    Also PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch

    For those that may have missed it, Orange Island is a super cute indie game currently in the works by developer Ted Sterchi, and the team at Birthday Boy. It is a 2D platform game in the style of classic SNES games. So much in the style, in fact, that it is being ported to the Super Nintendo. Pretty awesome, right.

    Well, if that isn’t cool enough, I just found out from a recent Tweet that the games soundtrack is getting more and more in-depth. The soundtrack already features work from Hiroki Kikuta, who has worked on such games as Soul Caliber V and Tangledeep. Now, Ted has revealed in a recent Tweet that Soyo Oka will be joining the Birthday Boy team and adding some original compositions to the game.

    For those that don’t know, Soyo Oka is renowned for her work on such classic games as SimsCity (SNES), Pilot Wings and Super Mario Kart. Her presence on Orange Island is sure to bring a real original Nintendo feel to the game. One that is sure to etch this throwback title into the history books.

    For more information on Orange Island, you can click the link above or visit the official Kickstarter page. To keep a close eye on this title, be sure to follow the game on Twitter, or find them on Discord.

    The SNES Controller for the Nintendo Switch is now available for purchase!

    If, like me, you have been really getting into the SNES Arcade now available on Switch, then there is good news. A new accessory will make these games a bit more accessible. Super Mario World would play a lot better if could run without feeling that right joystick bugging me. The new SNES Controller should cure many woes when comes to playing the classics.

    Well, we can now play more comfortably and complete our nostalgia package with an official Nintendo Switch controller designed after the classic SNES Controller. Speaking of comfort, the controller will connect wirelessly. A little less burdensome than its predecessor, the original SNES Controller.

    SNES Controller

    The controller is only available for purchase to those with a Nintendo Switch Online account. Also, you can only purchase four controllers on each NSO account, but who needs more than four anyway? It comes with its own USB cord for charging, but you can also use the AC adapter that came with your Switch.

    I can’t wait to get one of my own. If you’d like your Super Nintendo Controller now, you can visit the official Nintendo website. For more great Nintendo Switch accessories, check out our list of ones you can’t miss.

    The recent news of Super Nintendo games coming to Switch also came with an SNES controller.

    At the most recent Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that there is a new games library available for Nintendo Switch that contains a bunch of awesome classic SNES games. IF that wasn’t cool enough, it was also revealed that there will be a new controller released for the Nintendo Switch that is modeled after the SNES controller. Now, not only can we play all these classic games on this modern console, but also get that nostalgic feel with the “real” SNES controller.

    As of yet, there is no release date for the SNES controller. But seeing as how the new SNES games library is already up and running, its sure to be in the not-too-distant future. They will be charged via USB-C, and connected to the console wirelessly. While these controllers will not be required to play games in the SNES library, it will certainly be a welcomed addition to any core gamers repertoire. These controllers will be for sale only to Nintendo Switch Online members and will cost about $29.99. For more information about the controller, you can check out the official Nintendo website.

    With the increased popularity of nostalgia gaming, we have made a list of our favorite Super Nintendo games.

    Nostalgia gaming to seems to be all the buzz, of late. It appears to have all begun with an influx of dedicated home video game consoles. We now have the Playstation Classic, NES classic and even Super NES classic editions. All home consoles that have games built right in. Now, we even have new titles being released on classic consoles, such as Orange Island and its release on NES. There has never been a better time to indulge in the classics that we’ve all come to love over so many years.

    Click Title Of Game For Purchase Option

    Harvest Moon

    The Harvest Moon series has been a long standing favorite here at myPotatoGames. We simply can’t get enough of simple yet adorable farming sim titles. The original Harvest Moon was released in North America for the Super Nintendo in June of 1997. This amazing title became the inspiration for an entire generation of RPG farming simulation games. The spunky main characters and adorable little animals in this series have brought endless joy to countless gamers. If you’ve never played, this is one classic that you should definitely check out.

    The Lion King

    The Lion King for Super Nintendo never really lost its fame. It has been long renown for its difficulty, and played by many through the years for that exact reason. Going beyond that, it also happens to be a super charming game based on a classic wonderful film (one that has recently been remade). The original game was released in North America in October of 1994. Given that the many of the elements of the game were actually drawn by Disney Imagineers, you truly get the feel of a family classic in the most wholesome of titles.

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past

    The Zelda series has hit us with some really great games over the years. But we must always remember our roots. LoZ: A Link to the Past was originally released in North America in November of 1991, then later ported to the Gameboy Advance in December of 2002. A prequel to the original titles, Link to the Past was one of the best selling games for the Super Nintendo, and it’s pretty obvious why. The cutesy graphics alone are enough to have us replaying this one for years to come.

    Super Mario World

    Of all the Mario titles that we’ve seen, Super Mario World still holds a little place in our hearts. The good ole days of booting up the SNES to partake in the most grand adventures as Mario himself, with the help of many classic friends that have been longstanding heroes too many. Super Mario World was released in North America in August of 1991, and was also ported to the Gameboy Advance in 2002. Super Mario World also happens to be the best selling game for the Super Nintendo.

    Super Mario Kart

    With nearly as many remakes as the titles from which Mario Kart gets its namesake, Super Mario Kart is one original title that just doesn’t really get old. What’s not to love about getting down with some Mario Kart without all the new-age racket that has been added to the series over the years. Super Mario Kart didn’t need a million customizations to keep us playing for hours, it was simply one of the best racing experiences on the market. Super Mario was released in September of 1992, and ended up being the fourth best selling game released for the Super Nintendo.

    To play all of these amazing titles, be sure to get your hands on a Super Nintendo (which can be found on Amazon or Ebay), and for some a Gameboy Advance (also available on Amazon and Ebay)!
