Best retro Nintendo games to play on Switch 2 and Switch
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When you think of Nintendo Switch 2, you’re probably thinking of all the new games confirmed for the system – and that’s completely understandable. Generally speaking, Nintendo releases one new major title per month to spread them out. If you’ve played tons of Nintendo Switch games and finished the latest Switch 2 game, what are you supposed to play in the time between? That’s where Switch Online’s Nintendo Classic range comes in.
Nintendo has added a lot of games to their NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance platforms, and it’s a great idea to try out some older titles while you wait for the next new one. Their lineup of retro games is about to get a whole lot better, too: not only are GameCube games starting to release on the system, but it’s also got a built-in microphone, which theoretically makes Nintendo DS games possible as well. So today, we’re going over some of the best offerings on Nintendo Switch Online plus some new games Nintendo could realistically add over the Switch 2’s (hopefully) long lifespan.

Donkey Kong Bananza has a special death Easter egg that you may not have noticed. We at least didn’t know about it initially, and in looking into this, it seems a bunch of other players were unaware as well.
We’ll be going into light spoiler territory, so keep that in mind before proceeding. We’re not covering anything story-related, but we will reference one of the final layers in the adventure.
