R.C. Pro-Am was a beloved NES smash, but it's never been rereleased for any Nintendo hardware--until now. Find out why this matters.
Five games from the ‘80s and ‘90s were added to Nintendo Switch Online yesterday. It’s great news for all the old Nintendo heads out there, especially ones partial to Rare, the British studio that made some of the most popular games on Nintendo consoles during a relationship that spanned 17 years .
So here we have one of the most successful games from Nintendo’s golden era, from the system that basically saved the idea of home consoles in America, from the peak of Nintendo’s dominance of the industry, finally landing on the Switch. And it’s a game that was actually published by Nintendo, which, to players in the ‘80s, meant it was just as much of a “Nintendo game” as.
That’s why I wasn’t too surprised that there wasn’t more of a reaction to yesterday’s Switch Online news. If you weren’t there, you don’t know. I’m not sure exactly when we hit the point where most members of the games press are too young to have played the NES in its day, but it’s been clear for years, and coverage of yesterday’s update was a reminder. Most articles led with the arrival ofgetting released on Nintendo hardware for the first time in 36 years is the true headline here.
