Nintendo Switch Online adds GB, SNES, and NES games this month



Nintendo is adding an assortment of classic games to the Nintendo Switch Online service. Game Boy, NES, and SNES are all getting representation, with Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Blaster Master: Enemy Below, Mystery Tower, and Harvest Moon arriving as of tonight.

NSO subscribers in Japan will get Baseball Simulator 1,000 on NES instead of Harvest Moon.
Game Boy

  • Blaster Master: Enemy Below – Jason and his legendary battle vehicle, SOPHIA, are back again to save the world. Using the strong weapons and high jumping power of SOPHIA, Jason must head to subterranean regions and eliminate everything in his path. In narrow places, Jason can exit SOPHIA and move through catacombs on foot. In the catacombs, control Jason in top-down view and battle with guns and grenades! Swap in and out of your vehicle and adapt to the situation to succeed!
  • Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble – When you move, Kirby moves! This action game was released for the Game Boy Color system in 2001 and features the ever-adorable Kirby! In this game, it’s all about how Kirby tilts and tumbles! This twist on classic Kirby gameplay adds new levels of fun. Kirby moves left, right, forward and backward based on the movement of the system you hold in your hands! This version replicates the motion controls from the original Game Boy Color version. Tilt your Nintendo Switch system or controller to play. Go, Kirby, go!
Super Nintendo Entertainment System

  • Harvest Moon – Discover the roots of the farming simulator genre in Harvest Moon! Take in the natural beauty and breathe the fresh country air. Experience firsthand the down-to-earth goodness of life on a farm! Your challenge is to dig in and build your life as a farmer with old-fashioned hard work and dedication. You have a modest house, so it’s going to take a remodel to woo a farming companion. Success in this game is measured by the fruits of your labor, so remember – you always reap what you sow!
Nintendo Entertainment System

  • Mystery Tower (Tower of Babel) – Use wit and skill to reach the top of the tower! This game launched for the Famicom system in Japan in 1986 and is packed with puzzles and action! Play the role of archaeologist and explorer and set your sights on the top of the tower. Clear stages by moving and rearranging mysterious stones to reach the exit and proceed to the next floor.

Gameboy games aren't in the expansion pack. I know, because I'm not going to pay them that much money for stuff I barely use :D

Great, just another useless and time wasting update instead of working on fixing their actual games, i wonder who are the two unpaid interns working on integrating roms into this.

that $4 more a year must really ruin all 7 of you, huh?
actually yes, because none of us use our switches enough to barely justify having a membership to begin with, also rent in canada is expensive

edit: i looked it up, it's actually +$8 per person, since it'd be $15 each with the expansion pack, rather than $6 each

Huh, Kirby is a pretty meaningful addition as a game that’d be slightly more difficult to emulate well. Hopefully we see Yoshi Topsy Turvy/Universal Gravitation down the line too.

Yo, Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble is legit a great game. I remember trying to emulate it several years back and it just wasn't the same with an Xbox controller. With proper motion controls, it's definitely worth a replay. :)

Only after 1 game and i doubt they will ever add it so i have to keep using emulators.
Mortal Kombat 2 for SNES.
Best version of the game by far.

...But I have an Analogue Pocket for that.

Cool to see the original harvest moon get added, have so many fond memories of that game
It's just disappointing all these games are just rentals, its paid subscribers can't digitally "own" them (while they have their subscription active). 😕
