One of the perks Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will receive when the service launches is access to classic NES games. Even better, they’ll support online play.
Nintendo posted a screenshot today showing Super Mario Bros. 3 with Nintendo Switch Online as it’ll appear on the system. Basically, it’s the game as you remember it – but now you’ll be able to play it with a friend online, even if they’re on the other side of the world.

Amazon UK is listing several placeholders for Switch – though it’s unclear how long they’ve been present on the retailer’s website.

Still, Gamescom is just on the horizon, and you never know when a Nintendo Direct will be taking place.
