But that’s about to change in a big way, with the sudden, though long hoped-for, announcement that Super NES/Super Famicom games are coming to the Nintendo Switch Online service! So it’s been ironic that Nintendo, which is sitting on the largest, most respected library of 16-bit games due to its control of the Super NES/Super Famicom library, hasn’t given long-time/would-be fans a way to play most of them in years, due to the company’s refusal to sell classic titles in digital download format.
Credit the resurgence to mature adults wanting to scratch that nostalgia itch and younger gamers discovering what all the fuss was about in games with hand-drawn aesthetics, genuine challenge, simple-but-fun-focused play mechanics, and a complete lack of loot boxes, DLC, or any other “the game you just paid 60 bucks for isn’t really the compete version”-style shenanigans.
20 classic titles available almost immediately after long-awaited surprise announcement, retro controllers on the way too.īarring the actual days of the 16-bit era, demand for 16-bit-era games has never been higher.
