^That part of the NES app on the Switch?
I don't think so, at least not on the American version, I know the Japanese one (which apparently you can access too from what I heard, though I don't know how) has different games so it could be there. I'm playing it through "other" means, like a dastardly criminal.

Speaking of NSO, they added Banjo-Tooie recently, I know you're a Banjo guy. Hopefully this means Conker's Bad Fur Day is coming eventually, there's already lots of Rareware games on there, including another M-Rated one (Perfect Dark).

(*gasp of unmitigated horror*)

...I still love all that old Rare stuff, but it's all party to 'Rare Replay' on XOne. Thanks for the tip, though.

I'm trying out Metal Wolf Chaos XD, since I'm feeling patriotic! I'm not a huge Fromsoft fan, the only game I liked from them which I've tried is Lost Kingdoms (way underrated, unlike the Dark Souls series), but so far I think I'll add this to the shortlist.

You know, I got that when I was still working at the grocery store, and I still haven't so much as booted it up.

I started 'Tunic' this afternoon. So far I like it lots. Got that cryptic old Zelda feel.

You know, I appreciate how well-constructed and non-hand-holdy 'Tunic' is, what with you finding the game manual in the game and it being barely written in English, so you have to figure things out mostly on your own, and it makes progress extraordinarily satisfying. On the flipside of that, I'm a moron, so I spend lots of time wandering around aimlessly and not understanding what seem like basic game concepts.

I loved that kind of game design, but I don't have the patience or attention span I used to. Non-hand-holdy design is always more rewarding than arrows pointing you everywhere though, so it's worth drudging through it sometimes for a good game. I kinda had Tunic on my radar but it seems a little too difficult for me.
