I put this in the official Nintendo Switch thread but thought I should create a new thread too

If either of these rumors are true, we will be feasting

Rumour: Dataminer Uncovers SNES Games For Nintendo Switch Online Service

22 in total



The Nintendo Switch Online service has been chugging along at a steady pace since it officially launched in September last year. When it did arrive, a digital library of NES titles was made available as part of the subscription package, with more classics added to the service each month.

Although Nintendo's focus is currently on NES titles in terms of retro offerings, according to a dataminer who has sifted through NES Online strings - apparently added in last month's Switch update, there's now evidence Super Nintendo games are planned for the service in the future. Below is the full list of titles, according to dataminer Kapu, who also goes by the Twitter handle @KapuccinoHeck.

In total, there are 22 games on this list. Interestingly, the previously unreleased game Star Fox 2 features. This game was finally made available in 2017 when it was included as part of the games library on the SNES Classic Mini.

And if SNES offerings aren't enough to satisfy your nostalgic cravings, another dataminer who goes by the Twitter handle @OatmealDome - and is known for their findings in Splatoon 2 - claims to have discovered the following information (see below), suggesting there will be two to three more emulators added to the Switch online service at a later date.

I was more enthusiastic about retro games before this whole cash-in on retro nostalgia became the thing.

Already got the whole catalog on my SNES classic :myman:
The whole catalog is like 7mb or some shyt :smugbiden: and your games don't have online play, correct?

To flat out play old NES/SNES games on a Mini is beyond retarded imo when you can download an emulator on your cellphone let alone PC and even some consoles like the xbox one or the Wii/Wii-U
What the Wii had to make shyt interesting was Wii-ware titles.Those kept me interested and adding online to titles is what the new service is all about so I'm more excited for this than just playing a rom

Can you play NES/SNES titles online via PC? Is that a thing or not really?

But I can't be fukked to keep it plugged in and play on my TV

If these games end up on my Switch, they will get tons of burn though
