Alone in the Dark New Nightmare is such a random choice. Not just because it's from an IP that hasn't seen a proper game in years, but because it's a demake of a console game, not a game made exclusively for the Gameboy.
Yeah, but it’s also a game that pushes the hardware limits on the GBC, which is probably why Nintendo took interest in adding it to the GB launch library on the Switch!😄
My favorite part about the upcoming GB/GBC/GBA selection is that Kirby's Tilt N Tumble being added implies that we could eventually have WarioWare Twisted on here with the Switch's gyro controls.

Don't lose hope just yet. Since Nintendo already had various DS and 3DS games for the Wii U Virtual Console, chances are that they're the next up for Switch Online support, after the eShop support for 3DS and Wii U finally meets its sad demise. It's not over yet!
@@ianrager maybe they can figure out a way to link the Switch and a phone so the phone can be used as the bottom DS touchscreen. But no, it still won't be the same as a DS because the DS has a stylus and resistive touchscreen. Maybe releasing a Switch add-on that is a small resistive touchscreen with a stylus!
@@zzoinks TL;DR at the end of this text behemoth. It could be as simple as nintendo releasing a stylus for the Switch, paired perhaps maybe even with updating the touchscreen firmware to have *very* good error correction to make up for it, but definitely make various tweaks to the (3)DS ROMs to better accommodate a capacitive touchscreen. It's definitely not impossible, but if done well, it could be wonderful. I also wonder if they'd have you deliberately disengage the joy-cons from the console, just so that you can play it with the screen rotated 90° (to better accommodate the combined aspect ratio of the two screens, without the player having an aneurysm trying to play it with the joy-cons still attached). It's not like not Nintendo isn't capable of doing something like that with the Switch, as they've done something similar - which is much more extreme than that - with Super Mario Party (I'm not saying we should need two consoles to even use the (3)DS on NSO, I'm just saying that rotating the screen 90° is seriously not a big deal compared to what was achieved to allow Super Mario Party to function smoothly). (3)DS for NSO is definitely possible with a bit of outside-of-the-box thinking, which has practically been Nintendo's main core principle for a while now (well, that and "If it's not fun, why bother?"). So yeah, they probably wouldn't need to develop integration with a phone, when all they'd have to do is have the player rotate the console 90°, take the joy-cons off the console, and in turn utilize a much better aspect ratio for accommodating two DS screens on top of one another. TL;DR All Nintendo would have to do is release an official stylus for the Switch, perhaps improve the touchscreen firmware's precision and error correction, certainly tweak and adjust the ROMs to better accommodate a capacitive touchscreen, then have the player disconnect the joy-cons from the console, then rotate the console to a portrait orientation, which would allow for the two DS screens to easily fit onto one handheld screen! Edit: As for support for the 3DS' main gimmick: yeah, NOT happening.

Literally none of the kids i asked that have switches know what any of these are and dont care to play them. they are too young to know and just dont care. One was very confused that they were all in 2d and not 3d. they were between 13-16.

Not disagreeing but it's $50 a YEAR. like $4 a month. I don't like subscription services either but for what its worth nintendo online is a pretty cheap one compared to most others.

