Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade Of Light is coming out on Switch on December 4. That's good! It's also going away forever on March 31, 2020. That's bad! I know I've been using that Simpsons bit a lot, but hey, I'm rewatching...

Super Mario Bros. 35 is out now for all Switch Online subscribers, and I highly recommend you give it a try. It's a perfect random weekend game, given that the stakes are generally low round-to-round and if you don't like it, you can move o...

Having played Super Mario Bros. 35 quite a bit this past week, I was thankful that I had already grown up on the original Mario Bros. Not only are you required to win on pure skill in Mario 35, but it also helps to understand the vario...

[Update: DKC2, Mario's Super Picross, The Peace Keepers, and S.C.A.T. – yes, S.C.A.T. – are now on Nintendo Switch if you have a Nintendo Switch Online account. What are you playing first?] Our pleas have made it to Nintendo an...

You'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise on most days, but Super Nintendo and NES games are still trickling into the Nintendo Switch Online library. On July 15, 2020, Nintendo is adding three more games to the paid service: Donkey Kong Coun...

As I constantly lament the death of Club Nintendo — a place that favored actual physical merchandise over discounts for legacy systems — I'm always looking for new ways to store my current Nintendo loot. Over on reddit...

I've set my expectations for Nintendo Switch Online low enough that Nintendo can no longer hurt me with its slow, meandering, out-of-left-field game selections. (Kidding! Kind of.) Next week, four new games – three for Super Nintendo,...

The Analogue Nt mini is one of the best devices I've ever gotten my hands on. It's basically a perfect NES re-creation, right down to the most nuanced hardware, with 100% compatibility, no lag and upscaling for newer output devices. If you'...

Transformers really knew how to work kids into a buying frenzy back in the day. Certain characters were even designed specifically for the show to be appealing toy prospects, and Megatron, which transformed into a literal gun, was a pe...

Over the past month, Nintendo of America has been running a half-price deal on the NES controllers for Nintendo Switch, but the promo is ending. Today is your last chance to get a pair of gamepads for $30. The deal is limited to one order p...

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...
