I'd love to see Gamecube games, but I really doubt we will. It takes a lot of horsepower to emulate them, plus the Switch controls are missing the trigger functionality of the Gamecube controller.
Yeah, it was the first game I ever had that was actually mine. All the others belonged to either my brother, or were games my parents bought for both of us. I believe it was either my birthday or a Christmas present.
The NES titles are a cute little feature, but it feels more like an add-on rather than something included in the price. Imagine if they had a monthly drip-feed of N64 and Gamecube game on top of an included library of ~30 total actually good NES and SNES games. An online offering like that would be a console seller for generation gamers who want to easily play older games they enjoyed when they were new.
It's been 1 year and more than a half, and NES games are still their selling points. Maybe we'll get game boy games by the time the Switch U will be avalaible.
Even though I agree that's just not how business works. A lot of good games were third party titles and Nintendo and third party developers have always had a rocky relationship at best unfortunately for us.
we'll sadly never see goldeneye. between rare being with mircosoft now and activision i think owning the bond game license they will never be able to release it. thats why it was never on virtual console
While Super Mario Bros. 3 is beautiful, especially for NES standards, I'd argue the actual best looking game on the NES is Kirby's Adventure. It released so late into the NES lifetime that, by that point they were able to exploit every trick in the book to get it to look gorgeous. The result is that Kirby's Adventure almost looks 16-bit.
I want SNES games damnit. I want Link Between Worlds, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Super Metroid, StarFox, Earthbound, FZero, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario AllStars, Yoshi's Island
Solid list, I more or less agree with the placement! Glad to see others are doing this kind of video - I made my own massive review video for all 20 games for people that haven't played some of them before, and naturally this popped up in my recommended feed since I've been watching so many NES videos lately to prepare myself!
I like the idea behind the NES classics but honestly, I have played these games to death. I would have much rather preferred SNES. And in a perfect world, we would have N64 games. Just imagine being able to play Mario Kart 64, Mario Party or the original Smash Bros online through your Switch. And that is not even touching on all the great single player games the N64 has to offer
Yes, I preferred SNES too. I feel SNES games aging quite well and much more replayability. I would like to see N64 since I only played like 4 games only on that system, and emulator still not able to perfectly emulating N64. I miss 4 player mario kart 64 so much.
well that will happen...same with gamecube...but when people wanted the wii u to have gamecube...it was like 10 or something...seeing how old the wii is...I wonder if even the wii would be there eventually...
I hope if they do ever do n64, they utilize the double analog sticks (for the games that need it). As someone who grew up with the 6th and 7th gen consoles, I can’t play a lot of n64 games because of the shitty camera controls
I am waiting for Kirby's Adventure. Easily one of the most advanced NES games. Even more advanced than SMB3 I'd say. Does that mean it's better? I don't mean to judge that. But damn, if it isn't one of the best NES games nonetheless...
"Does being more advanced make it better?" "Call of Duty: Black Ops" was one of the most advanced games ever released on the Nintendo DS, and people say it's one of the worst games/ports in the "Call of Duty" series. But "Kirby's Adventure" is an excellent game, I hope it does come to the NES online service.
Sven Last Name We’re getting a collection from Konami I sadly don’t think they’ll put it on the service same thing with Capcom or Namco. As long as they have collections like Mega Man Legacy or Namco Museum then their titles won’t be on the service.
It's a shame we aren't getting Castlevania as a part of the line-up this year. Sure, we get the just as frustrating Ninja Gaiden but Simon's in Smash Bros so where's the love, NIntendo? Castlevania 1 is a great game, Castlevania 2 is filled with many secrets that require a walkthrough (and thus, the hand pointing feature would be helpful for a game like this) and Castlevania 3 not only adds replayability with its branching paths / characters but also is the basis for the Netflix series, which some people might want to give a try, as a result of watching the show. Also, Contra would work so well as a two player game but it's nowhere to be found and neither is its sequel, Super C (which was on the NES Classic, despite the original not being included for some reason). But yeah, both the NES Contra games should be a part of this service too (not counting Contra Force because it's not actually a Contra game).

8bitdo also sells an adapter kit for an original kit for original NES controllers. It's $20 and it allows you to use a newly wireless controller with the Switch.
Perhaps he didn't grow up with Nintendo and didn't play Dr. Mario, Techmo Bowl, or Ice Hockey as a kid? Granted these games aren't great graphically and some are limited in their play, but these are classic games if you grew up with them. Part of NES' charm is the nostalgia that comes with these games, not necessarily how "playable" they are, esp the early titles. It's interesting to hear a different perspective, though, so I'm not knocking his opinions--I was just taken aback by the dismissive attitude towards those particular games.
