Map Requests / Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) -...
Last post by JonLeung - November 13, 2026, 10:42:11 PM
I'm surprised I hadn't made this request topic before - so let's remedy this!
We've had success with the bulk request topics to map out all of the games on four Classic Edition/Mini devices - you know, the plug-and-play mini throwback consoles with several built-in classic games - including the NES: Classic Edition, the Super NES: Classic Edition, the Sega Genesis Mini and the Sega Genesis Mini 2. After all, these particular games are more accessible to gamers who may not be familiar with emulation or have the space or the money to obtain original hardware and cartridges.
The 10th anniversary of the NES: Classic Edition earlier this week reminded me of a very similar request topic that I meant to make, but didn't get around to making, until now.
This topic will now list all of the "Nintendo Classics" games included with a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online!
Those subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online (often referred to as just "NSO") get access to the "Nintendo Classics" apps (also colloquially referred to as "NSO", which is odd, as it's a service meant for online play, these classic games are meant to be the bonus, plus the "Nintendo Classics" name came later - but I digress). These apps allow Switch or Switch 2 users to play games from the NES, Super NES, as well as the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. (The Game Boy and the Game Boy Color are grouped together, just like I have here on VGMaps.com.) A higher-tier subscription called the "Expansion Pack" (a throwback to the Nintendo 64's "Expansion Pak") also allows access to Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, and Game Boy Advance games. Switch 2 users specifically (not the original Switch) also get GameCube games. Virtual Boy games are available for either platform but require the cardboard or plastic peripheral. Though not necessary, Switch-compatible controllers resembling the original NES, Super NES, N64, GameCube, and Genesis controllers are available from Nintendo's store which help add to the retro experience (including menu sound effects). Though some Japanese games are included in these apps, one can also use a profile on their Switch or Switch 2 with the location set to "Japan" to access the Japanese eShop and download the Japanese versions of these apps, meaning that a few more Famicom, Super Famicom, Mega Drive, and Japanese-exclusive games on most other platforms are also available. Some games not originally released in English now are, like Sin And Punishment (N64), or weren't originally released at all, like Dragon Hopper (Virtual Boy).
But you probably know all that, and the whole point of this topic is to highlight the games that haven't yet been mapped, and encourage them to be mapped. Like in my personal requests topic, I will include thanks to those that map them, or have already mapped them. As Nintendo adds more games in the future, I will keep updating these lists.

VGMaps Social Board / Tiled Map Editor's Updated to ...
Last post by Cyartog959 - November 11, 2026, 04:38:30 PMHello, people in the VGMaps community!
Just thought those of you familiar with using Tiled Map Editor, as well as those not heard of it yet, to let you know that level map editor's been updated to 1.12(already 1.12.2, because of more fixes)!
Here's the site's news page link posted in March 2026 - Tiled 1.12 Update News
I've read the update notes, and it adds redone custom properties to allow vast improved flexibility in editing properties more, and list values in them, so anyone using it can no longer utilize tedious bypasses, like using comma-separated strings or numbered property values.
Remember classic dungeon crawlers and RPGs where beating monsters grant loot, such as gold and items, rare for tougher monsters or exclusives from bosses? Well, when working in such games, that became much easier!
Or, when doing platform games with particular blueprints not touched in too long, that covers it, too!
And, yes, that includes dialogue lines and voice clips for bosses, too, kind of like how bosses spoke in Super Mario Advance when you got close enough to confront them.
There's loads of flexible possibilities you can do when you create custom properties in different layers and their types!
There's also blending mode for layers added, so you can utilize different effects, such as lighting from fixtures, lamps, etc., to provide brightness in dark places, and a new capsule object shape to go with other shapes when doing object layers, and new Oblique map orentation that allows X and/or Y axis to be skewed. I think that's the kind of skewing is what many remember from Sonic Battle.
As far as engine feature compatibility goes, I don't think Tiled 1.12's additions are compatible with them yet. I think they may need to be updated to support such flexibility and more.
If any of you have been using 2D game engines, such as Unity, GameMaker, Unreal(yes, it still does 3D games, but I think 2D game development support's been added for quite a while) Hatch Game Engine, Construct, or Retro Engine(which, I don't think has Tiled, nor its changes, supported... at least, not yet), please do spend some time to contact the developers to add in changes from Tiled 1.12 in later updates to have their engines and their exports catch up on feature compatibility.
For those of you that have Tiled, update it to 1.12, and give those new changes a go! Just click "Download" to use its installer. Mind you, these changes will take some getting used to.
There's still loads more that need improving, such as needing a brand-new renderer to handle lots more bigger maps, fixed or infinite, even when using over 16GB RAM, but, from my perspective, donations are still needed there to allow such changes to happen more frequently.
You can provide extra monthly donations if you wish, or donate big enough to become additional contributors to Tiled. That would really help.
Have fun with Tiled's new changes out there!

Map Requests / Re: JonLeung's Requests
Last post by JonLeung - November 11, 2026, 01:22:16 PMGeorge s has mapped a classic arcade game, that I'm surprised hasn't been mapped until now, and that game is Dig Dug!
With George s's submission of the arcade version of 1942 earlier today (fitting as today is Veterans' Day in the US, or Remembrance Day in Canada), and coincidentally a day after zagato blackfist's submission of the NES version of 1942, we now have 400 arcade games here on VGMaps.com!
Well, 401 now, with Dig Dug.
(...Really, it took 400 other arcade games to be mapped before Dig Dug?)
(I was confused about the count because I have 403 when I search for "*(Arcade).png" in the "Titles" folder, but that's because Windows 11 doesn't seem to handle punctuation in the search bar, as it's including "ArcadeFullOfCats(PC).png" and "ArcadeSmashHits(MasterSystem).png" which doesn't exactly match my search string of "*(Arcade).png" which really should pick up filenames with "Arcade" only if immediately followed with a ").png"... so stupid how that works. Or DOESN'T work...)
Thanks again for your interest in arcade games, George s!

Map Gab / Re: NES Classic Edition - full...
Last post by JonLeung - November 10, 2026, 11:05:46 PMCan't believe that the NES: Classic Edition is ten years old as of today.
Since then, I've gotten the Classic Edition/Minis of not just the NES, but the Super NES, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, and TurboGrafx 16.
They're neat little devices, always expected a Game Boy or Nintendo 64 to follow, but after all these years, probably not. Especially with such games available on "Nintendo Classics" apps that Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can play on their Switch or Switch 2.
Who still loads up their NES: Classic Edition from time to time?

Last post by ReyVGM - November 08, 2026, 01:39:38 PMQuote from: mechaskrom on November 03, 2026, 10:40:46 AMAwesome! It's exciting to see more emulators with script support.
I tried porting some of my scripts and most seemed to work fine. Some things are missing, such as the ability to specify a file path in emu.screenshot() and functions for toggling layers on or off, but it's a good start.
I'll definitely keep an eye on this emulator and maybe make some feature requests via its github.
The author added those features now. You can use the nightly version of the emu if you don't want to wait for the final release. See the screenshots.
What other ones do you think are missing?

Map Requests / Re: JonLeung's Requests
Last post by JonLeung - November 07, 2026, 09:42:58 AMGuard Master has mapped another puzzle game, Mario no Super Picross (J), for the Super NES! Well, technically Super Famicom.
And other platforms, too, because apparently, in its rereleases on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console, and the Switch and Switch 2 Nintendo Classics app, a handful of puzzles were changed. Marilyn Monroe (Mario Level 6-J), Tetris (Wario Level 2-B), and The Scream (Wario Level 5-L), okay, fine, copyright or whatever, sure.
But Wario's face (Mario Extra-M) changing by a tiny amount sure is an odd thing to change...
Thanks again for coming through, Guard Master!
And this came a few days after Princess Eev submitted maps for Picross NP: Vol. 1 (J) through to Picross NP: Vol. 8 (J) - that's a lot of 16-bit Nintendo Picross!

Please request that on the github soon. The author is pretty quick to add stuff like that.
