Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Welcomes Four Retro Classics

A Retro Gaming Bonanza: Battletoads, Dodgeball, and More!

Prepare for a nostalgic trip back to the early 1990s! Nintendo has unveiled four SNES games, offering diverse gameplay experiences ranging from intense beat 'em ups to strategic puzzle-solving and high-octane racing. These additions significantly enhance the already impressive library available to Expansion Pack subscribers.

First up, the legendary crossover: Battletoads/Double Dragon. This iconic title unites the brawling Battletoads and the Double Dragon brothers in an epic fight against the Dark Queen and her Shadow Warriors. Choose from five playable characters, including Billy and Jimmy Lee (Double Dragon) and the amphibian trio Zitz, Pimple, and Rash (Battletoads).

Originally released on NES in June 1993 and ported to SNES in December of the same year, this marks a long-awaited return for this classic beat 'em up.

Next, get ready for some dodgeball mayhem with Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (known as Super Dodgeball in the West). This fast-paced game features Kunio-kun from the River City series, challenging players to dominate the court against global rivals. Various arenas, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches, add unique challenges.

Initially released for the Super Famicom in August 1993.

Puzzle enthusiasts will enjoy Cosmo Gang the Puzzle. This Tetris- and Puyo Puyo-inspired title demands strategic thinking to clear lines of containers and Cosmos. Three modes offer varying challenges: 1P Mode (solo high score pursuit), VS Mode (head-to-head competition), and 100 Stage Mode (increasing difficulty). Master the mechanics of horizontal line clearing and utilize blue orbs to remove Cosmos.

Initially an arcade title (1992), it later appeared on Super Famicom (1993) and various platforms since, including the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

Finally, experience the thrill of Big Run, a high-stakes racing game across diverse African landscapes. Nine challenging stages test your driving skills, strategic thinking, and resource management. Choose your sponsor, build your team, and carefully manage your vehicle's condition to conquer the demanding terrain.

Originally released for the Super Famicom in 1991.

This September's additions offer a diverse range of classic gaming experiences. Whether you prefer brawling, puzzle-solving, racing, or dodgeball, this update has something for every Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscriber.
