Nintendo has just unveiled the addition of three classic Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) games for subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service.
To dive into these nostalgic offerings, you’ll need to grab the latest software update (Version 4.0.0) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app.
First up, we have Fatal Fury 2. Dive into this iconic fighting game that first hit the SNES in 1994. The epic brawl between the Bogard brothers and Geese Howard has already gone down in history, setting the stage for the return of the ultimate fighting contest, the King of Fighters. Characters from all walks of life join the fray, each driven by personal ambitions and showcasing martial arts from every corner of the globe. This edition introduces the two-line battle system, allowing fighters to shift positions and launch opponents across lines. On top of that, devastating special moves come into play when a fighter is really feeling the heat. Do you have what it takes to claim the title of King of Fighters?
Next on our list is Super Ninja Boy. Join Jack and Ryu as they embark on a thrilling expedition! The capital city of Yokan is in turmoil following the exit of the Universal Peace Mission’s spacecraft, and it’s up to our daring duo to restore order. Originally launching on the SNES in 1993, this adventurous blend of RPG and action elements challenges players to take on fierce baddies. Gather items and perform slick ninja maneuvers like Throwing Stars and Moonsault Kicks. Fly solo or team up for an even more dynamic experience, pulling off cooperative moves like the Tower Mega-Attack!
Lastly, we have Sutte Hakkun. Step into the shoes of Hakkun as you journey across an island to collect colorful rainbow shards. This clever action-puzzle game first emerged in 1998 on rewritable game cards in Japan, with a full launch on the Super Famicom in 1999. Hakkun boasts a unique ability to suck in blocks and spit them out, crafting paths with your creativity as you hunt for rainbow shards. While it sounds straightforward, the true challenge lies in how you choose to navigate and manipulate the environment to reach those vibrant treasures.
