Nintendo Switch Online

Today, Nintendo had an all-new Direct. And it…was AMAZING. I talk about what I liked so much about today’s Nintendo Direct below. Today was Nintendo Direct Day. I was prepared for disappointment. As it turned out…I was not disappointed (for the most part). Nintendo delivered the best Direct is a long time in my opinion. What was so great about it? Well, first of all: Nintendo announced not one but TWO additional videos to be premiere in October: The final…

Pac-man 99 is available for Nintendo Switch Online owners and I’ve been a playing it a little. What do I think? Do you have 99 hours? Kidding! I do have some thoughts though. When Pac-man 99 was surprise announced…I was delighted. Seriously. C’mon. Its frelling Pac-man! And in a game where you are trying to survive as long as you can in a game of Pac-man against other players. Just a really cool idea. Pac-man 99 is another game that…

Mario is dead. Okay, not really but Mario 35 is gone. So what’s next for Nintendo Switch Online members? Well…how about Pac-man 99?! Pac-man 99 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch tomorrow at 6 PM PST according to Nintendo of America’s twitter. It will be a Nintendo Switch Online exclusive game like Mario 35 and Tetris 99. It will also have paid off-line DLC much like Tetris 99. The DLC will be available at launch. So what do I…

Are you interested in Overwatch but have never bought it? Are you a Nintendo Switch Online User? If you said yes to both, you are in luck! Nintendo is going to offer a free trial of the full version of Overwatch this month. Overwatch, the full version, will be available to play for free from 10/13 to 10/20. You just have to be a Nintendo Switch Online user! I tried Overwatch once and thought it was okay. I think I…

Back in the Super Nintendo days, I picked up a game called Super Mario All Stars which collected all three orignal Super Mario Bros games plus the Lost Levels. I was so excited to play it and I loved it. And now the collection is on the Nintendo Switch online service. So how is it? Nintendo added the Super Mario All-Stars collection to the Nintendo Switch Online service today as part of the Mario 35th anniversary celebration. I’ve played it…

Donkey Kong Country is on the Nintendo Switch Online Service now (via the SNES app) and so I thought it was finally time to talk about the game. What’s it like playing DKC again? What’s my best memory of the game? When I was much younger, during the SNES era, I was a huge fan of Donkey Kong Country. The first game in the series. I never did play the second or third one back then (still haven’t played the…

Last night, Nintendo announced some new games coming to Nintendo Switch online’s NES and SNES lineup this month. Check out the video for previews of the games and then please come back for some thoughts on them. Star Fox 2, Super Punchout, Kirby Super Star, and Breath of Fire 2 are coming to the SNES Switch online lineup on December 12. Journey to Silus and Crystalis are coming to the NES lineup on the same day. Star Fox 2 made…

Star Fox has gotten a few installments. Nothing like the Mario franchise. Not even like the Metroid franchise. Its gotten more games than Earthbound anyway (what game hasn’t). But in my opinion, there has only been one great Star Fox game and thats the first game. Now its available on Nintendo Switch. Does this game still hold up? The first Star Fox game is the best Star Fox game. Yes, Star Fox 64 was pretty good. Star Fox 2, which…

I try hard to keep this column positive. I like to talk about stuff that I love. But sometimes, I just have to vent. I love Nintendo. I love some many of their games, especially Animal Crossing. But the truth is that their online service isn’t very good! Lets talk about why. I don’t know how anyone else at GamesReviews.com feels about Nintendo Switch online service. All I know is how disappointed I am in it. The following is my…

Nintendo’s online services have always been free…until last week. The Nintendo Switch’s paid online service started last Tuesday. I’ve been playing around with the service for a week and now I have thoughts on it. Check out Adam Roffel’s first 30 minutes video of Nintendo Switch online and then come back to find out what I think of the service! When you get Nintendo Switch Online, there is one must get app from the eshop and thats the Nintendo Entertainment…
