Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch Online SNES app will be getting three more games on July 28. The games are Bombuzal, Claymates, and Jelly Boy. This brings the total number of SNES and NES games available for Nintendo Switch Online members to 107.
Here is an overview of the games:
- Bombuzal – Strategically detonate every bomb in each level while leaving yourself a safe place to stand when the dust settles. In this puzzle game, you’ll have to be quick, because time is short. Just make sure you remember to take the size of each explosion into account, or it could blow a hole in all your careful planning. Good luck, and have a blast!
- Claymates – Take on the role of Clayton, son of Professor Putty. Your father has made a breakthrough, and with the serum he’s created, living creatures can be turned into clay! You will face many dangers, but you have the ability to transform into five different animals. You’ll need them all to run, jump, fly, swim and climb your way past the obstacles in your path.
- Jelly Boy – In this platforming game originally released exclusively in Europe in 1995, you are Jelly Boy, candy given the spark of life by the power of lightning. You’ve come to life knowing one thing: You have to escape the candy factory. To get out, you’ll need to collect puzzle pieces and survive the enemy heavies trying to stop you. You’re sure to need all your wits, skills and shape-changing powers to make it through this wacky adventure.

It feels like they are just screwing with us now by adding random filler like this while games like Mario RPG remain absent
Super Mario RPG is always complicated due to the rights, as technically it's a square enix title and partially made by yet another studio which also retains some rights.
But where is Earthbound???
Where do they even find these games?!
System sellers, I guess.
Never heard of them. Likely never going to play them.
Try again Nintendo.
A lot of the games people are clamoring for are encumbered in some way. Konami, Capcom, and Square Enix would rather sell their games than give them away., so that means no Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Secret of Mana, Mega Man, Castlevania or Contra. Licensed titles are out because of the legal headaches, so no TMNT. Nintendo seems to like to hang on to Super Mario RPG and Earthbound as sales boosters. So instead we get a lot of Jaleco stuff.
Honestly, between Nintendo's first party stuff on the service, and the various collections sold separately by their publishers, most of the well-known stuff is already available on Switch in one form or another. Capcom did put Ghosts 'n' Goblins, Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, and Breath of Fire on the service. We never even got the old-school Dragon Quest games on Wii or Wii U. Not sure what Square Enix's deal with FF is since they won't even release FF Pixel Remaster on consoles. Hopefully they're at least planning a re-release like they did the PS1 and PS2 games. I'd rather have the original SNES versions of those games than the ones Square puts out on Steam anyway. I think Chrono Trigger has to have a sign-off from Akira Toriyama before it gets released. And I'm not sure, but Enix's NES and SNES games are problematic because Enix always contracted development out and never developed games in-house. Most of those companies are gone so rights might be a little murky.
I'd actually like to see more of the lower-key games myself. On NES, I'd like to see Bionic Commando, Faxanadu, Metal Gear, Wizards and Warriors, and Ultima: Exodus. Faxanadu was the only one of those games that ever got released on Wii. Legacy of the Wizard sneaked onto the Switch through a Namco collection. On SNES, I'd like to see the Soul Blazer series (which includes Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma, never released in the US), ActRaiser, Brandish, and Dragon Quest 5-6. Ys III, too, but I'd really rather have a port of The Oath in Felghana instead.
And damn, I would run to GameStop right now if Nintendo announced a Mother 1-3 collection on cartridge. I'd do the same for a port or a remaster of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.
