Chibi-Robo is *not* FORGOTTEN....

>>717956695 (OP)
Literally who???

I’m genuinely surprised by the well made trailer

I'm not paying for it but that's nice.

>>717956887
This is something only NoA bothers to do for some reason. They make a boring cookie cutter version for other regions. They even bothered to interview Alexey Pajitnov for NES Tetris on NSO and it was just for the American trailer, it's bizarre.

>>717956695 (OP)
MARIO WHEN?!

>>717957128
Lmao this is really bizarre. At least NoA is based for once

Oh right this one as well. The narrator was quite funny

>>717957389
The Japanese-only DS sequel was good.

>>717956695 (OP)
That's cool, too bad I can just play it in Dolphin and it'll work better. Speaking of, I really ought to get around to the fan translation of the NDS sequel.

Where's Cubivore, bastards?!

>best sound design of Nintendo Gamecube is back
Based

>>717957128
Because Japan is already sold on NSO, and NoA is uniquely dogshit when handling the actual games, they need something to sell it.

>>717957609
When Nintendo runs out of the games people actually want, and then Doshin the Giant, so about a year.

September: Super Mario Sunshine
October: Luigi's Mansion
November: Pokemon Colosseum/XD Gale of Darkness
December: Fire Emblem Path of Radiance

the only thing I don't like about this game is that the characters prattle on in annoying banjo-kazooie speak and you can't skip or speed up the dialogue whatsoever

It's amazing going back and playing old NES games on emulators and remember how fucking hard a lot of those games actually were

>>717958226
Why don't they just drop them all now? Who the fuck cares about monthly releases for 25 year old games?

>>717958853
Because they need something to people to actually subscribe to their garbage service. And frankly Gamecube games are the only things justifying its existence at all.

>>717956695 (OP)
Chibi-Robo is such a fun fucking game. I'm glad more kids and manchildren will get a chance to play it now.

>>717958235
It's called sovl you homo

>>717956695 (OP)
The only thing I remember about this game is the text being infuriatingly slow with no option to speed it up which I think was fixed on the JPN exclusive Wii re-release.

>Decide to look through everything else Skip did
>Chibi Robo was genuinely the only real game series they had that wasn't Wii/DSiware mini game garbage, that got localized
>The second Chibi Robo game released as a Walmart exclusive the day before LoZ Phantom Hourglass
>Still put the pressure on them to make Zip Lash to be mainstream despite how borderline impossible it would be
NoA really fucked them over didn't they?

>>717957223
>>717957421
They also made a big deal out of Golden Sun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgrL9deh8yk

>>717959802
We never got giftpia because Reggie thought it was too weird and wouldn't sell, even though they went as far as to make an English build of it for e3, then Tanabe fucked them over by hijacking zipline and making it into a platformer

Skip devs got fucked over so bad, they ended up just making a new company just so they could make the games they want to make without getting screwed by corporate overlords for once

>>717959995
Reggie also said Stary was "too Japanese" to localize, and there was also how Disaster Day of Crisis was never brought to NA despite being fully localized, FE Radiant Dawn released a week before Mario Galaxy in the west, and Project Rainfall literally needed to exist to get Xenoblade despite it being shown off at E3

...Fuck memes aside, Reggie really was fucking awful.

>>717957537
I liked it but I wasn't crazy about how it made the entire game about cleaning and shopping, very effeminate. The first game was essentially a point-and-click adventure psuedo-platformer where the "cleaning" was a purely optional way to get money.

>>717958235
The gibberish is charming but no way to speed up the text is my only genuine criticism of the original Chibi-Robo. It makes Dolphin's turbo button a must for playing it.

>>717959995
I saw Giftpia in Nintendo power back in the day and was excited to play it. Fuck Reggie so much for all the games he kept trying to block.

>>717956695 (OP)

>>717956695 (OP)
This is one of the very few GameCube games I have not played.

