Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 16th, 2023. It’s Thursday, and it’s another big-pants day for new games. We’ve got around twenty new titles to look at. Some are good, some are interesting, and some are just plain dubious. We’ve got summaries of all of them, plus a little bit of news and the usual lists of new and expiring sales. Let’s get to it!

New Game Boy, Super NES, and NES Games Have Been Added to Nintendo Switch Online

I don’t do a lot of news stuff on Thursdays when I can avoid it, but my hand is forced when Nintendo goes and adds some new games to Nintendo Switch Online. Especially when they add NES and Super NES games, which are about as rare as hen’s teeth these days. Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can update their NES, Super NES, and Game Boy apps to get access to four newly-added classic games. On the NES, it’s Namco’s influential shoot-em-up Xevious. The Super NES gets Data East’s popular pool game Side Pocket. Finally, on Game Boy we’ve got Data East’s cool BurgerTime Deluxe, a fine sequel that more people need to play, and Nintendo’s Kirby’s Dream Land 2, a fine sequel that many people have already played. Yes, those are some good games. Enjoy!
