REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–On Feb. 17, visit worlds virtual, fantastic and oddly familiar when three Super NES(TM) games and one NES(TM) game join the Nintendo Switch Online service. This selection of unexpected, action-filled adventures will challenge you to summon whatever it takes to save the Earth, your prehistoric village, a magical island or someone lost in a terrifying virtual fantasy.
Available for the first time in the U.S., Psycho Dream is arriving to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System(TM) – Nintendo Switch Online library! Originally available on the Super Famicom(TM) system in Japan, Psycho Dream is a reality-bending action platformer that sends you into a virtual fantasy game to rescue a missing person.
Also joining the Super NES library are DOOMSDAY WARRIOR, an action game in which you alone stand against the powerful Doom Squad and their quest for world domination, and Prehistorik Man, a colorful action game that tasks you with saving your village from hungry, hungry dinosaurs.
Plus, Fire ‘n Ice, the magical, flame-fighting puzzler that lets you create cool puzzles of your own, will be arriving for the Nintendo Entertainment System(TM) – Nintendo Switch Online collection.
With these new additions, a Nintendo Switch Online membership will grant instant access to 99 classic games, with libraries that run the gamut of cult action hits, touchstone fan favorites and U.S. debuts of notable games from the classic era of gaming.
