‘Wild Guns’ and ‘Panel de Pon’ are coming to Switch Online next week
[ad_1] Nintendo Switch Online is carrying on the legacy of the Wii’s Virtual Console, and four more games — one NES title and three SNES ones — are being added to the library on May 20th. Rygar may be regarded as a classic, but it hasn’t aged too well, and Operation Logic Bomb isn’t exactly […]

Nintendo won’t deliver NES and SNES games to Switch on a regular schedule
[ad_1] The console maker didn’t explain why it’s shifting its strategy, although it may be a combination of a more established selection and avoiding conflicts. While Switch Online doesn’t have absolutely every retro game players would crave, it now has a decent selection. There’s less of a rush to fill things out. Moreover, Nintendo might […]
