As someone who went from NES to Sega Genesis as a kid and thus never owned a SNES, I'm very excited to dig into this lineup. The only games on this list I've played are LttP and Super Metroid, both of which I loved, so I can't wait to replay those and dig into the rest.
Damn yes you should be very exited ,so much awesome classics that came out for that console.Out of all consoles i owned i still have the best memorys of that one.
In the words of Tychus Findlay, "Hell, it's about time!"
Well, I guess it's better two years late than never, but this really should have happened ages ago.
Anyone get the SNES update yet? 330 PM Pacific time and nothing yet.
Wow, I was not expecting this to happen. I had actually recently watched SpawnWave's video where he predicted that Nintendo was going to raise the price of the service because they value their IPs too much to put SNES games on it for it's current price.
I wonder if the annoying button prompts are still there. Sad to see we've come from the virtual console to this, though the online subscription value is increasing.
From what I'm seeing with all the re-releases of SNES, Genesis, N64, and PS1 games on Switch, it seems like third parties would rather sell their games on their own rather than through the Virtual Console service. There's a pretty decent selection of 16- and 32-bit third party games on Switch, including a lot of games that have either never seen re-releases and even a game that never saw a US release to begin with (Trials of Mana). The Switch has a better PS1 lineup than the PS Classic did, LOL.
That's one hell of a way to convince people to keep their NSO subscriptions and bring in new subscribers in the process.
... Now when are we getting N64 games? :P
Easy there, don't be so impatient.
Oh shit! Star Fox!..
I can already imagine the nostalgia bomb hitting hard.
Unfortunately it’s not the most interesting lineup of SNES games. I can see myself playing Breath of Fire and Super Ghouls and Ghosts, but a lot of these I literally just played through on Classic Mini.