I mean come on I think if we all sit down and really think about, its obvious that, above all else, Tennis is #1. Not just on the service, not just on the NES, but the best of all time. The monumental three shades of blue that make up the crowd, the amazingly unique and interesting court (even more interesting than Ultra Smash's court), and above all else Mario is the ref. It doesn't get any better than that. Sorry Bob, but the facts are just undeniable.
I think my favorite title here is Balloon Fight. It's a pretty fun title once you get used to the controls and physics. I for one am very satisfied to have NES titles as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service, as I never had the chance to play any of these titles on the Wii/Wii U/3DS Virtual Console, and these titles were first released long before I was even born!
I am only 20 so my first introduction to SMB3 was on the Wii as a download. And I played it religiously. I am so happy to have it back. And yeah it is worth $20. The replay value of it is insane
I'm looking forward to playing Ice Hockey online, it should be a fun time. Balloon Fight and Gradius what I'm HERE for all day (not literally, I have work)
Wulffden's Ranking List: with 20 being the worst. 1) Super Mario Bros 3. 2) Super Mario Bros. 3) The Legend of Zelda 4) River City Ransom 5) Ghosts n' Goblins 6) Double Dragon 7) Gradius 8) Excitebike 9) Ice Climber 10) Balloon Fight 11) Mario Bros 12) Dr.Mario 13) Donkey Kong(arcade game) 14) Yoshi 15) Tecmo-Bowl 16) Pro Wrestling 17) Ice Hockey 18) Baseball 19) Tennis 20) Soccer sauceyyyy
List looks pretty good but like others have said, Temco Bowl should be top way up there. I wasted so many hours with River City Ransom tho. I'm glad to see it online because I was disappointed not to see it on the classic.
The tennis and baseball have nostalgic value for me cuz I played them a lot with my kids Loved baloon fight, ice climber, and excite bike too. My youngest used to call it becite bike. He was only 1 My Mother paid 90 bucks for Mario 3. That's my fave on your list. My son and I stayed up all night long playing that on the weekends. My Mother threatened to take it away if I continued to be such a slack mother.
What annoys me is that people make it sound like 20USD is a lot. It's 20 bucks A YEAR. That's literally 2 bucks a month rounded up (1.6 USD exactly). While other features are 100% lacking in the service, the price actually is fair for what you're getting. You're paying 2 bucks a month to play multiplayer and enjoy Nintendo's NES version of Netflix, which gets new games every month that you play LEGALLY. Assuming Nintendo eventually adds more features to Switch Online, you'd be getting more bang for your buck and the service might eventually become the cheapest one after PC, which is arguably irrelevant to the conversation.
@@retro527 Honestly, I'd pay the $20 a year just for the cloud saves or just for the NES games. Getting both and online multiplayer for Switch games is fine by me
@@retro527 It doesn't matter what the cost is. If a service isn't good I'm not paying anything, period. That's like if the government started charging 5 cents a year just to breath oxygen and you saying "Come on, it's only 5 cents!"
@@thegrayghost1786 The online service is bad, but on the nintendo online subcription, you also have a lot of NES/SNES games for free and a good cloud service (to save your game). The online is bad for smash/mario maker, but to do trade on animal crossing, is enough. For me it’s essential. You also have sometimes free game for 2weeks to try it (not a demo, the real game), like one days, splatoon was free for 2weeks for those who pay the online.
Meh. I'll be getting it because it is really cheap, but the titles aren't super intriguing tbh. I would obviously prefer SNES titles. That said, some cool NES titles would be SMB 2, Rampage, and Silent Service.
I like that you review these games from a current gamer perspective, lots of us play these with the nostalgia goggles on (me absolutely included). This video will be really useful for people who never played these on release.
Yeah Tecmo Bowl is great! I literally know nothing about football and I figured out the game with just some trial and error. If anything, it made me love the game more by trying to figure it out little by little. Plus the music... so good
That game was fun. In my Algebra 1 class As a clone named "Dinosaur" On my TI-84 Calculator when there was nothing else to do :| Even that was the last option to play out of the installed games
I love it. I Will finally play the original Metroid. And the first Zelda (legally). And that makes me happy. Plus I could just have Fever and Chill running in the bg for when I have to draw. Really looking forward to it.
The plan was to pick up Super Mario Bros 3 (my favourite 2d Mario) for the Switch whenever we got any form of Virtual Console, so I'm happy with that. I do hope they will expand at the very least into SNES era with this service as well and I'd jump up and down in joy if they went beyond it.
