Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.
NSO There’s an issue with the NES & N64 Nintendo Switch Online apps—namely “Earthbound Beginnings” & “Banjo Kazooie” UPDATE: EarthBound Beginnings fixed!!

Hmm... maybe contacting Microsoft will speed this process? Minecraft Steve's "meat" in Smash Ultimate was quickly fixed when someone showed to Phil Spencer lol
Maybe it's because Microsoft has to be contacted they have yet to correct the typo on the title.

I thought of that potentially being the reason for the holdup, yeah… Not sure what the best way to go about that would be, though. And I’m not gonna tweet at Phil Spencer myself, lol.

I was looking at some friends online and saw this...
why it's written in all lower case? WHO'S THE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!

The box art and title screen logo for RE4 are all lowercase, so this is technically correct.I was looking at some friends online and saw this...

Yeah, I assume that’s just the way it’s officially stylized, like nintendogs.

So they should've named "4 resident evil" if consistency is so important >:T

There is one other Switch game I’m aware of that I believe genuinely does have a title error, though. And, of course, it’s a Capcom game—“MEGAMAN™ ZERO/ZX LEGACY COLLECTION”, as it’s listed on the HOME Menu. “Mega Man” shouldn’t be one word in this case. In fact, it’s spelled correctly on the eShop page! https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/mega-man-zero-zx-legacy-collection-switch/

That’s kinda out of my comfort zone, personally, but anyone else here is welcome to help out if they want. =P I have been submitting feedback about it via the NSO app periodically, at least.

Slightly related but i just noticed in the NES app at some point Fire 'N Ice got a boxart update (sans the addiction warning label) replacing the previous title screen icon.
I hope they do the same for Alien Solider on Genesis. I don't mind title screens (and that might be a nice option to switch to) but the inconsistency bothers me next to boxarts.

It was fixed the next update after it was added (May 2021; added in February 2021). Funnily enough, the 2019 NES NSO build that leaked back in April was using the original box art with the warning label, so this is clearly something they changed their minds on a few times.
Frankly my preferred option would just be using the title screens, for perfect consistent dimensions. Even better if they add an option to hide the SP games in the NES and SNES apps like how you can hide the PAL versions in N64. The title screen images are already saved in the app for use in the details screens; it couldn’t be too hard to make a flag that swaps the image loaded to those. Would be nice if they just made custom box art for the few games that stand out too; there’s already a few in there with custom box art (Sin & Punishment, EarthBound Beginnings).
For Alien Soldier there shouldn’t even be an issue though; they can use the PAL Mega Drive box art no problem. In fact, being stuck with Genesis box art in an app with Mega Drive branding over here is one of the main reasons why i’d rather just use the title screens as the icons.

Maybe they’re thinking “Well, we’ll fix it with Banjo-Tooie’s release. Why go back and add the hyphens now when we can do both at the same time?” It’s Nintendo instilling the “Work smart, not hard” mentality to their employees.
Maybe they lost Phil Spencer‘s number or the red tape to send a mail asking M$ for their input is ridiculous.

More than a year later and Banjo-Kazooie’s title still hasn’t been fixed, unfortunately…
They won’t update the N64 NSO app to fix a typo in a game’s title, but they will update the Game Boy NSO app to change…this:
And, like, I get it. The change probably came at the request of HAL, who seem to not want to describe Rick, Kine, and Coo as being literally those animals anymore (which makes sense for a number of reasons, so I understand that). Okay, fine, that’s just consistent brand management there. But you’d think, if they care about having something like that be corrected, that surely they’d fix a typo in a game’s title of all things, right?! Yet here we are…
I’m guessing nothing’s going to change unless Microsoft/Rare specifically requests it at this point. Someone needs to bug Phil Spencer or someone else prominent from Xbox and/or Rare about this. =P

It’s right there in the logo!
Well, technically the logo is stylized with two hyphens to make it look more aesthetically pleasing with how the two names are oriented, but in plain text it’s always been officially written as “Banjo-Kazooie” with a single hyphen.

Probably for the same reason King Dedede isn’t actually a penguin, I guess? They’re creatures of Popstar—ones that can use Copy Abilities alongside Kirby, at that.

Since it's on both words I always assumed it was some kind of stylizing.It’s right there in the logo!
