Show Notes
On this episode of The Middle School Mind podcast, we talk about throwback SNES games that are available on Nintendo Switch Online. Son highlights his Top 5 SNES games available on the Nintendo Switch Online.
Here’s what we cover on this episode:
How to access the SNES games through Nintendo Switch Online
Son lists his Top 5 games he plays on the SNES
5. The Peace Keepers (1994)
Beat ‘em up arcade game with sweet 80’s music.
Son likes to play as Al who looks like Rock and uses a Rocket Launcher
4. Super Mario World (1990)
You can hatch and ride Yoshi in this game
This game also has the super cape option that lets you fly
3. Super Punch Out (1994)
No Mike Tyson
Your first fight is again 1-99 Gabby Jay, a grandfatherly figure that no boxing organization should allow to fight professionally
2. Super Tennis (1991)
It’s fun to play this tennis game either with a friend or against the CPU
We are not that great at this game and the graphics are a slight step up from the Original NES - I guess that’s what makes it Super Tennis
Before we list Son’s top SNES game available on the Nintendo Switch Online, we have a few honorable (or dishonorable) mentions:
Baseball Simulator 1.000 (1991): You have power up abilities for hitters and pitchers
Natsume Championship Wrestling (1994) The game developers must have used a bad wrestling name generator to come up with these characters
Demon’s Crest (1994) This game is so intense and Son can’t get past the first series. For 1994, this game has a great story and graphics.
1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991)
This is an old time Zelda game, not an open sandbox world like Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Son has invested a lot of time playing this game
Finally, Son has a final SNES game that will only frustrate you. Don’t play this because it’s crazy hard.
Super Ghouls and Ghosts (1991) Eight super difficult levels. You will be frustrated at how hard this game is.

In this bonus episode of The Middle School Mind podcast, Father and Son take a listen back to our very first episode, Hello World when he was early in his 6th grade year as a fresh-faced middles schooler.
In this final episode of the Middle School Mind podcast, Father and Son are back on 8th Grade Graduation Day Eve to reflect on Son's middle school journey. He shares his experiences from 8th grade, including funny memories and challenges with teachers and classmates. He talks about his school's 8th grade dance and Six Flags trip, offering advice for kids entering middle school.
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. After months of deliberation and soul-searching Father and Son publish their last and final episode of The Middle School Mind podcast.
