Thanks, no ki gold and no golden eye confirms for me no buy.
That's a prediction, it's not any sort of confirmed final list.
Golden eye is probably the longest of long shots as far as notable N64 games go.
I mean i can understand that goldene eye could be an issue of activision is also involved? But thats sure not the case with ki gold. The perfect game for online multiplay.
38 games sounds as something expected, not counting licensed games and if they don't add Mario Party or Pokémon Stadium, there are only like 25 Nintendo games for the N64 that can be added, and since a lot of the N64 third party line up has some kind of licensed element or is owned by companies like EA, Activision or Ubisoft, it's likely we'll see stuff like some Konami and Hudson games and some random stuff like Glover, plus more Rare games I guess.
I don't understand why Nintendo have never brought Pilotwings 64 to a VC service. It's their IP
It's their IP; but it isn't entirely their game.
This is one of my most wanted games on the service - it's probably not gonna happen but it would be cool for sure!
Has anyone had an issue where either the Mega drive or SNES app icons display the wrong region to what your account is supposed to be?
My account is U.K./European, but the Sega MD icon displays the Genesis version, and the Snes displays the US control pad instead of the European one. It's not the worst deal.. but, it's irritating NGL

D'aww 😁 So glad to hear someone enjoying Musha for the first time, that was such a gem for them to include.
Honestly it's a superb if small starting line up for the Mega Drive/Genesis, and it sounds like it's the best MD/Gen emulation on Switch. I do get folks pointing to the Mega Drive Collection as an alternative value wise but this does seem leagues better than that, though I wish we could have the fast forward feature from that here.
Oh my lord 🥰
Still an incredible game and possibly the new best showcase for the OLED, goddamn it's beautiful.
Super happy with Mega Drive emulation on this 🙂 Safe to call it the best on the system I reckon, it is indeed leagues better than the MD/Gen collection, and even better than M2's ports in terms of no shimmering on 4:3 scrolling. Though stupidly, if you do pixel perfect the gradiant background pretty obviously doesn't line up with it ha, further making the case for us to disable that...
N64 is definitely pretty rough sadly, still had some fun with it but yeah desperately hoping they improve it. A bit easier to swallow since I'm only playing £4.15 for pro rated family sub (on top of £2.81 on a CDKeys regular bought family plan), so I'm happy on that for Mega Drive + Animal Crossing DLC alone, but still absolutely not acceptable and needs to be improved.

I wished we can get in contact with the support team, so we can file bugs to their internal bug trackers.
Or, I wished Nintendo would make a public bug tracker.

No Activision is not involved in James Bond games and fwiw EON Productions renewed a Goldeneye trademark a few months ago.
so, are they any offline issues? I still don't know if I'd buy the expansion pack or if I should wait for patch or something like that
I think there are. I don't have the expansion pack, so I don't have much to say.
I did recalled there were some issues with Dark Link in the Ocarina of Time dungeon / room, where the emulator couldn't emulate the TV out signals properly, causing it to display a warning message. But then again, it's a Twitter post, not something I personally experienced.
so if I just buy the $25 Animal Crossing DLC separately...is this also usable by my wife? We have 2 switches, a digital version of AC, and she can play her island on the "primary" console just fine, and I can play mine on the other, but just wanted to make sure the DLC would work the same way...i'm assuming yes but don't want to spend the money until I know for sure...
Both Custom Robo games are confirmed for Japan so they take up 2 of the 1-6 slots even if they don't come here
Yea I saw that. Probably kills Tooie and Bomberman. Hopefully Diddy Kong Racing survives the cuts.
Just realized this version of Mario 64 is worse than the version put out with 3D All Stars. Nintendo is fucking hilarious
It could be diff now, but it was the case for sure:
"Nintendo considered the possibility of bringing GoldenEye 007 to the Wii's Virtual Console in 2006, the game was never released for the platform due to legal issues involving the numerous licence holders with rights to the game and to the James Bond intellectual property. In 2006, the James Bond game licence was acquired by Activision."

