I'm all paid up and have downloaded the N64 and Gamecube apps with no problem, but when it comes to the SNES nope, nothing no downloads?? do I have to pay some extra money, or is there a process I'm not doing.. just can't figure out what the problem is myself.

EDIT:
Aargh! infuriating, Nintendo support is closed.. all I want to do is play some old Snes games on a service I have paid for! are Nintendo going to give me any money back, of course they aren't.

If you go to the NSO app at the bottom and navigate to SNES and click through you'll be taken to a download page for the SNES app

Some playlists: Top All Time Songs, Top Last Year

What exactly is the problem? Can't you find the SNES App?

There is no NSO app at the bottom? just a logo of the SNES and a list of games, exactly the same as it was for the Gamecube and N64 downloads.
I am not doing anything different, I am just clicking on the SNES logo and it is not downloading if I click on a game it is then going to the Nintendo account page and after that 'This page cannot be displayed'
Weirdly after trying this and exiting the eShop none of my games were showing up on the main menu I had to reboot the console for them to appear again.
I think this whole thing smells of a problem with the hardware, surely it shouldn't be so difficult just to access some SNES games on online and the games not showing up is just a mystery.

I can find the SNES App and I'm clicking away at it, it's just not doing anything!

Just search for SNES on the eShop, it'll be there. Or alternatively find the browser version of the store for your region, search SNES, find it there
Here, did it for you: https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download...

Thanks for that but it's still not working, it's asking me to select my download destination, I'm confirming it and it's doing absolutely nothing, no downloads on the Switch 2 either.
This is just crazy now, why can't I access games I have bought and paid for?
Guess I'm just at the mercy of Nintendo now then, I do know one thing though, that I'll never be ordering anything from their online services ever again after this shambolic mess.
Ahh.. the joys of digital gaming!

What about the other apps? Does this also happen on NES, Gameboy and the others or only on SNES specifically?

I Haven't tried yet but I will..

EDIT: OK I've just tried downloading the other apps and the NES works but the Gameboy and Gameboy Advance doesn't it's just completely random what it is 'choosing' to let me install.
This keeps getting worse.. now I can't contact Nintendo Support as they continuously say they're closed for the holiday!
