Some had hoped that in surpassing 100-game threshold, Nintendo would opt to release something special. Its a piece of nostalgia that many gamers would like.

While one might say it’s generous of Nintendo to offer such a treasure trove of games for Nintendo Switch Online’s comparatively modest subscription price, many fans are still holding out for a few of those special gems.īoth the cult hit EarthBound and fan-favorite Super Mario RPG were included as part of the Super NES Classic Edition library (and Nintendo’s Virtual Console service), but those games have not gotten a Switch release. Players digging around in the services menus rediscovered Earthbounds complete players guide, which Nintendo posted as a free PDF online. Pokémon (yellow and crystal are the best of their generations with bonus content at same price, so get those) Donkey Kong country 1-3. This number includes games from both the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Super NES on Nintendo Switch. Super Metroid (I’d only recommend this Metroid, the other 2 are very outdated, with great remakes that should be played instead) Earthbound. The two games will be added alongside three others - Spanky’s Quest, Super Baseball Simulator 1.000, and Caveman Ninja (AKA Joe & Mac) - bringing the total number of Switch Online classic games to 104. The May update brings color-matching puzzle game Magical Drop 2 and old-school platformer Ninja JaJaMaru-kun to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. And while Nintendo didn’t add EarthBound and Super Mario RPG like some fans had long hoped, there is an upside: Two games will be coming stateside for the first time. The SNES downloads will be limited to New Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo Switch Online will boast over 100 classic games starting May 26. Super Nintendo favorites Pilotwings, Super Mario World, and F-Zero will be available for download from the Nintendo eShop beginning today.
