Nintendo Switch Online retro catalog games for October 2025 announced



Nintendo has three new titles for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, Arriving tomorrow will be a handful of Super Nintendo classics: Fatal Fury Special, Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, and Mario & Wario. The latter of which was a puzzle title, only released in Japan for the Super Famicom in 1993.

Mario & Wario: Action puzzles abound in this title released only in Japan for the Super Famicom™ system in 1993. Wario has dropped a bucket on poor Mario's head, and now he can't see! So it's up to you to lead Mario safely to Luigi. Use the forest fairy's magic wand to create platforms, change the direction Mario walks, and defeat enemies. You can clear a total of 100 screens full of unique challenges using simple controls—just move the mouse to move the fairy and click the left button once to perform actions.

BUBSY™ in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind Bubsy the bobcat is on the prowl to recover his stolen yarn! Play as the furr-ocious feline himself in this action title released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ in 1993. Bubsy's grand adventure begins when his precious yarn is stolen by a race of yarn-obsessed aliens, the Woolies. Gallivant across 16 total stages, each containing an average of 300 screens, packed with wacky enemies and kooky mechanics. Dash through every nook and cranny of these vast stages as you search for yarn balls scattered throughout and make for the goal.

FATAL FURY SPECIAL Pit 15 different fighters against each other!This fighting game, released for the Super NES™ console in 1995, includes the original eight characters from FATAL FURY 2, as well as three new characters (Billy Kane, Axel Hawk, and Laurence Blood) and a new boss (Wolfgang Krauser). Additionally, three characters from the original FATAL FURY (Tung Fu Rue, Duck King, and Geese Howard) have returned to the fight. By building on the appeal from the previous game with its two-line battles, special moves, and powerful finishers, on top of further improving the series's formula, this game is truly worthy of the title "SPECIAL." And if you can meet certain special conditions, Ryo Sakazaki from the ART OF FIGHTING series will make a special guest appearance, which is noteworthy in itself!

holyshit, 2 timeless classic of pure joy and wonder, and then this fucking trash that nobody played, wtf is mario and wario???
I do recommend giving it a try. You may not enjoy it, but it's worth a look.

It's interesting that this game is still somewhat obscure, despite being a Mario game.

The Japanese cover of Bubsy looks really nice.

There have been a few cases of unique box arts for NTSC-J releases. Here's Jak & Daxter's:

i was joking, i did play it on emulator as a kid, never finished it but its a neat concept
 
Oh cool we are getting Bubsy the Bob Cat! That’s a worthy addition
Post automatically merged:

ahhh that sweet sweet drip you lovin it sheep?! funny how they add bubsy after it's been re-released and you get more than ONE game :lol:
Has Bubsy already been released as a N64 title?
 
Oh GOD! Not Bubsy AGAIN! How is it that it was possible for him to come back to life? He should've stayed dead.

(Refined professorial voice) Someone hasn't been keeping up with the Bubsy parade. We're talking tiger's blood- from a bobcat.

You see, Bubsy is such an iconic and beloved character that he cannot stay out of the headlines. We got Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back in 2017 and Bubsy: Paws on Fire! in 2019, but that was not enough for Accolade. We just got Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection, and Bubsy 4D is set for 2026.

You cannot escape Bubsy. Every time you think Bubsy's gone quiet for good, that's when he strikes.

TL;DR: Bubsy is eternal. Stop reading this in my refined professorial voice.

Blame whatever group of people running the copmany very generously called Atari (they got it through legal warfare) these days, they can't stop trying to farm otherwise dead IPs they own right now to indie studios.
 
Bubsy 2 is even worse, it's literally a huge maze of pure randomness. I have no idea how that game even got approved for release.
You say this, but you practically RAVE about a PLUMBER who fights giant humanoid TURTLES for STARS on a flipping DINOSAUR. Pure randomness sells. You're just delusional. xD

Some of these comments are hilarious!
Some of you support this slop, and others are pointing out the obvious! Emulators exists for a reason.

The way NSO releases games, people will never enjoy anything! Like I said in my last video, you get one life, play emulators.

By the time NSO puts out games, you'll be 103 talking about, I can finally play castevania or super mario 2...I'm like SMFH!!!

This is why they treat their fanbase the way they do, you guys accept whatever and then praise them for doing absolutely nothing.

- NSO letting you lick the plate of crumbs!
- While Emulator Users are getting buffets and eating good!

I'm not complaining about the randomness of npcs and objects in a vacuum, the level design in Bubsy 2 is a literal maze, the fact there's a lot of random disorienting shit on top of it is detrimental to how it functions. Use your fucking brain.
 
Makes no sense not to offer more Gamecube and N64 titles. Give people more incentve to upgrade to the Switch 2. Nintendo can be dumb sometimes.
 
*Jumps onto his batocera rig to change the Bubsy boxart to the SFC one* - Although on 2nd inspection, 50yo-but-still-a-child me has noticed Bubsy looks like he's just taken an invisible cock out of his mouth....

Mario & Wario not bad!! And better with mouse controls!
(Bubsy can fuck right off though... I remember it being bad on release, but playing it for my mum a couple of months back, fukkin hell fire! 2nd un though, like has been said, WTF was that... MD/Genesis version slightly (!!) more playable)
