It's not often that Nintendo updates the NES and SNES applications for Nintendo Switch Online, but when it does, it usually ensures that we get at least a handful of new titles to play.

And that's exactly what's happening on 20th May, 2020 because Nintendo Switch Online subscribers are being granted access to a whole four new titles, which comprises of three SNES games plus a lone NES title.

The NES application will be updated to version 4.3.0(?) and will include the following game...

Rygar – An old legend proclaimed, “When the peaceful land is covered with evil spirits, a brave soldier will be brought to life from the dead.” Luckily, Rygar, the mythical hero from Argus, has arrived in order to defeat the evil king Ligar and his army of dangerous beasts. Join forces with Rygar for a hybrid action-adventure game with a distinct blend of platforming and role-playing elements!

While the SNES application will be updated to version 1.3.0(?) and will include the following games...

Wild Guns – The Kid gang and their army of robots have taken over! Blast your way through villainous outlaws, diabolical robots and towering, screen-filling bosses. Fortunately, you’ve got plenty of moves to help you survive the firepower headed your way. You’ll need a sharp eye and quick-on-the-draw reflexes to survive on your own. Or team up with a friend and go out blazing in two-player co-op.

Panel de Pon – As the stack of puzzle pieces rises, think fast to match panels and set off cascading chain reactions and combos. You’ll have to make strategic choices quickly to counteract the relentless competitor attacks from above. A selection of single-player and two-player modes and options provides escalating action and zippy fun. This title originally launched for the Super Famicom in 1995, but this is the first time this version of the game will be available in the U.S. Though this title was never translated into English, it may seem familiar!

Operation Logic Bomb – Agent Logan has been fitted with bioelectronic implants that grant him superior strength, reflexes and analytical abilities. He’s been charged with a mission to save the Subspace Particle Transfer Project. Now it’s up to him to infiltrate, neutralize the intruders and rescue the scientists in a top-down shooter with giant bosses and frenzied action that doesn’t let up.

A reasonable selection, especially given that it seems to be a mostly even split between the titles, as at least two of them have appeared on the Virtual Console before in the past but it would seem that Operation Logic Bomb at the very least is a title which many Switch owners probably won't have seen before and Panel de Pon is a very welcome addition as it's a fantastic Puzzle game; while the original Wild Guns is always worth taking for a spin despite a modern remake already existing on the console and Rygar is a classic NES game which shows its age in places but it still very much playable.

Are any of these titles of interest to you? Will you be trying out at least one of them? Or were you hoping that other titles which aren't on the service yet, might have been added by now?
