With the dawn of the SNES Switch Online app, now seems like a good time to remind people that Nintendo has a bunch of official instructional manuals up on their site to use and peruse. Although these NES and SNES archives are meant for the ...

Well Nintendo, this is definitely a strategy. I've always said, even before a paid Nintendo service was announced, that Nintendo could benefit from putting all of their first-party games onto an on-demand service. Take the ROMs they al...

Nintendo continues its slow plan for Switch Online NES suite expansion with...two NES games and a new feature. Those games are classics mind! Wrecking Crew and Donkey Kong 3 still rip; but yeah, it's been very slow-going with mont...

I have a special connection to at least two of the three games being added to the Switch Online NES suite in June: City Connection, Double Dragon II, and Volleyball. Can you guess which ones? If you read Destructoid regularly you might reme...

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...
