I wonder if the release of SNES games onto the service will encourage the haters to park their outrage for a while?

Nah... Doubt it....

Personally it would make a huge difference to how I view the service. Especially as ive never had a snes and never bothered with vc on Wii.

I was just joshing.
Tbh it's the SNES stuff where the format really shone for this gamer back in the day.
While I had a Gameboy before that and it was, and still is, marvellous, the NES never grabbed me at the time with far better content on the Amiga, and they translated well as early Megadrive games.
I mean, you think the ports have come thick and fast on the Switch, try being an Amiga owner investing in a Megadrive!
But I think any N64 games will disappoint, they rarely work in modern times, with a handful of exceptions.
Please though, let a Mario Sunshine HD be in the plans!

I was a mega drive owner back in the 16 bit days. Only ever had a snes on rental from extra vision a few times. It was just an amazing piece of kit. The novelty factor of sf2 on it was class having only played in arcade before. I'm really looking forward to the snes games appearing on switch.

CiDeRmAn · 14-01-2019 10:02am

The MD shone with Shmups, such as Thunderforce III and IV, which still shine as standards today.
The Snes seemed to master pretty much everything else.

When are we getting n64 games like ive played super mario world already man

I'm actually looking forward to see if they do SP versions of snes games.
Think we could see an official version of BS Zelda or F Zero games in the west.

No harm, given how important this feature is to all modern gaming devices.
Kinda surprising that it wasn't in place already!
I mean, they probably still have a Hanafuda Manager on staff!

I may be losing my marbles, I'm not sure if I posted this a few days ago.

Edit: No, I didn't post it before.

Weird decision. Is that not an admission that "We know you're only going to spend 5 minutes playing the game, so it might as well be the best 5 minutes..."?

The main thing stopping me from playing is the stupid control layout in handheld mode. The buttons are in the wrong places and no remapping is available yet!

I predict a new SNES app.

A reasonable suggestion - what d'ya think are the odds of it dropping tonight during the Direct?

iamtony · 14-02-2019 10:56pm

Tetris is sooo addictive..... Great game though.

Aye, a shame! Hard to be disappointed after that though, great Direct, Tetris 99 is great fun!

Yeah it's great. I'm level 19 and the second I start a game I'm targeted by loads of people, that's a bit head wrecking though. I've come 6th that's the best I've done. But the last hour I'm lucky to get into the top 50 because of the system.

Level 20 now its impossible to keep it Down:mad:

Andrew76 · 15-02-2019 12:18am

Signed up to the free trial just to try out Tetris, pretty good actually. Only level 8 but highest finish is 3rd so far.

Quick question: if I buy a Nintendo Switch Online subscription code from a UK site e.g. Simply Games, will the code work on my Irish Nintendo account?

Star Lord · 15-02-2019 4:59pm

Don't know for sure, but I think so. Have bought online memberships from these guys before, and they haven't failed to deliver yet.

12 month membership for €17

(Seems to be the same site/people as press-start.com, which is widely recommended in the PS/XBOX forums)

manual_man · 19-02-2019 1:24am

What's the cheapest e-shop to subscribe to Nintendo Online on? Or do you have to subscribe on the Irish e-shop?

SA when I signed up. But if you sign up for the annual sub you'll have to turn off the automatic renewal if you hop between countries buying titles with the one account.

You mean you have to turn off the auto renewal EVERY time you switch to another country?

Grassey · 20-02-2019 8:30pm

Well no. You have to turn it off the first time, if you don't re-enable it then you don't need to worry about it...

... I assume they will notify me in the run up to the year anniversary...

... Though if you keep reenabling it, then yes I'd guess you'd have to disable it each country hop

Nollog · 25-02-2019 11:11pm

I joined someone's family over the weekend, Tetris 99 is pretty damn good.

Can the family account be used over multiple switches? I thought it was only different users on the one switch.

Mr E · 26-02-2019 12:59pm

No, multiple Switches. My brother and my nephew are on my family account (3 switches in total).
