If you’ve been eyeing off the SNES Classic, especially now that you can get your hands on one without a Thunderdome-style battle in the middle of JB Hi-Fi, you might want to hold off a tiny bit longer – it looks an awful like they’re coming to Switch Online.
As initially reported by Gizmodo, gamer and modder KapuccinoHeck spotted that the latest update to NES Online features the following list of titles in the code:
Super Mario Kart
Super Soccer
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Demon’s Crest
Yoshi’s Island
Stunt Race FX
Kirby’s Dream Course
Pop’n Twinbee
Star Fox
Contra 3
Kirby Super Star
Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts
Kirby’s Dream Land 3
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Pilotwings
F-ZERO
Star Fox 2
Super Punch-Out!!
The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Super Mario All-Stars
Breath of Fire 2
If that list looks familiar, it’s because a lot of those titles are among the ones included with the SNES Classic.
I was finally able to look around NES Online's strings a bit myself and noticed the sheer amount of SNES games planned.
Here's a list for you folks out there:#NintendoSwitch— ?️?kαpu?️? (@KapuccinoHeck) January 13, 2019
Obviously nothing’s official or announced yet – but Nintendo is clearly setting the stage for more games (and console emulator functionality) on the Online platform.
So if you’ve got a Switch but you’ve been umming and aahhh-ing over the mini SNES, thinking longingly of diving back into The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past in all its pixelly glory, it might be worth holding onto your dollars a little longer. Just to see what happens.
