The Game Boy version of Donkey Kong, also known as Donkey Kong ‘94, was a huge expansion to the original arcade game, featuring many new levels, enemies, and mechanics. It even got a spiritual successor in the form of the first Mario vs. Donkey Kong game. Although these games have their fans, neither title has received a level hack until now. This is a simple hack, featuring only four levels with little else changed, but it should be enough to give those who’ve beaten the game an extra challenge (and perhaps give level designers encouragement to make their own level hacks of this game).

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has cooled expectations around the launch of the Switch in China, reminding investors of the challenge that all consoles have faced in the country.
Speaking to investors following Nintendo's last financial results, Furukawa fielded a string of questions regarding the company's plans for China -- sparked by the news that Tencent had been cleared by the Chinese government to distribute the Switch in the country.
Previously, Nintendo hardware like the DS and 3DS was sold in China under its subsidiary brand, iQue. However, as Furukawa pointed out, "we cannot say these were a great success," and a partnership with Tencent will increase its chances of expansion in the region.
However, even with a company as powerful as Tencent in its corner, Furukawa was keen to pour water on expectations around the Switch's performance."Looking forward, we don't expect our video game business in China to easily expand"
Shuntaro Furukawa
"We recognise that the Chinese market is vast and attractive, but looking forward, we don't expect our video game business in China to easily expand," he continued, emphasising that Nintendo's key markets today have been nurtured over a period of 30 years or more.
A launch window for the Switch still has not been set, he said, so Chinese sales were not included in the company's most recent forecast.
"However, even if it were to be included, we would not anticipate it having a significant effect on overall results for the financial year."
Furukawa positioned the move into China as one aspect of a much broader strategy to grow Nintendo's business beyond its traditional strongholds in Japan, Europe and the Americas. This process, he explained, "is not a short-term plan, but something we want to work on steadily over multiple years."
While China is a huge market for games, Furukawa pointed out that it is not traditionally well suited to the kind of products in which Nintendo specialises. He conceded that "expectations for our business there are probably very high," but expectations and reality can be very different.

Yesterday, we released SX OS v2.7 beta and you guys were quick (as always) to give us some decent feedback.Today, we are back with SX OS v2.7.1 beta. This small bugfix release addresses two important issues:- Older games work again
Some older games failed to boot up on firmware 8. This has been resolved and you should be able to enjoy your full library of games again!
- Booting Original Firmware (OFW) works again
It appears we had a regression with booting original firmware from the SX OS boot menu. We investigated the issue and this should work correctly now.

Physical vs Digital? How about both! Thanks to gcdumptool's latest update you can now dump your Nintendo Switch Game Cards directly to NSP with ease, and it also works on FAT32 microSDs!
Before going into the specific details, let's take a step back and explain exactly what it does in case any of you are wondering. gcdumptool is a homebrew application made by @DarkMatterCore which, as the name implies, allows you to dump your physical Switch games to your microSD. The app takes extra care to make a 1:1 copy of your Game Cards and also includes a few functions to verify your dump after it's done, as it can check it against an online database (provided by NSWDB) or show you the file's CRC32 so you'll be able to compare it against a good known one. Up until now the application could only dump games to XCI, aka the Switch's native Game Card format, and users had to convert them manually and externally if they wanted installable NSPs instead. However, starting from version 1.0.8, this is no longer the case!
While this is already good by itself, the real treat is being able to dump cards directly into split NSPs: this will allow easy dumping on FAT32 microSDs as a lot of Switch games are well over 4 GiB in size (thus going over the filesystem's maximum file size)! It doesn't end there, however, as the app will automatically set the directory's archive bit once done to let title installers treat it as a single file, and that means you'll be able to install your game without doing any extra steps. If you want to join your NSP back to a single file anyways you'll be able to do this easily on your PC, as the format is exactly the same as the one used by splitNSP.

A new month has begun, and that means it’s time to see which classic NES games will be added to the collection of available titles through Nintendo Switch Online. This May will see the addition of three games: Vs. Excitebike, Clu Clu Land, and Donkey Kong JR. Currently, they’re listed as “upcoming” on the official Nintendo website, where subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online will be able to access these games fairly soon, once the reveal video goes live.

Port by @rsn8887.
This is my Switch port of OpenRCT2, a re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. A construction and management simulation video game that simulates amusement park management.
Data files from the original game are required to play this game.
Download: https://github.com/rsn8887/openrct2/releases/latest
Note: I made a very minor update to v1.02. The mouse pointer did not change into the hand when hovering over hotspots in the park, such as the visitors or signs. I also slightly reduced the joystick pointer speed to make it easier to control with the stick.
To update from 1.01 to 1.02, it is enough to just replace the .nro.

Dangan GB is a short simplistic boss-rush/bullet-hell shmup by snorpung and nordloef released for the Game Boy to celebrate the console’s 30th anniversary.
Dangan GB receives a small update containing a few bugfixes. The music has also been balanced a bit. The game drains less battery now, so if you already downloaded the game before and plan to play on real hardware; you might want to snag this revision.
