Nintendo's Switch NES suite is expanding yet again this month with three games, according to a listing on the official site: Donkey Kong Jr., Vs. Excitebike, and Clu Clu Land. There's a bit of history with all three of these games, so I'll ...

Today the west finally gets its due: three NES games are hitting the Switch Online service. Punch Out!!, Super Mario: The Lost Levels, and Star Soldier are all arriving today. Previously, Japan was getting three games a month and many ...

While it's clear that all things have to come to an end sometime, a recent discovery in an official Nintendo-branded Hong Kong retailer leaflet indicates that yes, the Nintendo Switch Online program will stop giving us NES games. No window ...

Punch Out!! is just one of those series that I'll never stop playing and I'll never forget. The SNES entry in particular is still mind-blowingly good, filled to the brim with unique characters throughout the entire runtime. It's one of my m...

[Image source] Nintendo is adding its token two games (in the west at least, Japan typically gets three) to the Switch Online NES suite this month, and thankfully it's two good ones. Kid Icarus, in pretty much every form, is always welcome ...

In addition to the previously planned arrivals of Kirby's Adventure and Super Mario Bros. 2 on the Switch as part of the NES suite, we're also getting two more "SP" editions of existing games: Metroid and Blaster Master....

As part of Nintendo's "growing library of classics," two more NES games will be joining the Switch Online suite: Kirby's Adventure and Super Mario Bros. 2. In case you haven't been keeping up, one of Nintendo's few "extras" for Switch ...

Though the pace is as slow as molasses (what else is new, remember the drip-fed 3DS eShop near launch when the system desperately needed content?) the Switch Online service is slowly but surely gaining a steady stable of games with its NES ...

So Nintendo has been wishy-washy overall with the whole NES and SNES Classic situation, particularly in regards to the former close to launch. Originally they said they were printing more, then didn't, then acquiesced in 2017 and discontinu...

Nintendo delivered December's three Switch Online NES games as promised (Wario's Woods, Ninja Gaiden, Lolo), but they also sprinkled a few surprises into the mix. As is customary Nintendo dropped two new SP games on us on the UK storefront:...

Adventures of Lolo was probably the first game to ever truly stump me. I figured out quickly that for JRPGs like Dragon Warrior, all you really needed to do was grind out levels and find the end of the labyrinthine dungeon mazes to win...

Nintendo made good on their promise to add more games to the Switch Online's NES app, as NES Open Tournament Golf, Solomon's Key, and Super Dodge Ball graced the system this week. But wait, there's more! The Big N also added a sur...

While the initial classic NES offerings for Nintendo's Switch Online service aren't necessarily worth subscribing for, the publisher did state that more were on the way, and now instead of a drip-feed Virtual Console strategy we can look fo...

What, you haven't heard of Mega Cat Studios? You've either been living under a rock or willfully ignoring all the hard work I put into giving you free things, because they're an awesome company that makes sick retro games for even sicker re...

So about that NES Joy-Con duo. As is the case with anything in a marketing video: it looked amazing at first. Hey, 8bitdo already makes them but these are shiny and official, and approved by Nintendo. Then the provisos came. It's $60 for a ...

When the $20-per-year Nintendo Switch Online service launches in the second half of September, subscribers will be able to play classic NES games like Super Mario Bros. 3 with added online play. If you were curious about what that might loo...

If you haven't heard of Mega Cat Studios yet, they bill themselves as an independent studio with a global team -- but most importantly, they make new NES games. Log Jammers is probably their most well known project at the moment, but they'v...

Three more 3DS titles have joined the Nintendo Selects library. As of this weekend, you'll be able to find Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and Ultimate NES Remix for $20 a piece. That reduced pricing covers ...

True to its word, Nintendo is working to provide supply of these two highly sought-after classic consoles. While SNES Classic shipments were scheduled to end by the end of 2017, now they will continue well into 2018 due to "incredible deman...

Although F-Zero and a few other storied Nintendo series can't catch a break, Kirby is always there. Whether it's a console iteration or a portable jaunt you can always count on the fluff ball to appear, and Nintendo always support...

Right off the bat, I typically don’t like clone consoles. I’m a total retro snob for the most part; not a collector but extremely picky about the accuracy of my old games. A couple of years ago I had to sell the majority of my c...

For 20 years, a Nintendo Entertainment System was rotting in a barn in Kentucky. This is the story of how one man saved it. Okay it's not that dramatic, but you get the picture. Anyone who is remotely interested in fixer upper videos should...

You'd think that after playing World of Warcraft for nearly 13 years I'd be tired of it, but I'm still plugging away at the Legion expansion. I'd also happily give this NES demake a go, if it were real that is. YouTube channel Rkade Soup re...

One of my favorite conversation starters among friends is how they feel about legacy systems like the NES. In my experience, you'll run the entire gamut, from older folks who hated retro games to younger players who absolutely love the clas...

Some of the best Virtual Reality games are also the most simple, and it doesn't get much simpler than NES launch title Duck Hunt. You have a gun, your dog flushes out ducks, you shoot them. It's simple. To the point. Easy to understand. It'...
