surprised if we get almost nothing for N64 after 1080
Agreed. They will just continue it on IMO and release them on both systems through a tied account. So basically NSO works on all platforms. It’s easy $20-50 for years if they do it that way. But also, NintendoI doubt Nintendo will start over on the next system. That would lead to a lot of people canceling their subs. Or just playing the games on Switch instead of the next thing. Why would they make Switch a better place for classic games than the next thing? Why would anyone on the next thing give a shit if they could just play the games on Switch? There’s nothing for Nintendo to even gain since they can’t charge people again. The whole situation is just different from before imo.
Is it known if that Datamine was for a US/PAL list or if it was meant to include JP only NSO games as well?The Original datamine put us at 39 games for the N64. The North American app currently has 25 with Mario Party 3 and 1080 on the way. There is room for more, not a ton though.
You can rule out Wipeout 64 because that series is owned by Sony now, my bet is on Worms Armageddon, there's a couple Infogrames games on SNES NSO and it'd be a good multiplayer game to have.I have no goddamn idea what #35 could be. No first party title (or even Nintendo published third party title) fits that list. Only games that would even fit there that wouldn't be a licensing nightmare are
- Wipeout 64
- World Driver Championship
- The World is Not Enough (Would require that nintendo got a deal for this around the same time they worked out the Goldeneye 64 licensing deal)
- Worms Armageddon
It could happen, just not anytime soon; Link's Awakening came out on NSO (with the Game Boy app itself) a couple of years after the remake.just my $0.02 but I think Super Mario RPG has a decent shot of getting released on NSO considering Link’s Awakening did.
Not really. The main reason is wasnt on NSO already is because Square Enix was asking more for the licensing fee than nintendo was willing to pay, likely part of the reason nintendo opted to make the remake in the first place.just my $0.02 but I think Super Mario RPG has a decent shot of getting released on NSO considering Link’s Awakening did.
I will believe any lineup that has Golden Sun last of the western slated games. Because of all the confirmed games, of course Golden Sun would be last.Could see something like
Nov - F-Zero GBA
Dec - 1080 N64
Jan - Golden Sun GBA
Feb - Harvest Moon N64

LA isn't legally complicated. Given there's a remake, I don't think Nintendo is going to go to the effort of appeasing Square for SMRPG.just my $0.02 but I think Super Mario RPG has a decent shot of getting released on NSO considering Link’s Awakening did.
I may be misremembering, but wasn't it already confirmed that the retro NSO library was sort of being treated like its own platform, which would carry from system to system?I doubt Nintendo will start over on the next system. That would lead to a lot of people canceling their subs. Or just playing the games on Switch instead of the next thing.

Like backwards compatibility, until it's officially confirmed and shown I assume nothing, no matter how much intention Nintendo has shown.I will believe any lineup that has Golden Sun last of the western slated games. Because of all the confirmed games, of course Golden Sun would be last.

Or am I conflating it with them just taking about the NSO as a whole?
You’re probably right because that definitely tracks when it comes to Square EnixNot really.

Here’s another thing to consider, if NSO is just continuing and will be on switch 2 in the same form, then value will need to keep being added. And a new GBA and N64 roadmaps make way too much sense. Especially if they start pulling third party gems for the latter

I'll also guess #4 would be Blast Corps, it was negotiated for 3 years ago along with Banjo-Kazooie and credited to Microsoft... for WiiU Virtual Console apparently but, yknow.
It's unlikely to change much. The NSO apps are made in a very hardware agnostic way.I'm really curious with how Nintendo handles the NSO in the Feb Direct.
