Japan gets a sumo wrestling game by tecmo. Can't remember the name.

 

[Abicus]

Just two games?

 

[_zoipi]

Two games each month is a complete joke after they shut down the Wii Channel. Now they can have a cool retro library but it's slower than in Wii U days.

 

[PadWarrior]

I really don't get this two games a month deal.

 

[Platy]

Two big games !
Yeah, nintendo is not taking its time to space the nes games through the year

 

[fiendcode]

2 again?! Wtf is going on?

 

[JayBee]

Those are 2 big games. Both worth playing for anyone

Tsuppari Oozumou? It was on the Famicom Mini.

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

I was hoping Mario 2's absence up until now was a hint that GBA games starting with Super Mario Advance weren't too far off.

...I didn't think it was realistic. But I was hoping.

 

[Xtortion]

SOUP-SOUP-SOUPAH MARIO BROS TWO

 

[pswii60]

I really thought they'd be going in harder with this and we'd be on to the SNES games soon.

 

[sibarraz]

I'm actually happy that kirby is here, always wanted to try the series and people told me that this game was good

 

[Yukinari]

This service has degraded its drip feed in a matter of months. Im impressed how awful this service is with every passing day.

And no the SP games do not make up for there only being 2 games. We got more games on Wii VC each month than this.

 

[Ricky64]

Ok. We won't get every good nes game before the successor to the switch is out.

 

[DanarchyReigns]

Woo...
You know, if you really want to make the service worth it Nintendo, give us these Japan only games.

 

[Trrzs]

This is getting worst every month.

 

[kirbyfan407]

Both of these games are single-player only, right? Would they have any online functionality added?

 

[ZhugeEX]

Japan gets 3

 

[panama chief]

Boy that $19.99 is paying for itself!!!! Golly.

 

[Gold Arsene]

Always up for more Mario 2.

Hope SNES games come soon.

 

[maximumzero]

Two of the best games in the library for sure. Great selection this month.

It's less than $8 if you're smart about it.

 

[nightstalker962]

Just two games is pathetic.

Just play the Famicom versions from the Japanese store.

You can swap controllers when playing single-player games with another player online.

 

[maximumzero]

Surprised nobody posted the trailer:

 

[Chie Satonaka91]

Reminder that if you have a Japanese account, you can down the famicom online app for free, you can freely access the Japan only games.

 

[Sal_S]

The king is here! Long live the king.

 

[Chirotera]

It's no Doki Doki Panic, but I guess it'll do. Sigh.

 

[Chie Satonaka91]

Real talk, these are both fantastic games. I think I'll actually get around to beat Kirby's adventure this time.

 

[jviggy43]

Two whole games that are on my nes mini.

 

[RochHoch]

Why the hell are they dripfeeding these games anyway? Seems like a stupid thing to do when their service would seem 10X more appealing if they were to release some SNES games already and dump a shitload of games on there all at once.

 

[PadWarrior]

No doubt these are great games. I just don't understand why we are only getting two games a month.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

 

[Tohsaka]

Would it kill them to give everyone else a different third game as well instead of just nothing?

 

[Grapezard]

Not even three games now, lmao.

 

[JordianKnot]

Yay....

 

[Rndom Grenadez]

Boy that $19.99 is paying for itself!!!! Golly.

I know this is sarcasm but at the rate they were charging for NES games on the virtual console, the games would have definitely been above $20

Or just translate/give us the japan games as is like the wii did. I dont get it. Especially games like joy mech fight.

 

[Gnorman]

You'd think they would go balls out to try and make the service appealing. 2 NES games a month is like a bad joke.

 

[Kouriozan]

Virtual console died for this, pathetic.

 

[kittens]

both these games are great but this still feels like such a step down from the virtual console

 

[delete12345]

Probably 1 team manages porting NES games over to the Switch, and the other team trying to pull hairs how to get emulation running on Switch without having poor performance.

Poor, as in, not cycle-accurately emulating the games.

My wishful thinking.

This is a joke, right?

20 a year compared to buying all the games that have released so far indivually.

 

[ShinobiBk]

Lol they really did shrink it to 2 games what a fucking joke

And some defended this.

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

2 whole games this month? Whoa Nintendo whoa. You're overloading me here. I can't take all these amazing games all at once.
