In the last few months, the Nintendo Switch online service has been enriched with the additional pack offering, which offers games from the Nintendo 64 catalog, but also from the previously neglected Mega Drive.
It’s even better if you don’t expect it: while the limelight so far has mostly focused on the arrival of games that were previously available on Nintendo 64, we already know that Banjo-Kazooie will follow suit at Paper Mario in January 2022. But today, SEGA’s 16-bit console is in the spotlight, there Five new games are being added to the Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack subscription today:

A variety is provided, because retro-loving players can enjoy a multidirectional shoot’em-up with Thunder Force II, an amazing adventure game with the very funky ToeJam & Earl, an action RPG with Sword of Vermillion, an arcade classic Altered Beast and finally a colorful platformer with Dynamite Headdy.
The arrival of the latter also reminds us that the legendary studio Treasure recently suggested that other games in its catalog could highlight the updates to the new version of Nintendo Switch Online. The Japanese were present from the start, as the offer began with the legendary Run and Gun Gunstar Heroes or the 3D Sin and Punishment Shoot’em Up.

If these five Mega Drive games are available today, very smart who can tell when the next update will arrive. It’s been two years since Nintendo made the decision to stop offering new titles every month and opt for a schedule that was as unpredictable as it was random. Please let us know your wildest wishes in the comments below.
But because life is sometimes well done, retro gamers can still enjoy a free seven-day trial of Nintendo Switch Online … even if that offer doesn’t include the add-on package. This is a pity !