I'm having a tough time finding a clear answer for this question, if I have a bunch of friends who are not on family plans, but currently pay for NSO's normal non-expansion single account plan (so they still have months left on their subs), what happens when I purchase a family sub and invite them? Do they lose all their existing months left? Is that accounted for and any existing months they had left are tacked onto the family plan? Are they refunded? I can't find this scenario really described thoroughly anywhere online.
I was in a similar predicament as you. Myself as the admin got a discount buying the family plan. The other people on my plan did not get any discount moving to a family group. They still overall saved money so it was still worth it for them.
Activision lost their general license a few years ago, IO interactive is working on one title but it is individually licensed from EON productions and MGM.It could be diff now, but it was the case for sure:

Honestly, If Microsoft and Nintendo want to play ball then I think there might be no better time since it originally released for Goldeneye to make an appearance.
Thank you for the information, that's a bummer, but yeah ultimately they're saving a lot if they wanted the expansion in the first place.
You can create a thread for it, since this thread is about the NSO features and not about joining a family plan.
This list is international. It's the same regardless of the region. Dr Mario didn't release in japan
The lack of Controller Pak support is bad, and not a good sign for my (faint) hopes of Transfer Pak support. Everything else seems pretty overblown. I expect the fog emulation issue in OoT to be fixed, and not much else to change.
If they're alphabetical by the Japanese name, Smash 64 wouldn't be under S. By its full title, it would be under N ("Nintendo All-Star"); by the part of its title shared with the rest of the series, it would be under D ("Dairantou Smash Brothers").
There's no way to do it automatically. You might be able to make a case with Nintendo support, but I haven't tried it personally. I have until April '22 with my current family plan, and I wanted to downgrade to individual since nobody in our household plays ACNH anymore. Best I can do at the moment is turn off auto-renewal and then wait for my current sub to lapse, and then resub as individual next year. Which sounds fine to me I guess, since I want to see how the expansion pass changes over time (if it does).
Similar situation here. My sub lapses on Dec 15th. Going to wait and see if they make this worth paying for or not.
Cost me £18.57 to upgrade from my regular to a year of the online Plus. Considering this includes the AC DLC, I think this was a steal. The N64 controller that arrived this morning makes OoT a joy to play (minus the graphical downgrade of course).
The DLC works just like the base game as far as digital purchases go— once purchased, both consoles should be ok to download and play it. Other games' DLC, like Breath of the Wild and Smash Bros, work that way, so it shouldn't be any different.
So I know there's a pile of "ifs" here, but if Nintendo polish up some of the N64 emulation problems, and if there's really 30-something N64 games to be released and 50-something Mega Drive games, and if there is another platform as data mining suggests, and if updates are actually somewhat regular instead of all over the place like the NES and SNES ones, then...that looks like it might turn out to be a reasonably okay service. I think it's still a disappointingly underwhelming start, but it looks like there is at least the outlines of a plan to grow it.
I know there's not many plausible games sitting alphabetically between Winback and Yoshi's Story but I think the most likely choice here is Worms Armageddon and that even really obscure stuff that appears to have a near-zero chance of appearing is still more likely to appear than Wipeout 64.
There's so many interesting games between those two, it's kind of a shame that there's only two spaces there.
Surely not.

Wouldn't be shocked if it's GB/GBC and just made part of the base subscription, while GBA is added later as part of the expansion pack.
It didn't?! Who made that and why does it feel like it was the same team that did the not-released-in-Japan-either Pokémon Puzzle League?
This is part of the issue.It's their IP; but it isn't entirely their game.
The second is that Nintendo is trying to distance themselves from the in-game situation where you can slam a gyrocopter into a simulated World Trade Center in the Little States map.
Yeah, Sony owns Wipeout since they bought Psygnosis / Studio Liverpool back in the day. I doubt they'd allow it to happen, unfortunately.
EDIT: Just looked it up, and Wipeout 64 was released even though Psygnosis had been owned by Sony for five years by the time it released? That's wild. Still though, I don't see modern-day Sony allowing it. It isn't impossible but I don't see it happening.
