NES - July 2024 Game Update - Nintendo Switch Online 

Adding in Donkey Kong Jr. Math gotta be one of the funniest things ever

Finally I can play Donkey Kong Jr. Math and pretend I’m not crying

Fun fact: OG NES Golf was actually playable on the switch before this update. It was hidden in the system and you could access it by holding the joy-cons and performing the gesture Satoru Iwata used to make in directs. NES Golf was one of his favorite games, and Nintendo added it in as an easter-egg to honor his life. Nintendo unfortunately patched this secret out. This was because in Japan, it was tradition to place a recently deceased’s person’s favorite things in a special box that is not allowed to open. The hidden game was essentially a digital version of this ritual, and it’s clear that Nintendo wanted Iwata’s life to be honored in a special way by giving the switch a secret game that only they knew about.

DK Jr. Math legitimately has one of the best vs modes on the NES

It would be funny if we got Mario is missing and Mario’s Time Machine

Golf, Iwata’s first Nintendo game he created.

Honey wake up, Nintendo acknowledged Mach Rider

I like Mach Rider, and Golf was one of Satoru Iwata's works, if I recall correctly.

I am genuinely so happy to see solar jetman was released. I used to play it lots on my NES but i foolishly sold it. I dont know why i did that, I like the game so much.

Please consider adding Ninja Gaiden 2 and 3 to the NES library.

Finally I’ve been waiting 6 years to play Urban Champion

7 NES GAMES, YEESH Also why did Urban Campion and Mach Rider take so long to be on the service?

Dude, Solar Jetman? I LOVED THAT GAME! Oh neat, they finally put Golf back on the Switch.

Damn. Golf AND Donkey Kong Jr Math. Nintendo you spoil us too much

Just so everyone understands the significance of this, those first two games were created by Rare.

MACH RIDER and URBAN CHAMPION are childhood favorites of mine.

Now we need kung fu on August

Urban champion is such a 80’s gem. Please Nintendo release zapper games on the Switch

Cobra Triangle is the best of these new additions. Don’t skip on it.

Bart: "I want Bonestorm!!" Marge: "We have Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge at home." Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge at home.

Oh man! I have so many memories as just a little kid in the 90s playing Golf with my grandfather for hours and hours, who since has passed away. The memories and nostalgia are real with that one.

MACH RIDER!!! I am so happy! I can't wait to play. Amazing music and a really great concept of a game. I always enjoyed making custom tracks, but I wasn't good at the game so I would use the small "(" shaped pieces to make a near straight map. Also played Golf with my sister many hours as a small child, despite us not really knowing how it worked. Thank you Nintendo! Can't wait to play these.

Now, we await the Wizards & Warriors trilogy. Yes, trilogy, including Ironsword and the third one. Also, somebody must've had a laugh adding Atlantis no Nazo to the service. Just wait 'til you see the 42th Zone. (Yes, that's how they spell it.)

It's kind of amazing there were still any black box NES games that weren't already on the service. (Outside of Popeye and the NES Zapper games which just won't work on modern devices). I appreciate that you're doing a big wave of these rather than dribbling them out.

Still waiting patiently for Faxanadu

I unironically love Urban Champion (seriously, I've always had a ton of fun with it) and I've never played Mach Rider, so this is a great update.

oh man loved playing Solar Jetman

Yaya, I can finally learn math after many years, thanks nintendo for adding Donkey Kong Jr. Math

Fun Fact: The Donkey Kong Country 3 for GBA had a minigame based on Cobra Triangle.

You’re telling me Golf wasn’t already on there?

DK Jr Math followed by two folks pretending to not be fighting outside the “Snack” Bar, though.

Those Rare Ltd games just keeps coming and coming and i like it! Hopefully we can get Banjo-Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Killer Instinct Gold and Conker soon too.

Why did it take you so long to put Golf on NSO? I remember when it came free with the Switch

I swear this update is basically Nintendo thinking "OH GOD! We need to add some more NES games to promote Nintendo World Championships! Uh... THROW IN THE FUNNI MONKEY MATH GAME!"

Give us first gen Pokémon cowards!

Been wanting Cobra Triangle on here for so long, one of the quintessential NES games, IMO. Solar Jetman is quite fun, as well.

Everybody gangsta until OG Pokémon red and blue and yellow gets added to Gameboy Switch online

Whoever was playing Golf was KILLING IT

The face that we're getting Atlantis no Nazo, one of the formative early Nintendo games in 2024 is absolutely wild. Maybe we can get Challenger next?

2:35 Imagine the idea of being so CHAD that you rather prefer to solve your problems by yourself with your fists instead of calling the police. Only in 80's man, only in the 80's

Ah yes DK Jr Math, the game everyone wanted

Cobra Triangle was the first NES game I owned as a kid.

Yo, Solar Jetman!! That was my jam as a kid! Still got the NES and the cart! Big win, everyone play it!

To this day I always wonder why no one has made a modern day Solar Jetman, its gameplay is timeless and still fun to play.

Donkey Kong Jr. Math is more of a mini-game for a Donkey Kong game.

Cobra Triangle is awesome! I remember it being super hard when I was a kid

OMG! Solar Jetman! Played that game back in the day.

