A Link to the Past: the SNES goes Switch
The Nintendo Switch's online subscription service is going retro. Super Nintendo games became available today. Nintendo is launching 20 classics, including such greats as «Super Mario World», «The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past» and «Breath of Fire».
You have always been able to get old NES games with the paid Nintendo Switch Online Subscription. Nintendo is now expanding its offer with games from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. There's also a matching wireless SNES controller that makes the retro gaming feel even more authentic.

Fitting with the new/old games, there's also a Wireless-SNES-Gamepad.
The controller is sold exclusively to subscribers and costs CHF 33,45.– A maximum of four controllers may be purchased per Nintendo account.
Wow, if that doesn't add value to the Switch. Thanks to the SNES, the subscription now includes a total of almost 50 titles. We can definitely look forward to upcoming games.
