Big news, everybody! For the first time since July of last year, Nintendo has acknowledged that the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super NES exist. That’s right, we’re getting more retro games on the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, including not only titles from those frustratingly ignored consoles, but also the Game Boy. This month brings the 2D shooter Xevious for the NES, Side Pocket on the Super Nintendo and the Game Boy versions of both BurgerTime Deluxe and Kirby’s Dream Land 2. That’s exciting news, but are any of these games actually worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Super Play, Nintendo Power and more classic magazines to see what critics said about these games when they first came out. Well, all of them except for Xevious, which came out right before most magazine started scoring reviews. So, go, grab your favorite pool cue and a side of fries, because it’s time for an episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew that definitely sucks ... on purpose.
