Quest for Camelot?? What the fuck?
Meester_Tweester
Joy Mech Fight!!! After 30 years, it is available internationally for the first time! Not translated but still more people will play it now 🙂

This is the strangest batch of games I have ever seen grouped together.

I’m still waiting for GBA A Link to the Past
Ok-Leave3121
I wonder if they’ll be more games like Quest for Camelot in the future?

Ok but where the FUCK is Mario Party 3

Better question is why they didn’t release Kirby Super Star Stacker when it came out on the Super Famicom side (that was the same time we had Kirby’s Avalanche as a consolation prize)

A quartet of pretty obscure games. Three of which weren’t released in the US, and one licensed game based upon a movie.
Like, Kirby Star Stacker for the SNES? Quest for Camelot for the Game Boy Color? Downtown Nekketsu March: Super-Awesome Field Day/Downtown Nekketsu Kōshinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundōkai AND Joy Mech Fight for the NES? WHAT?
Strange picks.
Like Quest for Camelot is an Animated Movie set in the world of “The Magic Sword”, which was released on 1998 by Warner Bros. It was a flop, getting 38.1 Million Dollars on a 40 Million Dollar Budget. The Game Boy Color Game was released on the same year. The company who made it, Titus Interactive, went defunct in 2005 and was absorbed by Interplay Entertainment, who is probably best known for Baldur’s Gate and Gex: Enter the Gecko.
And probably the only reason why people know of Joy Mech Fight is because of the fact Sukapon is an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros.
But, who here has heard of that “Downtown Nekketsu March” game?
And Kirby Star Stacker for the SNES? When they have the Game Boy original? *Whet?* I mean, as a Kirby Fan, this is cool and all, but where’s the wider-market appeal of an untranslated Japanese only remake of a Kirby Spinoff game for the Game Boy on the Super Famicom, when the original game it’s a remake of is already on the service and WAS released outside of Japan already?
What a weird wave, being a mix of three obscure, untranslated, never-released-outside-of-Japan games for the Famicom/Super Famicom and an obscure licensed game for the Game Boy Color based upon a animated movie which, by all standards, was a box office bomb and whose creator went bankrupt and was absorbed into the Studio which made Gex.
I mean, according to all known laws of mass-marketability, there is no way that these choices of games on Nintendo Switch Online should make sense. But Nintendo, for some unknown reason, did it anyways. Bizarre.

I’m pretty sure the Japanese games were already available on the Japanese version of the virtual console (if you downloaded the apps off the Japanese eShop instead of the American one) for a while. I know I did so to play Joy Mech Fight over a year ago. There were a bunch of region specific releases.

Looks like there’s no new additions to the Japanese version of the service.
Other than quest for Camelot, everything here was already on the Japanese service.

Since Quest for Camelot is a classic game based on a Warner Bros movie, does this mean there’s a chance for Batman ’89 on NES in the future?

We need more obscure nes games like Mach Rider

The first three of these were already on Japanese NSO.
The Quest for Camelot is curiously Nintendo-published.

I swear, the games they choose for this always make it feel like their holding back good ones for some big event that’s just never going to happen. Like keeping all your ether until the end of the game and never using one.

Quest for Camelot? Really? I get it’s a Nintendo-published game, but no one was asking for this, especially as a movie tie from a bad movie…
Mole Mania? Donkey Kong Land, 1, 2 and 3? Wario Land 2? Wave Race? Mario Land 1?

I’m surprised no one is talking about the fact that they didn’t even translate them

They’ll add anything BUT Chrono Trigger…

So this means that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for GBA, one of the games of all time, has a chance?

“They can’t all be winners” – NSO Team probably
They ran out of games. Plain and simple.
Holy fuck that’s lame
