Nintendo has just opened the door to three more classic SNES games for those who subscribe to their Nintendo Switch Online service, adding a fresh wave of nostalgia for gamers everywhere.
To start diving into these new offerings, make sure your Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app is updated to Version 4.0.0. Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on these new gems:
First up, we have Fatal Fury 2, a staple in the fighting game genre since its 1994 Super NES debut. The infamous clash between the Bogard brothers and Geese Howard is in the past, ushering in another epic King of Fighters tournament. Each character enters with their own agenda and martial art style—from all corners of the globe. This game spices things up with a two-line battle system for tactical shifts and brutally powerful special moves triggered under stress. Your challenge? Rise to the top and claim the title of King of Fighters.
Next, embark on a heroic journey with Super Ninja Boy. This 1993 release pairs RPG depth with action and invites players into a world where Jack and Ryu must save Yokan’s capital from impending doom after the Universal Peace Mission’s spacecraft departs. Engage fearsome enemies with an arsenal of ninja tactics like Throwing Stars or Moonsault Kicks. You can tackle this quest solo or team up with a friend to unleash powerful combo moves like the Tower Mega-Attack—ninja teamwork at its finest!
Lastly, there’s Sutte Hakkun. Initially available in 1998 via the Japanese Nintendo power service before its full release in 1999 on the Super Famicom, this title combines puzzle and action elements in a unique and colorful way. Guide Hakkun in gathering rainbow shards by using his quirky ability to swallow up blocks and then spit them out for strategic pathfinding. Don’t let its simple objective fool you; creativity is key here, and you’ll find yourself concocting clever routes to snag those elusive shards!