Donkey kong Jr math is my favorite game of all time. I'm so happy that Nintendo finally brought it to NSO. One of the most neglected franchises of all time.

Donkey Kong JR Math and Urban Champion in the same update has GOT to be one of the Funniest things I’ve ever seen

Golf and Urban Champion, I loved those games back in the day

I can't be the only one experiencing a Mandela effect from golf just now being added Also funni monke math game lol

These are games that used to be in those 100 in 1 Cartridges

I will never tire of the NES 👍🏻

While watching this at the Donkey Kong Jr Math part I just realized this is half of how I do my Sacred Geometry Calculations except without the Ape climbing around the numbers.🤣

How did it take us 5 years to get Donkey Kong Jr. Math on Switch Online? Should've been there day 1

Another fun fact, the golf courses in this game were later remade for Wii sports, albeit flipped I believe

It has been a very long time since we got a game catalog that only shows NES games.

Urban Champion! This game since when I was a kid!

Now I can play Golf on the current Switch firmware, and just in time for July 11!

After years of having NES Golf programmed in the Switch's firmware, it's finally playable to the masses.

Oh, cool. They made a game based on that Mach Rider song from Smash Bros.

In place of Solar Jetman, Cobra Triangle and Mystery Of Atlantis, Japan gets Shin Onigashima, Gomoku Narabe Renju and Mahjong. I want Shin Onigashima too... 🥺💗

Fans: *NINTENDO, GIVE US MOTHER 3, BANJO-TOOIE, SMASH 64, DK 64, DIDDY KONG RACING AND THE FIRST GEN PÓKEMON GAMES, P L E A S E!* Nintendo: what, did you guys want Donkey Kong Jr. Math?, okay

Aside from Mach Rider and Golf, why were any of these chosen over so many better possible choices?

Finally, Urban Champion is on NSO! Unlike most people, I like Urban Champion.

Dang a lot more games than usual this time

Urban champions taught me to stay cool when the police arrives

Cobra Triangle! Awesome game, this gameplay didn't do it justice at all :(.

Great, the most hardest game in DK series history. Mathematics!

I know someone's been waiting to get a Switch just for NES Golf.

The fact we got DK Jr. Math before DK64 is actually pretty humorous, not gonna lie.

We still don't have such classics as Monster in My Pocket, Tetris, Yoshi's Cookie, Ninja Gaiden 2 or 3, Startropics 2 or any of the NES Mega Man games, but thank GOD we finally have Donkey Kong Jr Math! Maybe if we're really, REALLY good, they'll give us Mario Is Missing for Christmas this year!

Do my eyes deceive me is this an actual good drop?!

*I need D.K. Jr. Math in my life.*

It's awesome that we are getting more games from Rare. I hope Diddy Kong Racing, and Banjo-Tooie will make their way on the NSO Service soon.

Mach Rider and Urban Champion... My body is ready jajajaja.

Urban champion!! Nostalgia coming at lightning speed 😭😭🚨🚨

Donkey Kong Jr. Math for NES is an educational video game.

Great NES drop. Now just add the zapper games and the collection will feel complete to me first party wise.

DK jr. Math was an odd game but a fun game to play with a friend. I discovered this game from Animal Crossing on GameCube.

I swear we had golf already

finally Mach Rider, Golf, and Urban Champion.

Dang, so many NES classics here! Mach Rider, Urban Champion, Donkey Kong Jr. Math- wait, DONKEY KONG JR. MATH?! Yeah, wasn't expecting that game to ever be officially acknowledged again, let alone given a rerelease. 0.0

Nothing super exciting to play, but still classic games that should be preserved and available to try 👍 And I can finally get my revenge on Cobra Triangle, could never beat that as a kid.

Fun fact, you might remember Cobra Triangle reskinned in Donkey Kong Country 3 GBA.

WE FINALLY GOT MACH RIDER THANK YOU NINTENDO 😭😭😭😭

Urban Champion was inevitable knowing Nintendo. The real surprising thing is the fact it took them this long!

2:11 AVGN: It’s educational!?! I don’t want to be educated! I want to rot my brain!

I swear, I thought Urban Champion was on NSO already.

Getting ready for the World Championships game, I see.

So NES Golf is finally back on the Switch! Good to see you again, Iwata old friend.

Where are the old days of Nintendo 😢

They forgot to add one more game of NES is Mighty Final Fight too.

If we’re continuing with RARE games, then it’s only a matter of time before NES Battletoads drops… especially since we got Battlemaniacs on the SNES app…

Just bought a switch a couple weeks ago it's literally my first Nintendo console that I've ever owned.

Cobra Trangle is an amazing game. Still have the original cartridge

URBAN CHAMPION FOR EVO 2024 LETS GOOOOOO

they waited this long to put Donkey Kong Jr Math and Urban Champion on the service, never change Nintendo

FINALLY! MACH RIDER ADDED TO NSO!!!

Maniac Mansion,Battle of Olympus, The original Dragon Warrior(NES) Road Rash 2 or 3 and X-Men the arcade game (Genesis) would be a lot of fun for me. I would love to see at least a few of these end up in the library but even one would be very cool.
