The latest batch of Nintendo Switch Online games has been revealed, with three new SNES games and one from the NES coming to the system later this month. Unfortunately, many fans are not happy with February’s obscure picks, particularly since Earthbound remains missing from the service. The SNES RPG is trending on Twitter, as fans continue to petition Nintendo for it to be added. It’s a bit surprising the game that introduced Ness has not yet been made available on the system, despite the demand. Considering how much the character has been popularized by the Super Smash Bros. series, Earthbound would seem like a no-brainer. Alas, fans of the SNES masterpiece will be kept waiting once again.

Donkey Kong Country fans have definitely been blessed.
I swear if Nintendo can add all three Donkey Kong Country games then they can add Earthbound.

Now that’s optimism!
I hope the reason for delaying #EarthBound on the switch is that there working on remake ๐ค or a bundle 3 pack . pic.twitter.com/P5l9juPQl0

Its addition is long overdue.
Earthbound is trending and guys Iโm very happy. Iโve have the privilege to play Earthbound start to finish and let me tell ya, itโs phenomenal. Nintendo must bring it to online. I will not stand for it not being there because man, people need to play it.
