Talking Point: Which SNES Games Do You Want To See On Nintendo Switch Online?

Lufia Rise of the Sinistrals!!! But... Thats's never gonna happen...

Demon's Crest.

NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat 2 😉

E.V.O Search For Eden, what a game.

...

Where's Donkey Kong Country? Does that belong to Rare?

EarthBound, even though I still haven’t finished it on SNES Classic or 3DS VC, haha!

I’d also love to see EB Beginnings come to the NES service since I never got that for Wii U VC.

@Scottwood101 Nintendo owns everything pertaining to DK!

Actually...
I'm thinking to consider 16bit HDMI Portable to play SNES / Super Famicom games on the go. 😏

Killer Instinct
With online matchmaking.
That's all I need.

Super Star Wars trilogy

Four that i can think of:
Secret of Mana
FFIII
Cannon Fodder
Mario RPG

But, quite like the list so far, especially if they enable Mariokart online multiplayer and F-Zero (which I'm sure they said something about back when they were teasing the online system)

I still find it weird that Super Tennis wasn't included on the SNES mini.

Appart from the games datamined and the ones you mentioned (specially all those RPG classics), I'd add the DKC trilogy and Terranigma.
With that, I'd be pretty much done.

Illusion of Gaia
Secret of Mana
Donkey Kong Country trilogy
TMNT IV Turtles in Time

Illusion of Gaia would be nice. I loved that game as a kid.

Sonic 3. Yep. Will happen.

@Scottwood101 No. It's a Nintendo property, so it could be included. Whilst we're at it, I'd like DKC 2 and 3 too 😉👍🏻

Never before played Kirby Super Star and really hoping I'll finally get to on the wonder that is Nintendo Switch. Also really hoping for a few that you mentioned, SMRPG, Secret of Mana, Actraiser and one that you didn't mention, FFIV. All games I've never played before and Switch is the perfect platform to finally get around to them.

I’m guessing they’ve only listed the games that Nintendo has the full rights to or those it knows it can get.

I’d love Terranigma on there but doubt it. Even though I paid through my nose for a copy.

@Bunkerneath Snes Mario Kart online, that is the best idea I have EVER heard!!!!!

But would also like Killer Instinct, Link to the past, Chrono Trigger, and of course a few others.

@Scottwood101
E.V.O. is really cool! It's not such a super good game if you ask me, but it's so conceptually interesting that I still love playing it

@RickD Meh. That's why we can't have nice things...
KI would be so awesome to see. Have some great memories playing this on SNES back then, and feeling the blisters grow on my thumbs, lol

Please something that’s not already been on the Wii. Wii u 3ds eshop. Snes mini etc etc

UNIRALLY although as mentioned before unlikely (hoping for an indie switch release..)

JURASIC PARK

TAZ-MANIA

MARIO PAINT

Marsupilami for mega drive (Come on Sega, we want a Mega Drive emulator too)

@RickD does it because it’s on the SNES mini maybe they have some sort of licence to use it

Dkc trilogy
Super metroid
Super Mario world
Zelda
Etc
All best snes games please

Online enabled Goldeneye or Perfect Dark would be too good to be true.

Although as a 1.1 honey user, I don't think I could get used to a dual stick set up for that game. Weird how my mind won't accept it only for those two.

It will be difficult because Konami seems to almost make deals with Sony exclusively (hello? Castlevania Requiem? Arcade Archives of Konami games not being on Switch?), but Turtles in Time would be great.

@Gs69 It's not. Maybe in yours after some tweaking LOL

Actraiser
Axelay
Final Fight 3
Super Aleste
Top Gear 2

...and Fire Emblem - Seisen no Keifu deserves a localized remake

Well, I just booted up my WiiU in Wii mode and had a look at my virtual console titles and theres a few there that were never released on the WiiU's VC service or the SNES Classic, however to be honest I really crave the Japan exclusive Fire Emblem games!! There would be more effort required for these with translations etc however to get the Earthbound Origins game proves theres an appetite and market, so I'd love to see that happen.

Hard to say, really. The SNES has the best library of any console in history, there's so many classics that I don't even know where to begin.

@Trajan those are N64 games also owned by Rare (Microsoft)

Virtual Console.

Yoshi's Island is on there, aka my favourite game ever,that's all that matters.

All hail our SNES overlords... Stunt Race FX!!!

Rock 'N' Roll Racing would be very welcomed, loved this game

@Medic_alert that’s some education for me today I just assumed if they used it they owned it hopefully they would have done the double licensing deal and it appears on the online service

I'd be down for any RPG goodness. Add some meat to the service.

UN Squadron and Super Smash TV please.

@Bunkerneath I know. But back then Rare was Nintendo. Those are my dream.

In addition to 1st party, I’d want Mortal Kombat 2 with online play.

An updated version of Mario Paint with the ability to share creations online (sort of like the unofficial PC version that's been floating around for years) & with 8 Bit / 16 Bit & N64 sounds. We can dream right?!

Sanrio World Smash Ball. Absolutely brilliant. Area 88, Parodius and Super Tennis.

KILLER INSTINCT, the SNES got a great port. That one is most important to me, still have my original cart....Would also like UN Squadron, and MK2....I know the Street fighters are coming...but since the arcade versions are already released on cart in the Anniversary collection it's less important to me. Being able to play those on a possible future SNES wireless controller like the NES currently has would be pretty dreamy!

@Medic_alert if anything that increases its value for subscribers though.

Super Mario RPG and the Final Fantasy titles.

Also, if I am dreaming, English versions of the SNES Fire Emblem titles. (Yes, I know that is about as likely as Nintendo allowing and publishing AO content, but I can dream!)

@Medic_alert Jungle Strike would be superb but knowing EA probably unlikely. Such a shame that series has been abandoned for so long.

Super Bomberman (all of them)

@Medic_alert By that logic then the NES and SNES classic would piss off Switch users. Get two controllers and a system with games to keep forever for the price of two wireless controllers.

@THENAMESNORM 2nded for the Japan Fire emblem games.

I would love to see Puyo Puyo Tsu Remix which had 4 player support. Also some Panel De Pon.

@Medic_alert The stotage argument doesnt make that much sense since each SNES game is only about 4mb. The entire library takes up less space than the Switch OS.

@Medic_alert so this is the reason that certain games go missing on retro compilations when people get outraged that their favourite isn’t on but has been in the past I’m thinking the megadrive collection some games are on the PSP version that are not on the switch version and vice versa even though the PSP version came out years ago

Super Castlevania IV
Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Super SF II Turbo
and finally the underrated masterpiece
Mario is Missing!

@RadioShadow You beat me to it. Yes, puzzle games. The Tetris/Dr. Mario combo, Tetris Attack, Kirby’s Avalanche.

Yoshi Island is one of my favorites, and then many other fantastic titles ... SNes is Amazing!!

A lot of people complaining that Nintendo has released these on other consoles several times and yet I’ve missed the boat on many SNES titles. I’ve never beaten Super Mario World, but I’ve played enough. I’ve done LttP and Super Metroid. Aside from these, everything would be pretty new for me. I’d want some Square RPGs and anything else Nintendo wants to throw in

@Beatley82 Ahhh I forgot about Smash TV! Loved it. Be so good if it implemented the dual analogues....

Has someone said Ogre Battle yet!? ...and Tactics Ogre.

Parodius, Plok, Prince of Persia, Smash Tennis (in lieu of Super Tennis) and Zombies Ate My Neighbours.

Just Super Mario RPG, please.

At this point I'm accepting anything else but NES games...
So anything from the SNES era would be great!

@Medic_alert Yep there's a lot of licensing loopholes, and as you said some software companies might have already decided to release their own versions. For example Megadrive and Neo Geo Virtual Console are gone for good now that Hamster's releasing the Arcade Archives back catalogue, and Sega's bringing their own games over. Not counting software companies that are just plain dead.

Actraiser, Cybernator and Wing Commander.

Warp speed and NHLPA 93 for the hell of it.

Any JRPG that was never translated

Super Metroid, Super Castlevania IV, Super Ghouls and Ghosts,Zelda Link to the Past, Super Mario World, The Super Star Wars Trilogy, The Disney Collection.

Tetris Attack

Terranigma!! Worldwide!!!!

Loads of great snes games so much so that I would rather save your time and not reel off a list. Just saying I’m excited to get this party started

@Medic_alert one of my favourite Dreamcast games yet when I played it on the GameCube I didn’t enjoy it as much seems stupid really it’s the same game but different sound track plus a lot of the destinations had changed obviously due to licensing

I have a Wii U. I’m mostly good.

I'd love some Actraiser. I'd probably play some Plok, Aaah Real Monsters, Robotron, Terranigma, E.V.O., Macross.

