I feel like that also may have had to do with the general direction of how Nintendo handled the Wii U Virtual Console as a whole. Everything was weirdly dark and had a filter. I'm hoping for GBA, that is all addressed when it happens.

Datamined Upcoming Nintendo Switch Online SNES games

My thoughts exactly, though I imagine a lot of GameCube and Wii games will see simple emulated releases on Switch with a bumped up resolution. DS and 3DS are certainly possible too, Nintendo could sell a JoyCon cradle that holds the system on its side like that one third party device but have it specifically aimed at DS and 3DS.
Anyways, they can easily charge $20~ for GC, Wii and 3DS games and maybe like 10-15 for DS.
Happy to hear SNES is being added. I wasn't expecting the wait to be that long, but if it's as early as before summer then it's really quick.
Capcom has a collection of MMX games to sell.
With that said, I'm a bit sad that there's no EarthBound or Super Mario RPG. But I'm happy about what's actually coming.
when it comes to nintendo pricing? yes, it's only healthy
Why would you think that? They haven't even mentioned the N64.....
Well, at least it probably has a better chance to make it to the service eventually than any other SE game....
Yeah I'd be more into this if they had some proper options like the NES and SNES classic.
Instead it forces you to use a shorty 2005 polka dot gradient border and permanently has the suspend and start/select prompt on the screen.

Did I miss something? Did the list have dates or something associated with them? Or is the OP just speculating about these being all the online SNES games for 2019?
Why would they bump the price less than a year after they started charging?
It's funny, because I actually prefer this type of rollout compared to re-buying a 2D Mario game over and over across different platforms, which apparently people still want lol.
It's just taking a while. Hence why I say...I'll believe it when I see it!
DS game would definitely be $10 USD (that's how they priced them on the Wii U Virtual Console), and likewise Wii games would be $20 USD. I could see 3DS and GameCube being around $16, a bit more than the DS games but a bit less than the Wii games.
They could charge $15 bucks for DS games and justify the price by upping the resolution.
You can't hack the Super FX games to run smoothly (hell, you can't use Haxchi2 at all) on the NSO, nor does this list have any Earthbounds or Castlevanias or Final Fantasies (yet), so the SNES Classic is still worth buying even after this. Not saying playing Contra 3 online co-op will be a waste of time, though.
And yay for Goemon. Hey, fan translators - hack the Goemon sequels already, you cowards.

Hell ye Goemon. Hope we get Goemon 64 when N64 games come. Even though it was never on Virtual Console.
We better get Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. It was Ocarina of Time before OoT even existed, and it does a lot of things better.
It really doesn't get the love it deserves. Look at how cute they are!
Nintendo better not charge more
I have a bad feeling they will have multiple subscription models.
Current price for online + NES games
A bit more for additional SNES

There's nothing that suggested that's a 2019 list, it's just localization strings in the app. Meaning there might be more later or perhaps this will never come to fruition (doubtful). Can't tell for sure but all it indicates is that they're at least working on SNES games.
Very little of that list is surprising either. Nearly all are currently available on Wii U's VC. Interesting ones include:

- Yoshi's Island - SNES version never released on VC (GBA version did). It did release on the SNES Classic though. Super FX game.
- Stunt Race FX - Never re-released. Super FX game.
- Starfox - Re-released only on SNES Classic. Super FX game.
- Starfox 2 - Released only on SNES Classic. Super FX game.
- Super Mario All-Stars - Re-released only as a collector's edition disc on Wii.
You know what, somehow I could totally see them doing that. It would be even more scummy considering the Wii U DS emulator did have the ability to, not just upscale the games, but increase the native resolution and upscale the pixel art
they just didn't let people use it without homebrewing their systems. I'm sure they would love to charge people for the ability to turn that feature on.
Dude, could you imagine the internet's reaction? I bet Nintendo could.
