​

Are you ready for more NES games? Because it's a brand new month, which means a brand new pair of retro games are about to be added to the catalog of playable NES titles for those that subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online. This month sees the addition of Kung-Fu Heroes and Vice: Project Doom, on August 21st. The former is a 1986 port of a 1984 arcade game, which is a beat-em-up that supports coop play with up to two players. Meanwhile, the latter is a side-scrolling action-platformer, with a few slight similarities to a more well-known NES title, Ninja Gaiden. Vice: Project Doom was developed by Aicom, a subsidiary of Sammy Industries, and Kung-Fu Heroes was created by a company now known as Culture Brain.

Kung-Fu Heroes: Monsters have taken Princess Min-Min and the 10 treasures of the land, and the people have fallen into sorrow. Only Kung-Fu Masters Jacky and Lee can save the princess and retrieve the treasures! Their journey will take them to eight different castles filled with hosts of traps and obstacles. Use punches and the Miracle Kick to defeat the enemies. You will need quick wits and lightning reflexes to make it to the last castle!

Vice: Project Doom: There exists a group of undercover detectives who dare stand up to the evil in the world... They are known as Vice. Officer Quinn Hart, a member of Vice, is on the case and after the truth. High-speed car chases, action-packed battles employing three types of weapons and a mode with three 3D rail-shooting stages all bring this cyberpunk world to life.

You DO realize emulation through emulators IS legal...right?
Just because it is sold in a box from nintendo, does not mean it is more legal than things like dolphin.

Obviously.
Even if I own my copies of the OG, the NS with its ARM is so underpowered, emulation on the go is at best painful if not impossible. Some talented people are doing there best though.

You understand I was talking about an official release, optimized and all, right ?
One can dream

If i remember correctly, there are some wii releases on the Nvidia shield somewhere in china (mario galaxy nvidia shield should yield some results on google), so emulation is very possible on the switch.

They startin' to load NES shovelware, SNES games when?

 

[Xandrid]

Super lame, when are they gonna release gba games or anything other than snes/nes?

Everyone keeps asking when- do you really think anyone here knows as said if everyone emailed nintendo today over 1000 views here then you may get some answers

That was a rhetorical question, of course no one really knows

Don't need it. NES emulator on Switch is priceless.

 

[Enryx25]

Just how obscure are these releases gonna get before they finally start giving us SNES games?

September so users have a reason to renew their annual subscription.

Want to play on my Arcade Cabinets? Hit me up on Discord

A man of taste.

Offtopic but it is a serious offer. Everybody* is welcome in my "private Arcade", especially since the arcade culture is dead in germany. We had a big Arcade in Cologne, but that one sold most of their good cabinets.
During their golden days they had DDR Extreme, Dancing Stage EuroMix2, ITG, a version of PIU, F-Zero AX (!!!) and even a After Burner Climax, Ouutrun 2 SP (4 player Link-Mode!) and even a Tekken 6 I think...now they only have some generic Light gun Shooters and many, many Slot Machines.

The other one is in Berlin and is still in "buildup mode", aquiring cabinets and stuff like that. They are making good progression though.

*16 years and older. Should also be able to behave like a normal, human beeing and play "respectfully" with my equipment - the hardware was expensive after all

eshop didn't have enough shovelware so they decided to make us pay monthly for more shovelware from the 80's

Better servers are probably... never

I dunno about that Kung-Fu game, but IIRC Vice is actually pretty good for an NES game.

How about some SNES games?

Nintendo loves milking NES games, it seems. Pfft, I find them to be boring.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Never heard of either of these. That doesn't necessarily mean they're not worthy inclusions though. Variety is usually a good thing.
I honestly don't care much about NES games, I grew up with SNES and GBC so NES was a bit before my time. I hope they'll give us some SNES games soon. It has to happen sooner or later.
The Switch has been out for years already, and while I don't know how long they plan for it to last before releasing their next console, I hope we get SNES games sooner rather than later so that they can get a good amount of them released before the end of the Switch's life cycle. I don't need another system for playing retro games on, but SNES and N64 are the two Nintendo platforms I keep coming back to the most in the form of emulation, so they're the ones I'm most interested in.
Well, apart from GameCube and Wii, but I'm not expecting Nintendo to release those on the Switch. Ports/remakes of Skyward Sword, Paper Mario TTYD and Super Paper Mario would do me nicely though.

what major games are still missing from the catalog?

I wish they would bring this one back:

Childhood favorite!

Everyone wants a re-release/localization of Mother, the FF games, Ninja Turtles, Duck Tales (low chance because $licences$) and I don't know what else may be missing.

Nintendo: "We're running out of games to put on the app"
Mega Man 1-6, EarthBound Beginnings, Contra, Castlevania, Pac-Man: Am I a joke to you?

 

[Rahkeesh]

Mother is the only realistic thing here. This isn't the VC, most companies are putting out their retro library on their terms. Mega Man, Pac-man, Castlevania and Contra are already there for instance.

Can't wait until 2021 so I can play SNES games and 2023 so I can play N64 games on my switch (officially).

Are you sure it is emulation ?
