This is quite surprising since it took Nintendo quite some time to launch the popular retro game, even though it already experienced different format changes.
On the other hand, the SNES system now offers two new iconic video games, specifically "Rival Turf" and "Congo's Caper." For those who are not familiar with these two titles, "Congo's Caper" is a 2D platform that is connected to the "Joe and Mac" game."
Meanwhile, "Rival Turf" is a 2D street-fighting game launched in 1992. It has the same graphics as the first versions of "Street Fighter" and other combat video titles.
Will 'Super Mario RPG' Arrive?
Although the three newly added retro video games are quite popular, many fans are still expecting the arrival of "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars."
For the past few years, it has been one of the most high-profile games that are still unavailable in Nintendo Switch Online's SNES app.
Some experts said that licensing issues and other problems might be preventing Nintendo from launching this title on the SNES platform.
If you are a Nintendo fan, the best thing you can do right now is to wait for the game developer's official announcements before making any conclusion.
