"There continues to be no real discernible rhyme or reason to the way Nintendo distributes games on Nintendo Switch Online, but its latest drop brings some notable additions to the library for retro gaming fans. The NES and Game Boy apps both of which are available to all NSO subscribers have each got a pair of new games in the late-November update, and they're all from well-known franchises."
"The most significant of the four is probably Battletoads. Rare's platforming beat em up was a NES exclusive when it launched in 1991, before being ported to other platforms later on. It's notorious for its extremely high difficulty, but with the NES emulator on the Switch allowing you to rewind any time you mess up, perhaps a few more people will see the game through now."
Nintendo Switch Online added two NES games and two Game Boy games in a late-November update, available to all subscribers. The NES additions are Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos and Battletoads. The Game Boy additions are Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and Bionic Commando. Battletoads remains notoriously difficult, but the Switch's NES emulator rewind feature may make it more accessible. The Game Boy Bionic Commando adapts the NES original with a different setting while retaining the bionic arm grappling and weapon mechanics. The update also adds remappable buttons and a Game Boy boot-screen Easter egg.
