Honestly, I’m okay with Castlevania and Contra being left in the past. There hasn’t been an indisputably great entry since Aria, maybe Dawn, and IGA isn’t coming back. I would love to see a return to the series’ roots, but I doubt that will ever happen.
Contra has seen two good entries in twenty-five years: Contra 4 and Shattered Soldier. The latest was bottom of the barrel. The series deserved so much better!
Honestly, though, with games like Blazing Chrome, Hollow Knight, and so many other run and guns/Metroidvanias, does the world really need another piece of crap like Mirror of Fate, or Rogue Corps?
What’s really awesome is that, apart from a number of licensed titles that will probably never see the light of day, I have my entire childhood arcade experience on Switch in the form of the Konami arcade collection, Namco Arcade, Johnny Turbo, Arcade Archives, and Sega Ages.
If we could somehow get the following, I would have every arcade game I’ve ever cared about:
-Crazy Taxi -TMNT -The Simpsons -X Men -NBA Jam (not a chance) -Die Hard Arcade -Virtua Fighter -Pit Fighter -Super Punch Out -Kangaroo
Honestly, I would love to see a Final Fantasy VI remake in the same style as the Final Fantasy VII remake. VII is good, but I’ve never understood how people put it above VI.
For whatever reason, I don’t really care to have a a Viewtiful Joe 3. No, what I really want is an upscaled collection of the series (1, 2, DS, and the game that was released on PSP).
-GTA V (after playing Witcher III, I believe it’s possible) -The Shenmue Collection -Dark Souls II and/or III -licensing deals for The Simpsons Arcade, TMNT, X-Men, and so forth. Will it happen? Not a chance! -HD remasters of select GameCube games. -Red Dead Redemption 1
Man, people were whining when the games weren’t coming, and.....they’re whining when they do? Sorry, but what has been released is well worth the $20 investment.
Another thing to consider are all of the gamers, myself included, who own more than one console. Aside from the games already listed, I have to finish Shenmue II, buy III, and I have Last of Us 2 on the horizon.
No matter what, backlogs are more of an issue than a dearth of quality software.
I agree. Even if I took out the fact that I have a full time job, a family, and school, I’d still be falling behind on all of the games I want to play. 20 snes games dropped in September, right? Many of those games take at least a few hours to complete—Link to the Past, Mario World, Super Metroid, Yoshi’s Island, Earthbound—and those are just the games that come with the online service. In the past few months, we’ve seen Luigi’s Mansion 3, Pokémon Sword/Shield, Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest XI, Astral Chain, Witcher 3, and countless great games come out on the eshop.
1). Super Castlevania IV is out, due to its inclusion on the Castlevania collection. 2). Contra III is out because of the Contra collection. 3). Secret of Mana is out due to the Mana Collection. 4). Mega Man 7 is out due to the collection. 5). X 1-3 are out. 6). Square Enix would probably release Chrono Trigger, FF IV and VI on the Eshop individually. 7). Wild Guns is out due to the remake. 8). Sim City is out due to copyright issues. 9). TMNT IV copyright issues. 10). Final Fight 2 and 3 could eventually be released. 11). Act raiser 1 and 2 haven’t seen a single rerelease. 12). Zombies Ate My Neighbors could eventually see a release. 13). DKC 2 and 3 could see a rerelease.
Whose bright idea was this? It looks like garbage, plays like crap, and it has a PS1 feel to it! What sucks is that this game is going to be torn to pieces, flop, and Konami won’t even consider making another one for at least another ten years!
Absolutely! Even if Nintendo didn’t release another game for the SNES online, we now have more than our money’s worth! This service shouldn’t be the centerpiece of the Switch’s library, but people are making it out to be.
Also, when SNES games were just a rumor, how many did you think we’d get at launch? Five? Maybe ten? No, they gave us twenty! They gave us almost every first party title in the original launch window (Pilotwings, Mario World, F-Zero), and three of their very best games of all time (LttP, Super Metroid, and Yoshi’s Island)! Apart from the DKC trilogy, Super Punch Out, Earthbound, and a few others, they essentially gave us most of their SNES games in one day! Unlike the NES offerings—many of which were also great—the bulk of these games will take time to plow through!
So, where do we go from here? Bring on the N64 games! What, no Goldeneye?! This service is such a ripoff!
Honestly, I don’t see it as a big deal. If you just signed on for a full year, you get, what, sixty-plus 8/16-bit games, many of which are classics? There are also a lot of games that simply aren’t going to appear on the service because they’re available in separate compilations (Castlevania, Mega Man, Street Fighter II, Contra).
Also, given the sheer volume of games that are coming out in the immediate future, snes games are somewhat of a low priority. I can’t keep up!
I’m overwhelmed, brother! I mean, Astral Chains on Friday, Mana Collection next Tuesday, Link’s Awakening in a few weeks, Daemon X Machina less than two weeks later, followed by Witcher 3, then Luigi’s Mansion 3, then Pokémon, Doom Eternal......and I still haven’t gotten around to playing Fire Emblem, Wolfenstein Youngblood, Mortal Kombat 11, Friday the 13th (my favorite horror franchise, so I’m excited to play the game), Warframe, and so many others!
Honestly, one of the cool things about being a Switch owner, who has been through the third party ups and downs, is that I don’t get mad when a game doesn’t make it over, but excited by those that do. I’ve seen my share of droughts on Nintendo consoles, and.....Switch doesn’t have them.
As somebody who has played through almost every entry, save for III and VIII, I’m loving the demo so far! I’m really hoping this game sells well, at least for a Jrpg! It’s really good to have this series back on a Nintendo console!
Annoying opinion: if it isn’t Super Mario 3, Punch Out, Zelda, or Kirby, it’s garbage that I don’t want.
VPD is actually a really fantastic game! Come on, already! Step out of your constant demand for things that have been rereleased a million times, across several platforms, and try something new! By doing so, you’re sending the message that hidden gems are appreciated, and that will have a positive impact on their inevitable SNES releases.
Then buy it there. Why do people assume that porting a game across completely incompatible platforms is as easy as copy and paste? Thousands of hours probably went into porting the game, and the perk is being able to carry the game anywhere you go.
$60 is very reasonable, considering it includes all DLC. What, were you expecting them to invest all of the time and resources only to release it for $20?
Between Mario Maker 2, Fire Emblem, Astral Chains, Link’s Awakening, Luigi’s Mansion, Pokémon, a slew of third party gems, and the release of the Switch Mini, the console is going to level Sony and Microsoft this holiday season!
And I’m sure that Nintendo was cutting them in on the $80 slice of the pie. If Square Enix wants to release any of their games on Switch, I’m sure they’ll take the Collection route, or individual releases.
-FF IV-VI -Secret of Mana -Secret of Evermore Chrono Trigger -Actraiser 1 or 2 -TMNT, or any of the awesome licensed Konami games. -Sim City -Mega Man anything -Castlevania IV/Dracula X -Contra III -Any of the Street Fighters
Mega Man, Contra, Castlevania, and Street Fighter have collections available. Square Enix is not going to allow their SNES library to be given away for nothing, and they also have a Mana Collection.
No offense, but some of you are being laughably unrealistic.
Sorry to be THAT guy, but......big deal? If you want SNES games on the go, dust off your 3DS, which has games available that will never hit the Switch online service (Super Castlevania, Dracula X, Mega Man X 1-3, Contra III). You also have the option of the SNES Classic, the Wii U VC, etc. SNES games on Switch isn’t really all that major. Now, if they offered N64 or GC games, THAT would be something!
You’re basically begging for something that is readily available.
Those complaining about this month’s new games most likely have never even played Vice Project Doom, which is a hidden gem in the console’s library. Think Ninja Gaiden with guns.
