three games that already exist in some form on the service already (twice in the case of SMB2) so it's not all that excitingThree games in one drop? Alrighty then.

nice to have them for completion's sake, but they're still largely the same games as before in all cases
but Mario doesn't say "let's go!"Sort of a dud since you can play the better versions with just a standard sub, but nice to have
Needs more Toad screams for the full effectQuite the sudden announcement to make
One of them has already been re-release twice on the service.So the new GBA games on NSO are ports of games that are already on NSO...yay?
the version on the Wii U VC (that also got added to NSO) just has them unlocked from the start, which makes it totally fine for the serviceThe new levels in Mario Advance 3 are great so those are worth playing if you haven't already (gotta beat the game to unlock them tho). But I agree outside of some novelties there isn't a ton to check out on the other two versions. At least they're out of the way now.
I hope we're still getting Game Boy games this month.
Think Nintendo is alternating between N64 and GBA each month so N64 should be next month.Was hoping for Mario party 3! Wonder if we’ll get some Gameboy games soon too. Also I like these ports, the QOL tracking additions are great, not to mention Mario bros mode. These are the versions I grew up with(and DKC GBC xd)
They timed a Gameboy drop with the last one so I expect it again here
Advance 3 is Yoshi's Island, that's the game I was referring to. Advance 4 is SMB3.the version on the Wii U VC (that also got added to NSO) just has them unlocked from the start, which makes it totally fine for the service
the other 3 take a lot more work to get to their new content, what little there is
i just saw 3 and assumed you were talking about that one, fair enoughAdvance 3 is Yoshi's Island, that's the game I was referring to. Advance 4 is SMB3.
How could I forget he voice acting. Toad alone makes Mario Advance the best versionbut Mario doesn't say "let's go!"
It's timeThink Nintendo is alternating between N64 and GBA each month so N64 should be next month.
Oh god I didn't even think about Twisted, we need that so much that game is stupidly expensive and doesn't even exist in Europe (I'm not European but just like access wise). It wasn't on Wii U VC but there's been a lot more use of gyro on switch vs wii u + joycon spinning feels more natural fit vs GBA so I'm hopingOn one hand, I'm glad that them releasing 3 games this month means that on average they still are adding at least one GBA per month.
But the games that I'd be more excited to see on gameboy advance NSO are the ones that are a pain in the ass to try and emulate on PC: Warioware Twisted and Yoshi Topsy Turvy. Really hope to see those on NSO eventually.
mGBA supports gyro controls, both as stand-alone and part of the Retroarch core. I haven't tried it myself, but if you connect a Joycon, you should be able to play them (and Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble too).On one hand, I'm glad that them releasing 3 games this month means that on average they still are adding at least one GBA per month.

There's also romhacks out there that map the gyro controls for those games which is nice for emulation on devices like the miyoo mini.mGBA supports gyro controls, both as stand-alone and part of the Retroarch core.

i've kinda speculated that tilt and tumble and twisted will work docked by actually rotating and skewing the visual on-screen so that you're not left guessing, maybe even with a GBC/GBA borderI'm pretty confident that Twisted will come at some point, given other motion games being shown, but it will play a little weird as some games visually assumed you were actually holding the screen upside down or sideways. I guess handheld will work, but it will be goofy on the TV!

seems easy enough to make work, but i don't really know the capabilities of the NSO emulator to do anything other than wildly speculate
There's also, famously, a Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble romhack to be used with the gyro-removal patch, which just renames the game Kirby 'n, since you don't Tilt and you surely don't Tumble anymore.There's also romhacks out there that map the gyro controls for those games which is nice for emulation on devices like the miyoo mini.
Don't make it weirdcalling it advance 3 rather than YI feels like bootlicking ijs
