Nintendo Online Service and SNES Online Jubilation Thread

Another NES game and an almighty four SNES games are being put up on NIntendo Switch Online next week.



My feeling about Donkey Kong Country 3 is that if you've got the first two then you may as well have the third. I liked it well enough on Wii Virtual Console, it's worth a playthrough. I've got no clue about Super Valis IV, but all I know is that I've definitely never seen it on anybody's 'Best SNES Games Ever!' type of lists.

The other three are entirely predictable fare, with Tuff E Nuff and Ignition Factor coming from Jaleco and Nightshade coming from PIKO Interactive. They're two companies that seem happy to license their games to anybody and to anywhere - all this stuff is already on the Evercade, on Antstream, and all those odd non-branded retro mini consoles. Anyway, Tuff E Nuff is spectacularly average, I've never played Ignition Factor, and I couldn't be buggered with Nightshade.

I'm certainly curious to try Nightshade, but I'd not heard of that or Valis either.

I'm still replaying DKC2 but it's good to have 3 on there too. Tempted to jump right into it. I still really like it.

I'm doing this thing of playing all the Marios and I'm about to start the Zeldas, but I should also do the Donkey Kongs at some point. I've always been adamant that the platforming and graphics are a bit gross next to Super Mario World but I liked the Wii and Wii U ones so I should give them another go.

I turned on my Switch this morning to see that there's a week-long free Game Trial for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Get amongst that - it's a brilliant cart racer and it was one of my favourite games of 2019. 

Thanks for the heads up. I used to have it on cartridge so it'd be nice to play it again and be able to play with some peeps online maybe - must be especially harder finding people online on Switch for it now though.

I've downloaded it with the intention to play, with every game trial so far I've either not bothered or gave up after 20 minutes, Disgaea and Rune Factory were far too slow starting for a game trial.

Ha, did you hear me laying into it during our last Among Us session?

I played half an hour of it and packed it in.

There's your problem. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is one of those games that you need to invest at least thirty-one minutes into

I reckon I put 32 minutes in to it although at least 10 of that was getting through all the licensing agreements and all the like. Anyway boring game that does nothing better than Mario Kart, maybe it was as good as MK64 back in the day but compared to MK8D... Whoa! (the Crash version of the word, not a good whoa).

The retail version of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has a sticker on the front saying "WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE FROM MANCHESTER", that's the issue there.

I need to have a word with Game in Manchester then because they must have removed that sticker, can't blame them I guess.
