With the Switch 2 on the way, Nintendo fans are looking to the future, but the Switch is still making room for Nintendo’s past. Nintendo Switch Online just added two Game Boy classics, one of which is a surprise sequel in the guise of an arcade port that classic platformer players need to check out.
Nintendo Switch Online’s March update adds Mario’s Picross and Donkey Kong for the Game Boy. The first of those is exactly what it sounds like. It’s Picross. With Mario. The Nintendo Switch already has plenty of good Picross games, many of which are honestly doing more interesting things with the format with Mario’s Picross. The new addition is charming nonetheless, filled with puzzles centered on recreating iconic images from the Mario series, from super stars to, um, the letter L. You know, for Luigi. Mario’s Picross is notable for being the first of Nintendo’s Picross games, and as a free addition to your Switch Online subscription, it’s hard to argue with.
