Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Adds Four Nostalgic GamesBattletoads/Double Dragon, Big Run, and More!

Get ready for a blast from the past! Nintendo has announced a quartet of SNES titles from the early '90s that will be joining the Nintendo Switch Online library. These exciting additions bring beat-em-up action, high-octane racing, mind-bending puzzles, and a dodgeball competition to the ever-expanding library of classic games available to subscribers.

First up, we have the legendary beat-em-up duo, Battletoads and the Double Dragon. This team-up game sees the brawling Battletoads and the martial arts masters, the Double Dragon brothers, joining forces to take down the evil Dark Queen and the Shadow Warriors. The game features a roster of five playable characters, including the martial arts duo Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon and the amphibian trio Zitz, Pimple, and Rash from Battletoads.

Battletoads/Double Dragon was originally released for the NES in June of 1993 before being ported to the Super NES in December of the same year. Its appearance in the Nintendo Switch Online library will be its first re-release after decades.

Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō!, also known as Super Dodgeball in North America and Europe, is a dodgeball game featuring Kunio-kun from the River City series. Here, you will have to dominate the dodgeball arena as you compete against rival teams from around the globe. The game features various courts, including indoor stadiums and outdoor beaches, each with its own hidden gimmicks to overcome.

The game was originally released for the Super Famicom on August 1993.

⚫︎ 1P Mode, where you'll challenge yourself to achieve the highest score.
⚫︎ VS Mode, where you'll battle friends in head-to-head matches.
⚫︎ 100 Stage Mode, where you'll tackle increasingly difficult puzzles to test your abilities.

To clear lines, line up the containers horizontally. Furthermore, watch for the blue orbs that descend from the top; you'll need them to remove Cosmos.

Originally released for arcades in 1992, Cosmo Gang the Puzzle made its way to the Super Famicom a year later. The game has since been re-released on various platforms, including the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console, and most recently, the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 through the Arcade Archive series.

Buckle up for Big Run! Race across the unforgiving African terrain, from the cosmopolitan landscape of Tripoli to the swampy regions of West Africa. In nine grueling stages, you'll race against the clock and your rivals, pushing your vehicle to its limits. But the journey is more than just speed; it's about strategy and survival. Choose your sponsor wisely, assemble your dream team, and manage your resources carefully. Every blown tire and damaged engine is a gamble against time.

Big Run was initially released for the Super Famicom in 1991.

With this exciting lineup of titles, the Nintendo Switch Online continues to expand. Whether you're a fan of beat-em-ups, racing games, puzzles, and wacky dodgeballs, there's something for everyone in this upcoming September update!
