Earlier in September of this year, Nintendo finally announced that they would be adding a Super Nintendo app to their Nintendo Switch Online service; almost a whole year after the service had originally launched.
With the announcement, however, Nintendo also revealed that they were no longer going to be updating the NES and SNES library like they used to; this led some fans to believe that Nintendo would be releasing games at random, unspecified times.
Today Nintendo has released a brand-new trailer that shows off the 6 new titles that are being added to the Super Nintendo and Nintendo Entertainment System apps; four SNES and two NES titles for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers to enjoy.
Star Fox 2, which had never been officially released until Nintendo launched the SNES Mini console,
Kirby Super Star,
Super Punch-Out!!, and
Breath of Fire II are the four Super Nintendo titles being added in December, while the NES app is getting Crystalis and Journey to Silius; all of which will become available for susbcribers on the
12th of December.
Super NES™
Star Fox™ 2 – This 3D rail-shooter and second installment of the Star Fox series was first designed for the 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.
