Thanks for the recommendation! I had a Genesis as a kid but no SNES so all of this aside from Zelda, Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island are new to me.
Guys, I need help. I think I'm stuck in Super Metroid. Please see images below.
I remember you need the dash powerup, which I don't have yet, in order to proceed in the second image. But when I return to the way I came from, first image, the gate is closed and I just can't seem to open it. Is there something I should be doing?
Thanks.

There's a run button that you hold down ala Mario.
It's not speed booster fast, but it'll get you across that breakaway bridge.

And give you an intense feeling of stupidity in the process. It's normal. Don't worry. We've all been there.
Thank you very much! I can't believe I missed the run button. So stupid of me. LMAO.
You're not the first, you won't be the last.
To be fair, Super Metroid's default button-mapping is pretty garbo.
Doesn't help that it's also the only game in the franchise to have a run button.
*See's those two Super Metroid screenshots* *Is happy that he isn't the only one who was having difficulties here*
You know, i played the darned game back when it launched on SNES as a kid. So ... i felt like a fucking clown, and moreso when i finally remembered the "solution" aka the "Run"-button.
Games back then often came with a full walkthrough guide, at least here in Europe. Same with Secret of Mana and Illusion of Time (Gaia) ... and what can i say, it shows how reliant little me was on those guides because old me now fails at the easiest things in these old games. ^^

I think I remember getting the dash powerup before reaching that room the last time I played the game on Wii U. Or I might just be misremembering getting the powerup beforehand.
Anyway, I'm still laughing at myself by the way.

I've never played Pilotwings SNES before. This seems like the sort of thing that I would have been crazy into back in the 90s but I can't figure it out now.
Jump for a skydive -> can't figure out how to move -> just do aerial somersaults -> trying to figure it out and miss the prompt to open my chute -> SPLAT -> "You did this on purpose didn't you"

Sorry if this is a dumb question but do these games have an overall save? Or do you have to always use the save state?
They have the exact same functionality regarding saves as if you were playing them on an actual SNES along with the addition of save states.
The Switch Online page doesn't say "Coming Soon" anymore next to the SNES Controller but I'm still not finding a buy page anywhere.
Edit: Ah, still says Coming Soon here
Just ordered mine. (US Region)

Did you review the controls before starting the mission?
They even let you so that once you select which activity you choose to do.
BOUGHT! I was kind of torn between this or one of the 8bitDo ones so it could double as a regular controller, but eh.
Breath of Fire Update
As of now I have all (I think) party members since all the slots in the menu are filled. My main team is Ryu, Doof Fused Karn, Nina and Bleu. I think I'm 3/4 done with the game. The game is pretty easy but it's great to be able to play this classics with my Switch.
The new battle music is god tier.

Glad I got my order in before it went down!
Just tried and it took awhile but it loaded. Might be getting busy.
Yeah this went out of stock then back in stock. Keep trying!
I had an order go through but didn't get an order number or anything showing in my order history, despite my credit card showing a purchase. I ordered again and this time it went through. Not sure if I'm getting both orders or not.

Ordered mine! An official future-proofed (USB-C) wireless SNES controller is all I've ever wanted.
Wait... It says that my address/Postal Code/Province combo is invalid.... They better not be one of those "We don'T ship to Quebec cause the box is not in French"
"Future-proofed" until the next Nintendo console has USB-D* and you have to buy these all over again!
*I don't know if this is a thing.
USB4 will be a thing, but the connectors are same as C:
Nah I managed to get it... It's even stupidier than that...
I put in my address using "Montreal" for the city... It suggested me to automatically fix my address by using "Montréal" instead... And then errored out on the "é" lol... I redid the process from scratch but kept my address instead of the suggestion and it worked just fine.
Yes, but the updates will be "irregular" according to Nintendo.
I mean yes they will be adding more games to both the nes and Snes ap on a regular basis(although we don't Know when)
Actually Nintendo says regularly on their official site just not monthly for both. I'm kinda expecting monthly updates for Snes till December while nes gets pushed to the back burner for a while
Don't feel bad. Everyone gets stuck here. I still remember having no idea what to do in that spot 20 years ago.
Oh, nice! I'll check that out later when I use the NES app again.
Edit: Just tried X/A with SMB 3, works great, super comfy!

Thank you, it's been answered above and, believe it or not, the answer is to just use the run button to run across the upper platform in the second image. LOL.
Of course the controllers go out of stock within hours, before I find out they're available. Why is all of Nintendo's cool stuff always so freaking limited?
