So, these big NES and SNES libraries are available to play as soon as you sign up for Nintendo Online?
I suppose you need to keep the subscription active in order to play the games (like PS+), but do you need to be online to play them?
Any other caveats to the service one should know about before jumping in? It seems too good to be true.

I think the app checks every other week if you're suscribed. You can totally play off line outside these checks.
SNES controllers are available to buy again for Europe 👍 Just ordered 2 and due to arrive between 3/10 - 12/10
Getting the Silver bracelet helps a bunch. Makes encounter rates go way down, and can pretty much clear a fourth of a dungeon floor without having to fight. Just make sure to equip it on who ever is leading the party.
They should add all of the Super Game Boy borders, including the Super Game Boy 2 ones, along with the option to set a damn black border.
Started Link to the Past today for the first time. (I played a little bit years ago but never really got anywhere)
I made it to the dark world after beating the wizard. I really like it so far. Died quite a bit, but that is because I like to play aggressive more than anything. I really like how your progress is saved if you die in a dungeon. It makes the game more forgiving. I was surprised how the master sword came that early in the game (compared to BOTW and SS). Looking forward to playing more tomorrow!

If you've played Wind Waker, it's because the master sword is more like in that game...
It's got to be upgraded to reach it's full potential, twice.
Having a character with high agility and/or ACT in the party's lead position has an effect on how frequent random battles occur, from my experience.
Haven't played Windwaker (I have a Wii-U copy sitting sealed on my shelf)
Too early to tell. Going by previous months, we should hear something between Tuesday to Thursday. If not by then, then it might by the time to throw in the towel for the month.
Speculation, they're updating the apps on alternating months, So this month is new NES games and next month is new SNES games
Any word when new games will be added?
Edit. Just read above. Needed to bookmark this anyways.

Yet, updates are usually the third week and announcements the second. They still said regular releases and it's likely they may drop nes for a few months for an intial Snes focus. We likely will get something this month
For reference most nes release announcements were on the 9/10 of each month, so don't despair. Heck we even had an announcement on the third week before
My prediction is that we'll get less frequent updates (maybe every 3 or 4 months) with a bigger wave of games (like 5-10) in order to have each update be more hype-inducing, since I imagine they saw that the monthly NES releases weren't actually bringing people back to the app as much as they expected/hoped.
Eh after the holidays maybe, but for the same reason they launched the original service then Snes in September is to get increased interest, I expect monthly additions for Oct/nov/dec then for things to quiet down after, plus most monthly updates get announced on the 9/10(or even later on occasion) so we can't rule it out yet
Why didn't anyone tell me that Kirby's Dream Course is fantastic?
Was going to skip it in my playthrough of the series but seeing as it was readily available here I thought I'd try it out and I love it!
Rewind feature really lowers the frustration as well, up to course 6 of 8 and it's been a cruisy little romp.

It's a fantastic game, it always was and still is, it actually holds up so well that it really makes me wonder why we didn't get any sequel or anything that copies the formula to be honest o.o Enjoy your time with it! :)
Man all this talk about how Link's Awakening lags and remember how a lot of NES and SNES games had all this slowdown as well? I also remember distinctly the frame-drops in Ocarina of Time on an N64 when you shoot Ganondorf with light arrows. As if Nintendo always had perfect polish in their games.
Can't really compare that since N64 games ran at like 20fps. But their track record has been pretty much perfection ever since the Gamecube I think, when it comes to polish and performance.
I need more RPGs on this. I beat Breath of Fire so Nintendo knows the genre is being played snd more titles need to release, pronto!
It's always been one of the best SNES games and one of the games that would be insanely fun to revisit in a new game.
But it never got the credit it deserves.
i was playing my snes while they didn't even exist yet
*stares into the horizon*
I mean we know 2 is in the pipeline as a when not if... what I'm craving is The Legend of the Mystical Ninja!(I mean the entire Quadogy would be cool)
I sold my original Switch before the SNES announcement and I swear I bought the Switch Lite only because of the SNES games. I need more RPGs tho. Man, the SNES has the coolest lineup of any console.
Explains why I have no emotional resonance with A Link to the Past. All I can think about is how much better THREE DIMENSIONAL GAMES are, lol.
Ok, I missed the two hour window in which the controllers where available in Europe yesterday. 2020 it is....
I'm trying to finish a replay of SMW. An honest playthrough, no star road shenanigans. And I've looked online at this point for the solution, but I just want to say that whoever designed Bowser Valley Ghost House's secret exit might have violated the Geneva Conventions.
So I finished Link to the Past today. Wow what a gem. I loved the dungeons the most. The level design was great. So glad I finally played through this game. At this point it falls second place in my favorite Zelda games I have finished behind BOTW.
Next I think I will dab in Demon's Crest.

You're sure you actually finished Link to the Past, right? 😉
Demon's Crest is awesome. But, I believe there is a way for you to not see the whole game. Been forever since I played it. But, you might want to look up what you have to do so you actually do see it all in that one.
Not yet. I'm hoping we get a drop in November or December for the holidays.
I played a few hours of Demon's Crest yesterday. Wow what a crazy game. Definitely was getting some Super Ghoul's and Ghost vibes in the start up. Seeing that Capcom opening screen and sound really took me back. Luckily the game itself is easier than that damn Super Ghoul's and Ghosts game.
As for the game it self, it reminded me of my youth when I would rent a random game and the local video store. The game is really cool with the open world and the power-ups. My only complaint so far is that the hitbox's on the enemies are not very forgiving, although some of the power ups fix that problem.

It's a really cool game that has some rough edges. The non-linear progression is pretty neat.
Oh yea. I also like replaying levels to get multiple endings each time. Having the base levels be short is really nice too for the replayability.
It so is. The theme songs from the various casinos still play randomly in my brain sometimes.
