Another week and another handful of titles are now announced to be arriving on the Nintendo Switch via emulation on the Nintendo Switch Online service. An interesting statement coming forth as many fans are frustrated regarding the hyped and anticipated Super Mario 3D All-Stars being leaked to simply be ROMs by and large, with many lobbing accusations of laziness and low-effort pushing of old titles to fans. Others are simply excited to be able to play a stable version of classic 3D Super Mario titles without the necessary hassle of setting up an emulator on your PC; your mileage may vary between the two. https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1306035454593118210 Japan is going to be receiving Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem as well; not available to the western audience; it never received a translation patch which effectively localizes its distribution without Nintendo getting much of a say in it. Yet while this would otherwise be punctuated with a feeling of relative contentment from fans, the recent leaks of the ROMs for 3d All-Stars has fans wanting a bit more; namely, large-scale emulation of titles that were readily offered in the past, plugged into the emulators that the Nintendo Switch is apparently comfortably running with no drastic wayward issues. Granted, we are receiving the second Donkey Kong Country title that showcased Diddy Kong, and Picross is a classic puzzle game that should keep fans entertained by value alone, if not by including Mario's lovable face. Also included is likely one of the most unfortunate named titles in recent memory: S.C.A.T., which is a pseudonym for defecate, is arriving as well for the NES in a title that deals far more with action-adventure than bathroom trips and bowel incontinence. Others reacted to the news by still searching for an emulated version of Earthbound, while many predict that third-party sideloading will achieve bringing the title to easy access before Nintendo Entertainment manages to; as is keeping of their traditions. There is still no news regarding GameCube and Wii emulation, another staple of news that Super Mario 3D All-Stars has brought about to the doorstep of Nintendo, and it's likely months before we hear anything further on that front as Nintendo has a massive pile of titles to drip-feed towards the ever-hungering fans. The four titles will be available to play if you have an active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online on September 23, in one week from the announcement; whether or not anyone will notice as they're exploring the classic Mario titles has yet to be seen.
