Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack: Four Classic Games Join the Roster

Battletoads/Double Dragon, Big Run, and More!

First up is the epic crossover, Battletoads/Double Dragon. This iconic title unites the brawling Battletoads and the martial arts prowess of the Double Dragon brothers in a fight against the Dark Queen and her Shadow Warriors. Choose from five playable characters: Billy and Jimmy Lee (Double Dragon) and Zitz, Pimple, and Rash (Battletoads).

Initially released on NES in June 1993 and later ported to SNES in December of the same year, this Battletoads/Double Dragon release marks its long-awaited return after decades.

Next, get ready for some dodgeball action in Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (known as Super Dodgeball in the West). Featuring Kunio-kun from the River City series, this game challenges you to dominate the dodgeball court against global rivals. Compete across diverse arenas, from indoor stadiums to outdoor beaches, each with unique challenges.

Originally launched on Super Famicom in August 1993.

Puzzle enthusiasts will appreciate Cosmo Gang the Puzzle. This strategic puzzle game, similar to Tetris and Puyo Puyo, requires you to clear lines of containers and Cosmos to score points. Three modes cater to different preferences:

• 1P Mode (single-player high score challenge)
• VS Mode (head-to-head competition)
• 100 Stage Mode (increasingly difficult puzzles)

Clear lines by aligning containers horizontally and utilize blue orbs to remove Cosmos.

Initially released in arcades in 1992, Cosmo Gang the Puzzle later appeared on Super Famicom, and has seen re-releases on various platforms, including the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

Finally, prepare for the high-octane racing of Big Run! Race across challenging African terrains, from Tripoli to West Africa's swamps, across nine intense stages. Success depends on speed, strategy, and resource management. Choose your sponsor wisely, build your team, and carefully manage your resources.

Big Run originally launched on Super Famicom in 1991.

This impressive September update significantly expands the Nintendo Switch Online library, offering something for every gamer, regardless of their preferred genre. Whether you enjoy beat 'em ups, racing, puzzles, or dodgeball, this update has something for you!