>>717960253
Remember how US fans had to make fucking operation rainfall to get a bunch of Wii games? Jesus christ that faggot had a vision of what Nintendo should be that was completely out of touch with reality.

why can't I just buy these games and own them digitally on my switch 2 like the wii shop channel

I mean, not like the current president who’s named after nintendo’s signature villain is any better. Frankly I say just do away with NoA completely, they exist solely as a net-negative in every way shape and form

>>717960448
AND WE STILL HAVEN'T GOT MOTHER 3!!
remembering this makes my blood boil

>>717960781
Agreed, they've been nothing but a blight.

>>717956695 (OP)
Chibi-Robo, my boy... let's fucking GO! Gamecube was my fav console as a child, and Chibi-Robo was the always my favorite Ninty series to debut on the purple box. He's been my most wanted in Smash since pre-Smash 4, and I can safely say the lad has a spot waiting for him once this rerelease catches fire.

Play this game people!

>>717960781
thank god they are slowly losing their power ever since the start of the switch era
removing region locking was a big step

>malding over Mother 3 in the big 25
Just emulate it you nerd. I guarantee the fan translation is a better experience than you would ever get with Treehouse.

everyone makes fun of the online shit but I never owned soul calibur 2 as a kid and didn't play it on gamecube when I did play it at a friend's house to having the GameCube version and getting to play it with a legitimate wireless controller in my bed or wherever is really fucking fun and I've put 15+ hours into it already

>>717958853
I do

>>717960783
Even nintendo says just emulate it, and considering they don't like it at all, it's the most you'll ever get to them acknowledging it

>>717956887
NSO trailers are surprisingly good

>>717961073
>>717961274
As much as I don't disagree, this defeatist attitude rubs me the wrong way.

It's been almost 20 fucking years. Why shouldn't we already have this game? They KNOW people want it, they even "joke" about it. So why don't they do anything about it?!

>>717956695 (OP)
That's cool, but HOLY SHIT JUST ANNOUNCE A FULL FUCKING DIRECT ALREADY

>>717961515
retard

>>717956695 (OP)
>not toadstool tour or double dash
I know Chibi Robo needs some love but cmon.

>>717961073
>>717961274
it's just this weird taboo that they somehow refuse to do anything with
it also kills any chance for a mother 4

not only do you have to pay for nintendslop online, you have to pay a premium on top of that to play gamecube? truly a cucked player base

>>717961515
We're not getting a full direct until next month you dumbass

>>717956695 (OP)
I wish it was like on Playstation where you can buy the game individually without having to sign up for a subscription.

>>717956695 (OP)
Scalpers in shambles, also I’m not expecting a yes but did Nintendo fix that famously bad input lag? Just curious

>>717962046
Do you believe?

>>717962043
This quirky little game about a goofy robot had no business pulling this shit

>>717956887
They're doing a pretty significant marketing effort on all the Classics back catalog that's in the subscription right now.
In general, the Switch 2 has been a pretty slick experience in that regard. Even the eShop now has seamless video-playback when you hold the cursor over games, and it does make me check out more stuff than I normally do.
They even have a splash animation on the Nintendo Online tab for fucking Wario Land 3 and 4 right now.

>>717957421
Honestly Mario Paint NSO trailer is one of the few Nintendo Ads in years that didn't feel painfully sterile. The Bananza Direct was just as great too.

>>717957165
I'm already playing Sunshine from the 3D All-stars collection with my NSO Gamecube stick. It was updated to seamlessly swap to Original gamecube controls when it's plugged in, it's so nice.

>>717957421
>Just plug in a computer mouse in the USB!
I kinda love how unhinged that is for Nintendo.

>>717962541
yeah we know why this board likes DK game... and it ain't the game.

>>717962046
it doesn't, games that have even direct remakes on the system like pokemon mystery dungeon and link's awakening get added
if I had to guess they're saving it for when the next smash gets announced to build up it's hype cycle or there's some bullshit like the rights to the stock sound effects used in the game
as for melee it's got some perfect dark/goldeneye item depending on the region which would need approval from rights holders

>>717962245
The one thing that goes against it is that it shows Forsaken 64 which is M rated, and the M rated N64 games are on their own separate app.

>>717962541
God, I love Pauline. What a gift DK Bananza was. I hope to see her appear in more bing bing games.

