Could These Vintage Additions Make Nintendo Switch Online the Ultimate Gaming Service?

Nintendo has the immense honor of being one of the few gaming companies entire generations have grown up with. From the engrossing world of the Golden Sun to the exciting adventures of the Italian plumber. Nintendo has been the one-stop-shop for decades worth of nostalgia. Significantly, the Switch is the pinnacle of the Japanese company’s console-making experience.

It has ushered in the future of next-gen gaming whilst allowing access to the evergreen titles of yore for veteran fans. The Nintendo Switch Online service has struck a chord with gamers for this very purpose. However, YouTube channel SwitchForce has an intriguing idea to make the service even more appealing.

Nintendo Switch Online has even more potential

Nintendo Switch Online is a fantastic service allowing users a host of benefits like online play and cloud saves among others. But its most tempting feature has to be the vast library of classic Nintendo titles it offers. With the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, users can play super hit legacy N64 titles like ‘The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’, and more!

Additionally, this service includes retro SEGA Genesis titles like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Golden Axe. But if you thought this service couldn’t get any better, think again. Zach from SwitchForce notes all Nintendo needs to complete the Switch Online package is the humble Game Boy Advance.

With Nintendo’s decision to close the 3DS and Wii U eShops, it leaves gamers who want to experience GBA games with no recourse. With a whopping 74 GBA titles on Wii U, it’s not a minuscule loss for fans of the console.

Adding these to Switch Online would serve multiple purposes. First, it would enhance the service’s appeal with fan-favorite titles like ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap’. And secondly, it would earn them a lot of community goodwill. Furthermore, it would tell fans that Nintendo is listening to what they want.

Zach observes that if the Japanese giant goes down this route, they may start with the Game Boy Color. However, he has no qualms as long as the GBA gets its time in the spotlight.

GBA and GBC have made their mark on history. They added to Nintendo’s console prowess and were many fans’ first introduction to gaming. By adding these to Switch Online the service can “become the Netflix for Nintendo nostalgia”.
