We’re nearing the first anniversary of Nintendo’s Switch Online subscription service, and the consolemaker wants players to celebrate the big day in style… Super NES games will soon be available to play through a new app. Beginning this Friday, September 5, Nintendo Switch Online will be able to download a selection of 20 Super NES games, with more to come in the future.
As you might expect, the list is littered with some of Nintendo’s greatest triumphs (such as Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, Super Metroid, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past), as well as a few more surprising inclusions (Joe & Mac 2: Lost in the Tropics is a deep cut even among deep cuts). Nintendo was also quick to point out that a trio of titles in the initial collection (Stunt Race FX, Super Soccer, and Super Tennis) will be available again for the first time since their original release back in the 90s.
Here’s the full list:
