Exciting Addition for Switch Owners
Switch owners are in for a treat as Nintendo is offering a new batch of retro games for free through the Nintendo Switch Online service. This service, which already includes over 200 games, now adds three Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) games that have never been released outside of Japan.
What's Included in the Update?
The three games included in this update are Super R-Type, Wrecking Crew '98, and Amazing Hebereke. Super R-Type is a challenging side-scrolling shooter that originated in the arcade game R-Type II. Wrecking Crew '98 is a puzzle game featuring Mario, while Amazing Hebereke is a top-down party brawler game with a unique story mode and stages for players to fight in.
Accessibility and Options for Players
Although Wrecking Crew '98 and Amazing Hebereke are only available with Japanese text, they do not require extensive reading to complete. These games are accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online – SNES app, which can be downloaded for free by subscribers.
Expanding Game Library
In addition to SNES games, subscribers to the base Nintendo Switch Online also have access to NES games, as well as Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. Alternatively, users can upgrade to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, which expands the service to include Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Mega Drive games. The Expansion Pack also offers free access to DLC for popular Nintendo games like Splatoon 2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, making it a great value for money.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Nintendo Switch owners are in for an exciting addition to their gaming library with these new free retro games available through the Nintendo Switch Online service.
