Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
The SEGA Genesis Nintendo Switch Online app has just updated with five new games. Players can access Altered Beast, ToeJam & Earl, Dynamite Headdy, Sword of Vermilion, and Thunder Force II. Note that an active Expansion Pack subscription is needed – these games are not offered in the base Switch Online membership.
Nintendo typically announces new games in advance for Switch Online, so this news certainly comes as a surprise. Paper Mario was confirmed for the N64 side of things on December 2 before going live on December 10. This is also the first time that the SEGA Genesis Switch Online app has received new titles.
