We're halfway through July, but the month can't end without some new additions to the NES Online library. Here's what they added today. THE GAMES: ![]() DONKEY KONG 3 - A complete departure from Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr., instead being more of a Space Invaders-style shmup as opposed to a typical platformer. I find this far more enjoyable than the previous games (mostly because it controls significantly better), and that would probably have been an unpopular opinion back in the '80s. ![]() WRECKING CREW - This platformer features Mario taking on a new profession as a demolition man. The level is littered with shit Mario has to smash with his hammer, and the game is all about finding the optimal path to take in order to destroy everything, while also avoiding enemies and fireballs. The game is especially challenging considering how Mario can't jump in this one, so you have to make sure your game plan works, because it's astoundingly easy to make the level impossible to beat just by taking the wrong path. Had a lot of fun with this one. We only have one SP game this month: ![]() MIGHTY BOMB JACK SP - A save state that puts you at the final level of the game. I personally didn't find this game that enjoyable, so it's nice to see how it ends without subjecting myself to needless frustration. Just when I thought they've ran out of interesting games to add, Nintendo surprises me and pulls out two more solid NES games this month. That said, this pleasant surprise doesn't quite assuage my "bottom of the barrel" concerns, and I'm still hoping that a massive shift in Nintendo Switch Online content is coming sooner rather than later.
