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.

Here’s a trailer promoting the announcement of latest SEGA Genesis releases on Switch:

Next up for the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is Banjo-Kazooie. Nintendo has confirmed that the game is going live in January 2022, though a specific date hasn’t been provided. It is not yet known when the SEGA Genesis app will be updated again.
