I sure hope you weren’t expecting new games on the Nintendo Switch Online service, because we didn’t get any this week. The good news is that we still have a bunch of old school games to cover in the Review Crew, including the three games we’re going to talk about today – The Legend of Zelda, Dr. Mario and Gradius. Sure, all three of these games have been on Nintendo’s subscription service for years now, but I still need to ask: Are any of these games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, ACE, Nintendo Power and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games were first released. So, get ready to take on an entire alien army all by yourself, because this is another pill-poppin’ episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
