I'll be making a wee group DM or something about that actually soon as renewal time is pending so I'll be sending Wario round to collect his coins - £4 each, I believe. From the forum, that's... Me Mas Balla Jas Andy Rum £4 is definitely worth it for NES and SNES online, I'd say. Cracking starting line-up, there! Did they say if they'd still be adding to NES Online or is it just SNES getting supported from here on out? |

| Since it's gone live I had a quick go on Super Metroid, which I've enjoyed in the past, and had my first try (I think) on Star Fox. Really cool-looking game. I guess it's choppy and - at least in the first couple of levels - doesn't feel too involved, but the fact that anything like this was even on the SNES is cool. The aesthetic is still really nice. It's a shame they haven't used that corneria theme again for later Star Fox games.
Also using this as a good chance to play through Yoshi's Island and Super Mario Kart, the latter which I never got around to completing on Wii VC. |

| Dead excited to play Star Fox- the only one in the series I haven't played is the original (and 2, I guess). And I haven't played any SF since coming to Japan, despite really wanting to every time I visit Fushimi Inari. |

| I'm pretty sure the Corneria main theme is the best thing that came out of the SNES. |

| Enjoying the SNES Online app very much - I've already beat Joe & Mac 2 and Super Puyo Puyo 2, and I'm working through Stunt Race FX, Super EDF and F-ZERO. Good stuff...but with the news that Nintendo won't be releasing these games monthly anymore, it's hard for me to think of too many places for the SNES Online service to go, other than to go quiet.
Thinking about what came out on the Virtual Consoles, you'd think that there won't be any of the Contra, Castlevania, Gradius, Mana, Street Fighter or Mega Man games out for this - the publishers have already found ways to monetise these old games in 2019, through collections that are already on the eShop. You'd wonder if Nintendo would bother with the licensing of some of the SNES's most popular third-party stuff too. Fair enough, Brawl Brothers likely cost them about 70, maybe 80 pence, but Turtles in Time, Super Star Wars and Disney's Magic Quest wouldn't be at all cheap.
There's some good stuff that'll likely appear in the coming months, but perhaps not much of it. I'm struggling to think of what they'll do after the typical first-party stuff comes around. Any ideas? |

| I'm surprised the Star Wars games aren't on the eShop already as they've been on PSN for a few years now, that I don't get why Disney haven't brought them over. |

| If anybody's ever wanting a few games of any of the NES and SNES games online, give us a shout - I'd love to play the likes of Super Mario Kart, Super Tennis and Joe & Mac 2 with youse. ![Thumbs Up!](/users/4111/31/13/97/smiles/2924871582.gif) |

| I'd love if they put translated versions of the NES/SNES Fire Emblems up but they probably wouldn't bother. The SNES lineup is already pretty strong so there's not much more I'd want from it. Could see Star Fox 2 coming out for it at some point.
As for the Star Wars games they're probably just waiting for a good time to release them. Could see a collection like the Aladdin/Lion King one getting released near the time of the new Star Wars film. |

It's a tricky one because I don't know how stingy the likes of Capcom, Konami, Square and company are going to be with their back catalogue. I'd love to get stuck into Super Castlevania IV or FFVI, but will they turn up on the service? |

| This is... just... I haven't been on my Switch in about 3 weeks, except to finish reading the Super Mario Maker dojo tutorials - all I can think about is playing SNES games. I do share Cappa's worry about them changing the distribution pattern, but you could argue that nearly all of these games stand the test of time and are still playable today. Treat the "Online" part of the Nintendo Online subscription as the bonus feature. |

| I played a bit of Starfox for the first time - I'm assuming the game always chugged a wee bit and it's not just a sloppy emulation job from Nintendo? |

| Didn't feel far off it at points! It's still playable, but I might avoid throwing out bombs in that asteroid field level in case the game goes in a huff with me. |

| I played a wee bit of Yoshi's Island earlier and finished the first world, you wouldn't think it was a game from 1995 at all as the controls feel superb and wouldn't be out of place in a modern platformer.
Oh also actually not sure if I ever beat this game before or not so I'm excited to see what's next. |

| The original Starfox is something I would genuinely like a remastered version - I'm down for keeping the pointy visuals, but running on today's computing, so the frame rate is bearable. |

| Uh-oh, me again I've finally started playing a SNES game! It's Breath of Fire. I'm doing a 16-bit JRPG! I've always liked the idea of these, except the combat. So... this might be a problem. But I'm determined to stick with it, with a bunch of big-haired wankers trying to save the world with their WdSwords and CstPlt and Herb.
Actually: has anyone played the original BoF? Can you heal in the middle of a fight? I couldn't find that option, and associated that with its archaic nature; but I don't think that can be right, otherwise I won't be able to beat the first boss until I've ground for about 30 hours.
I am essentially an old man trying a new thing now. |

| This is a guess but I'm thinking you have to give party members healing items in a equipment menu then in battle under the item section of that member will be all the items they have equipped, then select healing item that turn and bingo healed up. |

| Odd - I've been playing the first Dragon Quest and whilst it's archaic (to be expected of the grandaddy of JRPGs), the inventory system works as you'd expect an inventory system to work. I buy a healing herb, it's there under the item menu in battle. |

Yep, it's real annoying but could be something BoF is doing as well. |