>>717958853
Still wondering if this leak rumor is even real at this point, Nintendo is hella unpredictable but this is the second NSO announcement after Mario paint. Last month was Mario Strikers.

>>717962676
what app?

>>717962813
like the other anon mentioned this has an M rated game with the E rated ones which couldn't actually happen
probably just the devs fucking around putting whatever games they wanted in the app not thinking autists would be comparing the color gradients of the blurred boxes, we already know the devs added a bunch of third party and licensed games to the GBA app whilst testing from when that was leaked so it wouldn't be a stretch to say that's what happened here

>>717963031
Nintendo 64 mature app is separate from thr normal Nintendo 64 app. Mainly it has all the M rated games like perfect dark.

>>717963031
It's like that anon just said, m rated nintendo games have their own unique app section, you wouldn't normally see it unless you access it yourself.

>>717963078
what the fuck i never knew this even existed
i can play perfect dark on switch???

>>717963137
Yeah you need to download the app like all the other retro console ones. It appears as it's own that looks similar to the N64 app but with a black mature banner on the bottom.

>>717963137
Seems they updated it to match with the Switch 2 version of N64 NSO, so if you've got that it's got the scanlines and rewind https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-64-nintendo-classics-mature-17-plus-switch/

>>717958853
Nintendo fanboys shit their pants in excitement when a game from the fucking 360 and PS3 comes to Switch 1/2 15 years later. Nintendo is a religion to its core audience. If Miyamoto made a five second youtube video telling everyone to cut off an arm with zero context, there would be millions of one-armed Nintendo fans the next day.

>>717962560
gamecube controller support was actually added back in 2020 for the adapter, it and smash treat the NSO controller as being a normal gamecube (so they can't use the added zl button for example)

>>717963526
>If Miyamoto made a five second youtube video telling everyone to cut off an arm with zero context, there would be millions of one-armed Nintendo fans the next day.
And they'd justify it because BUH SONY STARTED IT WITH $70 GAMES.

>>717963650
original GC adapters with the original controllers work in the gc app also
I had to update the firmware in my mayflash adapter to get it to work on switch 2 but it does work

>>717963714
that is what I was trying to say

>>717963714
that is good to know, and honestly it would have been strange if it did not

>>717957165
>>717958226
Luigi's Mansion without pressure sensitive triggers is gonna feel so wrong. I haven't played the 3D All-Stars version of Sunshine with the remapped triggers, but I imagine it's not that great?

>>717964154
>I haven't played the 3D All-Stars version of Sunshine with the remapped triggers, but I imagine it's not that great?
It's actually not bad at all

>>717963526
>If Miyamoto made a five second youtube video telling everyone to cut off an arm with zero context
Why do anti-tendies type like this? It's always chopping off limbs and slitting throats with you niggas

>>717958853
Spanning releases causes more discussion and advertising for each individual game to happen, hence why the thread we're speaking in even exists. When you dump everything at once everyone just gravitates to the same tired handful of games they already played before while rarely giving a chance to anything else, and all discussion dies out after a month..

>>717961515
Gotta save September for Mario 40th E

>>717964302
what do you expect from third worlders?

>>717964302
nah, niggas are all about those drive bys, this is just white boy behavior

>>717956695 (OP)
Chibi-robo was such a vibe, man.
You're just a little robot man running around some small family's house cleaning stuff up. No stakes, no stress, just chill cleaning up and getting into some hijinks while you're doing it.
Plus, being small in an otherwise normal sized environment is always cool.

>>717958853
Dropping stuff over time rather than all at once generates more interest in the long run.
For example, if tomorrow they dropped Smash 64 and some random small game nobody has heard of, everyone would just play Smash 64.
If the memegame is the "month"'s game, people are more likely to try it out since it isn't being instantly overshadowed by something else.

>>717963526
>>717963697
And yet not a single one of those fans would be more pathetic than you screeching, seething snoys for letting a fucking toy company live RENT FREE in your mind for 25+ years and counting.

>>717962541
It's just a solid script too, especially knowing when to do narrator cuts.
>Whoa... Quick! Start the video! START THE VIDE-
>What you mean it's not funn-

>>717963526
>Nintendo is a religion to its core audience.

