Nintendo Switch Online service will launch with 20 NES games


Here are 10 of them

Nintendo’s online service for the Switch will include access to a selection of classic video games from the NES era as part of the subscription service. Today, Nintendo announced some of the games that will be included as part of the Nintendo Switch Online classic games selection.
The 10 NES titles confirmed for the service, which Nintendo refers to as “Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online” in a press release, are:

• Soccer
• Tennis
• Donkey Kong
• Mario Bros.
• Super Mario Bros.
• Balloon Fight
• Ice Climber
• Dr. Mario
• The Legend of Zelda
• Super Mario Bros. 3

Nintendo promises 20 NES games will be available when Nintendo Switch Online goes live in September, meaning 10 classic NES games are still to be announced. New games for the service will be added regularly, Nintendo says.
Those NES games will include some sort of online play as part of Nintendo Switch Online. That includes online competitive or cooperative multiplayer, or simply taking turns controlling the game.
“Friends can even watch each other play single-player games online, and ‘pass the controller’ at any time,” Nintendo said in a release. “Every classic NES game will support voice chat via the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app. It will also be possible to play these games offline.”