Very disappointed Bob, another Switch video that's not about useless accessories -_- Jk I am actually excited to play Dr Mario and Legend Of Zelda on my Switch!
My best friend came over and we spent all night trying out different games and while River City Ransom was easily the deepest co op experience, we had one of the best nights in a long time playing tons of Tennis... We didn't win a single match all night but we DID get slightly better and getting off a perfectly timed spike or cross court shot felt soooo good. Missing your serve also provided endless laughter. All in all, don't knock the sports games, with a friend they can be a whole lot of fun if you give it a chance.
I am disappointed in online tbh but i do love online and i do love super mario bros 3 its my favorite 2D mario game! Also nice list bob for sure later we gotta know what you think of the online update tho
NES graphics have really stood the test of time. When I play my NES classic, the graphics still blow my mind to this day. They don’t make em like they used to. They’ll never make consoles that powerful again. Kids today play games and they have no idea how amazing the graphics were back in the 80s.
Ice hockey rules. Better than blades of steel because you have total control over the goalie. Tip: quick tap the b button and your team will swarm around your net on defense. Great video.
When I compulsively bought a years worth of Switch Online I had no idea I'd be getting all these NES games as a bonus. Since then, I've only got one piece of the triforce to collect before attacking the final dungeon. Glad they included it. Definitely getting way more for 20 bucks than you could get with a years worth of an Xbox subscription.
I think you totally undersold Adventures of Lolo, a brilliant puzzle game that got SO much play in my household as I was growing up. It was the only NES game even my parents got into in a major way. It's not much of an overstatement to describe it almost as a 2D version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.
I Love Nintendo it's the Best Number of these Top Consoles are... #1.NES (1985) #2.SNES (1991) #3.N64 (1996) #4.GameCube (2001) #5.Wii (2006) #6.Wii U (2012) #7.Nintendo Switch (Today) I Was born in 1984 because i use to play NES Games since I was a little toddler back then and play Super Nes Games as a kid in Early 90s and playing N64 in the late 90s as a teen and both GameCube Game & GameBoy Advance Games in 2000s and the Wii Games & Nintendo DS Games too and finally a Wii U Games because Nintendo Online is finally here on Nintendo Switch that I'm been waiting for a long time 😎❤👍 and Nintendo Online going to have SNES, N64, GBA & GameCube too
For sure! Dr. Mario is a lot of fun. Sure it’s not as combo heavy as Puyo Puyo, but that doesn’t make it worse. It just means you have to think differently. It’s all about using what they give you.
Agreed. I have to be honest and say I just played it for the first time a few weeks ago, but I absolutelly loved it. Probably would rank it very high too
@@mariox7070 well that's morally questionable. I get it for people who can't obtain the game (can't afford the NES mini, a TV etc. because there are families like that) but to enjoy something a company creates but STILL go out of your way to make sure NOT to support said company is just fucked up. If you don't like Nintendo, then don't play their games. If you like their games and can afford to purchase them legally then do so. Don't pirate shit out of spite.
Me and my dad just spent all night buried in this on my new switch me and my dad don't get to do much together by our self's so with his rusty mario bros 3 knowledge and me teaching him the switch controls we had a blast this video helped us Alot so thanks Bob for helping me and my dad have some fun together
Lyncharoo Dickaroo fundamentally I agree with what you’re saying (especially about the voice chat) but compared to other consoles and how cheap it is I don’t see the need to complain
Got Nintendo switch and the NES games. My uncle (in his 30s) was so happy like a kid in a candy store. He beat Ghost and Goblins so easily and we spent all night playing that and Mario
I own two SN30 Pro and an SF30 Pro controller and they are great gaming controllers. The 1.28 update made them even easier to sync and lowered the latency down and they are as responsive as first party hardware or close. 8bitdo is killin it right now.
i'm totally agree with you! I'm so glad to play super mario bro 3 on switch! Btw, after hearing this game release on switch, my mom is so exciting and she react like some good old days back to life.
Just preordered the NES Controllers through the nintendo website. Gave me my order number and said the anticipated shipping window for your purchase is between 12/07/18 and 12/12/2018 A shipping confirmation will be sent to the e-mail address tied to your Nintendo Account. Expect delivery in 6-10 business days after it's shipped.
@@HolyPetRel if no one was like the op, and no one bought Xbox live back in the day this shit wouldn't be happening now, this was literally our last chance as gamers, to not get ripped off by greedy ass companies. We have had free online pay since the fucking ps1, ps2, and GameCube days of play. If no one bought this shitty online service, Nintendo would be forced to accept defeat and go back to the way things used to be. And we could have the true gamers safe haven again.
stapuft come on man, it’s like 3 bucks a month. And Nintendo needs to make up money for their dismal Wii U sales I’m sure. This might be part of it. But at the end of the day it’s still 3 bucks a month, with a lot of cool benefits it seems like.
@@zeejay4458 doesn't matter, it should be free, they are becoming just as money hungry as $ony and micro$haft. Just watch ittl rise in price as soon as they think they can get away with it.
By your comments I'm guessing nes was way before your time. These are pretty much all gems. Balloon fight is funnily enough, the least so. I'm guess you like it because you probably liked playing it in animal crossing. These games are awesome. There are a lot more that need to come back that you might shit on, but these are all great imho.
Getting to introduce my 6 year old daughter to Super Mario Bros. and seeing how much fun she had with it was so much fun. I can't wait for SNES games to get added eventually.
To those of you that have not played SMB3 with a friend... When it is your turn go to where the other player is and start the level. :) You're welcome. Just be careful not to lose because you will lose your turn. He did not mention that with SMB3 your "turn" when playing multiplayer was that you played until you died and then it was the other player's turn. Also a good house rule to stop fights is that if you "unlocked" it then you get it. ...just trust me on that.
I don't mind paying 20 bucks for online play, I spend like a 100 bucks every week on games anyway. Also having the original Zelda and Mario 3 on my switch is worth it alone.
@@badbroozer6561 well when you take into account people who own the NES mini, people who own the Wii U, and people who own the Wii, this is the same stuff they've been playing for years. there is no incentive to buy this if you've already been buying it years prior.
Daren Richards but it’s 20 dollars. Plus you get online service. I know it’s been free before, but if I had to pick between 20 or 60 dollars only, I’d pick 20.
+Daren Richards if you already own a Wii, Wii U and a nes mini I doubt anybody would be butt hurt about paying 20 bucks for the nes games again. Plus they're gonna expand this collection for free every month.
@@itsoracle 40 dollars more better.. idk.. I have an xbox one only for multiplayer. If they would add party chat too switch it would be just as good. It's not the switches fault that there aren't for multiplayer games.
Honestly? I'd much rather have it be 60 dollars like the other services if it meant it would be just as good as ps plus or xbox live. I mean, cloud saves (WHICH SHOULDN'T EVEN BE LINKED TO A PAID SUB WHEN YOU HAVE NO OTHER WAY OF BACKING UP SAVE DATA) that are limited to specific games with no buffer time if your sub runs out, 'free' games that are just old NES games we could already play on emulators, NES Classic and Virtual Console, not better multiplayer because it's still the same peer to peer it's always been, no in console voice chat or messaging. I get it's 20 dollars, and we knew it was coming from the beginning, but why is it a thing? When a console maker offers you a paid multiplayer service you expect it to come with perks and better multiplayer. Better mp isn't there, its the same old, and these 'perks' are things we already had, or things we should have had from the beginning.
I used to love tennis and Ice Hockey. Pro Wrestling and Techmobowl are iconic! Man, you're sleeping on some great stuff. Baseball and Soccer were actually fun, too.
While Super Mario 3 is a take turns multiplayer, it offers more than the other take turns. You both take turns on the same map. So, you are working together in the same space. Also, if the other player passes over the level you just beat you can tap the button to challenge them to a regular Mario Bros. stage where you compete for the next turn. You can steal the other player's turn and their cards. So, it definitely offers more for a take turns style multiplayer.
"I'd pay $20 for this game alone"
Don't say that Nintendo might do it
Jos I thought that was during the Wii-Wii U era, don’t believe they have it on switch
This will do for now, but the sooner we get SNES, N64 and GBA games the better.

The monumental three shades of blue that make up the crowd, the amazingly unique and interesting court (even more interesting than Ultra Smash's court), and above all else Mario is the ref. It doesn't get any better than that. Sorry Bob, but the facts are just undeniable.
This exquisite masterpiece of a game shall be noticed!! As I, your gracious partner, shall bring it to justice!!
Best game? What about knack three?
What about SUPAH MAHRIO BROS 2 BAYBEE!
I like it
>Skip Tecmo Bowl
This ain’t it chief.
True
3 more games a month? *Hot buttered popcorn that’s a deal!*
...
Cringe is real
no.
I liked this because of the hilariously stupid reference
Find secrets using the W I I U G A M E P A D
And people like you, smashy, are why we can't have nice things.
