Nintendo held its Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase today, announcing several upcoming games for the Switch from its third-party partners. Near the end of the show, it revealed the launch of several retro Rare titles on its Nintendo Switch Online subscription service. All five games are available today for subscribers.
The titles include R.C. Pro-Am and Snake Rattle ‘n’ Roll for the NES, Killer Instinct and Battletoads in Battlemaniacs for the SNES, and Blast Corps for the Nintendo 64. According to the trailer, the first four games are accessible to all Switch Online subscribers, while Blast Corps is available to those with the more expensive Expansion Pack subscription.
While most of these games have previously launched on modern consoles, they are all new to the Switch. Four are currently available in the Rare Replay Collection (Battletoads in Battlemaniacs being the exception), which is accessible on Xbox.
