I'm happy with this announcement.
Yoshi's Island IS the best platformer ever made! There's no use denying it.

Hmmm no. One of the hardest platformers ever created. It’s hard for the sake of being hard. It’s level design and gameplay were outdated when it was released. And I agree with my old 90s game pro mag review. Rescuing Mario is tedious and incredibly frustrating task, only made more so thanks to his stupid timer and tendency to wonder far up to the top of the screen. $&@! That shit! Game earned it’s boogie score by professional reviewers in the 90s.

I wonder if they will continue with NES additions every month as well as SNES.

Also curious what new VC platform they start next year. Any guesses?

I only remember excellent reviews for the game! Way back before the internet so maybe the US didn’t like it as much as the rest of the world?

Hardly the most difficult, Ghouls and Ghosts gets that award. Super Mario World is way too slow-paced and it hasn't aged as well IMO

The only reason I care about Nintendo Online news is because my friend uses my switch and pays for it, so I just use his profile sometimes when I want to do retro games :rofl:
So basically I have them free
PS: I’m just doing a full Super Mario World playthrough on my laptop right now with that new upscale filter thingy

Yep in the UK pretty much every game mag scored it 95 to 97 outta 100. Don't remember anyone giving it lower than 90.

we got the game a few months before the snes 2.0 model came out. the 2.0 came with it for free too. For us the Nintendo 64, ps1 and sega Saturn were already out. The game was universally hated by game magazines. The art style and music were the only standout things about it. I remember it being one of the first games I raged quiet playing as a kid. Tried to get it a shot a few years ago and couldn’t make it to the end of the first world. I don’t see the appeal of the game. Overly difficult games suck, especially older ones with zero learning curve. These older games, you can either beat them or not. Zero middle ground. Mega man 2 is another example of this.

On the one hand, this is awesome and the lineup is great.

On the other hand, I hope we don't have to wait a year every time Nintendo decides to add a new platform to Nintendo switch online.
