There are 79 games in the Nintendo Switch Online library for the NES. For this episode, Matthew played all of them, while Samuel managed about 60 before the actual recording (then went and played the rest straight after – Fire ‘N’ Ice was alright).
Which games beyond the obvious ones hold up? And which are just total ass? And how much has playing a load of old Atari games in recent weeks changed our perception of the console?
