Donkey Kong and Marios picross has been added to switch online. Donkey Kong is a really good game. Marios picross looks fun too.They are both gameboy games. So it's available with even the 20 dollar online package.

I've been waiting for a while for them to add Donkey Kong '94, which was one of the major first party omissions from NSO.

That said, they need to add Super GameBoy support. Come on, Nintendo.

Donkey Kong 94 is a big blind spot for me as a Nintendo fan, heard nothing but good things over the years and never played it once. Gonna change that soon!

opinions about Marios picross???

Its a great picross game… but we’ve had a lot of those on DS, 3DS, and Switch

 

[Dacvak]

Two absolute bangers, especially DK ‘94.

If you’ve never played DK ‘94, do yourself a favor and go into it blind. It’s one of the greatest Game Boy games ever.

opinions about Marios picross???

It’s great.
Not as great as Mario’s Super Picross on the Super Famicom (also available on NSO), which is like, secretly the best game you could play in your life. It’s pure digital crack. I spent around 80 hours on that game, and I have to actively avoid launching it now, or another early afternoon would turn into a night in the blink of an eye.
But the GB game is your perfect introduction to picross.

The Picross games are great little puzzlers

Lucky you, in the Argentina store there is not a single picross/nonogram game. Back in the day I had the DS one and it's one of the games which fully scratched my screen but felt as an accomplishment (I scratched it in lots of small squares because of Picross, then scratched it all around while playing the Ouendan games, and then back to scratching in square patterns with Puzzle Quest, another game I wish I could play on Switch but it's not available in our local store).

Sorry to hear that, yea it’s weird because these games are published by Nintendo

I still play DK '94 on my backlight-modded Game Boy all the time. It was the hidden start of the Mario vs Donkey Kong puzzle-oriented series, but much more fun than those IMO. Puzzles, but better platforming.

Mario's moveset alone is amazing. It was the debut of his "change directions to backflip" jump.

Sweet, I've been waiting for Donkey Kong! Best MAR10 day ever! As an added bonus, Nintendo has a 14-day free trial of Switch Online available to redeem by March 17.

Best deal in gaming

 

[Dr.brain64]

mario picross!

 

[Beechos]

It's a crime nintendo doesn't have some sort of service avail to play all their legacy titles all st once. It's not like these old ass games need some optimization/port to run on the switch.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Donkey Kong 94 is the best game Nintendo ever made.

[swarley64]

Donkey Kong is a GOAT tier Game Boy title, don’t sleep on this one

 

[Kacho]

Finally DK 94. Lets fucking gooo

opinions about Marios picross???

it's awesome, very addictive. You played picross before? I was surprised to see it's been released in 1995! which is very late for a GB title!

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Played all the Easy stages today in Mario's Picross. So good...
