Kirby's Star Stacker, Quest for Camelot and two more titles arrive on Nintendo Switch Online today

NSO-Switch-Updates_09-05-23-768x432.jpg

​
The Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) app got 4 new entries today for their members, with SNES game, one GBC game and two NES games available now on the service. The titles added include:
  • Kirby’s Star Stacker (SNES, previously a Japan exclusive title)
  • Joy Mech Fight (NES, previously a Japan exclusive title)
  • Downtown Nekketsu March Super-Awesome Field Day! (NES, previously a Japan exclusive title)
  • Quest for Camelot (GBC)
It's worth noting that out of the 4 titles dropping on NSO today, 3 of them were previously Japan exclusive titles that didn't get a western release until today, with the only title from the list released outside Japan being Quest for Camelot for the Game Boy Color.
As an added note, the 3 Japan exclusive titles seem to not count with any kind of translation on the service, so they are released with their original Japanese language.

Pretty cheap bait comment, man.
I don't have a Nintendo console currently, but if I were to pay $20 a year for online play, I would be perfectly happy to try these freebies out.

Mean, the first three games range from fine to pretty good, but... Quest for Camelot? Really?
That game is just straight up broken garbage. Guess craptendo feels like they have to adhere to the "quality" standard of most of their shit eshop offerings.

Wait a sec, all of these are Japanese exclusive, and like all of the other jp exclusive games, they have yet to be translated.

Well I like Star Stacker but I have never played it before outside of hearing one of the soundtracks in this game in an animation that I forgot the name of.

Yeah. It's so funny... if you have hacked your Switch you can only laugh at these Nintendo announcements. I remember when they announced that Game Boy games would be coming to the Switch and showed off "Super Mario Land 2" while I was playing the color hack "Super Mario Land 2 DX" for ages on my Switch via RetroArch but since they didn't ever colorise it themselves they can't use it of course and same applies to translations.

We can play for a sh*tty online service with lagging online play and those limited NSO retro games for whose we would even lose access when Nintendo shuts their servers down in a few years or we can just enjoy literally anything including all rom hacks and translations via RetroArch.
Even if you're Switch is not hackable, it's rather worth it to pay a "soldering guy" to put a modchip inside than to pay Nintendo for their stupid online service.

It's cool to see Nintendo release Japan Only games outside Japan, but these games just don't look very interesting, imo.

This is not the right place to be assuming the Nintendo fanboys. That's X.

Seriously though, what am I looking at? These games aren't that bad, although the NSO is stupid.

The only games that Nintendo put on there that "nobody heard of" is Puyo Puyo Tsu and Magical Drop. Although they chose the wrong version of MD II on there

They could, you know, pay the fan translators ? Oh, the horror ! Or they could do their own localization, it would be easy and quick for them to do so with such not-text-heavy games :glare:

90% of these translations though were made 10+ years ago. Lot of them rather buggy. Also good luck contacting the creators of some of them lol. Lot of them were teams that were disbanded years ago. Also I don't know if that is a good look for Nintendo to use others work.
