Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can now play the best titles from the NES and SNES on their Nintendo Switch with the " Family Computer & Super Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Switch Online " service.
Last year, " Shin Megami Tensei II " and " Mario 's Super Picross" were added to the service, and many of you may have been able to play them for a long time.
I myself once spent an entire weekend playing "Mario's Super Picross. Picross is addictive.
However, the last time a new title was added was three months ago, on February 17, 2021, so there has been enough time to complete the game, even if it is a very large title.
Just when you thought it was about time... it was announced that new game titles would be added!
メガテンⅡが来る!「ファミリーコンピュータ&スーパーファミコン Nintendo Switch Online」2021年最初の追加タイトル発表!
Five additional titles, four for the SNES and one for the NES!
The total of five new titles for May 2021 will be four from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) andone from the Famicom (NES).
Some of the titles are related to titles already available on the "Family Computer & Super Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Switch Online", so those who want to play the series will be especially happy!
JOE&MAC: Fighting Primitives
Released by Data East in 1991, this is a classic action game from the early days of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
In fact, the third title in the series, "JOE&MAC Senoe Genbijin 3 " has already been released, but "JOE&MAC Senoe Genbijin" is the first title in the series to be released this time.
JOE and MAC, who boast of their strength, set out on a journey to rescue the kidnapped daughters of their village.
They must use a variety of weapons to defeat a wide range of primitive enemies, including different species and dinosaurs!
The game can be played in 2-player co-op with JOE as the 1st player and MAC as the 2nd player, but there is also a "2-player super game" where players can attack each other.
The difficulty level to clear the game is also exquisitely balanced, so even those who are not good at action games should give this game a try!
Showdown! Brass Numbers
This fighting game was released in 1992 by Nippon Telenet's Laser Soft brand.
The angel has reformed six of the seven "Brass Numbers," but the last one continues to resist.
The six reformed former comrades stand in the way of defeating the remaining one!
In the one-player mode, you can develop your character and use him or her in the "VS MODE" to enjoy a different kind of play.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
This is the fourth title released in 1996 in the popular "Fire Emblem" series that continues to this day.
Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Crest " has already been distributed, and this is the next title in the series.
It is a masterpiece title that has created systems that have been inherited by later titles in the series, such as the skill system introduced in this title, and the three-way system of weapons and magic.
It takes quite a while to clear a single map, so I recommend you take your time!
Magical Drop 2
This action puzzle game by Data East was released in arcades in 1996 and on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in the same year.
I have fond memories of playing this game like crazy at an arcade cabinet in a candy store in the countryside.
Unlike typical falling objects puzzle games, in this game, the object is to erase three or more drops of the same color in a row by picking up or throwing back drops that come at you from above and arranging them vertically.
It is a simple game, but it requires a lot of thinking because there are special balls that erase all drops of the same color at once, and there are drops that are in the way, so it is not a simple game.
The pop-up characters based on tarot card motifs are unique and have different performances, so you can use a variety of characters!
Ninja Jajamaru-kun
JALECO's classic action game from the early days of the Famicom (NES), released in 1985, is finally here!
Ninja Jajamaru-kun" is one of the most popular retro game titles, so even if you've never played it, you're probably familiar with it.
In this game, you must rescue Princess Sakura, who has been kidnapped by the traitor Namazu Tayu, by using shurikens and body blows in a total of 21 stages.
The highlight of the game is the flashy appearance of " Pacun," a giant frog that appears when certain conditions are met!
The distribution will start on May 26th!
The five titles announced this time will be released on May 26, 2021 (Wednesday)!
The "Plus Challenge" will introduce useful techniques for the new titles.
JOE&MAC: "2P SUPER GAME" is the basic mode for 2 players in "JOE&MAC: Fighting Cavemen", so please try to play it with "2P SUPER GAME"!
But please be careful not to get into a real fight.
The "Family Computer & Super Nintendo Entertainment System Nintendo Switch Online" service is available only to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, so if you are not a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber, take this opportunity to join and play all the classic titles!
