Yesterday, Nintendo made the long-awaited announcement that SNES games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online. It will have a number of features, some of which were outlined yesterday. There’s online multiplayer, the ability to save at any point, a rewind function, and new sorting options.

Those sorting options have now been detailed on Nintendo’s Japanese website. On the menu, you can change the order freely. You can sort titles in alphabetical order, by release date, play time, favorites, and recently played.

These sorting options aren’t limited to SNES games, as Nintendo has confirmed the same sorting options are being added to NES – Nintendo Switch Online.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Hello, my beautiful bubbles and bobbles. This week on NEP, we’re gushing about Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Oni tries (and fails) to not talk about FE3H the entire episode, while Galen picks arbitrary battles as he defends Cooking Mama. Oni also gives some first impressions with the Grandia HD Collection, and the gang discusses all the game announcements and details we got this week! Could a Nintendo Direct be coming next month?
We finish things off by chatting about games with sequels where one was exponentially better than the other. Both Galen and Oni dive into their pasts to pull up some sore memories of their favorite games…

If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through the algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!
