Beat 'em Ups, Racing, Puzzles, and Dodgeball!

Prepare for a nostalgic journey back to the early 1990s! Nintendo is adding four SNES games that deliver a blend of genres, including intense beat 'em up action, thrilling racing, challenging puzzles, and a unique dodgeball competition.

First, the iconic crossover title, Battletoads/Double Dragon, unites the brawling Battletoads and the Double Dragon brothers in a fight against the Dark Queen and her Shadow Warriors. Players can choose from five characters: Billy and Jimmy Lee (Double Dragon) and Zitz, Pimple, and Rash (Battletoads). Originally released on NES in 1993 and later ported to SNES, this marks a long-awaited re-release.

Next, Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (known as Super Dodgeball in the West) brings the River City Ransom star, Kunio-kun, to a dodgeball showdown. Compete against global rivals in diverse arenas, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches, each with unique challenges. Originally released on Super Famicom in August 1993.

Puzzle enthusiasts will appreciate Cosmo Gang the Puzzle, a strategic puzzle game reminiscent of Tetris and Puyo Puyo. Clear lines of containers and Cosmos to score points. Three modes are available: 1P Mode (solo), VS Mode (head-to-head), and 100 Stage Mode (increasing difficulty). Originally released in arcades in 1992, then ported to Super Famicom. It has seen previous releases on Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

Finally, experience the high-octane racing of Big Run. Race across diverse African landscapes, from Tripoli to West Africa's swamps, in nine challenging stages. Strategic choices are key – choose your sponsor wisely, manage resources, and outmaneuver your opponents. Originally launched on Super Famicom in 1991.

This September's update significantly expands the Nintendo Switch Online library, offering a fantastic selection of games for players of all tastes. Whether you enjoy brawling, racing, puzzles, or dodgeball, this update has something for you!
