Nintendo recently rolled out a treat for nostalgia enthusiasts by adding three iconic SNES games to the Nintendo Switch Online lineup. If you’re a subscriber, get ready to dive into some vintage gaming fun by grabbing the latest update for the SNES – Nintendo Switch Online app, now at Version 4.0.0.
First up is “Fatal Fury 2.” Launched back in 1994, this fighting game invites players to immerse themselves in the high-stakes world of the King of Fighters tournament. The epic struggle between the Bogard brothers and Geese Howard might be old news, but there’s a fresh battle arena waiting. Each fighter enters the ring with personal motives and martial arts prowess unique to every corner of the globe. Get ready to engage with the two-line battle strategy, letting you maneuver across positions and launch opponents between lines, alongside special moves that pack a punch when you’re in a pinch. Sharpen your skills and clinch the title of King of Fighters!
Next in the lineup is “Super Ninja Boy.” In this 1993 release, you’ll join Jack and Ryu on a heroic journey. With the Universal Peace Mission’s fleet gone, chaos stirs in Yokan’s capital, and it’s these ninja duo’s task to put things right. The game is a thrilling mix of RPG and action elements, pitting you against formidable enemies. Gather items and unleash signature ninja moves like Throwing Stars or Moonsault Kicks. Whether you fly solo or team up with a friend, supercharge your gameplay by executing combined attacks, like the impressive Tower Mega-Attack.
Lastly, we have “Sutte Hakkun,” an action-puzzle challenge that first emerged in 1998 via the Japanese Nintendo power service, achieving a full release on the Super Famicom a year later. As Hakkun, you get to play around with absorbing and relocating blocks to collect elusive rainbow shards across the island. While it might appear straightforward, the game encourages a clever approach where you use Hakkun’s ability to transport blocks, forming paths to reach your goal. Unleash your creativity to cleverly navigate to those rainbow fragments!
