It's finally happening. Super Nintendo games are coming to the Nintendo Switch on Thursday.

Nintendo announced Wednesday a handful of SNES games will be available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers on the Nintendo Switch starting Thursday for no additional cost. This comes almost a full year after Nintendo Switch Online launched alongside a bunch of classic NES games.

The first round of SNES games available to Online subscribers includes some obvious hits like Super Mario World, Super Metroid, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, but it will also start with a few oddballs like Stunt Race FX, Brawl Brothers, and Super Soccer. No word on Star Fox 2 yet, which remains an exclusive on the SNES Classic console.

Alongside the new games, Nintendo revealed a wireless SNES controller for the Switch for $29.99.
