Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack: Four Retro Classics Join the Lineup
Action, Racing, Puzzles, and Dodgeball!
Get ready for a retro gaming extravaganza! Nintendo is adding four SNES gems from the early 90s to its ever-growing library. This update delivers thrilling beat 'em up action, high-octane racing, challenging puzzles, and even some competitive dodgeball fun.
First up: the legendary crossover, Battletoads/Double Dragon. This epic team-up 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, including the Double Dragon duo and the amphibian trio from Battletoads.
Originally released on NES in 1993, then ported to SNES later that year, this marks a long-awaited return for Battletoads/Double Dragon.
Next, get ready for some dodgeball action in Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (known as Super Dodgeball in the West). This title features Kunio-kun from the River City series, challenging players to dominate the dodgeball court against global rivals. Multiple courts, from indoor arenas to outdoor beaches, each offer unique challenges.
Originally a Super Famicom release in August 1993.
Puzzle enthusiasts will enjoy Cosmo Gang the Puzzle. This Tetris and Puyo Puyo-inspired title requires strategic thinking to clear lines of containers and Cosmos. Choose from 1P Mode, VS Mode (head-to-head), or the challenging 100 Stage Mode. Line up containers horizontally and utilize descending blue orbs to clear Cosmos.
Initially released in arcades in 1992, it later hit the Super Famicom and has seen re-releases on various platforms, including the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.
Finally, experience the thrill of Big Run, a racing game that takes you across diverse African landscapes, from Tripoli to West Africa's swamps. Nine challenging stages test your driving skills, strategic thinking, and resource management. Choose your sponsor, build your team, and race against the clock!
Originally released for the Super Famicom in 1991.
This September's additions provide something for every taste. Whether you prefer brawling, racing, puzzles, or dodgeball, the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack continues to deliver!
