If that weren’t exciting enough, Nintendo will also be selling an exclusive SNES-style Switch controller only to paying Switch Online members for $30. You want one, don’t you?

We originally thought and reported that you couldn't play these games offline but were rightly corrected by an eagle eyed reader. The current crop of NES games work as long as you've entered the NES app and an internet connection has verified you have an active Switch Online account (we checked). So hopefully the SNES version will act the same and you can load up 60 classic games for those long haul flights.
Add to that the fact games like Super Mario Kart are multiplayer compatible and you can get into some two player action without having to actually buy a game.