Got a bjt hyped when I saw Golden Sun was gonna be included eventually. I've never owned it, but I heard its one of the best rpgs on the gameboy advance and I've always wanted to play it
That expansion pack will only get me if they decide to add Gamecube. We're way overdue for ports of games from Nintendo's most underrated, underappreciated console era. To literally get Wii games on the Wii U but not Gamecube was an absolute crime to the industry.
It's too late for me to give a shit. I will go ahead and stick with my steam deck and totally normal 3DS. Sorry Nintendo, I already bought these games multiple times, across multiple systems, I shouldnt have to pay for a glorified rental program.
To be fair, I doubt this is made for people rocking Steam Decks and homebrewed 3DS's in the first place - it's more for average Joes and Timmies who don't mind throwing some cash towards hassle-free access to their childhood games.
Really? Game Boy and GBA games are some of the easier games to emulate. ...Or so I hear, FBI agents and Nintendo ninjas that may be spying on me right now.
oooooor... I can just emulate all the GB/GBA games ever released on one of the three handheld consoles I have in my drawer. or even the phone I'm using to type this right now.
I audibly said 'ew' when this was announced. At least people with lack of emulator knowledge will be able to play Game and Watch Gallery 3, the definitive Game Boy game.
correct me if I'm wrong, but no amount of "emulator knowledge" will allow you to play these games on Switch, unless you're willing to mod your console, of course.
You should officially be considered braindead if you can't figure how to use an emulator for like the GBA or what. It's almost literally a drag-and-drop kind of deal, ffs
The 64, gb ,gbc and GBA emulators on the service technically count as pokemon games. Also at the time this comment was made we have 5 copies of Mario bros now.
Nintendo haters in the comments trying to either justify why they still don’t want to buy games when no one is forcing them and Nintendo fans trying to defend why they like something when they can just like it regardless is wild, why’s everything gotta be so aggressive nowadays
when Nintendo DS emulation? Drastic or Desmume still pales to the genuine DS experience by a large gap, but the Switch might come close tbh. I do like rereleases yes
Wario Land 3 is the "Metroidvania" one indeed and my personal favorite, glad to see it added to Switch Online among all those other great games (and a couple of obscure ones, too)! Although I still don't get why they didn't show any modern version, i.e. the best ones so one of the selling points, of the games in Game & Watch Gallery 3...
Why? Why cant i just buy the games instead of paying for a subscription? How did Nintendo managed to make a subscription system even worse that the others on the market? WHY CANT VIDEOGAMES RETURN TO BEING A ONE TIME PURCHASE?
Honestly I'm all for that. That's what I did with the original Dragon Quest. I don't mind buying these games with a singular price, which was originally my plan with games like GoldenEye 007, Banjo Kazooie, and now Mario and Luigi. 2 games I've never played and 1 game that I've played for like a half hour.
I just wish that they actually had a relatively expansive list of titles to actually make it worthwhile. Maybe throw in some of the gba pokemon games, some more zelda titles, more mario, or even just obscure but fun shit like the dragon ball z games like The Legacy Of Goku
Honestly just the idea of actually being able to play Kirby and the Amazing Mirror multiplayer without a mess of now kind of expensive cables is enough to sell me on the expansion pass. Plus getting Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and likely later down the road Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade will be really nice as entry points into the Fire Emblem series for new comers, plus it will give people a legal way to play actually good Fire Emblem games. *Shots fired at the newer games* Even the GB/GBC games are amazing, and yes you can easily emulate them, not everyone want to emulate or even knows you can emulate games. Though personally I only really care about the Zelda games, and the Pokemon TCG game. Everything else so far for the GB/GBC bit is just kind of meh. This does mean that there is a CHANCE we will get the main line Pokemon games in those. Seeing as Nintendo is no longer selling them with the 3DS eshop being shut down, I could see them porting them to the Switch Online offerings. The potential is there, but honestly even as it stands I'm happy with what's been announced. Just the fact they are supporting online multiplayer for these old games is amazing, and not something they needed to do, and honestly I can't wait to share these games with my gf who hasn't played any of them.

