Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Welcomes Four Retro Classics
Battletoads/Double Dragon, Big Run, and More!
Prepare for a nostalgic gaming experience! Nintendo has unveiled four SNES gems from the early 90s, offering a diverse range of gameplay: intense beat 'em up action, adrenaline-pumping racing, challenging puzzles, and chaotic dodgeball.
First up, the iconic crossover: Battletoads/Double Dragon. This mashup pits the brawling Battletoads against 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 Zitz, Pimple, and Rash (Battletoads).
Originally released on NES in June 1993 and ported to SNES in December of the same year, this marks a long-awaited return for this classic title.
Next, get ready for some dodgeball mayhem with Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (Super Dodgeball in the West). Featuring Kunio-kun from the River City series, this game challenges you to dodgeball dominance against global rivals across diverse courts, each with unique challenges.
Initially launched for the Super Famicom in August 1993.
Puzzle enthusiasts will appreciate Cosmo Gang the Puzzle. Similar to Tetris and Puyo Puyo, strategically clear lines of containers and Cosmos to score big. Three modes are available: 1P Mode (solo high score chase), VS Mode (head-to-head competition), and 100 Stage Mode (increasing difficulty). Line up containers horizontally and utilize descending blue orbs to remove Cosmos.
Initially an arcade game (1992), it later appeared on Super Famicom (1993) and various platforms including Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.
Finally, experience the thrill of Big Run, a racing game set across the diverse landscapes of Africa. Race against the clock and rivals across nine challenging stages, managing resources and strategic choices to overcome obstacles and achieve victory.
Big Run debuted on the Super Famicom in 1991.
This September's additions significantly expand the Nintendo Switch Online library, offering a compelling selection for fans of diverse genres. Whether you crave beat 'em ups, racing, puzzles, or dodgeball, this update has something for everyone!
