Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack: How to use suspend points with N64 and Sega Genesis games

A suspend point is a function where you can save, or suspend, your game at a specific moment.
That way, if you get a game over or close the game, you can pick up exactly where that suspend point was created.
While most N64 and Sega Genesis games have save points, some can be inconvenient.

He almost made it to 2022 but he fumbled the ball.
...
Sorry if that was insensetive. I dunno much on american rugby. And New Year is just three days from now.

Wikipedia doesn't say how he died. I pressume he passed away naturally?

[Berto]

I guess. The information of his death came from NFL and NFL only said he died unexpectedly and did not detail a cause.

I dunno much on american rugby too, soccer is much popular here.

In yet you call it soccer than by it's proper british name, kicky-kicky-circle-net.

We called it "Sepak Bola" actually,
no one uses the words "Football" or "Soccer" here.

But those "Pre Evolution Soccers" game series that very popular here
(all of Playstation rentals here have them)
made "soccer" word more popular than "football".

Newly Translated 1993 Interview with Yuji Naka, Yu Suzuki, and Kan Naito

Beep: Do you yourself play video games?

Suzuki: No, I don’t. That always disappoints people (laughs). For example, we had a new employee join us, and he had spent something like ¥200,000 on Outrun. He came up to me all nervous and said, “Mr.- Mr. Suzuki? Wh- what kind of games do you like?” So, I replied, “Sorry, I don’t really play games,” and he was like, “O- Oh…” (laughs). But yeah, I don’t play many games. I like to make them. I’m so busy with the things I’m working on.