Truth Nuke

>>717956695 (OP)
I'm happy for anyone who wanted to play the game, but...
>over a decade late
>locked behind the premium subscription
>series is still dead until confirmed otherwise
I don't care what the marketing wants you to believe. These NSO drops are depressing more than anything.

>>717965206
Nintendo still tracks downloads of the apps and playtime, they may also pay attention to the views and likes in the YouTube trailer, this is the closest you will ever get to prove to the company that there's an audience for Chibi-Robo (and not the Ziplash shit)

>>717965020
>>717963526
so deep, really makes you think

>>717965324
>implying any of that matters
Nah, i’ll stick with the emulators. Even if they did bring it back it wouldn’t be with the original devs. Thank you, but you can take your shilling elsewhere

So I guess we'll be getting Mario Sunshine in the middle of the goddamn winter then. I like Chibi Robo but what are they thinking

>>717964302
people enjoying nintendo games upsets to such a degree they have to fantasize about them being violently maimed
basically they aren't well adjusted individuals

the Japanese GameCube nso app doesn't have any exclusive games does it?

>>717965559
no not yet at least

Nintendo cultists make me sick to my stomach. No matter what, they'll defend 80 dollar prices.

>>717965324
>implying I bought this console
>implying I ever paid for NSO Expansion Pak
They aren't selling a product that I want. (You) can partake if you want to. Wouldn't count on it making a difference unless the game gets trendy with kids somehow, which to be fair, could happen. This game would have been received better in 2025 than it was back in 2006.

>>717965559
Nothing yet.
The announced list of titles (Sunshine, Fire Emblem, Colosseum, etc) is the same in JP so far too.

>>717965587
>>717965652
do the other ones still do?

>>717965482
Whatever faggot, go kill yourself since you're that certain that nothing will ever get done or that it will all suck, must be awesome having that perspective in life.

I'll test my chances for a new game.

>>717965783
Yeah the other apps have a lot of regional titles.

>>717965620
Everything should be free otherwise you're a cuck

>>717965862
didn't they add the extra ones to the NA versions of the apps
japan is the only one with exclusives right

>>717965783
yes, for some off hand examples fire emblem games pre-7 mother 3 and SMT 1 and 2 are on the JP service, there's a bunch of others too

>>717965896
There are a lot of western games on there that were never translated to Japanese so no

I wonder when they'll release the Gamecube Mario Partys. I worry they might wait a bit since they're really trying to push this Jamboree Switch 2 Edition
It does upset me though that the N64 ones are broken and the button mappings don't work if you use a gamecube controller. Mario Party 2 worked just fine on the Wii Virtual Console so I don't know what happened there.

>>717966218
they never will because nobody will want to buy the shitty new ones

>>717957389
>>717957537
Clean Sweep is easily the best game in the series

>>717960230
>I wasn't crazy about how it made the entire game about cleaning and shopping
It combined the good ideas of Park Patrol with the original and made cleaning, the main point of the game, something that's incredibly fun and rewarding.

>>717966367
Everyone knows the N64 ones are better than the Gamecube ones so I don't see why that'd be a problem

>>717957986
>Doshin the Giant
only if the English version is 60hz

Why wasn't Chibi-Robo able to build up a fanbase like Earthbound was despite being more accessible?

>>717966652
me
*holds up spork*

>>717966739
no smash bros rep

It didn't stop nintendo for putting links awakening and pokemon mystery dungeon on NSO

>>717957020
I played park patrol all the way through as well, it was pretty fun. I tried the third game on a flash card but at the time I couldn't figure out how to progress (I was in high school). I just want him to be revived and get a new game..

>>717966603
Dumbass, games without widescreen support look kike that, games like perfect dark, banjo kazooie and others with widescreen support take the entire screen

I am the only person in here that wants Kururin Squash on the service

>>717966616
i hope they at least update pikmin 2 and 3 with gameshare eventually, i want a way to play their multiplayer modes online and that seems like the only way it'll happen

>>717966993
In Japanese or English?