Sorry Nintendo, I already bought these games multiple times, across multiple systems, I shouldnt have to pay for a glorified rental program.
yes our very normal 3DS with a normal SD card inside
@CannedCoochie pirates are cool
@CannedCoochie My favorite genre
I'm to the point where I probably wouldn't even buy a Mother 3 localization if it came out.
To be fair, I doubt this is made for people rocking Steam Decks and homebrewed 3DS's in the first place - it's more for average Joes and Timmies who don't mind throwing some cash towards hassle-free access to their childhood games.
Really? Game Boy and GBA games are some of the easier games to emulate.
...Or so I hear, FBI agents and Nintendo ninjas that may be spying on me right now.
GBA only launched with 6 games lol, couldn't drag and drop more ROMs
This means a marked increased priority to let us save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever !
283 days remaining till I
They're probably going to do this all the way till the Wii U, price is probably more than $100
*S O U P*
Me when no Mother 3
Drip feed games
Still gonna do a bit of sailing the seven seas, but ok
the direct was 80% remakes
I will not be spending big money for gba
KURURIN ISN'T IRRITATING STICK
oooooor... I can just emulate all the GB/GBA games ever released on one of the three handheld consoles I have in my drawer.
or even the phone I'm using to type this right now.
I audibly said 'ew' when this was announced.
At least people with lack of emulator knowledge will be able to play Game and Watch Gallery 3, the definitive Game Boy game.
correct me if I'm wrong, but no amount of "emulator knowledge" will allow you to play these games on Switch, unless you're willing to mod your console, of course.
Rick and Morty fan moment
@@go_golden Modding your console falls under "emulator knowledge" in this case.
So I agree. "Ew" is the appropriate response.
@@go_golden you can play them on your goddamn phone
You should officially be considered braindead if you can't figure how to use an emulator for like the GBA or what.
It's almost literally a drag-and-drop kind of deal, ffs
Oh, hell yeah! Gargoyle's Quest!
All it took for me to get that expansion pack was the GBA. Granted the other stuff is great too but…gba nostalgia
Emulators tho ^^
@@JennyTheNerdBat faster to turn on my switch than to boot up my laptop and emulator
@@tailsprower8118 retroarch on your phone?
The 64, gb ,gbc and GBA emulators on the service technically count as pokemon games. Also at the time this comment was made we have 5 copies of Mario bros now.
I'm hoping for some sort of Pokemon Gen 1 & 2 integration with the Switch port of Pokemon Stadium 1 + 2
wario land 3 but no wario land 4?
no doubt it'll make it there eventually, probably in 2028, thanks nintendo!
Don't buy the Expansion Pass. There is nothing here that will make you want to expand dong.
Nintendo haters in the comments trying to either justify why they still don’t want to buy games when no one is forcing them and Nintendo fans trying to defend why they like something when they can just like it regardless is wild, why’s everything gotta be so aggressive nowadays
WHERE IS MEGAMAN BATTLE NETWORK?!?
No point when the Collection is a couple months away
They’re making a collection, no point in putting those games on the online service.
when Nintendo DS emulation? Drastic or Desmume still pales to the genuine DS experience by a large gap, but the Switch might come close tbh.
I do like rereleases yes
so #retro
I feel like they're not adding pokemon games cause they know people wouldn't buy the shitty remakes
No reaction to Golden Sun... orz
God please god release all of the WARIO land games
Wario Land 3 is the "Metroidvania" one indeed and my personal favorite, glad to see it added to Switch Online among all those other great games (and a couple of obscure ones, too)!
Although I still don't get why they didn't show any modern version, i.e. the best ones so one of the selling points, of the games in Game & Watch Gallery 3...
Alone in the Dark??? There are fans out there losing their shit over it?
"I expected nothing and i'm still disappointed"
Its gonna be cool playing Mario & Luigi on a TV screen. I havent played that game since it came out, super nostaglic
@@MegaMario9001 GameCube
@@MegaMario9001 or a computer :V
Why? Why cant i just buy the games instead of paying for a subscription? How did Nintendo managed to make a subscription system even worse that the others on the market? WHY CANT VIDEOGAMES RETURN TO BEING A ONE TIME PURCHASE?
Honestly I'm all for that. That's what I did with the original Dragon Quest. I don't mind buying these games with a singular price, which was originally my plan with games like GoldenEye 007, Banjo Kazooie, and now Mario and Luigi. 2 games I've never played and 1 game that I've played for like a half hour.
They need to add the DS. Maybe people would actually buy nintendo online.
I just wish that they actually had a relatively expansive list of titles to actually make it worthwhile.
Maybe throw in some of the gba pokemon games, some more zelda titles, more mario, or even just obscure but fun shit like the dragon ball z games like The Legacy Of Goku
I'm still emulating old nintendo games and I'm never going to buy a switch unless I get rich. Sorry Nintendchuds
okay
Good for you
That’s nice to hear, chuckwagon.
ok
*thumbs up*
*goes back to enjoying ourselves*
I don’t know why I actually got excited for a shadow mother 3 localization when I saw the gba show up
Honestly just the idea of actually being able to play Kirby and the Amazing Mirror multiplayer without a mess of now kind of expensive cables is enough to sell me on the expansion pass. Plus getting Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and likely later down the road Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade will be really nice as entry points into the Fire Emblem series for new comers, plus it will give people a legal way to play actually good Fire Emblem games. *Shots fired at the newer games*
Even the GB/GBC games are amazing, and yes you can easily emulate them, not everyone want to emulate or even knows you can emulate games. Though personally I only really care about the Zelda games, and the Pokemon TCG game. Everything else so far for the GB/GBC bit is just kind of meh. This does mean that there is a CHANCE we will get the main line Pokemon games in those. Seeing as Nintendo is no longer selling them with the 3DS eshop being shut down, I could see them porting them to the Switch Online offerings. The potential is there, but honestly even as it stands I'm happy with what's been announced.
Just the fact they are supporting online multiplayer for these old games is amazing, and not something they needed to do, and honestly I can't wait to share these games with my gf who hasn't played any of them.
Well... i guess we can say Mario & Luigi finally made it in the Nintendo Switch
Someone gift him the expansion pass. I wanna see him play N64 stuff that's not shovelware!
