Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Welcomes Four Retro Gems
Beat 'Em Up Action, Racing Thrills, and More!
Prepare for a nostalgic gaming experience! Nintendo has unveiled four SNES titles from the early 90s, offering diverse gameplay experiences ranging from intense beat 'em up action to strategic puzzle-solving and high-octane racing.
First up: the epic crossover, Battletoads/Double Dragon. This legendary mashup unites the brawling Battletoads and the Double Dragon brothers in a fight against the Dark Queen and her Shadow Warriors. Choose from five playable characters – Billy and Jimmy Lee (Double Dragon) and the amphibian trio, Zitz, Pimple, and Rash (Battletoads).
Originally released on NES in June 1993 and ported to SNES later that year, this marks a long-awaited re-release for this classic title.
Next, get ready to dodge! Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (known as Super Dodgeball in the West) brings the River City Ransom star, Kunio-kun, to a dodgeball showdown. Compete against global rivals in diverse arenas, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches, each with unique challenges.
Originally released for the Super Famicom in August 1993.
Puzzle enthusiasts will appreciate Cosmo Gang the Puzzle. This Tetris and Puyo Puyo-inspired game challenges players to clear lines of containers and Cosmos. Choose from 1P Mode (solo high score chase), VS Mode (head-to-head competition), or 100 Stage Mode (increasing difficulty). Strategic thinking is key to success!
Initially released in arcades in 1992 before its Super Famicom debut the following year, Cosmo Gang the Puzzle has seen re-releases on various platforms, including the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.
Finally, experience the thrill of Big Run! This Super Famicom racing game (1991) takes you on a challenging journey across diverse African terrains. Race against the clock and rivals, managing resources and making strategic decisions to overcome obstacles and reach the finish line.
This September's Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack update offers a diverse and exciting selection of games for subscribers. Whether you prefer brawling, racing, puzzles, or dodgeball, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
