For the first time in a long time…
With a new update available now for the SEGA Genesis / SEGA Mega Cast – Nintendo Switch Online application, version 3.0.0 adds ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, VectorMan and WOLF OF THE BATTLEFIELD: MERCS to its already impressive line-up of titles. For a quick reminder of what each new game entails, we’ve got you covered with the following NSO provided game descriptions:
ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron (SEGA)
Released in: 1993
Number of Players: 2
In the second of the eponymous cult-classic exploration series, ToeJam and Earl have successfully returned to their home planet, Funkotron, but now they’re being invaded by not-so-groovy Earthlings! They’re running around your planet like they own the place, so catch them and send them back!
You have to find all the Earthlings and send them back once you reach the goal. There’s no shortage of funkiness as you explore the action-packed side-scrolling stages with the iconic duo.
VectorMan (SEGA)
Released in: 1995
Number of Players: 1
Play as the robot Vectorman in this action game with must-see fluid animations. The Orbots, Earth’s environmental cleanup drones, have rebelled. Vectorman is humanity’s last hope to stop the robot revolution.
WOLF OF THE BATTLEFIELD: MERCS (CAPCOM)
Released in: 1991
Number of Players: 1
In the second installment of the highly popular arcade action shooter series, players take on the role of the United States mercenary unit MERCS as they defeat swarms of enemies and make their way to the boss. In addition to the seven-mission Arcade Mode where you must rescue the former president of the United States from the clutches of revolutionary forces, you can also play through the eight-mission Original Mode and eliminate the ballistic missile using five different soldiers with unique abilities. Two stories in one game!
