A few days ago, Nintendo’s own website appeared to leak the lineup of games being added to Switch Online for the month of May. Donkey Kong Jr., VS. Excitebike, and Clu Clu Land were all listed as upcoming titles. Nintendo has now confirmed the news officially.
Donkey Kong Jr., VS. Excitebike, and Clu Clu are indeed this month’s NES releases. All three are slated for May 15.
Here’s an introduction to each game:
Nintendo has announced the latest Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Board event. This week, the theme is “Mum’s the Word!”, in which motherly spirits will be appearing. Battles won while the event is active will provide you with a Health Drain item and triple the SP you’d normally receive.
The latest Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Board event should kick off on Friday. Like past events, look for it to last a few days.
