Daemon X Machina will be offered as the next Nintendo Switch Online Game Trial in Japan, Nintendo has announced. With an active subscription, it can be played entirely for free during a limited period.

If there was ever a time for a new library of games to join Nintendo Switch Online, it would probably be right around now, so something like Game Boy could make sense. No new NES games were added during the latest update in July. Furthermore, Nintendo seems to be running low on heavy hitters for SNES titles. So what could be next?

N64 followed the SNES in terms of Nintendo generations, but it’s not exactly a lock for Switch Online. Nintendo has shown more interest in remaking and individually re-releasing N64 titles such as Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, and Super Mario 64’s inclusion in Super Mario 3D All-Stars on Switch. Game Boy and Game Boy Color could be possible for Nintendo Switch Online. Or what if those systems were skipped over for the GBA?

What do you think the future of classic titles could be for Nintendo Switch Online? Let us know in the comments below.

Earlier today, it was announced that Minecraft Dungeons would be featured as the next Nintendo Switch Online Game Trial in Europe. We now have confirmation that the same offer will be extended to North America as well.

Minecraft Dungeons can be played for free with an active subscription starting on August 18 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Any progress made can be transferred to the full version. The trial will end on August 24 at 11:59 PM PT / August 25 at 2:59 AM ET.
