If you are wondering why you should pony up the cash for the Nintendo Switch Online, Nintendo just added some incentive, especially if you like old-school gaming. Among other things, the subscription will give you the chance to play a gang of NES titles, with 20 titles available off the bat and nine more throughout the rest of 2018.
We’re not talking about NOID here either, retro fans. Nintendo is giving us some good stuff, like Super Mario Bros, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Excitebike and more. They are also tossing sports fans a bone as well, with some of their earliest (and to be frank, often worst) sports titles, like hockey, baseball and soccer.
Now, I am sure you are wondering how the hell you are going to recapture that old goodness with that boxy, awkward-in-your-adult-hands controller. Well, Nintendo thought of that (and another way to get your queso), releasing Joy Cons that are shaped like NES controllers. They’ve thought of everything, except Rygar apparently (where the hell is Rygar?).
