A new Nintendo Switch Online update has been released via Switch and Switch Lite, adding not one, not two, not three, but four new free and retro games to the Nintendo Switch Online library. Of these four games, three of them are from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), while the fourth and final game is from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). All four games are free and permanent additions to the Nintnedo Switch Online library, which means subscribers can enjoy them as much as they like as long as they maintain an active subscription.

As for the games themselves, the most notable is one of the SNES titles, and that’s Donkey Kong Country 2. The other two SNES games are Mario’s Super Picross and The Peace Keepers. Meanwhile, the new NES game is S.C.A.T.: Special Cybernetic Attack Team.
As always, the only way to play any of these games is to be subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online, which runs at $20 a year. There’s no other way to currently play these games on Switch or Switch Lite.
