Nintendo's Switch Online service has already proved itself to be a big boon for retro-oriented Nintendo Switch users, as it features an impressive array of titles from the company's long and storied history. Having originally launched back in 2018, the service is now a mainstay for many gamers, and more games are coming in at a reasonable pace.It's not strange, then, that the latest batch of new content released for the Nintendo Switch Online service adds even more interesting titles for players to explore. While the games featured in this new update aren't as popular as Nintendo's own first-party titles of the era, some gamers are sure to find them a stellar addition to the roster.More specifically, there are two games coming for the SNES, Congo's Caper and Rival Turf, as well as an old NES extra, Pinball. This underlines Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa's earlier promise that Nintendo Switch Online will receive more content over the course of 2022. But since the service already offers a huge array of Nintendo classics, the company needed to start looking at less ubiquitous, yet well-regarded titles from history.
While some are hoping to see the multiplayer features of old Pokemon games revived on the Nintendo Switch, it goes without saying that this would be a significantly more complex endeavor than just porting over another NES or SNES game to the system. It's not strange to see that Nintendo isn't too eager to jump into projects such as this, especially since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet should be coming out towards the end of the year.
Regardless, everything suggests that Nintendo Switch Online is set to continue expanding as time goes on. Naturally, some players are still wondering about the value of the Switch Online Expansion Pack, but with more than 100 classic Nintendo games on offer, it's a must-have for fans of retro gaming on Switch.
Now that Nintendo Switch Online added a few extra NES and SNES titles to its roster, an argument could be made that Nintendo should add more GBA games to NSO as well. Game Boy Advance remains one of the most popular gaming devices of all time, and releases such as Metroid: Zero Mission and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance would be a perfect fit on the Nintendo Switch.
