Sega Genesis fans rejoice, because there’s new games from the Genesis era coming to Nintendo Switch Online. Drops like these are a call to retro fans who fondly remember the days of the 16-bit video game era.
And although not the first Genesis games to hit the Switch, they’re definitely worth looking at if you like retro titles. The four new games include The Revenge of Shinobi, Landstalker, Ghouls N’ Ghosts, and Crusader of Centy. All four classic titles present a slightly different playstyle but are also equally fun for those wanting a nostalgic trip back to the 90s.
The four new games are part of the June 2023 game updates for the Nintendo Switch online service. Players can also expect more classic games to be added in the future. Although it’s not clear what those games will be.
You’ll need to subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online to play these Sega Genesis games
You may have already suspected, but you’ll need a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. The good news is that you’ll get access to a lot more games the just these four if you pay the membership fee.
Unfortunately, there’s no option to pay for the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership on a monthly basis. Instead, you’ll need to pay the $49.99 annual fee. That’s not a bad deal if you like retro games and want access to online play. But it would certainly be more convenient if you could pay month by month should you decide to cancel at any point.
There’s also no free trial. So you’ll have to bite the bullet if you want to relive some of these retro titles. Or you can forgo the Expansion Pack and pay $3.99 a month, $7.99 for 3 months, or $19.99 annually and still get access to classic Nintendo games.
