Nintendo has just unveiled an exciting lineup of four new titles set to enrich the Nintendo Switch Online library this September 2024. Dive in to discover the classic games that will soon be accessible to subscribers.
Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Adds Four Classic Games
Battletoads/Double Dragon, Big Run, and More!
Get ready for a nostalgic journey! Nintendo has revealed a collection of four SNES titles from the early '90s that will be added to the Nintendo Switch Online library. These additions promise a mix of beat-em-up action, high-octane racing, mind-bending puzzles, and competitive dodgeball, enhancing the already diverse library of classic games available to subscribers.
First on the list is the iconic beat-em-up crossover, Battletoads/Double Dragon. This game brings together the brawling prowess of the Battletoads and the martial arts mastery of the Double Dragon brothers to combat the sinister Dark Queen and the Shadow Warriors. Players can choose from five characters, including Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon and the amphibian heroes Zitz, Pimple, and Rash from Battletoads.
Originally launched for the NES in June 1993 and later ported to the Super NES in December of the same year, Battletoads/Double Dragon's inclusion in the Nintendo Switch Online library marks its first re-release in decades.
Next, Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō!, known as Super Dodgeball in North America and Europe, invites players to dominate the dodgeball arena. Compete against international teams across various settings, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches, each with unique challenges and hidden gimmicks.
This game was first released for the Super Famicom in August 1993.
For puzzle enthusiasts, Cosmo Gang the Puzzle offers a strategic challenge akin to Tetris and Puyo Puyo. Players aim to clear lines of containers and Cosmos to score points. The game features three engaging modes:
- 1P Mode: Compete against your own high scores.
- VS Mode: Engage in head-to-head battles with friends.
- 100 Stage Mode: Progress through increasingly challenging puzzles.
To succeed, align containers horizontally and utilize blue orbs to remove Cosmos.
Originally an arcade hit in 1992, Cosmo Gang the Puzzle was later released for the Super Famicom in 1993. It has since been re-released on various platforms, including the Wii, Wii U Virtual Console, and most recently, the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 via the Arcade Archives series.
Finally, Big Run offers an adrenaline-pumping racing experience across the rugged African terrain. From the urban landscapes of Tripoli to the swampy regions of West Africa, navigate nine challenging stages, racing against time and rivals. Success hinges not just on speed but on strategic choices, from selecting sponsors to managing resources and overcoming obstacles like blown tires and engine damage.
Big Run was initially released for the Super Famicom in 1991.
With this diverse lineup of titles, the Nintendo Switch Online service continues to expand its offerings. Whether you're into beat-em-ups, racing, puzzles, or dodgeball, there's something for every gamer in this exciting September 2024 update!
