FINALLY- SNES games on Nintendo Switch Online!

From the Nintendo Direct today- SNES game list!

Well good, then those specs about a SNES controller for Switch weren't fakes.

 

Those I could see actual value in buying given the added 4 buttons and comfort they have too.  Great for any game that analog isn't required where people grip the d-pad isn't comfortable on the stock setup.

 

Since they love to soup up stuff, love to see them overdrive the frame rate on Stunt Race FX like those hacks you find do as the game is so smooth and fun when it runs at a fast framerate.

The controllers are what im most interested in. If they can pull off 2 player over internet DKC though, that would be amazing

i was kind of 'eeeeh' on the NES ones, but I agree with you guys- the SNES ones look really cool.    I'd pick at least one up if they are decent.

Some good stuff there...but it sure isn't the Snes Classic Mini list either.  But who knows what'll come down the pike.

I still don't have Nintendo Online since I don't play online & never cared about NES.  But maybe with SNES....

I was on vacation yesterday so spent a good part of the day playing through some of the games.  Although I feel like a couple of the game choices were a little strange, it's a really good set that plays really well.  If anything, I don't play these games as well as I did as a teenager when they came out.

 

For what it's worth, you can now hide the control overlay and sort the games on the NES games just like the SNES ones; this was a welcome change.  I'd still like the ability to 'hide' the SP versions of the NES games and remove the bars/etc on the screen, but these are pretty minor picky things on my part.

I found I was getting killed missing jumps on enemy heads and falling off the end of platforms in Super Mario World.  I am thinking it is because of input lag?  Not really familiar with how to recognize it though.  Playing on a cheapo Haier 50" through HDMI.

Lag can definitely effect you, try it in handheld and see how that is.

Usually LCD TVs allow you to choose between several presets of parameters for visual filters, and the 'video games' one typically deactivates most of them to have minimal input lag. That being said, not all TVs are equal in terms of input lag.

I finally got around to trying out the SNES games and yeah I had lag too. Once I used game mode on my tv it was fine.

 

I also tried out Stunt Race and it felt like the same speed. Which im ok with. I thought the game was amazing in the 90s and I still enjoy it today.

i noticed this too but i haven't had a chance to dink with my tv- i probably will this afternoon.

 

edit to add: i adjusted my TV as well, and it TOTALLY made a difference.  I cruised through Lemmy's castle- I was missing jumps ALL THE TIME until I changed the settings on my tv.

 

I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it myself.

I have been enjoying the hell out of the SNES titles since this dropped last week. There are a few on here I've never given much attention to that I'm really enjoying, like Breath of Fire, Joe & Mac 2, and Demon's Crest. I've been playing with my Hori D-Pad Joycon in portable mode, and Super Mario World plays as well as it did on my SNES. Still haven't tried it docked with my SN30 Pro on my old Panasonic plasma in the game room, which I'll do soon (game room is being gutted and re-organized right now).

Well that's what the Rewind function is for! Makes input lag inconsequential and never miss a single jump again.

fwiw if you weren't aware the SD2SNES has a setting for "Fast" SuperFX support which is fun to play with, getting Star Fox and StuntraceFX  sped up a little which makes them more fun I think.

Cool. Its pretty amazing how we can go from impossible on the current hardware to actually one upping and "overclocking" the processor.

Doom definitely felt faster but while I was testing it the game locked up and now no FX games work! Ill have to look into it later. I also tried out Megaman X2 with CX4 on fast speed and what a difference. No slowdown at all on the Wire Sponge stage with the weather effects.
