Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack: Four Retro Classics Arrive

Beat 'em Ups, Racing, Puzzles, and Dodgeball!

Get ready for a nostalgic gaming experience! Nintendo has unveiled four fantastic SNES titles from the early 90s, bringing diverse gameplay to the Nintendo Switch Online service. Prepare for beat 'em up action, high-speed racing, challenging puzzles, and even some dodgeball mayhem!

First up: the iconic crossover, Battletoads/Double Dragon. Team up with the Battletoads and the Double Dragon brothers to defeat the Dark Queen and her Shadow Warriors. Choose from five playable characters, including Billy and Jimmy Lee (Double Dragon) and the amphibian trio Zitz, Pimple, and Rash (Battletoads).

Originally released on NES in June 1993 and ported to SNES in December of the same year, this marks Battletoads/Double Dragon's long-awaited return.

Next, dive into the dodgeball arena with Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (known as Super Dodgeball in the West). Featuring Kunio-kun from the River City series, you'll compete against global rivals in various exciting locations, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches.

This Super Famicom classic originally launched in August 1993.

Puzzle enthusiasts will appreciate Cosmo Gang the Puzzle. Similar to Tetris and Puyo Puyo, strategically clear lines of containers and Cosmos to score big. Choose from three modes: 1P Mode (solo play), VS Mode (head-to-head), and 100 Stage Mode (increasing difficulty). Line up containers horizontally and use blue orbs to remove Cosmos.

Initially released in arcades in 1992, then on Super Famicom in 1993, Cosmo Gang the Puzzle has seen re-releases on various platforms, including the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

Finally, experience the thrill of Big Run! Race across challenging African landscapes, from Tripoli to West Africa's swamps, in nine intense stages. Success depends not only on speed but also on strategy and resource management. Choose your sponsor, build your team, and carefully manage your vehicle's condition.

Big Run originally debuted on the Super Famicom in 1991.

This impressive selection significantly expands the Nintendo Switch Online library. Whether you prefer brawling, racing, puzzles, or dodgeball, this September update offers something for everyone!
