Nintendo recently announced an exciting update for fans of classic gaming: three new Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) titles are now available to subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Before diving into these nostalgic games, make sure to download the latest software update for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app, specifically Version 4.0.0.
First up, there’s “Fatal Fury 2.” This iconic fighting game, which originally smashed onto the Super NES scene in 1994, continues the saga after the legendary battle involving the Bogard brothers and Geese Howard. The King of Fighters tournament is back with a fresh lineup of contenders. Each fighter steps into the ring driven by personal motives and armed with unique martial arts techniques from around the globe. The game introduces an innovative two-line battle system that allows players to strategically switch positions and launch foes across lines. Plus, unleash devastating special moves when your fighter’s health gets low. The challenge lies in mastering these skills to claim the title of King of Fighters!
Next on the lineup is “Super Ninja Boy,” where you’ll embark on an epic journey with Jack and Ryu. Set against the backdrop of turmoil in Yokan’s capital city following the departure of the Universal Peace Mission’s spaceship fleet, it’s up to our heroes to restore calm. Originally released in 1993, this adventure blends RPG elements with action-packed sequences. You’ll face formidable enemies with the help of ninja techniques like Throwing Stars and Moonsault Kicks. What’s more, you can team up with a second player to perform dynamic duo moves, such as the Tower Mega-Attack!
Lastly, “Sutte Hakkun” invites you to guide Hakkun in a colorful quest for rainbow shards scattered across an island. Initially available on a rewritable game card through the Japanese Nintendo Power service in 1998, it later received a full release on the Super Famicom in 1999. As Hakkun, you’ll manipulate blocks by sucking them up and spitting them out to form pathways. Although the goal might sound straightforward, it’s up to you to strategize and place blocks creatively to collect those elusive rainbow shards!
