I assume the NES service was only meant to last a year and the SNES service may take off from the end of September.

New FCC filings point to SNES style controller for Nintendo Switch
- Thread starter Ninjadom
- Start date
I wonder if it will be the same list of games that was datamined an age ago.
For example, Contra 3 has since been released by Konami as a part of their collection. Would they really allow NSO to compete with their $20 collection?

It made sense to come in September way before the Switch Lite was announced lol.
Not in any way that makes sense. Connected to a docked Switch they'd stick out too far at the bottom and cause the whole thing to wobble.
A perfect opportunity to announce a stupid looking SNES-themed dock!
Hopefully it's announced as part of the September direct, then this time next year we'll have a decent library of SNES games to play.
using an original SNES controller. Can't find my SNES mini version under the mountains of paper on my desk atm.
edit: found it!
smooth out the edges a little to shrink it a tiny bit maybe and you're good.
Well looks like my 1 year anniversay bet on SNES games is still alive and kicking.
No disrespecting the dogbone controller on my watch! I love it ;P
I'd piss myself laughing if it was just one of these but with a flattened top so it could be docked:

Pilotwings is the main 1st party wrong from the SNES Mini line up that needs to be righted. Stunt Race FX was also listed in that datamine from ages ago, wasn't it?
Honestly, I'd be pretty content with the datamined 22 for quite a while.
Is the mini version smaller? Or the NES controller for Switch for that matter?

In that case if the shoulder buttons are moved I guess it could work, even if it looks weird.

I don't have the NES-NSO controller. But I posted a pic earlier in post #3 or #4 of them on the Switch.
My expectation is that it'll take a year to get to at least the 22 datamined. That of course assumes we continue to get 2-3 nes and 2-3 snes games a month... and not say 2-3 of both nes AND snes games where snes frequently gets the shaft of 0-1 per month.
They will probably have a charging cable like Pro Controllers due to their form factor (no straight edge for a rail).
That said, I love your optimism that we'll ever get N64 games. At the rate they're going, they'll be on the third or fourth iteration of the Switch or have totally moved on from the concept by the time the N64 might have come to mind for them.
As I said, I can't imagine some games, like Contra 3 still being on the list.
Konami is currently selling Contra 3 as a part of their $20 collection.
Possibly.
I don't remember what NES launched with, but I remember it being a big enough selection. Perhaps I misremember, but how many games were there.
I have been foiled.
Very unlikely. Those games are likely the launch lineup of the service.
Donkey Kong country trilogy
Mario rpg
Super metroid
Super punch out
Yoshis island
These are the main ones I want

I could be completely naive, but if the NES lineup lasted them a year it's not out of the question the SNES lineup will last two, by which time Switch will be 4.5 years old.
And N64 will last another year until the launch of Switch 2.
What this does mean is definitely no GC or above which makes me sad.
If the datamine proves true, this is how it will look at launch, as far as your wish list is concerned.
So an official SNES controller with standard USB connection. Oh hell yes!
It's likely ZL and ZR. Their NES controller had L & R which together let you access the suspend menu, and work as home and capture system buttons from the emulator. If you use it in other software it'll probably revert to normal ZL & ZR inputs similarly.

If this will be announced before the renewal happens, I will absolutely let it continue just for these. If not, guess I won't be playing any Splatoon or Mario Maker 2 until they do.
But I only wanted to laugh at a picture, not put in work!
I'd expect a SNES game per month till end of the year, 4 in total. Then it could be 0-1.
I know Nintendo hasn't earned any confidence when it comes to putting their classic games on Switch, but you're seriously crossing over into unlikely territory if you expect them to launch SNES for NSO with 1 game.
There will be a bunch at launch.
Adding SNES games would be awesome. I don't even play the NES games, but I'd be all over SNES entries. Hoping too at some point they get rid of that god awful and unnecessary boarder showing the game options.
So no rail.
A USB-C Snes pad with ZL and ZR, will be pretty awesome. My wallet hurts of wanting to get the Super Famicom Version as well.

This is wonderful news. Not sure I'll buy the controllers, but nice to know SNES games should be coming soon-ish!
Oh that's my problem. I could get the NES controllers or just buy the NES classic (refurb in the Nintendo Store is ten bucks cheaper).
I love an official Wireless Nintendo classic controller.
I would love if Nintendo just released these wides. Or just allow 3rd parties to use the molds and produce their own officially licensed retro controllers. Like what RetroBit and Sega are doing. There will always be a market for classic controllers.