I think my favorite title here is Balloon Fight. It's a pretty fun title once you get used to the controls and physics. I for one am very satisfied to have NES titles as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service, as I never had the chance to play any of these titles on the Wii/Wii U/3DS Virtual Console, and these titles were first released long before I was even born!
I am only 20 so my first introduction to SMB3 was on the Wii as a download. And I played it religiously. I am so happy to have it back. And yeah it is worth $20. The replay value of it is insane
I'm looking forward to playing Ice Hockey online, it should be a fun time. Balloon Fight and Gradius what I'm HERE for all day (not literally, I have work)
Okay
Ice Hockey is sooooooooooo fun! I really don't care for standard sports games, but this one is a blast
Id rather fuck my wife....
well, with your friends really.
Calling it "Online" kinda defeats the purpose.....
So tonight I’ll be able to play mario bros 3 and legend of Zelda...
Brumski when does it come out in uk
And the original Super Mario Bros you heathen
Rat 5rd 4 am in the U.K.
You can easily play those 2 on your pc or smart phone for free Via emulation..

Except for where tecmo bowl is
That's very low for Tecmo bowl that game is an all time classic.
Swap Zelda with Mario 3 and perfecto
List looks pretty good but like others have said, Temco Bowl should be top way up there. I wasted so many hours with River City Ransom tho. I'm glad to see it online because I was disappointed not to see it on the classic.
Zelda, Metroid, and Mario 3 are my favorites.
The tennis and baseball have nostalgic value for me cuz I played them a lot with my kids Loved baloon fight, ice climber, and excite bike too. My youngest used to call it becite bike. He was only 1
My Mother paid 90 bucks for Mario 3. That's my fave on your list. My son and I stayed up all night long playing that on the weekends. My Mother threatened to take it away if I continued to be such a slack mother.
I say yes, yes it is. I'll pay 20 bucks for Zelda and SMB3 alone.
What annoys me is that people make it sound like 20USD is a lot. It's 20 bucks A YEAR. That's literally 2 bucks a month rounded up (1.6 USD exactly). While other features are 100% lacking in the service, the price actually is fair for what you're getting. You're paying 2 bucks a month to play multiplayer and enjoy Nintendo's NES version of Netflix, which gets new games every month that you play LEGALLY. Assuming Nintendo eventually adds more features to Switch Online, you'd be getting more bang for your buck and the service might eventually become the cheapest one after PC, which is arguably irrelevant to the conversation.
@@retro527 Honestly, I'd pay the $20 a year just for the cloud saves or just for the NES games. Getting both and online multiplayer for Switch games is fine by me
@@retro527 It doesn't matter what the cost is. If a service isn't good I'm not paying anything, period. That's like if the government started charging 5 cents a year just to breath oxygen and you saying "Come on, it's only 5 cents!"
@@thegrayghost1786 The online service is bad, but on the nintendo online subcription, you also have a lot of NES/SNES games for free and a good cloud service (to save your game). The online is bad for smash/mario maker, but to do trade on animal crossing, is enough. For me it’s essential. You also have sometimes free game for 2weeks to try it (not a demo, the real game), like one days, splatoon was free for 2weeks for those who pay the online.
Meh. I'll be getting it because it is really cheap, but the titles aren't super intriguing tbh.
I would obviously prefer SNES titles. That said, some cool NES titles would be SMB 2, Rampage, and Silent Service.
I saw somewhere that snes titles will come eventually
Those controllers are kinda cool, but the 8bitdo controllers are better in every single way since they are usable in any games and on any system.
I like that you review these games from a current gamer perspective, lots of us play these with the nostalgia goggles on (me absolutely included). This video will be really useful for people who never played these on release.
I will throw hands if you keep ragging on Dr. Mario Bro! Respect the Doc!!!!
Skip Tecmo Bowl?! What?? That's a great game, and if it's available to play online, omg, hold me back
Dallas Moye I think it’s because like he said, you need to know football to enjoy
Well isn't it that you can't play with randoms? That'd be stupid.
Yeah Tecmo Bowl is great! I literally know nothing about football and I figured out the game with just some trial and error. If anything, it made me love the game more by trying to figure it out little by little. Plus the music... so good
I rather have super tecmo bowl
I used to love Yoshi on gameboy😐
gillythekid me too 🙃
Hey. It's you. I know you.
You monster.
That game was fun.
In my Algebra 1 class
As a clone named "Dinosaur"
On my TI-84 Calculator
when there was nothing else to do
:|
Even that was the last option to play out of the installed games
I have fond memories of playing this too.. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who didn't grow up playing it
I love it. I Will finally play the original Metroid. And the first Zelda (legally). And that makes me happy. Plus I could just have Fever and Chill running in the bg for when I have to draw. Really looking forward to it.
FBI open up
The plan was to pick up Super Mario Bros 3 (my favourite 2d Mario) for the Switch whenever we got any form of Virtual Console, so I'm happy with that. I do hope they will expand at the very least into SNES era with this service as well and I'd jump up and down in joy if they went beyond it.
I was so excited for this! I love old video games and now that I've played some I think it's 100% worth it.
Also, exitebike is the best track on MK8.
The amount of tricks in that course gives me MKW flashbacks
You are absolutely correct!
Agreed
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Very disappointed Bob, another Switch video that's not about useless accessories -_-
Jk I am actually excited to play Dr Mario and Legend Of Zelda on my Switch!
im ready to destroy in dr mario. idk how he can say that game is terrible!!
Kmilli08 I agree, dr Mario is (maybe was) awesome 😅
I managed to sneak them in there
I’m just annoyed that I have most of these games on the nes mini.
Owen G I have these games downloaded on PC lol
@@sheriffaboubakar9720 What are you doing here, weirdo?
Mr. Johnson Where have you seen me?
yeah but they are portable now. like ever since i got the nes mini i was thinking "but can i play this on the go? " and now i can.
Adam Eason you can easily emulate these games, even on the shittiest Android phones ever.
My best friend came over and we spent all night trying out different games and while River City Ransom was easily the deepest co op experience, we had one of the best nights in a long time playing tons of Tennis... We didn't win a single match all night but we DID get slightly better and getting off a perfectly timed spike or cross court shot felt soooo good. Missing your serve also provided endless laughter. All in all, don't knock the sports games, with a friend they can be a whole lot of fun if you give it a chance.
Just bought it. For 20$. Wow! Was really hard! Never thought I could do it!
Bro why you h8ing on that tennis!? That's what my childhood was!!!
Correction: Solomon’s Key is an incredible Game! Very unique compared to the other titles but a challenge for sure!
But.. I really like Dr Mario 😞
Then play it lol nobody's stopping u
same. maybe we'll play against each other sometime
Emulator
Yoshi and ice hockey were actually Really enjoyable imo, much more so than ice climbers
I have always loved Startropics. If you're not familiar, give it a try. An underrated classic.
It's kinda difficult. I don't even know how to activate potion or medicine or whatever it is.
I am disappointed in online tbh but i do love online and i do love super mario bros 3 its my favorite 2D mario game! Also nice list bob for sure later we gotta know what you think of the online update tho
The only nes games I wanna play is super mario bros and zelda.. Lol
and they would cost 8 bucks each- so your paying 4 bucks for cloud saves- THIEVES!!!!
I absolutely love the save function.
NES graphics have really stood the test of time. When I play my NES classic, the graphics still blow my mind to this day. They don’t make em like they used to. They’ll never make consoles that powerful again. Kids today play games and they have no idea how amazing the graphics were back in the 80s.
Ice hockey rules. Better than blades of steel because you have total control over the goalie. Tip: quick tap the b button and your team will swarm around your net on defense. Great video.
When will Earthbound Beginnings come is my question.
fuck ikr
That actually seems like a good idea.
A nerfed EarthBound Beginnings would be great.
Best gameboy game of all time? Dr mario. Excited for this. Never played on nes. Color? Holy crap!
Oh I remember I played Ice Climbers almost every day and yelled at my friends for being a stupid 2P.
When I compulsively bought a years worth of Switch Online I had no idea I'd be getting all these NES games as a bonus.
Since then, I've only got one piece of the triforce to collect before attacking the final dungeon. Glad they included it. Definitely getting way more for 20 bucks than you could get with a years worth of an Xbox subscription.
I think you totally undersold Adventures of Lolo, a brilliant puzzle game that got SO much play in my household as I was growing up. It was the only NES game even my parents got into in a major way. It's not much of an overstatement to describe it almost as a 2D version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.
I Love Nintendo it's the Best
Number of these Top Consoles are...
#1.NES (1985)
#2.SNES (1991)
#3.N64 (1996)
#4.GameCube (2001)
#5.Wii (2006)
#6.Wii U (2012)
#7.Nintendo Switch (Today)
I Was born in 1984 because i use to play NES Games since I was a little toddler back then and play Super Nes Games as a kid in Early 90s and playing N64 in the late 90s as a teen and both GameCube Game & GameBoy Advance Games in 2000s and the Wii Games & Nintendo DS Games too and finally a Wii U Games because Nintendo Online is finally here on Nintendo Switch that I'm been waiting for a long time 😎❤👍 and Nintendo Online going to have SNES, N64, GBA & GameCube too
I mean, Dr. Mario is a great puzzle game, come on
For sure! Dr. Mario is a lot of fun. Sure it’s not as combo heavy as Puyo Puyo, but that doesn’t make it worse. It just means you have to think differently. It’s all about using what they give you.
