Nintendo has just expanded its retro game offerings for subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service by adding three more classics from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
If you’re eager to dive into these nostalgic gems, make sure to update your Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app to the latest version, 4.0.0. Here’s what you can look forward to:
First up is “Fatal Fury 2,” where a fresh legend begins. In this iconic fighting game from 1994, the epic showdown between the Bogard brothers and Geese Howard is part of history, paving the way for another King of Fighters tournament. Each character brings their own backstory and unique martial arts prowess to the ring, representing different corners of the globe. The game introduces new strategic elements with the two-line battle system, which allows for more dynamic movement and the power to unleash devastating special attacks when your strength is low. Do you have what it takes to claim the title of King of Fighters?
Next on the roster is “Super Ninja Boy,” where Jack and Ryu embark on a bold journey. When chaos threatens the capital city of Yokan following the Universal Peace Mission’s departure, it’s up to these two heroes to save the day. Blending RPG elements with action, this 1993 release invites players to engage in combat with powerful enemies using items and ninja techniques like Throwing Stars and Moonsault Kicks. You can venture alone or take on the challenge with a friend for even more ninja action, including the impressive Tower Mega-Attack!
Last but not least is “Sutte Hakkun,” a unique action-puzzle game that tasks players with guiding Hakkun in collecting rainbow shards. Originally a special release in Japan via a rewritable game card in 1998, it later saw a full launch on the Super Famicom in 1999. As Hakkun, you’ll manipulate blocks by sucking them up and spitting them out to carve your path. Despite its straightforward objective, creativity is key to arranging blocks and reaching those elusive rainbow shards!
