The community has made it clear that it would be willing to purchase fan-favorite games outright if Nintendo simply offered the ability to do so. While it is nice to be able to play some of these classics via Nintendo Switch Online, fans argue that games like Ninja JaJaMaru-kun just aren’t cutting it, especially when so many beloved titles like Earthbound or Super Mario RPG aren’t available to play on Switch. That philosophy seems evident in Nintendo’s recent update, which includes obscure games like Super Baseball Simulator 1.000, Caveman Ninja, Magical Drop2, and Spanky’s Quest for the SNES, and Ninja JaJaMaru-kun for the NES - all of which are playable on Switch through the Nintendo Switch Online service.įans weren’t happy following the announcement. “Nintendo probably sees games in the Nintendo Online catalog as a sweetener for its Online subscription, rather than a primary monetization model for its fan-favorite titles,” Bailey tells Digital Trends.ĥ titles are coming to the #SNES & #NES – #NintendoSwitchOnline collection on 5/26! While some fans see this is the driving reason to subscribe to Nintendo Online, Bailey sees it as working the other way around.