Dr. Mario is one of the best puzzle games of all time I was pissed when he ranked it so low
Agreed. I have to be honest and say I just played it for the first time a few weeks ago, but I absolutelly loved it. Probably would rank it very high too
10:47 thanks Nintendo for making me pay 8 bucks for the game when ur going to release it for free...
not the same game...
LiL ToXic you can download an emulator and play this shit for free lol
@@sheriffaboubakar9720 so i other words obtaining a game illegally. Not the besr desicsion at all.
@@eramos8916 ikr people are willing to do illegal activities because they are not willing to support Nintendo
@@mariox7070 well that's morally questionable. I get it for people who can't obtain the game (can't afford the NES mini, a TV etc. because there are families like that) but to enjoy something a company creates but STILL go out of your way to make sure NOT to support said company is just fucked up. If you don't like Nintendo, then don't play their games. If you like their games and can afford to purchase them legally then do so. Don't pirate shit out of spite.
God i hope they expand on this, this is best idea nintendo has had ever, i hope they add alot more nes and get snes and n64 games in to this.
Me and my dad just spent all night buried in this on my new switch me and my dad don't get to do much together by our self's so with his rusty mario bros 3 knowledge and me teaching him the switch controls we had a blast this video helped us Alot so thanks Bob for helping me and my dad have some fun together
I’m happy with the online service but can’t wait for super Nintendo
11:30
*clears throat*
new super Mario bros ds
Co-op multiplayer, as in playing the main game together. Not Versus mode.
I’ll still stick with the nes classic until we get n64, SNES, GameCube, GBA etc, it’s not worth it for me yet
Shaun Greer fact
Noah Gentry yep, got it downloaded on my switch now 😊
Thank you! SNES was my first console so I’m not very familiar with most of these games. This helped A LOT!
Playing SMB3 online with my cousin across the country was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time.
"The NES DK port feels like an Atari game"
I wonder what you think about the Atari 2600 port....
I love how this guy pronounces Mario.
maerio
I'm in a family membership. Knocked the price down really easy.
Yup. You don't even need all eight friends. With just a couple ones is 15 a year, and it goes down from there.
My brothers and I have decided to get the family member ship and it costs less than 7£ a year
Lyncharoo Dickaroo how ? You need it to play online and it’s a stupid amount cheaper than Xbox and PS4
Javier your house must be awesome lol :)
Lyncharoo Dickaroo fundamentally I agree with what you’re saying (especially about the voice chat) but compared to other consoles and how cheap it is I don’t see the need to complain
Got Nintendo switch and the NES games. My uncle (in his 30s) was so happy like a kid in a candy store. He beat Ghost and Goblins so easily and we spent all night playing that and Mario
I own two SN30 Pro and an SF30 Pro controller and they are great gaming controllers. The 1.28 update made them even easier to sync and lowered the latency down and they are as responsive as first party hardware or close. 8bitdo is killin it right now.
Im just here waiting to play LOZ on my Switch even though I already have it on my original nes
Yo can do the same thing with an emulator :[
Oscar Lopez not without hacking it which I don’t want to do
@@DigiVoidG31 you can do it in your cell phone, you don't have to hack anything.
“Butt touch” lmao
Dr Mario is a great game dingus.
i'm totally agree with you! I'm so glad to play super mario bro 3 on switch!
Btw, after hearing this game release on switch, my mom is so exciting and she react like some good old days back to life.
Just preordered the NES Controllers through the nintendo website. Gave me my order number and said the anticipated shipping window for your purchase is between 12/07/18 and 12/12/2018
A shipping confirmation will be sent to the e-mail address tied to your Nintendo Account.
Expect delivery in 6-10 business days after it's shipped.
NES Games!!!!!! I AM BYING THIS SWITCH ONLINE
People like you are the problem with games today...
stapuft Explain.
@@HolyPetRel if no one was like the op, and no one bought Xbox live back in the day this shit wouldn't be happening now, this was literally our last chance as gamers, to not get ripped off by greedy ass companies. We have had free online pay since the fucking ps1, ps2, and GameCube days of play.