None of that Scooby-Doo crap. Keep that far away from me.

Uniracers (Unirally in the UK). It was an excellent original multiplayer racer.

Everything on the snes classic. The other DKC games, old Square games (Illusion of Gaia, Actraiser 1/2, Terranigma etc), Ogre Battle man there are so many! Really hope this happens soon.

My first priority would be getting Mega Man X2 and Chrono Trigger as their exclusion from the SNES mini was my biggest gripe with it.
I'd love to see the SNES Dragon Quest games get localized, though I suppose a separate collection would be more likely.

Anyone that doesn't vote for Secret of Mana of Final Fantasy 6 is a SKEEZE.

I want a version of Street Fighter 2, only because that will mean the Switch would officially have 3 different versions of the same game.

I want Actraiser 2 and Skyblazer.Great games.

A link to the past (I wish there was a Master Quest for this one)
Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Seiken Densetsu 3
Secret of Evermore
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Yoshi's island
And another 200 games

But bring me that first list and you have another subscriber to that useless service!

I want all of them!!!

@MH4 Earthbound!! I keep saying to myself, "play this game"; and I too own a SNES Classic. But there's something about that game that screams portable. I'm hoping this is all true and Earthbound eventually gets released so I can finally play it on the Switch. In fact, if this gets released on the Switch, I promise to finally play it.

Other than Super Mario RPG and Secret of Mana I have all the SNES games I really like on my 3DS already, and I have those two on other things, so honestly I couldn't care less.

How about we slow our collective roll and wait for them to actually, you know, ANNOUNCE it before we get too far ahead of ourselves?

To be honest, I don't get how there could be so much excitement about snes games. Don't get me wrong, I love them but---they've been released, save for Stunt Race FX which, to be honest, wasn't that great of a game back in 1994, and it's borderline unplayable now.

I honestly prefer the current model for Switch's retro releases: it's out-virtual consoling (is that a term that works?) the original Virtual console by a significant margin, and giving the spotlight to some lesser known gems!

If Nintendo is planning to bring SNES games to Switch Online, they're not gonna have every games from the beginning folks. It will start with those 22 games and then slowly adding 3 or less from there on out. That means the good games are not gonna come until much much later so y'all better make the best of it.

I already have most of the SNES I wanted through the VC & SNES Classic. I'd rather see stuff like Lagoon, Super Double Dragon & Wanderers from Ys 3...

Assuming the data mine is correct and taking those games out of the equation. Id like all donkey Kong games, castlevania games, secret of mana as I've never played much of it but really want to, or really any solid single player campaign games. Earthbound to finally play that on the go.

Secret of Mana, EarthBound, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG and Final Fantasy III about sums up the games I want to see.

As of yet, Nintendo has failed to offer anything on the NES side I want, and it looks like they will fail with the SNES too

I'd rather pay to have access to them at any time (ive it bought any snes VC before). With that said I'd love to see some licensed titles TMNT 4 Turtles in Time, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, MMPR the Movie, MMPR Fighting Edition, Power Rangers Zeo Racing, Castlevania 4, Castlevania Dracula X, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs.....etc!

To keep it simple everything ever released on the system so that way no one is left out!

N64 games. I have been longing to play Mario 64, Mario Party 2 and 3, Bomberman 64 and Donkey Kong 64. I skipped the Wii U after hearing of the NX.

Edit: I didn't read the title well and I assumed that it said which games do want to see in Nintendo Switch Online. My mistake 😅

That Tiny Toon Adventures game you have in the photo for starters.

Mario Kart with online multiplayer added.

I've never played the SNES Castlevanias, so those would be nice to show up. Super Metroid on a portable for the first time (for me at least) would be welcome, but other than that there's no games I'm looking to replay really.

Seeing the Tiny Toons game in the picture, I use to have that for my Super NES, would love to play it again. Fond memories playing it, in my opinion one of the best cartoon tie-ins I have ever played. I believe it was called Buster Busts Loose here in the US.

Edit: I should mention, yes, this is a game I'd like to see come to the Nintendo Switch Online service, even though it may not happen due to licensing obviously.

@Scottwood101 no.DK thankfully is all Nintendo so they could easily be added without a hitch.

The ones they feel they can do something interesting with.

Bill Lambiers Combat Basketball

I'm always in favor of people having access to The Ninja Warriors(Again), by Natsume. One of my absolute favorites on the system. Both Pocky & Rocky games, also by Natsume, are quite good.

