How do you get rid of that bottom text on the screen in the HUD? I've seen numerous videos on YT and they have it hidden (gradient background still there, but the white text isn't) how?

People are alleging it to be possible

Edit: gamexplain stated you can disable it in options

Uncheck "show controls in-game". SO much better. Thanks for pointing it out. Also applies to NES games now.

I must admit I've been very impressed with the emulation of the SNES games. I have done any exhaustive playthroughs, but I like to test F-Zero due to how twitchy it gets, especially in some of the later courses. It feels almost as good as the real thing. I'd definitely say it's better than the SNES Classic. Considering the hardware is better, though, that shouldn't have been a stretch.

After trying them out I feel like they could do a whole lot more.
Breath of Fire is known for it's bad translation and poison bugs insta poisoning for the US release.
Puyo Puyo 2 was a nice surprise but five players is not implemented which sucks on a console that could handle that well locally.
The rest seems okay but nothing to write home about.
Still it does show they'll add Japan games in now so I hope that means Mecha Joy Fight comes to the US NES collection. However I'd really like public play or a way to ping friends to even play online in the first place.
Also hoping for the Satellaview games to appear, especially the ones lost to time.
That and Super Scope and mouse games with touch screen and motion controls implemented. (also actual mouse USB support, though I still think the IR sensor could be used for better pointing controls too)
I'm not gonna hold my breath but I hope it's not the continued slow trickle again from here on out and they actually do more with it than some minimums.
Heck I wouldn't mind paying a little to keep the games if any ever get pulled offline or the like.
Though I'd rather use Higan and Retroarch for it's rich amounts of features and just being portable just isn't much.
Least they come with the "service" but I think it makes the situation worse by showing off just how little they want to do and how lacking the "service" is.
Eh, still a good sign I suppose but I'm not gonna expect much more.
The new controller does look nice, even if I already have an 8bitso SN30 pro.

Any more wishes or fever fantasies?

Super Soccer has had the adverts tweaked. Instead of 'Sim City' on the advertising hoarding it now just reads 'Field'.

Does this mean we won't be getting Sim City as a later release? Maybe it's licensing. Or maybe I am just overthinking. Also maybe I am the only one who has played Super Soccer so far

Doesn't that belong to EA? I doubt it.

Ign and and several others are saying they been told by Nintendo that monthly releases of nes and snes games are not happening as of today. Games will be added at much slower pace. No reasons were given other than it isn’t currently feasible to due any longer.

I’m assuming it’s due to ip licensing problems or Nintendo just doesn’t want to.

maybe the Nintendo should of called the Nintendo Switch online service, the Nintendo Bait & Switch Barely Online Disservice

They didn't specifically say "slower" just not weekly or monthly, but randomly, whatever that means. But I'd rather take one good SNES over a shitty NES sports game any day.

Can you play SNES Nintendo Switch online ? I am a little bit confused. Never tried NES online so no idea about this one either. I know all about emulators home-brew but I wonder if I can play it on my atmosphere the latest version ?
