Good things come in threes!
Good news everyone! Nintendo has remembered the Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online application still exists and this January, three new games have been added to the current line-up. With Super Ninja Boy, Fatal Fury 2, and Sutte Hakkun available now, here’s a quick reminder to what each game entails:
Super Ninja Boy (CultureBrain)
Released in: 1993
Number of Players: 2
Jack and Ryu set out on a grand adventure!
Trouble brews in the capital city of Yokan after the departure of the Universal Peace Mission’s space ship fleet, and it’s up to Jack and Ryu to stop it. In this 1993 adventure released for the Super NES™ console that combines RPG and action elements, fight powerful foes by grabbing items and deploying ninja actions like Throwing Stars or Moonsault Kicks. Play on your own or battle with a second player to access more ninja actions, like lifting each other up for a Tower Mega-Attack!
FATAL FURY 2 (TAKARA U.S.A. CORP)
Released in: 1994
Number of Players: 2
A new legend is about to begin…
In this fighting game, released for the Super NES™ console in 1994, the battle between the Bogard brothers and Geese Howard is history, and the ultimate fighting tournament, King of Fighters, has begun again. Every fighter has their own motivations for entering, as well as unique martial-arts skills from some corner of the world. This new tournament has new tactics to go along with it: the two-line battle system, which allows you to move between positions and knock your opponents across lines, and a system of devastating special moves that can only be used when a fighter’s strength has been damaged. It’s up to you to use the skills at your disposal to secure your place as King of Fighters!
Sutte Hakkun (Nintendo)
Released in: 1998
Number of Players: 1
Control Hakkun and collect rainbow shards across the island!
This action-puzzle game, originally released on rewritable game card via the Japanese Nintendo Power service in 1998, got its full release on the Super Famicom™ in 1999. You play as Hakkun, who wields the power to suck blocks up and spit them out to create paths. Use his power to collect the rainbow shards!
It may seem like a simple goal, but it’s up to you how to collect them. Hakkun can walk while he has a block in his mouth, allowing you to move blocks by spitting out them out in a different spot. Get creative with how you place blocks to create a route to the rainbow shards!
