Nintendo has just dropped some exciting news for gaming fans! They’ve added a trio of classic Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) games to the Nintendo Switch Online lineup. If you’re a subscriber, here’s what you can expect when you update your Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app to Version 4.0.0.
First up is “Fatal Fury 2.” Released for the Super NES back in 1994, this fighting game brings the legendary clash of the Bogard brothers and Geese Howard to your fingertips. Now, the stage is set for the King of Fighters tournament once more, where each contender enters with their own backstory and unique fighting techniques. The game introduces the two-line battle system, offering dynamic position shifts and the chance to throw your foes across lines. Keep an eye on your health to unleash powerful special moves when you’re under pressure. Step into the ring and aim to become the King of Fighters!
Next, we have “Super Ninja Boy,” where Jack and Ryu embark on an epic journey. As chaos hits the capital city of Yokan following the departure of the Universal Peace Mission’s space fleet, it’s up to this daring duo to save the day. This 1993 release blends RPG elements with action-packed gameplay. Tackle fierce enemies using items and ninja skills like Throwing Stars or Moonsault Kicks. Team up with a friend for an enhanced experience, pulling off moves like the Tower Mega-Attack by working together!
Finally, “Sutte Hakkun” puts you in control of a quirky little character named Hakkun. Originally made available in 1998 via the Japanese Nintendo Power service, it reached a wider audience with a full release on the Super Famicom in 1999. In this inventive action-puzzle game, your mission is to gather rainbow shards scattered across an island. With the power to absorb and eject blocks to construct paths, you’ll need to think creatively. Hakkun can move with blocks in his mouth, letting you strategically place them for shard collection.
