Zero. That’s how many classic games were released this week on the Nintendo Switch Online service. Not a single one. Thankfully, we still have a few dozen old school games to get to in this Review Crew series, so today we’re going to cover three classic games we previously missed. This week we’re looking at three Super NES launch-day classics, including F-Zero, Super Mario World and Pilotwings. Those are definitely well-known games, but are any of them worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Super Play, Computer + Video Games and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. I sure hope you’re not afraid of heights, because this is another high-flying episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
