Nintendo Online NES update brings custom Zelda ROM

Missing Number · Oct 11, 2018

wake me when nintendo starts droppin professional mods to games that add things like multiplayer, achievements and challenges
Super Mario Bros. w/ "New" features
The Legend of Zelda w/ "Four Swords"
Metroid w/ friends
Donkey Kong & Jr. vs Mario & Luigi (DK & Jr. aim barrels as Jumpman and Other Jumpman tries to save Paula)
Megaman Rock & Roll

i know im supposed to see the cup half full with the advent of a hack, but i dont, im pessimistic, it is nintendo after all

Isn't that just the same stuff you can get by entering a certain name for your save file, except by default..? *confused* What's unique about this??? lol

Good idea, they should add achievements for the NES games ^^
In the future, SNES and N64.

So it's just an easy. How hard is it to port wii games to the switch they already build one for the nvidia shield.

Probably easy. Pretty sure the price for Switch Online will go skyrocket when Wii games will be there.
I don't think we will see Wii games ever happen on the Switch anyway.

Ofcourse with hacks, but I'm talking about Nintendo's perspective.

I've given up on this ever being appealing (NES Online).

Still laughing about this one!

- A 'special' version of Zelda 1 - fukkin hell fire.... they're either 'special' themselves or one of the higher ups at Nin told someone to turn the trolling level up to 11....

In all seriousness, I don't get the appeal of NES online. I suppose since Retroarch kicks its ass in UI it's less appealing (I mean, this is GBAtemp.) It also doesn't help that Nintendo is incapable of making good rom hacks. Perhaps they'll prove me wrong and put in some more effort on their next "special" version, but...as it is they cannot compete with homebrew emulators.

I would like to clarify a few things for those who are unaware. Although your ruppes start at 255 they still go down when you spend them so are not infinite. The only possible difference in the way the regular game plays is that it seems to be more generous with item drops (Although that may be my imagination). Other than that it just seems like a save state with a few overworld items, upgrades and heart containers collected in advance to make things a bit easier. I suspect it may just be a save state even more due to the fact that opening the game doesn't take you to the title screen, but straight into the overworld at the point you start the game.

Yup it is not "special" at all just a save file.

You may think that Nintendo has been slacking off when it comes to classic titles, but rest assured, they're on the case. Earlier today, Nintendo updated their classic NES game library, adding three exciting titles. NES Open Tournament Golf, Solomon's Key, and Super Dodge Ball. Before you sit back down, though, Nintendo has also added a bonus NES title — The Legend of Zelda (Special). This is a 'souped up' Zelda ROM hack that gives the player unlimited rupees and item upgrades right from the get-go. It sits on the game selection menu as its own title, and serves as a way for younger or less experienced players to enjoy the classic title.

Update: Nintendo has now confirmed that there will be more titles similar to the newly added Special Edition of Zelda, designed to offer new entry points into classic titles.

That game was hard as hell

This new Zelda "Special" doesn't serve much purpose unless OP missed something. Getting the items, collecting rupees is all what Zelda's about. Taking away all that gives this game very little fun left.

Would have been cool if they actually put in some effort and maybe throwing out a hack which had a different world, items, enemies and music.

you mean like putting your name as zelda instead or a random one

I'd like to see anyone make it to anywhere in Zelda without a guide tbh

With retro arch you can play any Nes, snes & genesis game (and much more)
A Zelda hack means nothing and their paid online isn't worth a penny

Super Dodgeball is freakingly flickery. I have no idea how people played it back then

sucks because it looks fun too. I just can't stand how it performs.
