Not happy with one GBA game a month, but Fusion is great! Colors look horrible in NSO sadly.
Metroid NES is already on NSO

Cool! Haven’t played this game since the eighth grade

Not a bad first update at all, even if it is a shame to be getting one game per system again with GBA.

for anyone who will be playing this for the first time:
good luck with nightmare

Anti oof
gone with the one that sold better. zm sold like half of fusion. Also it makes sense to release fusion now to catch the MPR train (just like fusion did in 2002 too)

Metroid Prime 4 is coming out soon, isn't it?
Mr Doggo
Anti oof
if soon is 2024 then yes >: )

This means the zelda oracle games will be the first new games to drop for Gameboy NSO since like fusion those were the first shown upcoming games

They might be going with the order they were released, but I do agree it would have been nice to get Zero Mission first.

I knew I'd get a response like this. 12 months is soon!if soon is 2024 then yes >

One of the best in the series.

Except it isn’t any good to play when you have the GOAT Metroid game available. I think Fusion first makes sense with it coming out along with Metroid Prime.

Hell yes!Time to see if MVG's wish about Prime Remastered recognizing Fusion save data in NSO will come true

Rewind function will be a godsend lol. I played my ambassador copy for the badge challenge. Lots of death

Yeah. We should be getting at minimum one N64 game a month, one GBA game a month, 2 GB games, and a random NES and SNES game (if they don’t want to get SMRPG or their other release out). Plus Sega should drop 3-4 games a month too.
Eh, I still think Zero Mission would be good enough to play for people who haven't tried it before.

every mainline entry in the 2D series is now available on Switch, be still my heart

Love this game so so much, I hope new fans will give it a try.

Aww you're right, could you imagine that dual simultaneous shadow drop. My heart wouldn't have been able to take it.

- he/him
very curious about this
didn't realize it required Prime to be beaten back in the day too, so if so them adding this after release would make sense

Prolly because Fusion's the fully original of the two, being the 4th chronological mainline Metroid, so it has priority/seniority over ZM, which is probably held back by its remake status.
Nintendo's done this before, Fusion was chosen over ZM for the 3DS Ambassador GBA games list and then ZM took until early 2016 to get re-released on Wii U. So buckle up.
Fire Emblem in May!?

Damn, that's a pretty good trailer!
Hopefully we will still get a N64 games this month, or at least a GBC game.
Fusion was the only Metroid chapter missing on the Switch, and it also happens to be the most critical for understanding Dread, so it makes sense they would get it out first. It's actually 1,5 year late, but oh well.

To be honest. I thought 1 game per month was expected lol.
I saw no reason to increase drops when how little they showed upcoming.

Hell YES more Metroid

There is already a version of Metroid 1 on NSO
There is no version of Metroid 4 on NSO
Fusion released before Zero Mission
Fusion sold better then Zero Mission
I'm more surprised you thought they'd skip Fusion for Zero Mission. Now they can say Metroid 1-5 are on Switch. First time ever the entire saga is on one device.

My first Metroid game, and the one that made me fall in love with the series as a kid, all those years ago. Awesome to see it finally offered on Switch. 
(No way I'm paying for NSO EP to play an old ROM tho
I still have my original GBA cartridge)

One GBA game per month means they will take years to have a comprehensive catalogue available. The GBA has too many essential games. Imagine when they start putting out the Super Mario Advances one a month, which are all games that are already available on NSO, ugh, that will feel glacial. Hopefully they will do all three together.
Even then, I could live with only 12 GBA games a month, but if they alternate with N64 and we get less than 1 per month, then that's just ridiculous. I really hope they will keep the GBA flow steady and just drop N64 on top of it from time to time.

Glad you crossed the incorrect one off the list.

Gonna be hella lame if they're seriously going with 1 GBA game per month. If they're really doing that, then I'm guessing the next one will be Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade since its 20th anniversary is next month, might as well dump it at that time.