Soulblazer!!!

Illusion of Gaia!!!

Terranigma!!!

CHRONO TRIGGER.

Most absent "must have games" are third party games, so licencing fees and negotiations make it more difficult to include than your standard SMW....
Dont get your hopes to high.

D. K. C.
NBA Jam T. E.
Super Tennis
NBA live 97
Iss Pro deluxe

I'd love to see the whole Soul Blazer trilogy of games, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and being in the US would love to see Terranigma for the west since we never got it. I have never gotten around to playing it and would prefer to play it legally on the Switch. Another couple of games most wouldn't think of Robotrek, and Twisted Tales of Spike McFang.

@RadioHedgeFund 8 player multiplayer added!

How about some of the ones that are expensive to buy carts for like Hagane? Also i'm surprised no one in comments has mentioned The Firemen.

Would "all of them" be a reasonable answer?

Side note - I like how the classic mini console has a QR code that links to instruction manual scans. The online service needs this.

Plok!

And screw this comment rule that you can’t just leave one world. Plok! was all that needs to be said, yet I’m forced to write these words just so I can comment at all.

Some of the great ones I haven’t seen represented are Super Double Dragon, Earthworm Jim, Shadowrun, and Yoshi’s Cookie.

It’s a shame that two of my favorite SNES games of all time will never come to Switch because of licensing issues. Those being NBA Jam and Turtles in Time. Fantastic memories with those games and would be perfect for quick multiplayer sessions. Wait while I pass a final tear in my beer.

And for everyone’s sake get those 8 bit and 16 bit Castlevanias over to the Switch. It’s seems like a horrible waste to have NES and SNES emulators without those masterpieces in the library.

@BanjoPickles Yeah I hear you. Those collections so far have been great and a real bang for your buck. It’s just a shame so far nobody other than Capcom, SNK, Namco, and Sega have been trying to rerelease older games. Everyone just needs to keep expectations in check and not expect their obscure gem will make it over.

@Medic_alert Great picks. The Lost Vikings would be great.

@WiltonRoots super tennis, what a game. Played that to death back in the day. Still plays great

Can I say anything?

Secret of Mana, EarthBound, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, FF4, & FF6.

All of them lol

Chrono Trigger, Earthbound and my all-time favourite MARIO PAINT! What else do you need?

If this is true, I would love to play Super Mario All Stars for only one reason (lost levels)

Chrono Trigger and Earthbound, but also why not all the Donkey Kong Countries?

Harvest Moon. Link to the Past. The Donkey Kong Snes games(only played them in a hotel room). Mario Kart Snes. Star Wars Snes games. All the Mario Snes games. Kirby Snes games. And more.

RPGs that didn't make it onto the SNES mini like Chrono Trigger would be nice.

@Mr_Pepperami It was my favourite tennis game until Virtua Tennis stole its crown on the Dreamcast. It was super playable from the get go and definitely one of my favourite SNES titles.

@jbizzle812 Soul Blazer was great...had a good time playing through that.

I want Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven stars and Teenagme Mutant Ninja Turtles IV Turtles in time however Nintendo deems too make them available on the switch

Besides the ones mentioned in the article:

EarthBound, Illusion games, Axelay, Super Castlevania IV and BS Zelda no Densetsu - Ancient Stone Tablets (that would make them boss level)

Also, gimme Zelda WindWaker HD and Paper Mario - The Thousand Year Door!

GON and Taekwondo for (SNES)

@WaveBoy I don't agree with them charging for those games anymore where they had $7.99 that was a total rip off. I grew up with those games but i am all for getting them again if its included with a yearly sub of $20. Just gives more titles to play without spending a fortune for new games.

The SNES games I want on switch:

Ninja turtles 4 turtles in time
Super Double dragon
Donkey Kong country 1, 2 & 3
Jurassic park
The legend of Zelda a Link to the past
Aliens 3
F zero
Chronno trigger
Super Mario world
Super Mario kart
Yoshi island
Earthbound
Mortel kombat
Spider-Man
Super Metroid
Super punch out
Killer instinct

And surely others awesome games that I don't remember in the present moment.

SNES The best console ever!!

DKC trilogy would be awesome. Oh, and Tetris Attack as well!!!

Cybernator please!

@WaveBoy i agree.

I'mean I never really had the VC experience as it came about when i stopped buying games consoles (Wii days i believe?), however, growing up i owned many of the classic games on my original NES, SNES and N64.

