While it seems that Nintendo have chosen to be sporadic with their release schedule for their Nintendo Switch Online NES and SNES applications, it's always nice to hear about new waves of games being added for Switch owners with an online subscription to enjoy.

The NES application has now been updated to version 4.1.0 and includes the following games...

Crystalis – An epic story for action-RPG fans is ready to unfold. Set in a world where civilization lies in ruins, the young protagonist awakes from cryogenic sleep and the adventure begins. Collect the Sword of Wind and venture into the unknown.

Journey to Silius – Join Jay on his run-and-gun mission to take down the mechanical army responsible for his father’s death. Defeat endless waves of attack robots and fulfill his father’s dream of developing a space colony in the Silius Solar System.

While the SNES application has now been updated to version 1.1.0 and includes the following titles...

Star Fox 2 – This 3D rail-shooter and second installment of the Star Fox series was first designed for Super NES, but went unreleased until it appeared on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system in 2017. This time, Emperor Andross is on a crusade to conquer the Lylat system and the Star Fox team itself. After a long wait, Star Fox is back in action.

Super Punch-Out!! – Featuring the tight gameplay and humor the series is known for, this sequel to the NES classic sees Little Mac return to the ring with the World Video Boxing Association belt once again at stake.

Kirby Super Star – That awful King Dedede is at it again – he’s stolen all the food in Dream Land. It’s up to Kirby to get it back and ultimately save Popstar from being taken over. There’s never a dull moment as Kirby dashes, flies and fights!

Breath of Fire II – Set 500 years after the original, take on the role of Ryu, the last member of the Dragon Clan. A cast of unusual and exciting companions join you in your adventures across a wondrous land full of magic and mystery.

Quite a decent selection overall, especially as this marks the first time that Nintendo have made Star Fox 2 available on a device other than the SNES Classic Mini which the game launched on.

Will you be trying out any of these titles? Or have you seen or played them all before? Are the free games which Nintendo offers as part of its online service of particular value to you as part of the overall package?
