Nintendo Switch Online Adds Some Classic Games From Rare
During today’s Nintendo Partner Showcase, which confirmed that former Xbox exclusives Grounded and Pentiment will launch on the Switch this year, the company also announced that five Rare classics are downloadable right now for folks with an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. It’s a blast from the past, y’all, as these games come from the NES, SNES, and N64 eras of gaming.
Nintendo Switch Online is the company’s subscription service that gives you access to online functionality and tons of OG Game Boy, Game Boy Color, NES, and SNES games for $4 a month or $20 a year. The Expansion Pack—which holds Game Boy Advance, Genesis, and N64 games—runs $50, but is only necessary for one of the five games on this list. So, let’s get into what’s on offer.
