Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack: September 2024 Lineup Revealed

Nintendo's September 2024 Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack update delivers a fantastic retro gaming experience with four classic titles. Dive into the details below.

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

Action, Racing, Puzzles, and Dodgeball!

Prepare for a nostalgic trip back to the early 90s! Nintendo has unveiled four SNES games offering diverse gameplay, from intense beat-em-up action to strategic puzzle-solving and high-octane racing. This expansion significantly enhances the already impressive library of classic games available to subscribers.

First up: the epic crossover, Battletoads/Double Dragon. This iconic beat-em-up unites the brawling Battletoads and 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).

Originally released on NES in June 1993 and ported to SNES in December of the same year, this marks a long-awaited re-release for many.

Next, get ready for some dodgeball mayhem with Kunio-kun no Dodgeball da yo Zen’in Shūgō! (known as Super Dodgeball in the West). This game features Kunio-kun from the River City series and challenges you to dominate the dodgeball court against global rivals. Various indoor and outdoor arenas, each with unique challenges, await.

Initially launched for the Super Famicom in August 1993.

Puzzle enthusiasts will appreciate Cosmo Gang the Puzzle. This Tetris and Puyo Puyo-inspired game requires strategic thinking to clear lines of containers and Cosmos. Three modes are available: 1P Mode (solo high score challenge), VS Mode (head-to-head competition), and 100 Stage Mode (increasingly difficult puzzles). Line up containers horizontally and utilize blue orbs to remove Cosmos.

Initially released in arcades in 1992, it later appeared on Super Famicom, various Virtual Consoles, and more recently on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.

Finally, experience the thrill of Big Run, a racing game set across diverse African landscapes. Nine challenging stages test your driving skills, strategic thinking, and resource management. Choose your sponsor, build your team, and manage your vehicle's condition – every damaged part is a risk against the clock.

Big Run first launched on the Super Famicom in 1991.

This September's update offers a fantastic variety of gameplay experiences. Whether you prefer beat-em-ups, racing, puzzles, or dodgeball, this Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack update has something for everyone!
