And screw you and your luck, but hopefully the same happens to me!

Edit: Not today I guess

Right before I got it I had changed my paraglider for the second time, plus, I showed him two more pictures (besides the Chuchu he asks for during the initial quest) for inspiration. Maybe that did something? I've definitely been scanning MM all this time and it only gave it to me today.

Dang if this didn't kinda work.

No idea if any of these steps are important, but here's what I did.

Went to Hateno in the morning wearing the Fierce Diety set, changed the paraglider to the survey team fabric, flew down to a cooking pot, slept until night. I hypothesized that maybe having the moon out might be important. Went up to the glider again, talked to him but didn't change anything, walked outside, scanned the amiibo, and I finally got it.

Bought ori and the blind forest for $5. Was thinking of buying the sequel will of the wisps, but I saw some posts saying it was laggy and stuttering on the switch. Anyone here play through ori will of the wisps and have issues with it?

This is a really good update of games for the NSO service. Although never heard of Mystery Tower back then.

 

Keep it going Nintendo. Figuring Zelda Oracle of the Ages and Seasons will be another month or two as lots still on Tears of the Kingdom. Hoping Zero Mission for July or even a surprise for later this month. Or maybe we get an N64 title later this month.

I bet the oracle of ages/seasons remake rumor is true and they come out around that time.

In case you're wondering, Mystery Tower was only released in Japan before this and went by the name Tower of Babel there, so there's more info on it here:

I was just looking for more information on Mystery Tower; wanted to try it out. Thanks

Glad we finally got Harvest Moon over here.

Pretty solid lineup for nso with this batch of games.

I would love that rumor to be true for remakes of those titles done Link's Awakening style.

 

So the thought is releasing the two originals on NSO would build hype for the remake?

[mdm]

thought hype, yes

Got excited to see some 20% off promotions or $10 off some Switch games. Deal doesn't seem to work, though. Amazon chat page says customers are having an issue with a promotion, and to basically leave them alone for the moment. 

 

One example:

I see nothing about a promotion.

Ah, I see they're gone. 

One promotion on the page advertised 20% off 1 item. 

Another promotion on the same page advertised $10 off one item. 

Neither promotion would work. I contacted Amazon and was told that I could place an order and 20% would be refunded in the future. I decided to pass.

Are you sure it wasn’t a promotion tied to a credit card?  Like this Citi add a card and get $10 off?  https://www.doctorof...-code-22citi10/

I clicked the link not too long after it was posted and opened in an incognito tab, and there was definitely some promotional wording there. It almost looked like placeholder text, something like "test identify". They even had a "how does it work" popup. I didn't think to get a screenshot.

[spoderman]

I saw the promo earlier this morning. It was clearly a glitch. In the terms it even said that someone from Amazon will call you lol.

Big update with new characters, unlocks, and more is out now and it's half off on sale:

I'm streaming those new NSO additions for NES, SNES, and Game Boy if you want to see them in action.

 

Edit: Here's the archive.

 

Mystery Tower (NES) is a solid puzzle game that takes a bit to get the hang of its techniques, so check out that strategy wiki walkthrough that explains the mechanics pretty well and has a guide if you're getting stumped on a stage. This is a good game for the rewind and save states to undo mistakes as you figure it out.

 

Master Blaster: Enemy Below is fine, though I've not played any of the other games in the series to help me know if this GB game is a solid adaptation of the original games' mechanics. It can get frustrating just wandering around areas and having enemies respawn so much to wear your health down very quickly in some areas.

 

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble is a great Kirby spinoff. They adapt the motion controls of the original game to the Switch's gyro, so it works pretty well. This is another game where the rewind makes it easy to undo mistakes and bad play to be a bit more enjoyable.

 

Harvest Moon seems neat for what it is, though this is obviously the first game in the series and is a bit rough around the edges. Many of the later games in the series and various other games influenced by it are probably more accessible for people like me that never played this.

I know it's probably not any good but had to get Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Ultimate Edition for $10 with free shipping

Digital version also on sale for $7.50 + $3 if you want the DLC to make it "ultimate".

I'm planning to get the NSO Expansion family plan next week and was looking for people to go in on it with me; is there any particular place to ask or is here okay?

Do you happen to know if there's any big difference between this and the vita version?
