I really like PSO1, Elder Scrolls, weird old games, prog music, mac and cheese, and other things but I'm really bad at remembering stuff when I want to make a list
I wish I could be isekai'd into a world that sucked slightly less

it's extremely cool when i have to connect a portable game console to the internet so it can phone home and ask if it's okay for me to play a 40-year-old game

like i get that the NSO stuff is part of their subscription service but surely there is a better way they could handle this that won't bite me in the ass when i'm somewhere with poor or no internet access? like maybe not putting 40-year-old games behind a subscription paywall?

fuck!! while i'm here, it pisses me off that a company as big and overflowing with cash as Nintendo just doesn't bother localizing any of the Japanese games they release on NSO. like English-speaking fans have been waiting for years to see more Starfy games, and when we finally get them, they're just the original unaltered Japanese ROMs. you want to enjoy the story? you want to navigate the menus? uhhh idk use Google Translate or something, idiot. we're too busy throwing money at our massive legal team to give a shit. by the way, translation hacks are illegal

as someone who does not mind playing the JP ver of games due to the little I can read for simpler games and such I find it very fucking weird they like, learned to do LUA shit to overlay a translation of FE1 during the brief anniversary window they put it up as a purchase... and never used LUA or hacks to overlay text or even give a basic guide/hint for any of the JP only games they dumped on the NA NSO service

Murasame or Mystery of Atlantis? not needed at all, just minor JP text. Sugoi Hebereke or Joy Mech Fight? eeeeh, menus are weird. Kirby Super Star Stacker and WC98? Oh cmon there's literally a story with text!

Then starfy games, and only starfy games being in the NSO GBA update for the month comes and is just incredibly fucking bizarre. Those games are not like if they threw Kuruin II or F-Zero Climax untranslated. They have fetch quests and other shit to deal with! It makes no sense why they'd just... halfass things.

Unless JP apps gets our weird shit like Startropics or Eliminator Boat Duel or something in exchange I'm just confused why Nintendo doesn't bother to localize anything or even give a hint in the game description; if they drop Mother 3 GBA in Japanese on the US NSO app I will lose my mind lmao
