Once upon a time, there was a gamer named Alex. Alex loved his Nintendo Switch, but he had a craving. He wanted to play Super Mario Bros., the classic 1985 game that started it all. He opened the eShop and searched for the title.

Recommendation:

Now if only Hamster would release Vs. Super Mario Bros. 2 on Arcade Archives… a player can dream.
