The Switch Online service welcomes Mega Drive and Nintendo classics

The last few days have been particularly busy for Switch Online + Additional Pack. Nintendo's online service has welcomed a number of classic games that will delight retrogaming fans.

The Game Boy was first honoured with the arrival of Donkey Kong Land, released in 1995. This title was a sequel adapted from Donkey Kong Country. A few days later, Nintendo followed up with Donkey Kong Land 2, originally released in 1996.

This week, it's the Mega Drive's turn to be highlighted with the addition of three classic titles, the full descriptions of which can be found below:


ToeJam & Earl Panic on Funkotron (1993)

‘The second instalment of the cult action-exploration game. Toejam and Earl have returned safely to their home planet, ‘Funkotron’, but now find themselves invaded by humans! Use the magic bottle to capture the humans running around this peaceful planet as if they owned it, and send them on their way. You'll quit the game if you find all the humans and force them back to the objective. It's an exploration-based side-view action adventure with fun characters that are now more expressive’.

Vectorman (1995)

‘A robot action game with fluid movement. A rebellion of the planet's cleaning robots has brought all the robots on Earth under its control. Vectorman, humanity's last hope, embarks on a great adventure across mechanised Earth.’

Wolf of the Battlefield: Mercs (1991)

‘This is the second instalment in the popular series of action-shooter games that was well received in the arcades. You play as the American mercenary unit ‘Wolf Force’ and try to defeat the boss while taking out swarms of enemies. You can use a wide variety of weapons such as shotguns and burners, the familiar mega crash, and a variety of actions such as moving and attacking vehicles. In addition to the ‘Arcade Mode’ with 7 missions in which you rescue the former president who has been captured by the revolutionary forces of Country R, the game also includes the ‘Original Mode’ with 8 missions in which you fight using 5 soldiers with different attack capabilities to destroy a ballistic missile. So you can enjoy two different games.


To access all of these games, you must subscribe to the Switch Online + Additional Pack service.
