Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will get new NES and SNES games later this December



The wait is over, when it comes to new NES and SNES titles, for those that pay for Nintendo Switch Online. Nintendo will be bringing more retro games to its service, after previously adding a collection of Super Nintendo games back in September. These new additions include four SNES games, and two NES, which are listed below.

  • Star Fox 2
  • Super Punch Out!
  • Kirby Super Star
  • Breath of Fire II
  • Crystalis
  • Journey to Silius
Super NES
  • Star Fox 2 – This 3D rail-shooter and second installment of the Star Fox series was first designed for Super NES, but went unreleased until it appeared on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system in 2017. This time, Emperor Andross is on a crusade to conquer the Lylat system and the Star Fox team itself. After a long wait, Star Fox is back in action.
  • Super Punch-Out!! – Featuring the tight gameplay and humor the series is known for, this sequel to the NES classic sees Little Mac return to the ring with the World Video Boxing Association belt once again at stake.
  • Kirby Super Star – That awful King Dedede is at it again – he’s stolen all the food in Dream Land. It’s up to Kirby to get it back and ultimately save Popstar from being taken over. There’s never a dull moment as Kirby dashes, flies and fights!
  • Breath of Fire II – Set 500 years after the original, take on the role of Ryu, the last member of the Dragon Clan. A cast of unusual and exciting companions join you in your adventures across a wondrous land full of magic and mystery.
NES
  • Crystalis – An epic story for action-RPG fans is ready to unfold. Set in a world where civilization lies in ruins, the young protagonist awakes from cryogenic sleep and the adventure begins. Collect the Sword of Wind and venture into the unknown.
  • Journey to Silius – Join Jay on his run-and-gun mission to take down the mechanical army responsible for his father’s death. Defeat endless waves of attack robots and fulfill his father’s dream of developing a space colony in the Silius Solar System.

The most notable addition in this lineup is Star Fox 2, which was previously exclusive to the SNES Classic. All six of these games will be made available for the Nintendo Switch on December 12th.

I didn't bother re-upping account after my first yr expired and this news won't change my mind. I tried to support the service but Nintendo is losing my support for NSO with every lame announcement

I'm glad that we could have this insightful conversation about what is and is not an exclusive. Now, I know that each of the participants would very much like to have the final word, but I'm afraid that this privilege belongs to me - argument over. The thread's been cleaned up, and I'd like it to stay that way going forward.

Doesn't matter how old-for some older the better as they've prob never heard of them so it's a new game
Objectively old.

But yeah, i agree. Some games (most of them) are new to me also. Fun little games to play.
Imo they should make more of them, regardless of age and technology...if anything, its way easier to make such games today than it was in a past! :)

Kirby Super Star is Great! Kirby Games are the best to play with my Girlfriend
Kirby suck!

That's basically renting.

You mean for 20 bucks a year :v
Yeahh... aren't they sweet? just like Kirby! :)

Nintendo's new business model is so spiritual:
"you don't own anything"
"The world (Nintendo) owns you"
"Do not attach to material world."
"To be enlightened empty your...pockets"

the only thing I use the online service for is uploading saves to cloud. however, it pisses me off that some games (i.e. pokemon) are not compatible. I understand that it's to prevent cheating, but couldn't nintendo have found a better way?
