Nintendo doesn't really care one way or another about adding SNES games to it's crappy online service. All they had to do is port over the SNES Classic emulator to Switch. Switch online is merely a test run of Nintendo's version of Xbox Game Pass. That really seems to be where console gaming is headed within 10 years, especially since Sony and Microsoft both migrated over to X86 (theoretical backwards compatibility forevermore).

Wake me when Nintendo decides to join 2019 and ditches phone based chat, or implements actual physical servers for online, or properly implements cloud saves (e.g. PKSM is a weak sauce excuse for blocking cloud saves).

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 It’s level design and gameplay were outdated when it was released.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.
Well, it is a bit harder than Super Mario World, but personally I was never frustrated with this game. I managed to beat all the regular levels as a child and went back to it when I was a bit older to get a score of 100 in every stage and beat the hidden bonus levels.

To me this game felt a lot more fresh with it's ideas than Donkey Kong Country which everyone was raving about.

Baby Mario's crying and the rescue timer are annoying though, I give you that.

Yoshi's Island DS was much worse in terms of difficulty, the bonus levels require almost Kaizo level skills. I never even bothered, I just gave up on them.

Super Mario World the greatest game ever to be released.

If you think otherwise you a Sonic lover.

FACT!
I disapprove of this nonsense. Everyone acknowledges Super Mario Bros 3 as the top tier Mario game of its series.


can anyone confirm whether this is out on the eShop by the way? Can't seem to find it.

Though I agree with you on the crappy online experience, I doubt that they have ported canoe as it is, I think it will be a better or updated version, or even another emulator designed to work exclusively in Horizon, since canoe was originally designed for a custom Linux build used in the SNES mini, and let's not forget that NSO emulator version has online capabilities. Also it should be take into account that apparently NERD has nothing to do with the development of these emulators, they only participated on the WiiU ones and the classic minis.

Meanwhile, I'm just over here, playing my hacked Switch that can play NES, SNES, N64, all of the different Game Boy games, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Game Gear, Master System (I have no idea why I would ever want to play the last two unless I wanted to play the OG Phantasy Star, but, the option is there), Turbografx, MSX, Arcade games, and, hopefully one day, and even more so soon, practical DC emulation on the Switch.




Your loss on not getting another Switch to take the ban. Or do you expect the Internet to always be reliable, let alone services that could close down at any time with little regard to your backlog of games you'd like to play?

The only benefit this might have is if Nintendo uses some wizardry to get GC emulation on the Switch and we can inject images into it like with the 3DS. But I sincerely doubt that will happen!

In your roms folder for RetroArch.


Like I told a certain other individual on this forum, you're expecting a company to provide you a service for which they only make more money to support said service through subscriptions. What happens once the Switch 1 becomes irrelevant? You can't trust any company to provide the same service on one system as they did on the other.

If you want all of this stuff, I recommend jumping over to PC gaming. Otherwise, console gaming online services are the same as they have been ever since the Xbox 360!
ya know, sure, cause we all have 300 dollars to blow on a second console you rich fuck -.-
You uh.. You can use another device to emulate lol
I was going on the terms of playing these games on the switch, I could easily boot up my emulator of choice and have a fun time with no risk