At least they’re offering something of substance this month!
It’s such a perfect in-the-Dark game, and I can’t believe it took me so long to realize how good it really was! It also has the amazing ability to make you feel both powerless AND empowered! The 2016 game, which grabbed me immediately on Switch, had that same dynamic!
I’ve never been able to get into Doom, for whatever reason.....but I downloaded this a few days ago and, somehow, I’m hooked! I now understand why this game is held in such high regard! It gets ridiculously hard, though!
Considering how poorly Assassin’s Creed III, Saint’s Row the Third, and even a game like Bloodstained (a game Switch should have been able to run in its sleep) have turned out, I’m not hopeful for Witcher III.
What you’re probably referring to is the 3rd party support. SNES is one of my all-time favorite consoles, and I would agree with you that SNES had some of the best 3rd party exclusives of all time.....but those exclusives have become a rarity across the board. It’s impractical for third parties to commit to one platform.
To say that Switch has five games, though? Even Atari Jaguar had more than five good games! Lol
-Splatoon 2 -Mario Odyssey -LoZ: BotW -Mario Kart 8 Deluxe -Xenoblade 2 -Super Smash Bros. Ultimate -Hollow Knight -Cuphead -Celeste -Octopath Traveller -Golf Story -DKC: Tropical Freeze -Super Mario Maker 2 -Fire Emblem: Three Houses -Stardew Valley -Mario + Rabbids -Pokémon: Let’s Go -Sonic Mania -Doom -Wolfenstein II -Dragon Quest 11 -South Park: SoT/FBW -Dark Souls Remaster -Hellblade -Mortal Kombat 11 -Final Fantasy 7-9 -Resident Evil 4-6 -Castlevania Collection -Contra Collection -Street Fighter Anniversary Collection -Crash NSane Trilogy -Spyro -Crash Team Racing -Collection of Mana -the upcoming Link’s Awakening Remake -Luigi’s Mansion 3 (October) -Pokémon Sword and Shield -Astral Chain -the upcoming Bayonetta 3 -Bayonetta 1 and 2 -Daemon X Machina -Animal Crossing (March) -Dead Cells -Witcher III -Dragon Quest Builder -Minecraft -countless arcade games from the likes of Sega, SNK, Data East, Capcom, Konami, and Nintendo themselves
Yes, there are several games that are rereleases/anthologies, but they’re still great games and they contribute to a library that is Nintendo’s most impressive in a very long time.
Factoring in the launch of the Switch Lite, the new Pokémon, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Link’s Awakening, and the existing library, I would be surprised if it didn’t surpass the SNES by Christmas!
That’s cool and all, but......I seriously don’t know how anybody could make that many courses without crapping them out! I’ve put a lot of time into the game, and I’m currently working on my sixth course!
I didn’t “punish” them by buying the game on a different platform. Sorry, but as a multiplatform owner, I’m not going to buy the game on PS4 to reward them for crapping out a port on Switch. The Switch should have been able to run this game with ease! I have more than enough to play, and Metroidvanias are rampant on Switch.

Re: Talking Point: What's Happened To Switch's NES And SNES Games, Nintendo?
Well, let’s look at this logically:

2). Contra III is out because of the Contra collection.
3). Secret of Mana is out due to the Mana Collection.
4). Mega Man 7 is out due to the collection.

Side by side, if you’re looking at only first party games, it’s actually more equal than you think:
SNES had one Mario, Switch has one new Mario and a rerelease
SNES had one Zelda, Switch has one new Zelda and an upcoming Remake.
SNES had the DKC trilogy, Switch has DKC: Tropical Freeze
SNES had Fire Emblem as a Japan exclusive while Switch has Three Houses.
SNES had Super Metroid, while Switch is getting Metroid Prime 4
SNES had Super Mario Kart, while Switch has Mario Kart 8.
SNES had Kirby Superstar and Dreamland 3 while Switch has Star Allies
SNES had Yoshi’s Island, Switch has Crafted World.
1st party SNES games that don’t have a Switch sequel
-Pilotwings
-F-Zero
-Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball

1st party Switch games that didn’t appear on SNES

What you’re probably referring to is the 3rd party support.
