After two straight weeks of exciting releases, Nintendo decided to take this week off when it comes to porting classic games to their online service. That sucks, but don’t worry, we still have plenty of 8- and 16-bit games in desperate need of the Review Crew treatment. I’m talking about genuine classics like Super Mario Kart, Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. Sure, these games came out years ago on the Nintendo Switch Online service, 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, GamePro, Die Hard Game Fan and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. So grab a turtle shell and get ready to be upgraded to 16-bits, because this is another Super Mario centric episode of the Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
