Pleasantly surprised to see Breath of Fire, did not expect that in the first batch.
I don't believe it is, this looks like it's a completely unrelated series. This one is by Jaleco originally, the ant one is by D3.
Yeah I think it sets a precedent for Snes online to get 3 games a month for a while at least while nes is pared down to two
In this case, better to have expected less and gotten more, so I'm pretty happy. :) Also, I (and I'm sure others) put a higher value on SNES titles, so there's that too.
Tetris Attack would be heaven but they won't release it because of 'Tetris' in the title, just like they didn't on the Wii VC.
Sim City would be heaven but I'm guessing is blocked by EA. I was deveatated when it was removed from the Wii VC before I had a chance to purchase it.

If I could erase one video game from memory and get to experience it again for the first time, it would be Super Metroid. Savour that shit. Wear headphones.
Tetris will be on the Genesis/MD Classic so perhaps they're becoming a little more lax with the rights. They have a great relationship with Nintendo right now, afterall.
I mean they already got the Tetris license for 99 so who knows
Super excited for this but I really wish they would change how online play works. It needs matchmaking.
Have it be game specific so that you can enter matchmaking mode while you play single player and people can just jump in with you.

Exciting. I'll be happy to rematch my punkass sister in Kirby's Dream Course.
If this service got Tetris Attack, I think I'd scream.
With Kirby's Dream Course available, this is now my one remaining hope and dream for this service. If I could play this online with friends, I'd be mega-happy.
Also, miss me with that Pokemon Puzzle League madness. If you think they're the same, you simply don't know the majesty and charm that Tetris Attack happily vomits up in the most adorable way.

Despite owning the NES mini (and still retaining the original console + games) I was pumped to be able to play the Mario Bros games, Punch Out, Tennis etc on the Switch.
I own the SNES mini, but I don't have the same enthusiasm/excitement to be able to play the SNES games on the Switch itself (well I might perk up a little for Donkey Kong Country lol).
Maybe next year they'll announce some N64 games ?

New NES and SNES games will be added irregularly to the service instead of being monthly releases now.
Hell man if snes gets 2-3 games a month that's going to be amazing considering how much more substantial the games are vs nes games. So hyped.
Well fuck guess I spoke too soon. Hopefully it'll be better than monthly. Not being on a schedule anymore makes me sad though because there won't be something to look forward to regularly. Could lead to nice surprises though I guess

So like what, rare releases? Or possibly bi weekly? i hope the latter...
I might be wrong, but the last time I stayed up for a midnight release (Pokemon Let's Go), I actually had to wait until midnight PT, not ET.
I hope we got the original Panel de Pon mainly because I prefer the original fairies as opposed to the American version which I felt has a misguided localisation. An example is: their use of Tetris in the title was meant to turn heads towards this game, but it has very little in common with Tetris. This has a short-term benefit only because (I believe) the Tetris license is pretty strict on what games should or should not end up on systems, due to the susceptibility to being delisted if a new Tetris game is on the horizon.
thank you for reading.

Yeah that's usually not how it works for me.... I'm pretty reliably able to get stuff at 11 PM and I live in Texas
Could be faster, could also mean they are alternating, could be bigger batches. I'm sure we'll still get stuff regularly. Heck that's what the US site says, that new games will be added regularly.
Likely the rate and mix isn't constant so that's why they mixed up the wording
Now you people can realize there's a true EDF and not the campy series you've been brainwashed into it was.
I'm well past the point of being civil when it comes to Nintendo's online strategy. I'm going to vote with my wallet next-gen and not support them unless there are serious changes regarding the availability of classic games on Switch online. People can call me an entitled gamer if they want but I don't have to give them my money if their product is shite.
Whelp..that made me finally do it
It's my first time subbing to an online gaming on consoles. Got the 12 months offer lol

So anyone have newcomers tips to Breath of Fire? I know old jrpgs have some tricks that can make them a lot smoother or pure hell if you're not careful
But I love campy
Am I the only one who finds it weird that they did not mention save state support for these games? I mean, they have to be there, right? Even the 3DS VC had save states.
This is Super Earth Defense Force and has nothing to do with the campy giant insect series. It's a shmup where your weapons level up as you kill more enemies.
Irregular release schedule worries me a bit. I doubt they'll go too long since they want to keep people subscribed, but...we'll see.
It got released on the Wii U (or 3DS, I forget), so it wasn't impossible. I think we all just expected BoF2 first since Capcom presumably has to deal with Square for the first game.
I do hope that means Square will consider these services soon, but signing off on one game is different from putting on their own stuff. Bodes well for Mario RPG though, I guess.

They're really, finally doing it. And actually getting right after it with Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Kart. Breath of Fire is cool but I hope the big RPGs are coming!
Although I can't read Japanese, I am excited at the possibility to get some Japan only games on the service and forcing my way though them. That will be the benefit of region free in this service. Was great having Famicom online go get the better music and sound options.
I'm very glad for this but I don't totally get why there's the artificial exclusion of some obvious choices. Why not have the first games simply be what is already available on the SNES Mini and build from there?
With Moon: Remix RPG being announced, Mother 3 isn't just possible, it's inevitable.
i think that's how it works at least.
Then what would be the point of owning an SNES Mini?
Awesome to see Breath of Fire on there. Going to finally play that. Also reupping my sub based on this alone
I really don't think that's a big factor. People who bought the SNES Mini to have a lil SNES. They got what they paid for and these games becoming available later on doesn't devalue that.
They're probably going to drip feed the rest like NES online over the year
