Four Classic SEGA Genesis Games Make Their Way Onto The Nintendo Switch

As part of the new Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack update Nintendo announced earlier this year, we are getting more than just titles from the Nintendo 64. This expansion is also bringing over titles from the SEGA Genesis and four more of those games have just reached the game library! The games being added are:

  • Golden Axe II - set three years after the battle with the evil giant Death Adder. Now, the wicked emperor Dark Guld obtains the power of the legendary Golden Axe and leads a clan of demons to conquer the world.

  • Alien Storm - a vicious alien species invades Earth and it’s up to the fearless Alien Busters to stop them! Neutralize the alien threat, solo or with a friend, in this port of the fan-favorite arcade game from the team behind Golden Axe.

  • Columns - a captivating falling-piece puzzle game with glimmering jewels and soothing audio. Connect gems in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines to clear them and increase your score. Plus, you can play several different modes, including two-player Doubles and Flash Columns!

  • Virtua Fighter 2 - the 2D SEGA Genesis version of the popular 3D fighting game. Choose from a variety of fighters, including Akira, Jacky, Sarah, Jeffrey, and Wolf – each masters of styles like bajiquan, jeet kune do, pankration, and pro wrestling – and throw down to earn the title of the world’s greatest fighter.

The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership plan features all the same great benefits of a Nintendo Switch Online membership, but with access to a library of classic Nintendo 64 and SEGA Genesis games with added online play. If you already have this membership, these games and many more are available to play now in the SEGA Genesis – Nintendo Switch Online library.
