As you know, subscribers to the service can enjoy some games from the NES and SNES catalogue in the basic subscription of Switch Online while, by paying a little more, you can also access some Mega Drive and Nintendo 64 games. Will we have news about new additions today?

The service may add new NES and SNES games
- The hint comes from NinStatusBot where we can see an update of the online service ??
- The update is scheduled for right after the Nintendo Direct strong> ?
- Every time the service is updated, new games tend to arrive ??
- The last time it was updated, Banjo-Kazooie arrived from Nintendo 64 ?
- When the Mega Drive app was updated, ToeJam & Earl, Altered Beast, Dynamite Headdy, Sword of Vermillion and Thunder Force II arrived ?
- The update it only talks about the NES and SNES apps ?
- Therefore, only 8 and 16 bit games would arrive from Nintendo to the catalog ?
Obviously this is just a hint of what could happen in today’s Nintendo Direct so nothing can be guaranteed.
