Why is it so hard for them to put the Earthbound games on this service?

 

[Mama Looigi]

How does it look?

It looks great actually
If your PC could handle it, I don’t see why someone wouldn’t do it

Already been checking eshop 10 times today. So excited about it.

Same. I don't want to miss it

With it launching tomorrow in Europe (apparently), I would anticipate a late evening launch in North America if working under the assumption that the app will launch at the same moment in all regions.

You must surely mean Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, yes?

I actually liked the music from that game better then Super Mario World.
The monkey madness music is catchy IMHO.

 

[SecureBoot]

Someone ping me when they hit the eshop

I know this might have been asked before, but is there a patch to play this (or NES) without Nintendo Online? I guess not.

This news post is incorrect. Joe & Mac is not included. Joe & Mac 2: Lost in the Tropics on the other hand is.

The only reason I care about Nintendo Online news is because my friend uses my switch and pays for it, so I just use his profile sometimes when I want to do retro games
So basically I have them free
PS: I’m just doing a full Super Mario World playthrough on my laptop right now with that new upscale filter thingy

What new upscale filter thingy?


EDIT
nevermind lol

7pm est according to youtubers. I guess the eshop updates are usually at that time on Thursdays.

Though I agree with you on the crappy online experience, I doubt that they have ported canoe as it is, I think it will be a better or updated version, or even another emulator designed to work exclusively in Horizon, since canoe was originally designed for a custom Linux build used in the SNES mini, and let's not forget that NSO emulator version has online capabilities. Also it should be take into account that apparently NERD has nothing to do with the development of these emulators, they only participated on the WiiU ones and the classic minis.

All good points. Did not know about NERD not being involved. But, it would be foolish for Nintendo not to reuse code wherever possible. For example, the NES Emulator for Switch Online is called L-CLASSICS, which is an enhanced port of kachikachi, which is the emulator used on the NES Classic.

So that is why I believe the new SNES emulator will be an enhanced port of Canoe. On this point I believe we both agree. I suppose it would be easier for Nintendo to use bsnes or snes9x, but they would never stoop to Sony's level vis-a-vis the PlayStation Classic (that and Nintendo hates unofficial emulators with a passion).

Super Mario World the greatest game ever to be released.

If you think otherwise you a Sonic lover.

FACT!

But I love Sonic and Mario games equally. I'll admit to the 3D Sonic games being garbage in comparison to 3D Mario or 2D Sonic games

 

[ut2k4master]

release is at 1am central european, which means its coming out at 4pm pacific/7pm eastern if its a simultaneous release

I don't think there's a set time. I've heard 7 est because that's apparently when the eshop gets updates.
