Nintendo has just announced four fantastic additions to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack library, launching this September 2024. Get ready for a retro gaming bonanza!
Prepare for a nostalgic trip back to the early '90s! Nintendo is adding four SNES titles, offering a diverse mix of genres—beat 'em up action, high-octane racing, challenging puzzles, and even dodgeball!
First up, the legendary mashup: Battletoads/Double Dragon. This epic collaboration 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—the Lee brothers and the amphibian trio—and get ready to rumble! Originally released on NES in 1993 and later ported to SNES, this is a long-awaited re-release.
Next, get ready to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge in Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (Super Dodge Ball). This fast-paced dodgeball game from the River City series features Kunio-kun and intense competition across various courts, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches. Originally released for Super Famicom in August 1993.
Puzzle fans rejoice! Cosmo Gang the Puzzle challenges your strategic thinking with its Tetris-like gameplay. Clear lines of containers and Cosmos to score big. Three modes await: 1P Mode (solo challenge), VS Mode (head-to-head battles), and 100 Stage Mode (a grueling test of skill). Originally an arcade game (1992), it later appeared on Super Famicom and various other platforms.
Finally, experience the thrill of Big Run, a high-stakes racing game set across the diverse landscapes of Africa. Race against the clock and rivals across nine challenging stages, managing resources and making strategic decisions to ensure victory. Originally released for Super Famicom in 1991.
This September's additions to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack offer something for everyone. Whether you crave beat 'em up action, adrenaline-pumping races, brain-bending puzzles, or some good old-fashioned dodgeball, this update is a winner!
