Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Adds Four Classic Games
Battletoads/Double Dragon, Big Run, and More!
Prepare for a nostalgic journey with Nintendo's latest announcement of four SNES titles from the early '90s that are set to enrich the Nintendo Switch Online library. This update brings a mix of genres including action-packed beat-em-ups, adrenaline-pumping racing, challenging puzzles, and a fun-filled dodgeball competition, all available to subscribers.
First on the list is the iconic Battletoads/Double Dragon, a crossover that unites the brawling prowess of Battletoads with the martial arts skills of the Double Dragon brothers. Together, they battle the nefarious Dark Queen and the Shadow Warriors. Players can choose from five characters: Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon, and Zitz, Pimple, and Rash from Battletoads.
Originally launched on the NES in June 1993 and later ported to the Super NES in December of the same year, this game marks its first re-release in decades, now accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Next up is Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō!, known as Super Dodgeball in North America and Europe. This game invites players to step into the dodgeball arena with Kunio-kun from the River City series. Compete against global teams in various settings, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches, each with unique challenges.
The game first hit the Super Famicom in August 1993, and now it's making a comeback for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
For puzzle enthusiasts, Cosmo Gang the Puzzle offers a strategic challenge reminiscent of Tetris and Puyo Puyo. Players clear lines of containers and Cosmos to score points across three engaging modes:
- 1P Mode: Compete against your own high scores.
- VS Mode: Engage in head-to-head battles with friends.
- 100 Stage Mode: Test your skills across increasingly difficult puzzles.
To succeed, align containers horizontally and use blue orbs to remove Cosmos. Initially released in arcades in 1992 and later on the Super Famicom, this game has seen various re-releases, including on the Wii, Wii U, and most recently on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 through the Arcade Archive series.
Lastly, Big Run offers a thrilling racing experience across the rugged terrains of Africa. From the bustling cityscapes of Tripoli to the swampy regions of West Africa, navigate through nine challenging stages. It's not just about speed; strategic planning and resource management are key. Choose your sponsor, build your team, and race against time and competitors while managing your vehicle's condition.
Originally released for the Super Famicom in 1991, Big Run promises an intense and strategic racing adventure.
With this diverse lineup of classic titles, the Nintendo Switch Online library continues to grow, offering something for every type of gamer in the September 2024 update. Whether you're into action, racing, puzzles, or sports, these additions are sure to enhance your gaming experience.
