These important games are missing from Nintendo Switch Online
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Previously, we’ve gone over new retro catalogs that Nintendo should add to their Nintendo Switch Online service – including games from Nintendo DS as a hypothetical new addition. Today, however, we’re going over the platforms Nintendo Switch Online already has. It has quite a few, with NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo 64 all being included for some time now. That said, each platform is missing at least one notable game, and some are missing several. We’ll be looking at all five Nintendo Switch Online platforms (minus SEGA Genesis, which doesn’t receive much in terms of updates anyhow) and which important titles are missing in action.
