Nintendo Switch Online offers users access to various features, including online play and a selection of games from the NES and SNES libraries. While these libraries contain many classic titles like Super Mario Bros. and Kirby Super Star, fans have expressed disappointment over the absence of beloved games.
Requests for additions to the SNES library, such as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Earthbound, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, have been common. However, when Nintendo announces new additions to the libraries, fans often find the chosen games to be obscure and unfamiliar, leading to frustration and annoyance.
For instance, a recent announcement video revealed additions like Claymates, Jelly Boy, and Bombuzal, which received a significant number of dislikes compared to likes. Users have taken to social media platforms like Twitter to express their discontent, drawing parallels to the experience of renting games from Blockbuster.
Nintendo Switch Online really is bringing back the experience of having to play whatever is still available to rent at Blockbuster. https://t.co/UfMFrQ753E

Furthermore, users in Japan accessing the Super Famicom library have received sought-after titles like Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei, adding to the frustration of Western users. Nintendo conducted a survey to gauge user feedback, indicating their discontent. Whether Nintendo will address these concerns remains uncertain.
