Nintendo has once again expanded its library for the Nintendo Switch Online service by adding three more games from the classic Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). If you’re a subscriber, you’ll want to grab the latest update for the SNES – Nintendo Switch Online app, now up to Version 4.0.0, to start playing these new entries.
First on the list is “Fatal Fury 2.” Released back in 1994, this iconic fighting game returns you to the legendary battleground where the Bogard brothers once faced off against Geese Howard. The King of Fighters tournament has reopened, drawing competitors from across the globe, each with personal reasons and unique martial arts skills. The game introduces a two-line battle system, letting you strategically switch positions, and features powerful special moves that only unleash when a fighter is significantly injured. Do you have what it takes to rise as the King of Fighters?
Next, we have “Super Ninja Boy,” where Jack and Ryu embark on a daring journey. Chaos ensues in Yokan, and in this 1993 release, it’s up to you to quell the uprising. Blending RPG and action, the game challenges you to use ninja tactics like Throwing Stars and Moonsault Kicks to defeat formidable foes. Join forces with a friend, take on a partner for additional techniques, and execute cooperative attacks like the Tower Mega-Attack.
Lastly, delve into the charming world of “Sutte Hakkun.” Originally launched on a rewritable game card through the Japanese Nintendo Power service in 1998, it saw a full Super Famicom release in 1999. The game has you playing as Hakkun, a little creature with a knack for absorbing and placing blocks to overcome puzzles. Your mission is to gather rainbow shards hidden throughout the island, and creativity is your best ally as you manipulate blocks to forge a path towards the colorful fragments.
