Nintendo Switch Online Subscribers to Get 5 More Games Bringing Total to Over 100
Starting on May 26, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will gain access to five more games which brings the grand total of classic games available up to 104! That’s an impressive milestone. Sadly, the new games do not include Earthbound like many fans continue to hope. Instead, the NES title Ninja JaJaMaru-kun will become available. This title was originally only released in Japan so that’s cool.
Ninja JaJaMaru-kun
Take on the role of a ninja and rescue the captured Princess Sakura in this action-packed game, originally released only in Japan. JaJaMaru must use his throwing stars to defeat lurking monsters. Keep an eye out for the ultimate power-up – a ride on Gamapa-kun, the giant frog!
Meanwhile, the SNES will be getting Caveman Ninja which many might know as Joe & Mac, Magical Drop2, Super Baseball Simulator 1.000, and Spanky’s Quest.
Caveman Ninja (also known as Joe & Mac)
Can cave-dudes Joe and Mac rescue the lost cave-dudettes? In this action game from 1991, life was pretty cool for Joe and Mac until a bunch of Neanderthal nerds crashed their village. The dudes will have to leap to the rescue and jump, dash and use roll attacks to get past the stone-age obstacles in their way. Just make sure to pick the best weapon for the situation, and the boys are sure to make it through!
Magical Drop2
This puzzle game launched on the Super Famicom™ system in 1996, but it never saw an English release. But even if you've never played, the rules are simple to learn. Catch and throw the drops that descend from overhead. Create vertical lines of three drops of the same color to clear all the connected drops. Enjoy four playable modes, including a mode that assigns you a rank when the game ends, as well as a story mode with 10 characters to play!
Super Baseball Simulator 1.000
Get ready for high intensity, superhuman baseball spectacles! Use Ultra Plays like Phantom Ball, which will make the ball vanish mid-pitch, or Meteor Hit, which will knock out fielders who make contact with the ball before it bounces. With multiplayer options, a grand total of 18 baseball teams and the ability to create your own original team, this is the wacky baseball simulation dreams are made of!
Spanky’s Quest
Spanky was on his way to a picnic when the witch Morticia began dropping bricks from the sky. Trapped, with six towers now built across the land, Spanky must clear each before the witch’s evil pet crow catches him. He’ll have to use his magic ball to stun enemies, bounce it off his head to power it up and pop it to attack – and try on some hats along the way.
What title are you most excited to play? What games do you wish they would add to the service? Do you think we’ll get an N64 announcement at E3?
