NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 3: The new Nintendo Switch game console is displayed at a pop-up Nintendo venue in Madison Square Park, March 3, 2017 in New York City. The Nintendo Switch console goes on sale today and retails for 300 dollars.

"Three classic #SuperNES and #NES titles are now live for #NintendoSwitchOnline members!" announced the game company via its Nintendo of America Twitter account.

Many Nintendo fans shared their excitement since the three newly added retro titles are popular in their days. But, there are some who questioned why Nintendo hasn't released the "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars."

Before we go to the video game they want to have, let's take a look at the three available iconic games first.

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.