>>717966579
The fact that even the first Pikmin is nowhere in sight probably speaks for itself.

>>717966739
because its a game about saving a financially troubled but loving family while earthbound is a game about being raised by a single mom

>>717966035
like what

>>717966218
what's broken about them

>>717958853
Consistent dripfeed is preferable to just Netflix style binge formats where they just drop everything at once. The former allows games that normally wouldn't get a spotlight to have a chance to shine, while the latter does nothing but dissuade people from trying 90 percent of the content provided.

Note how I said CONSISTENT dripfeed, though. Switch 1 Era NSO was absolutely was not that, and was one of the biggest issues with the service.

>>717967545
>StarTropics
>R.C. Pro-Am
>Snake Rattle 'n' Roll

>Claymates
>Earthworm Jim 2
>Killer Instinct
>Battletoads Double Dragon

>Alone in the Dark (GB)
>Quest for Camelot

>Dr. Mario 64
>Pokemon Puzzle League
>Killer Instinct Gold

There's plenty more, but mostly minor third party stuff that most would probably consider filler, but there's definitely a surprising amount of games we got that Japan didn't.

Turok 1 and 2 were also exclusive to us for a while, but Japan's NSO actually got them added sometime later, which is the first time those games ever got released there. (They're still in English though, so same shit we get when they throw a Japan only game on ours without any translation)

>>717957165
Gamecube Pokemon games are a big surprise. I wonder if they'll connect with Pokemon Home.

>>717960219
>...Fuck memes aside, Reggie really was fucking awful.
I told you niggers for years he was a worthless spiteful antiwhite spic.
All he wanted was to rob fame off Miyamoto and Iwata to build himself up.
Fucker did NOTHING to form Nintendo as a brand or company yet had the gall to always push himself as important or vital. All while debying NoA region games, collector editions, further knee capping amiibo releases, infesting NoA with antiwhite shit huffers, etc.
Utter scum.

>>717956695 (OP)
thank you for the drip feed content, nintendo. I totally can't get any gamecube game with better quality anywhere else, I have to wait for your slow ass to grace me with one game a month.

>>717966035
>>717968041
Yessir, we have all the slop shovelware and reskins to ourselves. Aren't we lucky? HAHAHA...fuck you Nintendo.

>>717967579
The Z button doesn't work and you can't remap gamecube controller to try to fix it.
Personally, I feel like the gamecube's Z button should just activate the N64's Z button, but that's just me

>>717967458
>>717966616
arent the releases going by year? what year did pikmin release?

>>717968261
so it's just the gamecube controller not mapping right?

>>717968448
Just one month after the Gamecube launched.

Summer is almost over and they still haven't added Sunshine
I get the feeling the retards at Nintendo wont give us Luigi's Mansion until after Halloween too

>>717968448
>arent the releases going by year?
no, we don't even have luigi's mansion

>>717968543
yeah, but its really disappointing

>>717968931
LM is set for halloween but no sunshine until next year

>>717968041
hilariously Nintendo is sitting on a JP ROM of Dr. Mario 64 but because they are so dead set on NSO releases being previously released games they will never give it to Japan

>>717957165
how do toddlers get excited paying for 20 year old games that have been perfectly emulated for over half that time?

>>717968931
September is Super Mario's anniversary month, and since this year's the 40th, they're probably gonna hold some batch of stuff to do for it, so I wouldn't be surprised if Sunshine gets shadowdropped or something.

>>717957437
The unlocalized game has a fan translation though. I thought it was pretty good.

>>717958853
Contrary to popular belief, not everyone who owns current Nintendo hardware was actually alive or cognizant during the GC era of gaming, so staggering releases to one per month makes sense so those people can have their time to just play that game.

>>717960230
Pretty sure I remember there being a romhack for the game specifically to add the ability to skip through the text.

Luigi's Mansion should of been on NSO launch. It's a two hour game

>>717956695 (OP)
finally, the switch 2 has one good game

>>717957165
God, I can't wait for Colloseum to come out and for nostalgiafags to realize how fucking shit it is.

>>717973636
HOLY KINO

really wish it wasn't touch screen only, makes it unpleasant to emulate