Nostalgia had already suckered me into buying the MINI NES and SNES which btw are both gathering dust! so honestly, i love retro but I'm over these old Nintendo games and quite frankly couldn't care less that they were coming to the switch online.

I’d like The Chaos Engine because I can’t get it to work on my SNES mini.

@Outspoken
I’ll take em if you’re not using em. 😊

Lufia: Rise of the Sinistrals and Final Fantasy IV. Even if we would only get those two...it would make me play hundreds of hours again and I would even gladly pay for the eh, 'underwhelming' Nintendo Switch Online eh, 'service'.

Sunset Riders
Hagane
Pocky & Rocky
Super Metroid
Castlevania IV
UN Squadron
Link to the Past
Zombies ate my neighbours

Lots and lots of good hitters mentioned already. Not much I can really add, so I'll just spit out a list and let it lay where it lay.

Soulblazer
Illusion of Gaia
Terranigma
Seiken Densetsu III
Lufia & The Fortress of Doom
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals
Secret of Evermore
Act Raiser 2
Super Valis IV
Super R-Type
Joe & Mac
Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Shadowrun
Super Double Dragon
Shodai Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun

A lot of great choices among you. I’d want to see Gameboy games with Super Gameboy features, personally.

@VR32X Super Gameboy would be awesome!

@Anti-Matter #souljaboypocket

While we're at it bring sunset riders as well

@WaveBoy

The whole point of Switch Online classic console content is to avoid having to pay over and over and over again. They can build up this offering and you get to choose whatever you want to play, rather than paying $5 per NES game, $7 per SNES game, $9 per N64 game, etc, and hoping that the experience is worth those $. Instead, you get all of the games in the service, along with online Smash/Splatoon/Arms/Pokémon/etc, for $20/year, and much less if you can find some friends or family to share the cost.

You're not buying it again if you're streaming it a la Netflix. It's a much more economical way to play, especially if you were going to online multiplayer Smash anyway.

Turtles in Time! Turtles in Time! Turtles in Time!

1. Chrono Trigger
2. Ogre Battle (sorely underappreciated)
3. Killer Instinct
4. NBA Jam (90s multi at its best)
5. Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (pipe dream).

@WaveBoy The Switch is my first Nintendo console. True, I have emulated a few SNES games in the past (I actually didn't know what a NES or a SNES was before I took an interest in emulation; though I played some NES games as a kid on bootleg hardware), but I would jump on the occasion to play some of those games, like Chrono Trigger, legally. Since the PC port of CT is awful I would more than welcome it on Switch.

So no, not everyone has played or bought these games multiple times already, because not everyone jumped to buy every Nintendo console. It's not just "youngsters" who never knew those games either.

Not to mention the console's hybrid nature makes it very easy to share playing those games with other. In fact the whole hybrid thing alone means I would want as many games for it as possible, even 30-year old ones.

All the Marios
Secret of Mana
super tennis damn it super tennis !!!

Secret of Mana and Terranigma would be my #1 dreams, but it's probably not going to happen. As for what's in that list, Kirby Super Star and Yoshi's Island.

While I still own an original SNES, the "best experience" for me is not having to sit in front of a TV. Been playing exlusively on handhelds since the DS for health reasons.

The SNES, for me, was one of my favorite consoles of all time. It just had so much goodness to choose from. Chrono Trigger is one of the best RPG's ever made, so of course I'd love to see it there. For the Nintendo Streaming, however, I doubt they'd drop a title of that caliber. Most likely, they will add Nintendo franchise titles, and maybe a few others they can still gain the rights to.

Aside from the staples, like Mario World, DKC and Mario Kart, the games I'd most love to see are New Horizons: Uncharted Waters, Super Mario RPG, and Earthbound.

All of Capcom's SNES releases please.

The 3 amazing RPG's.
Secret of Evermore
Terranigma
Illusion of Gaia

And for the dungeon crawlers!
Eye Of The Beholder
Dungeon Master
Might and Magic II/III
Arcana
Wizardry V

I remember UN Squadron, Desert Strike, Prince of Persia and Super Star Wars being particularly good. Plok also deserves to be on that list for its soundtrack alone.

Smash TV---lots of mindless fun--BIG MONEY!!!!

@frogopus mine too!!! It's so sad almost no one knows it, which means it never made the virtual console and probably won't make nintendo online.. Well, gonna cross my fingers anyway 😊😊😊
