If you are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online and are nostalgic for the Game Boy and its legacy, we have three good news for you: the next batch of classics that arrives at the subscription service is a guarantee of fun with the additional attraction of Super Mario and his friends . Titles so fun that, although they could be labeled retro, they never go out of style.
First things first: starting March 12, pocket versions of Dr. Mario, Mario Tennis y Mario Golf from the Nintendo Switch Online portable catalog. And although their names are quite descriptive, the question asks itself: what is each one about?
The adition of Dr. Mario for Game Boy it is quite a whim, given that it was already possible to play the NES version on Nintendo Switch Online. In fact, and as a curious note, originally the Famicom and Game Boy cartridges were released simultaneously in Japan, although the portable version was played first in Europe.
The premise of Dr. Mario for Game Boy, on the other hand, it’s simple: clear your virus levels with capsules. Something that gains certain nuances with respect to the NES version given that Nintendo’s revolutionary laptop lacked colors when it came to posing its logic puzzles. So that barrier was overcome with the use of tiny pixels full of character.
Talking about Mario Tennis (released in 1999) and Mario Golf (which arrived in the West in 2001) we have two games designed specifically for the Game Boy Color in a really curious and experimental stage for Nintendo: in addition to proposing to play both sports with Mario, his friends and original characters, it was possible to benefit from the progress or unlock content by also having your N64 counterpoints. Can it be done with Nintendo Switch Online?
A triple announcement on the occasion of Mario’s Day filled with blessed nostalgia. Three great games that, by the way, were recently updated for mobile phones or the Switch itself. Although, we are not going to deny it, the pixelated versions still retain their original charm. In any case, three additional gifts for subscribers of a Nintendo Switch Online that, classic by classic, becomes increasingly more amortizable.
