Though the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack offers Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games, those who are only subscribed to the cheaper, base tier of the service still get their money's worth, with a back catalog of over 60 NES titles, and over 50 SNES titles to choose from. But from the start, there's been one feature that's made Nintendo Switch Online a must-have subscription: its catalog of NES and SNES games.

This decision wasn't met with too much backlash, as fans had been warned about this well in advance, and the price tag was significantly lower than both Xbox and PlayStation's online services. But after a year, Nintendo announced that Switch Online would cost $20 per year. When the Nintendo Switch first came out, its online service was free for everyone, which made the severe latency issues and bizarre communications system feel a little more acceptable.

Replaced mention of “Avalanche” in ending with “Puyo Puyo”.Nintendo Switch Online has had a bit of a mixed reception since its soft launch in 2017.

Rewrote parts of the tutorial to use Puyo Puyo terminology.

Adjusted some text box widths to be consistent with edited dialogue.

Some lines used to have missing punctuation due to length limitations, but not anymore!

Adjusted dialogue for Poppy Bro Sr., Whispy Woods, and Kabu.

In addition to the normal patch, the download includes an alternate patch that also replaces all in-game references to Avalanche with Puyo Puyo (aside from the title itself).

If this game got an official release today with a new script, I’d like to think it would be something like this. Not everything is rewritten some scenes are replaced entirely, while others are only slightly adjusted or even completely unchanged. This hack rewrites much of the game’s dialogue to be more consistent in tone with the rest of the series most notably, it makes Kirby nicer. The game also has very stoic dialogue for many characters, backed with a decent amount of Engrish. Kirby’s Avalanche is infamous for being the one game where Kirby not only has a large amount of dialogue, but acts uncharacteristically rude compared to his other in-game depictions and very different from his usual cheery self.
