Ice Hockey came out after Nintendo had given up on the black boxes with the genre logos, but still had that Sports Series tag right underneath its name. That alternating two-player mode basically killed this game, and no matter how much it captured the bone-breaking crunch of the original’s combat, there was no way of coming back from that.- Garrett Martin That’s right, this is a Double Dragon where you can’t fight side-by-side with your friend. There’s a long list of changes that hurt this game, but they all could’ve been forgiven if it had just gotten the one thing everybody loved about the arcade version right: two-player co-op. Like Donkey Kong, the NES version of Double Dragon is a disappointing port of a true arcade classic. For now, though, there are 20 games on the service, and if you find out what they are, and how the aged game sages of Paste would rank them (in a scientific and dispassionate manner, of course), keep reading.
Nintendo will be adding new games to the list every month, with Metroid, Ninja Gaiden and more already announced for later in 2018. So yes, you’ll finally be able to play Pro Wrestling online, or take turns on Super Mario with your brother again, even if he lives all the way on the other side of the country. Every game will include multiple save slots that let you and save up to four different games at any point, and online play where applicable. The initial line-up includes 20 titles from Nintendo’s 1980s heyday, including a handful of genuinely iconic classics.
It also comes with a selection of free NES games, and that’s what we’re going to talk about today. It’s the typical stuff you expect from a subscription online service, but at a cheaper price point than Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network. For that money you’ll be able to play such games as Splatoon 2, Arms and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe against other players online (which you used to be able to do for free), as well as make use of cloud saves. Nintendo Switch Online costs $20 a year, or if you want to pay more month-to-month you can also get one month and three month packages for $4 and $8, respectively. For the first time Nintendo is making players pay to play online, as the company launched its first premium online service earlier this week.
