Nintendo Switch Online’s NES and SNES libraries have really begun digging deep in their systems’ respective backlogs, though this latest haul does feature a game starring Mario… technically.
For the Super Nintendo we’ve gotten Congo’s Caper and Rival’s Turf. Congo’s Caper was a platformer developed and published by Data East and is something of a sequel to Joe & Mac, even sharing part of the same name in Japan. Rival’s Turf, meanwhile, is a Jaleco beat ’em up and the first part of a trilogy followed by Brawl Brothers and The Peace Keepers, which are already available via NSO.
As for the NES it’s finally gotten Pinball, one of the early black-box releases for the system and it’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect, though Mario fans might want to give it a go just to see the aforementioned early cameo of the character during the bonus stages.
You can play these three games now via the NES and SNES Nintendo Switch Online apps.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
