Nintendo Adds Three New SNES Classics to Switch Online Library
Nintendo has announced the addition of three new Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) games to the Nintendo Switch Online service, expanding its growing library of retro classics for subscribers.
To access the new titles, players must update their Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Classics app to Version 5.1.0 via the Nintendo eShop.
New SNES Games Added to Nintendo Switch Online
1. Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (1993)
Play as Bubsy the bobcat in this quirky action-platformer as he sets out to recover his stolen yarn from the mischievous Woolies, a race of yarn-obsessed aliens. Featuring 16 expansive levels and more than 300 screens of gameplay, Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind delivers fast-paced platforming, colorful environments, and plenty of nostalgic charm for 16-bit fans.
2. Fatal Fury Special (1995)
The fan-favorite fighting game from SNK makes its way to Switch Online, bringing together 15 fighters, including returning characters like Terry Bogard, Geese Howard, and guest fighter Ryo Sakazaki from Art of Fighting. With enhanced mechanics, powerful finishers, and the franchise’s signature two-line battle system, Fatal Fury Special remains a defining title of the SNES fighting era.
3. Mario & Wario (1993)
Previously exclusive to Japan, Mario & Wario finally arrives for Western audiences. This unique action puzzle game sees Wario dropping a bucket on Mario’s head, forcing players — as the forest fairy Wanda — to guide Mario safely to Luigi across 100 levels of creative platforming challenges.
A compatible USB mouse is required to play this title, and players can adjust mouse speed in the in-game settings menu.
