Nintendo Adds Four New SNES Games to Its Subscription Offerings

In a recent update, the Nintendo Switch Online service has expanded its SNES game library with four new titles from both the Super NES (SNES) and the Super Famicom system.

Here’s an overview of these latest additions:


Which of these games have you played before or are you most excited about trying? What classic titles would you like Nintendo to add next?

I don’t get why they haven’t added mario paint yet. It feels like that game would be a goldmine for social media. Can you imagine what people would make now with the little music maker?

Yes. And it would be nothing but the creepy baby face sound.

uh eh

They’re too lazy to modify the rom to use a controller instead of a mouse, like hackers have already done.

They add weird games. I don’t understand this service.

They add what they can get the license to at a decent price. IP holders of the good stuff want to sell it separately.

I’ve played Battletoads and Double Dragon. It’s exactly what it sounds like, and not the type of game that keeps me interested for very long.

I have never even heard of any of the others.

EDIT: I looked them up, the other three were Japanese games. Which I suppose is fair. It’s not like the Switch is an American console, their Japanese customers probably remember some of these games.

Still not excited at all about Battletoads and DD. When you mash up one game (BT) with the game it ripped off (DD), you’re not going to see much innovation.

Cosmo Gang the Puzzle was released here as Pac-Attack and the Dodgeball game is the SNES version of the NES game Super Dodgeball (would that make it Super Super Dodgeball here?). Big Run is a SNES port of the little-known arcade game.

Battletoads and Double Dragon has nothing to do with Double Dragon gameplay-wise, it’s just more Battletoads with Double Dragon characters.

For some I’m sure it might have value but I can’t imagine subscribing to a service to play retro games. Dozens of excellent retro handhelds exist with no monthly fee to fiddle with.

Many of the 1st party Nintendo games go for $30-$100 on the used market. Plus buying something to play it will be at least $100. If you are actively playing a lot of them it could be worth the subscription.

Yeah I suppose if the convenience is worth it. To me it’s odd to rent anything - especially retro games.
