The addition of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) to the Nintendo Switch Online service has proven to be extremely beneficial. Not only does it boast one of the largest game libraries among any NSO application, but it also offers some of the finest games accessible for players with a basic subscription. These include classics like Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Kirby’s Dream Land 3, Star Fox, Super Metroid, and more than 100 other titles. It seems that experiencing these games on Nintendo Switch has become significantly enhanced.
In the past, various game controllers were used for different games, with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller being quite distinct from the NES controller. Similarly, the GameCube controller, SNES controller, and Game Boy controls all showed some differences as well. Back then, these variations could be a bit of a hassle when playing SNES games. However, this is no longer an issue as the latest update has addressed that.
With the recent update on Nintendo Switch Online, users now have the flexibility to customize button layouts when playing Super NES games. This means if you find it challenging to navigate some games due to control issues, you can adjust the settings to suit your personal controller preferences or choose buttons that feel most convenient for you.
This becomes particularly significant if you’re a multi-platform gamer, using Xbox or PlayStation consoles, as their controller designs vary. Switching between them might prove difficult and disorienting. Using a cross-platform save feature like the one in Ghost of Tsushima and A Link to the Past can simplify this issue when playing both games simultaneously.
In this game I’m about to dive into, each control is tailored specifically for the game itself. So, there’s no guesswork involved – the game clearly indicates what each button does. For instance, in ‘Donkey Kong Country’, you can easily customize the buttons for Diddy and Dixie Kong without any mix-ups or confusion. And if things don’t go as planned, you can always revert back to the default controls with a simple reset.
Alongside two other significant adjustments, the SNES Nintendo Switch Online app has also undergone a minor facelift to resemble its N64 and GameCube counterparts more closely. The CRT filter, essentially a shader, has been fine-tuned for a smoother appearance. Although the games won’t suddenly look like they were created in the 21st century, this change represents an enhancement to the user experience by offering a slight improvement in visual quality.
Ultimately, there’s an exciting new reason to dive back into the SNES app! Nintendo has just included the beloved art game, Mario Paint, in their collection. This means you can now relive this cherished underrated gem and customize the controls according to your preference.
The ability to reassign console buttons is a valuable feature for many Nintendo Switch Online applications, not just those specifically designed for SNES controllers. Although the SNES controller isn’t as distinct from other models as the N64 one, having the option to personalize it still proves incredibly useful. Just like with all other remapping options, the adjustments are made on a per-game basis, providing numerous ways to experience Switch Online games. This update is applicable for both the original Nintendo Switch and any potential future versions of the system.
