There’s a new 2.2.0 update for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app.
Nintendo continues to bolster its Switch Online + Expansion Pack service with new game releases. Today, the focus is on the base tier, with a whopping seven games added to the NES library.
Pretty lousy lineup, considering how long we've waited since the last NES update.
Do we really need Golf when we already had NES Open Tournament Golf, which is almost identical in graphics and gameplay?
Very interesting tidbit I read in the Youtube comments. I've yet to fact check it, but if true, I guess Golf's inclusion is pretty awesome in honor of Iwata's life.
Here's the tidbit:
"Golf was originally hidden in the Switch's system and you could access it by holding the joy-cons and performing the gesture Satoru Iwata used to make in directs. NES Golf was one of his favorite games, and Nintendo added it in as an easter-egg to honor his life.
Nintendo unfortunately patched this secret out. This was because in Japan, it was tradition to place a recently deceased’s person’s favorite things in a special box that is not allowed to open. The hidden game was essentially a digital version of this ritual, and it’s clear that Nintendo wanted Iwata’s life to be honored in a special way by giving the switch a secret game that only they knew about."
Nintendo's Direct broadcast airs later today.
Pretty lame actually. I checked it outand the only difference I see are 3 boxes to scroll through.
There's probably something more going on in the backend prepping for something in the future if they gave it a 3.0.0
Mega Man's Game Boy series slides onto Nintendo Switch Online today!.
This makes me really happy because I own all of the Mega Man collections on Switch, but it always bothered me that they excluded these OG Gameboy titles.
Hopefully they'll add Mega Man Xtreme 1&2 for GBC later on, bc those were also missing from the collections.
5 MegaMan titles at once, now that's some good update, it's time for me to bring out the hopium for a new MegaMan
Maybe this means Mega Man 64 is around the corner, too. Would be a fun addition on top of these.
I can’t believe this leaked from the direct today! Huge news!
ow man, i wanted shin megami tensei 2 aswell ha. but its never been localised.
