It’s great to see new consoles added to the Nintendo Switch Online service. It’s a convenient way to play some great games and also the introduction of even more Zelda games to the system. Good news all around, in my opinion!

Now, Nintendo, if you could please just put Mother 3 on the service, that would be great…
