This underlines Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa’s earlier promise thatNintendo Switch Online will receive more contentover the course of 2022. But since the service already offers a huge array of Nintendo classics, the company needed to start looking at less ubiquitous, yet well-regarded titles from history.
While some are hoping to see themultiplayer features of oldPokemongames revivedon the Nintendo Switch, it goes without saying that this would be a significantly more complex endeavor than just porting over another NES or SNES game to the system. It’s not strange to see that Nintendo isn’t too eager to jump into projects such as this, especially sincePokemon ScarletandVioletshould be coming out towards the end of the year.
Regardless, everything suggests that Nintendo Switch Online is set to continue expanding as time goes on. Naturally, some players are still wondering about thevalue of the Switch Online Expansion Pack, but with more than 100 classic Nintendo games on offer, it’s a must-have for fans of retro gaming on Switch.
Now that Nintendo Switch Online added a few extra NES and SNES titles to its roster, an argument could be made thatNintendo should add more GBA games to NSOas well. Game Boy Advance remains one of the most popular gaming devices of all time, and releases such asMetroid: Zero MissionandFinal Fantasy Tactics Advancewould be a perfect fit on the Nintendo Switch.
