Last week saw the long-awaited arrival of SNES games on Nintendo Switch. Those with a Switch Online subscription now have access to 20 classic SNES titles on Nintendo's hybrid console, with more on the way in the future. However, it seems these new additions won't be coming on a monthly basis as we've grown to expect.

　　Since the Nintendo Switch Online service launched last September, Nintendo has added a handful of new NES titles to the console each month; going forward, however, it appears classic games will come more sporadically. In a statement to Business Insider, a Nintendo representative said, "More NES games will be added in the future, but those releases will not adhere to a regular schedule."

　　The same will hold true for SNES titles. "More Super NES games will be added after launch, but those releases will not adhere to a regular schedule," the Nintendo representative said.

　　To date, there are nearly 50 NES games on the Nintendo Switch Online service; most recently, Nintendo added Kung-Fu Heroes and the rare Vice: Project Doom in August. The SNES library, meanwhile, already comes with some of the system's best games, including The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, and Yoshi's Island. You can see the full current lineup below:
