Nintendo adds seven extra free games including a classic Donkey Kong title
NINTENDO’S subscription service is one of the best in terms of value for money.
Not only is it by far the cheapest, but it has a wide library of over 260 games, including popular series like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon.
Nintendo Switch Online also doesn’t remove games from the service, and instead adds more titles all the time.
This month, Nintendo is adding seven new games to its cheapest tier, Nintendo Switch Online.
All seven games were originally released for Nintendo’s first home console, the NES.
The first one is Urban Champion, an old-school 2D fighting game, where you have to hit your opponent down a manhole before the timer runs out.
Golf is the next game added to the service, which like the title suggests is an early golf simulator.
Another game added to the list is Donkey Kong Jr. Math, a take on the arcade classic Donkey Kong Jr. where you have to solve puzzles as you dodge and climb.
Mach Rider has also been added to the library, which is a racing game with vehicular combat similar to the WipeOut series.
Next up is The Mystery of Atlantis, a game that is available in the West for the first time.
It’s a side-scrolling 2D platformer, where you have to save your master who is being held captive.
Solar Jetman has also been added, and is a multidirectional space shooter, similar to Asteroids, that was developed by Rare.
The final game that has been added is Cobra Triangle, another game developed by Rare that is based around racing speedboats.
If you are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online and you want to play all of these games, you need to head on over to the Nintendo eShop.
From here you can download the NES app for free, and then choose the game you want to play.
