Nintendo has announced it will be updating the Nintendo Switch Online catalog for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite on September 23 with four new games, or more specifically, three new SNES games and one NES game. And to accompany this announcement, Nintendo has also released a new trailer highlighting all four games and the nostalgia that will be pumping through the veins of all subscribers come next week.

As always, all four of these games will be free to play as much as you want, as long as you have an active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. If you don't have a subscription, you can get one at any time and enjoy these games once added. However, if you let your subscription lapse, your access to these games will disappear.

As you may know, if you're a subscriber -- which costs $20 a year -- the service already has most of the NES games you'd want to play, so that's why most months Nintendo is adding more SNES and NES games.

Below, you read more about all four games, courtesy of Nintendo:
