Four Classic SNES Games Join the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack
Action, Racing, Puzzles, and Dodgeball!
Prepare for a nostalgic trip back to the early 90s! Nintendo is adding a fantastic selection of SNES games, encompassing diverse genres: beat 'em ups, high-octane racing, strategic puzzles, and even dodgeball!
First up is the iconic crossover: Battletoads/Double Dragon. This action-packed title 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 1993 and later ported to SNES, this marks a long-awaited re-release for this classic beat 'em up.
Next, get ready for some dodgeball mayhem in Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (Super Dodgeball). Featuring Kunio-kun from the River City series, this game challenges you to dodgeball dominance against global rivals. Compete in diverse arenas, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches, each with unique challenges.
Initially released on Super Famicom in August 1993.
Puzzle enthusiasts will appreciate Cosmo Gang the Puzzle. This Tetris and Puyo Puyo-inspired game tests your strategic thinking as you clear lines of containers and Cosmos. Three modes are available: 1P Mode (solo high score challenge), VS Mode (head-to-head competition), and 100 Stage Mode (increasingly difficult puzzles). Line up containers horizontally and utilize blue orbs to remove Cosmos.
Initially an arcade title (1992), it later appeared on Super Famicom (1993) and various other platforms.
Finally, experience the thrill of Big Run, a racing game set against the diverse landscapes of Africa. Race across nine challenging stages, managing resources and strategic decisions to overcome obstacles and beat the clock. Choose your sponsor, build your team, and prepare for a high-stakes race!
Originally released on Super Famicom in 1991.
This September's additions offer a fantastic range of gameplay experiences, ensuring there's something for every Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscriber. Enjoy!
