Nintendo N64 and Genesis games are going to be a premium service for Switch Online soon, and people are going to be paying extra. Worth it?

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for October 12th, 2021. In todays article, weve got a pair of big reviews for you to enjoy. First up, Ive got my review of Metroid Dread ready. Im sure everyone has been waiting patiently for it.

In the announcement, Nintendo UK also confirmed that for some games, European users will be able to select PAL versions in order to play in other languages....

I never expected to see ActRaiser again. A memorable and successful early release for the 16-bit Super NES in North America, ActRaiser hasnt had a lot of luck since then. It was followed up by an incredibly misguided sequel that seemingly killed the franchise.
