Apr 15, 2024 12:36 PM

Nintendo Switch Online enhances its game library with the addition of three classic SNES titles, including Wrecking Crew '98, Amazing Hebereke, and the sci-fi shooter Super R-Type. These games enrich the service's offering, which already includes a variety of legendary games like F-Zero Maximum Velocity. Wrecking Crew '98, previously a Japan-exclusive, features Mario in a puzzle-action experience with 100 levels of demolition and strategy. Amazing Hebereke pits players against each other in both singleplayer and multiplayer battles, emphasizing power-ups and player traps. Lastly, Super R-Type invites players to blast through waves of mutated aliens from the nefarious BYDO Empire in side-scrolling shoot-'em-up action. The addition of these games continues Nintendo's strategy of making retro content available and accessible to a modern audience through their online service.

What new games are coming to Nintendo Switch Online?

Nintendo Switch Online welcomes three new SNES games to its collection: Wrecking Crew '98, Amazing Hebereke, and Super R-Type.

Super R-Type, originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1991, is the third game in the R-Type series, featuring the iconic space combat gameplay that helped define the side-scrolling shooter genre. As players tackle stages filled with various enemies and bosses, they can upgrade their ship with new weapons and power-ups, a hallmark of the series that has persisted through its various installments. This classic's inclusion in the Nintendo Switch Online library offers a nostalgic trip for fans and introduces new players to the challenging and engaging mechanics that have influenced many modern shooter titles.