If no one bought this shitty online service, Nintendo would be forced to accept defeat and go back to the way things used to be. And we could have the true gamers safe haven again.
stapuft come on man, it’s like 3 bucks a month. And Nintendo needs to make up money for their dismal Wii U sales I’m sure. This might be part of it. But at the end of the day it’s still 3 bucks a month, with a lot of cool benefits it seems like.
@@zeejay4458 doesn't matter, it should be free, they are becoming just as money hungry as $ony and micro$haft.
Just watch ittl rise in price as soon as they think they can get away with it.
By your comments I'm guessing nes was way before your time. These are pretty much all gems. Balloon fight is funnily enough, the least so. I'm guess you like it because you probably liked playing it in animal crossing. These games are awesome. There are a lot more that need to come back that you might shit on, but these are all great imho.
3:42 so ur tryna tell me that the nes is more powerful than the switch
its an Atari game
Dodgeball? Mighty Bomb Jack? Adventures of Lolo... I cannot wait. Especially Lolo... that was one of my favs growing up.
Getting to introduce my 6 year old daughter to Super Mario Bros. and seeing how much fun she had with it was so much fun. I can't wait for SNES games to get added eventually.
I remember reading/hearing that switch online will offer old games all the up to the GameCube, Is that still true?
It hasn't been officially confirmed but it's been hinted at
Nobody knows that. But everyone wants to
keep your fingers crossed
I NEEDS PUNCH-OUT!!
It only took 6 months
7 days and the data resets!
checkacola it only requires you to log in the data doesn’t reset
To those of you that have not played SMB3 with a friend... When it is your turn go to where the other player is and start the level. :) You're welcome. Just be careful not to lose because you will lose your turn. He did not mention that with SMB3 your "turn" when playing multiplayer was that you played until you died and then it was the other player's turn. Also a good house rule to stop fights is that if you "unlocked" it then you get it. ...just trust me on that.
I like these games. It gives me a chance to look back at gaming from when I wasn't around.
I don't mind paying 20 bucks for online play, I spend like a 100 bucks every week on games anyway. Also having the original Zelda and Mario 3 on my switch is worth it alone.
FryyoAss exactly. Glad someone isn’t bashing on the online. It’s 20 dollars, not 60. For 20 bucks, I think it’s worth it
@@badbroozer6561 well when you take into account people who own the NES mini, people who own the Wii U, and people who own the Wii, this is the same stuff they've been playing for years. there is no incentive to buy this if you've already been buying it years prior.
Daren Richards but it’s 20 dollars. Plus you get online service. I know it’s been free before, but if I had to pick between 20 or 60 dollars only, I’d pick 20.
Daren Richards Plus I don’t know about you, but if I get to play Super Mario bro’s 3, 1, Zelda, and a few others again, then sign me up
+Daren Richards if you already own a Wii, Wii U and a nes mini I doubt anybody would be butt hurt about paying 20 bucks for the nes games again. Plus they're gonna expand this collection for free every month.
“SPOOOOKYYYY” lol
Why do ppl complain?? Its 60 on xbox get over the 20 dollars
The reason Xbox costs more is because its better but yeah this switch online thing is alright
@@itsoracle 40 dollars more better.. idk.. I have an xbox one only for multiplayer. If they would add party chat too switch it would be just as good. It's not the switches fault that there aren't for multiplayer games.
@@jimtaylor3917 40 more for better games every Month and Party chat
I also have Xbox
Honestly? I'd much rather have it be 60 dollars like the other services if it meant it would be just as good as ps plus or xbox live. I mean, cloud saves (WHICH SHOULDN'T EVEN BE LINKED TO A PAID SUB WHEN YOU HAVE NO OTHER WAY OF BACKING UP SAVE DATA) that are limited to specific games with no buffer time if your sub runs out, 'free' games that are just old NES games we could already play on emulators, NES Classic and Virtual Console, not better multiplayer because it's still the same peer to peer it's always been, no in console voice chat or messaging. I get it's 20 dollars, and we knew it was coming from the beginning, but why is it a thing? When a console maker offers you a paid multiplayer service you expect it to come with perks and better multiplayer. Better mp isn't there, its the same old, and these 'perks' are things we already had, or things we should have had from the beginning.
I used to love tennis and Ice Hockey. Pro Wrestling and Techmobowl are iconic! Man, you're sleeping on some great stuff. Baseball and Soccer were actually fun, too.
While Super Mario 3 is a take turns multiplayer, it offers more than the other take turns. You both take turns on the same map. So, you are working together in the same space. Also, if the other player passes over the level you just beat you can tap the button to challenge them to a regular Mario Bros. stage where you compete for the next turn. You can steal the other player's turn and their cards. So, it definitely offers more for a take turns style multiplayer.
