Nintendo has just rolled out a fresh batch of Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) classics for subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service. Gamers are in for a treat with three new additions to explore.
To dive into these nostalgic titles, make sure you’ve downloaded the latest update for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app, now at Version 4.0.0.
First up is Fatal Fury 2, taking us back to the ring for the next chapter in this iconic fighting game series. Originally debuting in 1994 on the Super NES, this installment pits players against formidable opponents in a global martial arts tournament, the King of Fighters. New mechanics, like the two-line battle system, let you switch positions and strategize with devastating moves that are unlocked when characters are seriously hurt. It’s your chance to rise to the top and claim the title of King of Fighters!
Next, embark on an epic journey with Super Ninja Boy. Released in 1993, this hybrid of RPG and action elements has players joining Jack and Ryu as they rush to save the troubled capital of Yokan. With the Universal Peace Mission’s fleet having mysteriously vanished, it’s up to our heroes to tackle fearsome enemies using a variety of ninja techniques like Throwing Stars and Moonsault Kicks. Play solo or team up with a friend to unleash even more formidable ninja powers, including the spectacular Tower Mega-Attack!
Then there’s the captivating Sutte Hakkun. Originally introduced via the Japanese Nintendo Power service and later fully released in 1999 on the Super Famicom, this game offers a unique action-puzzle experience. Players control Hakkun, an endearing creature capable of absorbing and repositioning blocks to collect colorful rainbow shards scattered across an island. Despite seeming straightforward, the path to collecting these shards opens up layers of creative problem-solving, each challenge urging you to craft new routes with Hakkun’s abilities.
