Pop quiz, hotshot: You’re Nintendo and you realize that you haven’t released a classic game on your Nintendo Switch Online service in more than a month, but you don’t want to take any attention away from your hot new Zelda game. What do you do? Apparently, the answer is to dump a bunch of Super Mario Advance games on the service, all of which are ports of games previously available on the Switch. On May 26th, we’ll be getting three more Super Mario Advance games, including ports of Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario World and Yoshi’s Island. That’s cool, I guess, but are any of these games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, Nintendo Power and more classic magazines to see what the critics said about these games when they first came out. So, go and grab a cape and a box full of vegetables, because this is another super-sized episode of the Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
