Three more SEGA Genesis games just went live on Nintendo Switch Online with players now having access to Streets of Rage, ESWAT: City Under Siege, and Super Thunder Blade. All three can be accessed as part of the Expansion Pack tier.
Streets of Rage first came out in 1991. Super Thunder Blade is the earliest of the bunch having debuted in 1988 (1989 in the west) with ESWAT: City Under Siege seeing release in 1990.
With Nintendo Switch 2, some gamers were hoping that the system’s controllers would feature analog shoulder buttons. In the end though, Nintendo decided against including that functionality.
As part of a recent interview, we get to hear about what went into that decision. Kouichi Kawamoto, producer on Nintendo Switch 2 and technical director Tetsuya Sasaki weighed in here.
According to a statement from Nintendo, the company’s new Switch 2 Edition for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild won’t include the game’s Expansion Pass DLC. That additional content will be sold separately as was the case on Nintendo Switch and Wii U.
The game itself costs $70 on its own. If you’re interested in the Expansion Pass, that’ll cost another $20. For players looking to grab everything there is to offer, the whole thing will set them back $90.
Dear Villagers and Caracal Games have come through with a launch trailer for Star Overdrive. The title, an open-world action adventure experience, has players answering a distress signal to save their loved one.

The latest developments for Vampire Survivors were shared today, which include a crossover with Square Enix’s SaGa series, a new “Coop” update, and new adventures. Everything is releasing today for free.
Here’s the rundown of everything that’s new:
