StarTropics for Nintendo Switch Online lacks code needed to progress
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
If you’re aren’t familiar with StarTropics, you might find it difficult to complete the new Nintendo Switch Online release.
When the game originally launched on the NES, the game’s instruction manual included a physical letter to Mike from Dr. Jones printed on parchment. When players dipped the letter into water, it would provide further instructions for Mike. A code here allows players to progress through the fourth chapter.

Latest Nintendo Switch Online NES app update removes all SNES game strings
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
There’s been an ongoing saga with the possibility of SNES games on Switch over the past couple of months. Within the Nintendo Switch Online NES app, it was discovered that references to over 20 SNES titles had been added back in January. This seemed to ramp up further last month.
The app was updated once again today, but has apparently gone in the opposite direction. Dataminers have found that all SNES game strings have now been removed.
What this means currently is unclear. Could SNES games be moved over into their own app? Or could we be losing hope for seeing these titles on Switch in the future?
