Nintendo Switch Online is getting new SNES content

Nintendo has just announced a new wave of classic SNES games that are joining the Nintendo Switch Online retro catalog, all of them available today!

Update:
Nintendo Switch Online is getting new SNES content

The Super Nintendo retro library available for all Nintendo Switch Online subscribers just got a little bit bigger today, as Nintendo has revealed three new classic titles that have joined the service.

This time around, the line-up of new offerings includes two fantastic titles from the SNES, as well as the western debut of a Super Famicom Japan-exclusive: Amazing Hebereke. Take a look at what each of them is about below.

Wrecking Crew ‘98

Mario picks up his Wrecking Crew hammer in this action puzzler previously only available in Japan. In this game you can play either the original Wrecking Crew or the updated Wrecking Crew ‘98, each version featuring its own challenges to puzzle through. Wreck your way across 100 stages as Mario in Wrecking Crew and dodge enemies while knocking down walls and ladders. Then out-wreck the competition in Wrecking Crew ‘98 by destroying and arranging panels to line up matching colors. Clear four or more panels at once to launch an attack on your opponent – the more panels you clear, the more powerful your attack! Do you have what it takes to bring the hammer down and claim victory?

Amazing Hebereke

Developed by SUNSOFT and originally released for the Super Famicom system in 1994, Amazing Hebereke is about to make its U.S. debut! Engage in cute and chaotic battles in single-player mode or with up to four players** in VS. mode. Select your character, then tussle on stages littered with items and traps to make use of (or fall victim to)! Unleash your character’s special attack and try to be the last one standing.

SUPER R-TYPE

A galactic battle begins! The evil BYDO Empire of mutant extraterrestrials is back and poised to launch a new attack on Earth. Only the revolutionary R-9, the planet’s most advanced form of defense, stands between it and certain doom. Fight through seven challenging stages against foes with advanced fire power – picking up power-up items as you progress – before taking on powerful level bosses. You’ll need lightning reflexes and a big dose of cosmic luck to hold your own. Luckily, several difficulty options are available to adjust the experience, from NOVICE all the way up to the ultimate challenge of PRO mode. “R” you ready to battle across the vast frontiers of space?

At the same time, the Japan version of the service also got an upgrade with 4 titles instead of three, although two of them are repeats of the US service. Aside from Super T-Type and Wrecking Crew ‘98, the Japanese service is getting Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (which was already available for us) and Marvelous: Mōhitotsu no Takarajima (Marvelous: Another Treasure Island, an Eiji Aonuma classic that has never been released in the West).
