Gamers have been able to play various NES titles on the Nintendo Switch Online service for a couple of months now. Last month, a few more titles were added. Well, Nintendo of America has confirmed that the next few NES games will release on November 14th. Soon, you will be able to play Metroid, Mighty Bomb Jack and TwinBee on the Switch. The official tweet is down below.

Umm… where’s Punch Out, Kirby’s Adventure, SMB Lost Levels and loads of other good games? This is embarrassing…
They did announce the line up through December already. I am still waiting for Kid Icarus and Battletoads, and a Turtles Game too.
Spread out so as to keep the popular titles coming longer. But Mighty Bomb Jack is excellent….. so it’s not a big problem.
Mighty Bomb Jack sounds like a crossover of WayForward’s Mighty series + Bomberman + Jack Bros.
It’s the NES adaptation of arcade classic Bomb Jack. It was made by the same people who did the (excellent) Solomon’s Key, which is already on the Switch online service.
I know what it is, that’s just what it sounds like to me.
Think they’ll put in another SE variant like they did with LoZ?
Meh; I’d rather have Zero Mission on 3DS.
TwinBee is fun, love playing it on my 3ds xl.
The only nes game I want to play is mother. This blows, at this rate we won’t ever get any N64 or GameCube games
Surprised Castlevania/Simon’s Quest aren’t on yet, or were added last month when October is the perfect time of year for the series.
Wake me up when/if Duck Hunt ever gets added.
I feel like it should be 3 new games a week rather than 3 a month. Its disappointing how slow VC releases have been since the Wii, where it was much quicker.
I know it’s fake but I want it

I knew Nintendo’s approach to online would be different that the competition…but this is RIDICULOUS
No Headset, except for certain games
Stupid Phone App
3 NES games- Per Month, & some games are crappy!!
Still having the same online issues as before
I was hoping their online would be somewhat like how the XBOX 360’s was. (Since Nintendo loves to be a generation or 2 behind SONY & M$)
But this reminds me of THE DREAMCAST ONLINE🤣🤣🤣
“3 NES games- Per Month, & some games are crappy!!”
as opposed to PS+ and Xbox Live putting out 1 game a month, which is usually crappy, and if you miss out on last months, it’s gone forever? There are reasons to criticize Nintendo’s online plan, but this isn’t one of them. Especially if your point of comparison is what the services offered in their first three months of existence.
The sad truth is Nintendo didn’t start charging for online because they wanted to use the money to improve their online. They merely saw Sony & Microsoft charging for online so they figured they’d get in on the action. Nintendo is probably still relying heavily on peer-to-peer connections. :/
