C'mon Nintendo, there are far more quality SNES than those (and I'm not just talking about Super Mario RPG or EarthBound).

And why no NES?

Probably the worst round of Switch Online games thus far. I can't really think of anything really positive to say other than I don't believe these have been given re-releases before to my knowledge. Jelly Boy might be the first truly bad game we've gotten IMO, and everything else is pretty average at best here.

I can't really complain as it doesn't change the $20 I've already spent for the year, most of the best games are already there, and I genuinely enjoy the service, but I am especially bummed there's nothing for the NES this month. I've been putting in a lot of hours into it over the past two months. SNES's library I find to have a fairly underwhelming ratio of good to bad to average.

Also if you're paying for Jelly Boy, could you at least pay Game Freak to get Jerry Boy re-released already?

Just emulate Earthbound at this point lol.

So I just watched Space Jam 2.

Other than some meh acting from Lebron James and some bits here and there, this is probably the most fun movie I've seen that actually was really emotional at the end. It sucks that the thing that requires the sadness came out of nowhere, but it was a fantastic movie.

9.5/10

I was laughing at the ending out of pure heartlessness…Lola was a highlight

Nintendo didn't release an NES game this month because all they had planned was EarthBound Beginnings and the executives told them no.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm thinking about making a Japanese Switch account.

Any perks?

Considering it's been readily available for the past 8 years, I'd prefer it if they went ahead and did it that way already so we don't have to listen to complaints anymore.

Honestly getting that off the Wii U should be the higher priority IMO. lol

But yeah, I really wonder just how hard it is to get permission from Itoi sometimes. Or HAL or Game Freak while we're at it for non-Kirby/Pokemon stuff.

You get to buy foreign games without import fees.

You'll get access to the Famicom/Super Famicom games from NSO with a little more variety in game selection

Alright, I watched the first episode of Spongebob and I have to say... it was pretty good. My personal favorite segment was the one where Spongebob tries to use a Reef Blower on the lawn. Reminded me of a old silent movie.

Wait, have you never watched Spongebob before?

Somehow I’m incredulous it took this long, but that Nick game really got me goin.
And yes, prior to tonight I never saw the show.

Is that still possible? I thought Nintendo patched that out a few months after launch?

I guess though most of the exclusives are JRPGs. If you don't know Japanese or have played enough Fire Emblem to know it inside/out, there's not too much we're missing out on. Joy Mech Fight is the only really big one that comes to mind.

Disk System versions of Zelda, Metroid, and Kid Icarus might be amusing though. Just skip Zelda 2 as the international version is better balanced.

Although, the Japanese version of Zelda 2 doesn't have the enemies that take your EXP and doesn't require you to kill Tektites with fireballs.

Having not grown up with cable, I relate with Sneaky and say I've only seen a handful of SpongeBob episodes.

Funnily enough, I distinctly remember catching a certain episode twice. It was the one where SpomgeBob made a friend out of bubbles (Think they called him Bubble Buddy?) and everyone else is annoyed with it and attempt to pop it or whatever. Don't know how I managed to catch that one twice, especially given the two viewings were years apart but I did, lol.

New Nintendo Gigaleak info. More in twitter thread.

There's been a new Nintendo leak from the "Gigaleak lot" of files from last year. The leak contains source code to a Wii Service program (an upgraded version of GameCube Service Disc), and some documentation for various systems including the Nintendo Switch.

Well the Olympic Games are now underway in Tokyo.....and I am NOT happy about it and as a lifelong Olympic fan that's something I thought I would never say about the Olympics, but with this horrible pandemic both the Olympics and Euros should have been scrapped....if only UEFA and the IOC weren't selfish greedy clowns, and I'm supposed to like clowns, but these dumbasses....maybe I better stop before I really have a meltdown...
