A new month has begun, and that means it’s time to see which classic NES games will be added to the collection of available titles through Nintendo Switch Online. This May will see the addition of three games: Vs. Excitebike, Clu Clu Land, and Donkey Kong JR. Currently, they’re listed as “upcoming” on the official Nintendo website, where subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online will be able to access these games fairly soon, once the reveal video goes live.

You think I actually like these NES games? No way in hell do I enjoy them, couldn't care less, nor do I even want to pay 5 dollars a month for this crap.

It's $1.67 per month if you do 12 months

Honestly very affordable

I view it more like you are paying for online play (something every other console does) with tiny bonus of nes games - which you don't have to play

It is the most affordable of all the services - it is also the most bare bones

You get what you pay for, and honestly I think it's a very fair price all things considered

Obligatory “SNES when tho”

It will come eventually

 

[warweeny]

hope I can move these games over to future Nintendo consoles.

Of course not lol, nintendo knows how to squeeze its fanbase, they are cheap as fuck.

You're paying for P2P multiplayer. That's almost an insult.

Gotta admit, SX OS Emunand is almost making purchase it because of this thing.

If they put Contra, Battle City, Binary Land, Milk and Nuts and a couple more of those that made me wake up at 6am to play a bit before going to school at 8am...

I might buy it. Or go legit, once I find Hello Kitty and Lego Worlds for cheap.

What do you mean?

The nsp of this works just fine.

Not refuting the price, refuting the lack of content. NES games were never worth the price of admission for me.

Online gaming, perhaps, but for NES games and no option to individually purchase games like in a VC service, no dice.

except while you pay more in other consoles you get current gen games free not nes games that are very very old and can be played on a gameboy, most nes games didnt age well with very few exceptions, so most people dont play them at all.

To me, it seems like Nintendo is releasing NES games out of desperation, in hopes to having more long-term subscribers. So far, most people are only doing it sporadically, and not for entire year-long subscriptions. I sure as heck don't blame 'em, NES games have not aged well. Once they have other systems, Snes, N64, GBA, hell, even GBC, would be better than boring NES.

Well I think for 1/3 of the price of PS+ it makes sense

You are foremost paying for online services here

Most people I know don't even play the PS free games either

Yeah because like the NES games on Switch, most of the free games suck. I'm surprised no one is defending the NES games on here.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I am talking about the PS4, not the PS3 which launched 13 years ago

That system doesn't make much sense as a comparison to modern console services

 

[XDel]

DS titles would be nice. There are three neglected Castlevanias after all.

a single ps plus service would give you games on ps3,ps4 and psvita, sure they stopped on ps3vita on february 2019 but a single account gave you games on all 3 systems at once incase you didnt knew that for years, also each game they give is a game that is worth something, nintendo just gives you games that no one would probably pay 5 dollars to play this days...

I understand your point, but most people I know just play new games and don't bother with the freebies

In that case, they are paying the additional $40 per year with no additional benefit

to each their own, like i said ps plus had thousands of subscribers since ps3 days and the ps3 did not need subscription for online so many people paid just for the free games, also having psplus means you get discounts on pstore wich saves even more money, nintendo doesnt even do that...
