Nintendo continues to uphold its dedication to retro gaming through the ever-expanding Nintendo Switch Online service.
As part of its Classics range, Nintendo has regularly introduced beloved titles from past platforms, including the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, and SEGA Mega Drive.
This approach not only preserves gaming history, it also brings timeless experiences to new and returning players via the Nintendo Switch hardware and the Nintendo Switch eShop.
Recent statements from industry insider Shpeshal Nick suggest that the Nintendo Switch Online Classics library may soon be bolstered by additional legacy platforms.
According to the leaker, who has previously shared both accurate and imprecise early information, Nintendo is preparing to introduce game selections from the Wii, Nintendo DS, and even the SEGA CD to its Switch Online subscribers.
While Wii and Nintendo DS titles would be expected additions, given their significance in Nintendo’s hardware lineage, the potential inclusion of SEGA CD games marks a notable extension of the already existing SEGA Mega Drive lineup available on the service.
The SEGA CD, launched in the early 1990s as an add-on to the Genesis/Mega Drive, was known for its unique library and role in pioneering disc-based gaming within the home console market.
In a notable update, Shpeshal Nick also claims that, for users of Wii titles on Nintendo Switch Online, there will be no need for a traditional Wii Sensor Bar.
It is reported that a specialized Wii Remote peripheral will facilitate gameplay without the requirement for the original sensor hardware; if accurate, this solution would offer both convenience and accessibility for Nintendo Switch users without additional setup.
Nintendo Switch Online has become a cornerstone for digital distribution of classic video games, with the service reaching millions of subscribers since its launch in September 2018.
The eShop continues to see high engagement from enthusiasts eager to revisit or discover gaming history.
Expanding its Classics library with iconic Wii, Nintendo DS, and SEGA CD games highlights Nintendo’s ongoing effort to preserve seminal games for contemporary audiences while also reinforcing the Switch’s position as an all-in-one platform for gaming across generations.
As Nintendo traditionally unveils new Switch Online content through official channels or Nintendo Direct presentations, fans and industry analysts alike will be watching closely for confirmation and additional details on these developments.
In the meantime, the rumblings of more classic titles remain a positive signal for retro enthusiasts and collectors hoping to enjoy more of Nintendo’s rich legacy on the Nintendo Switch.
