I'm just happy that Nintendo gave a spotlight to some hidden gems, they knew that NES and SNES is a classic console packed with games that overshadowed each other. Don't know why people mad about that but what I see is mostly SMRPG and Earthbound fans.
Waiting for N64, GBA, and GCN NSO be like:
And apparently, this is the first time it's getting released in English. It was supposed to come out back in the day, but the publisher got bought by Sega, so that never happened.
Especially considering that none of the Earthbound games are on there.Nintendo searching for the most obscure titles possible to add to NSO instead of the ones fans are asking for.
)
Mega Man X, Zero and Tron Bonne. Alternatively, Chun-Li, M.Bison and Alex.
Continued selections like this to me further reinforce the idea that Nintendo is having some real trouble landing the big guns and their more prestigious titles with whatever deal they're proposing that offers them for, basically, free.
Waiting for N64, GBA, and GCN NSO be like:
At this point I seriously think that Nintendo just forgot that they made Earthbound begining and Earthbound. Normally when they update the Nes and Snes games they have at least one pretty popular games like the last few times was dkc, dkc 2 and dkc 3, but this time there really is nothing. It's a shame because now that that they're just adding more obscure games, I really think Earthbound will never come.
Waiting for N64, GBA, and GCN NSO be like:
Skull Kid, Masked Link, and Vaati (but only if he gets lots of wind powers; otherwise, Impa)
Which the west somehow got before Japan, despite being a Japan exclusive.
I mean, shouldn't that have been the case when some other companies like Konami, Square and Capcom were selling their games as collections? Like the fact that they were selling some of their games as collections for the Switch rather than putting them on the NSO Online should've showed that getting other companies on board with NSO Online wasn't going to be easy.
I think it's the opposite. I think Nintendo knows that the Earthbound titles hold a special cache that the other retro games don't, and aren't going to drop them randomly like the others. I think when they show up, they will be used strategically as leverage either to entice or to alleviate or whatever the situation calls for.
Ninten, Giygas, and Porky.
For Japan they added Shin Megami Tensei II. It would be nice to get that one but I guess Atlus doesn't care enough to translate an old game just for a subscription service.
We have all the classic PS1/PS2 Final Fantasies available on Switch (aside from the online one) yet none of the Final Fantasies that initially released on the Famicom/NES or Super Famicom/SNES.
Yeah, which is ironic if you ask me.
That reminds me that one of the people at Square Enix (can't remember who) expressed interest in giving one of the SNES FF games the FF7R treatment. Can't remember which one, but I think it was either 4 or 6...
Yeah, if they are on Steam and Android, they might not have subscriptions for Nintendo ports. Same reason the NES and SNES titles for Mega Man, Contra, Castlevania and Street Fighter aren't likely to get added as well, given the recent re-releases for them.
That was Kitase, producer of FFVII Remake. He said the team also wanted to remake FFVI, but obviously that doesn't mean it will happen. If it ever happens it will be after FFVII Remake project ends.
It's something to keep note of, at least. Though admittedly, I know next to nothing about 99% of FF games, so who am I to say?
Hey, I've been thinking about Neku in Smash, too! That's a funny coincidence. What do you think his moveset would be if he got in.
It's not the presence of obscure stuff that weakens the selection, it's the continued lack of balance. The more games the better, and there is always a place for less prominent games to find a crowd. Which especially helps when they're (sort of) free. It's just that the overall selection is incredibly weak in another important tentpole, being widely beloved third-party games of that era. Of which, given this is the peak era of third-party Nintendo support, there are many.
I mean, it's missing a lot more than just Earthbound and SMRPG. That's just stuff from one already well-represented company.
I'm not sure what Nintendo thought their endgame would be with the selection provided with this service. Either they knew since the outset that they wouldn't be able to court the bigger names, and would suffice on the draw of their own content, which they've done before, or they, for some reason, thought third-parties would eventually come around, which seems naive, and probably isn't the case (unless they figured they'd eventually offer them a better price).
Oh yeah, it’s certainly missing a lot more. I just didn’t feel like writing out the whole laundry list of potential games.
Hmm. And since Fire Emblem wasn't released on the service...
Nintendo vs Capcom sounds beyond ****ing awesome! Idky this hasn't been a thing yet.
I agree, it would be nice if we did get more notable, big releases.
I have lots of series I want 2 characters from(Arthur/Firebrand, Kiryu/Majima, Jill/Wesker, Zero/Sigma, Dante/Vergil), but I can't think of a series I actually want 3 characters from.
Release them SNES Quintet games, dammit!
Frisk, Papyrus, and Undyne.
Bandana Dee, Adeleine and Ribbon, Dark Matter
doubt we're seeing another Marvel one after.... basically everything involving the MCU so probably a Capcom only fighting game or maybe a crossover with Konomi or something is a possibility.
