Good list. Some of those ‘likely not’ could still make it, eg Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Four Swords Adventures are playable without the accessories. ---

Four Swords Adventures is only _technically_ playable without the accessories. It’s an extremely compromised experience. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat has licensed songs in it so it wouldn’t likely be released. ---

They added Kid Icarus: of Myths & Monsters. ---

> [@razorbeamz](#): > > Four Swords Adventures is only _technically_ playable without the accessories. It’s an extremely compromised experience. I disagree, while it loses the wow/gimmick factor of a GBA, for single player I much prefer using a controller because you have instant access to the formations. > [@razorbeamz](#): > > Donkey Kong Jungle Beat has licensed songs in it so it wouldn’t likely be released Huh I did not know it had licensed songs. ---

Oh wait, Jungle Beat, not Konga. Got them mixed up. No licensed songs but I just think it’s unlikely they’d put it on NSO and expect people to play it with A and B. ---

Some games I listed as possible but personally don’t think are likely: **Yoshi’s Cookie** is apparently tied up in some licensing mess with Game Freak and the designer of some of the cookies. **Winter Gold** is a European exclusive and very obscure. **Itoi Shigesato no Bass Tsuri No. 1 (SFC)** is deeply tied into Satellaview **Donkey Kong Country (GBC)** is kind of redundant and also mainly exists as a novelty. Similar for **Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3 (GBA)** but they put the Super Mario Advance games on there so it’s possible. **WarioWare Twisted** requires the player to turn the system upside down a lot, something that could be difficult on Switch. **Kirby Air Ride** could eat into profits of Kirby Air Riders.
