Nintendo Switch Online gets three new GBA games this month



A new collection of retro games will soon be made available to subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online. This time around, the focus is on GBA games, with three titles set to be added next week. Super Mario Advance, Super Mario Advance 2, and Super Mario Advance 3 will all be playable on NSO starting on May 26th. The three games are ports of Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Island, respectively.

While I'm usually a staunch defender for Nintendo, I don't really understand the reason why they chose those three games to port when they should have chosen some of the other notable games from the GBA

Well, they have been launching very slowly good games. These are good versions of those games but they are already available so, they don't feel so good.

These could be the ultimate versions of these games if they decramped the view... Well we'll have to rely on hackers as usual I guess.

it's kinda weird to have little to no third party support on the expansion pack consoles (aside from sega genesis, of course)
RIGHT? I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I don't mind them pushing the first-party stuff, but we need more than just that. Sega's an easy choice to get the rights to their GBA games. They should start there.

What do you mean by "decramped the view"? You get a few choices of screen sizes in the settings, and even pixel filters. The GBA has a funky screen size and ratio that doesn't scale great, so Nintendo tried their best to make sure it looks good while integer scaling it.

    ONE MILLION DOLLA

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.

    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556

    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.

    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good

    Not getting dragged into that again.

    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
