[RUMOR] Datamine potentially shows SNES games for Nintendo Switch Online

Those that have access to Nintendo Switch Online are likely familiar with the included NES titles with the subscription. Though Nintendo adds a handful of new games to the lineup each month (Zelda 2 and Blaster Master are Jan. 2019's new additions) many fans have been clamoring for Super Nintendo games to also be added. While nothing has been officially stated at this time, it seems a datamine might have let the cat out of the bag a little early, as Twitter user KapuccinoHeck has discovered a list of 22 SNES games within the data for the NES Online app, which were reportedly added in the last Switch software update. The 22 titles are as follows:

  • Super Mario Kart
  • Super Soccer
  • Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
  • Demon's Crest
  • Yoshi's Island
  • Stunt Race FX
  • Kirby's Dream Course
  • Pop'n Twinbee
  • Star Fox
  • Contra 3
  • Kirby Super Star
  • Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
  • Kirby's Dreamland 3
  • Super Metroid
  • Super Mario World
  • Pilotwings
  • F-Zero
  • Star Fox 2
  • Super Punch Out!
  • The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
  • Super Mario All Stars
  • Breath of Fire 2
This list manages to differ from what the SNES Classic offers, with Final Fantasy VI, Super Mario RPG, Castlevania IV, Donkey Kong Country, Mega Man X, Earthbound, and Secret of Mana missing from what would supposedly be given through the Nintendo Switch Online service. However, these titles could be planned for future monthly updates rather than being rolled out all at once. Presumably, since the NES games have extra features, such as online play and save states, these would be carried over to the SNES games as well. At the time of writing, though, nothing is concrete, and the list is merely a datamine with unconfirmed information.

I find it hilarious how angry people get when they realize that things do not always remain exclusive forever.

While, I've come to learn and accept this as fact, I don't understand why we use the term "exclusive" so loosely anymore.

Anyone else more exited for official snes controllers?

Yep, pretty much the same as the GameCube controllers that are being produced with each new smash iteration. The new games are hot garbage but it's cool they continue to let me play melee. Oh except I can't because Nintendo can't do analog sticks right and 90% of pads have a non centered stick.

How the frick-frack-patty-whack did this reduce to bickering? I swear, the internet could argue over the color of a dress.

Is that a joke or a serious statement? Cause it has indeed happened...in fact it was so big it somehow got its own Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

It's that way with pretty much anything. Every journalist covers everything that gets big. Though I am quite excited at the prospect this datamine sets forth I worry that they are over hyping it and that there may be big disappointment if it turns out to be that they never bring snes games....well, it would be a disappointment if that was the case hyped up or not. Ninty hypes up online multiplayer but it wasn't till the snes and N64 that simultaneous multiplayer was prevelent. It's harder to find games in the nes catalog they provide to play together with a friend at the same time then games that have no multilayer or the sudo multiplayer that's just controller swaping. Hell, maybe we could get official means of online play of a good version of secret of mana out of this. That would be fucking amazing. Get 3 friends together and go on a big arpg romp.
