"As if you needed reminding, next week is March 10, or MAR10 Day, as the marketing wizards at Nintendo have been calling it for the last decade or so. You can usually rely on Mario Day for some plumber-related goodies, and Nintendo has announced that three retro games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online next week."
"Both of the soon-to-be added Virtual Boy titles originally came out in 1995. Mario Clash is something of a 3D reimagining of the arcade Mario Bros. game, while Mario's Tennis was actually the first game in the Mario Tennis series, making it a nice companion piece to Mario Tennis Fever, which recently launched on Switch 2."
"Mario Vs. Donkey Kong for the GBA is a more unexpected addition, not least because Nintendo remade the charming puzzle-platformer for Switch just a few years ago. Having the source material available on the console too via NSO is obviously nice, but there are other still absent Mario games from the iconic handheld's enviable library."
Nintendo celebrates MAR10 Day on March 10 by adding three classic Mario titles to Nintendo Switch Online. Mario Clash and Mario's Tennis, both originally released in 1995 for Virtual Boy, join the Virtual Boy app within the Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Mario Clash reimagines the arcade Mario Bros. game in 3D, while Mario's Tennis marks the series' debut. Mario Vs. Donkey Kong arrives for Game Boy Advance emulation. These additions require either the $100 Virtual Boy replica or $25 cardboard headset for Virtual Boy games. The GBA title is notable as Nintendo recently remade it for Switch, though other classic Mario GBA games remain absent from the service.
