Nintendo Switch Online may not be the most robust online service on consoles, but it does come with a library of NES and SNES games you can play at no additional charge.

There are plenty of overlooked gems available to subscribers, along with some undisputed classics.

The first entry in this space combat series features challenging dogfights and multiple routes through each level to make it even more replayable.

This tough platforming adventure perfects the gameplay of the original while sanding down some of its rough edges.

Super Mario reached its 2D pinnacle with Super Mario World, packing tons of secrets for dedicated players to find and sheer platforming joy even on a more casual playthrough.

The game builds on the original Metroid to deliver one of the most memorable worlds on the SNES and lay the foundations for the metroidvania genre that’s still popular to this day.

The game pairs the thrill of exploration with challenging puzzles and great world design to make a classic that still holds its own against sequels like Breath of the Wild.
