Each episode is a deep dive into the games that shaped us, discussing not just the games themselves, but the stories behind them, their impact on culture, and how they've influenced the gaming landscape today.

And "Backwards Compatible" isn't just about the games. It's about reliving the pop culture of the '90s and early 2000s through the lens of retro gaming. Remember the excitement of flipping through a gaming magazine, the thrill of finally beating that level you were stuck on for weeks, or the camaraderie of playing with friends? We bring all that back and more.

Backwards Compatible #17 - My Top 10 NES Games on the Nintendo Switch

July 24, 2024 • Dan Kemp • Episode 17

Text us and say hello!

In this week’s episode of "Backwards Compatible," we’ve encountered a bit of an unexpected hiccup. Lou and I were all set to dive into the arcade classic "X-Men vs. Street Fighter," covering its iterations on Arcade, Sega Saturn, and PS1. Unfortunately, we ran into a major technical snag—the audio files from our recording session were corrupted. We didn't have the opportunity to re-record this week, so we've decided to push this discussion to next week’s episode. Hopefully, with a bit more time, we might even unearth some new insights or remember details we missed the first time around!

In place of the planned episode, I'm sharing an old recording from our Generation 'S' YouTube channel. Join me as I count down my Top 10 NES games, but with a twist: every game on the list is available in the Nintendo Switch NES Online Library. This curated list is not just a walk down memory lane; it's a guide for both new and veteran gamers looking to explore some of the NES's legendary titles through their Switch.

We apologize for the change in schedule and thank you for your understanding. Stay tuned for next week when we return to our regular programming with "X-Men vs. Street Fighter," freshly recorded and hopefully even better than before!
