What a Steal

Nintendo released a service called, "Nintendo Switch Online" Where you pay to play with people online or games that let you play online. For a year its only twenty dollars! That's a steal and it comes with a whole bunch of NES games for free. The article The Verge, (I recommend to read the article to understand what I am talking about) Is talking about how online can be a great gaming service. Giving you a nostalgic feeling playing an 8-bit game, on a brand new innovated console.

All the hit original classics that made Nintendo a beloved franchise today. The very first ever game, where they introduced Mario ( Originally known as Jump Man in Donkey Kong) Donkey Kong, where you have to jump barrels, climb ladders, and then save the damsel in distress. The Very first The Legend of Zelda game with one of its most iconic words, "It's dangerous to alone! Take this" Metroid, where you're a space bounty hunter trying to kill the alien Mother Brain. With the game being such a hit and inspiration for many others. It created a whole new kind of genre for video games called, "Metroidvania" There are games yet to be added like, Castlevania, and Final Fantasy. Nintendo is still adding games to its list, which seems to be about every month.

There have also been rumors about Online getting ready for SNES games. The Switch was recently data mined and people discovered SNES title within the files. A couple of games which were on the SNES Classic and some new ones that were not. It isn't confirmed by Nintendo, but it is most likely happening. Now is the matter of fact when its happening, all we have to do now is wait. The Nintendo Switch is revolutionary and redeemed Nintendo form its Wii U console. Combining the new and the old really makes you see how far each and every single game came. Good or bad it is the roots of Nintendo the beginning of one of the most beloved franchises today.
