Killer Instinct, Battletoads and other Rare games are added to Nintendo Switch Online

As the collaboration between Microsoft and Nintendo tightens, others are also arriving 5 Rare games within the catalog of Nintendo Switch Onlineamong which we find classics such as Killer Instinct and Battletoads, from NES to Nintendo 64.

After seeing GoldenEye 007 arrive in remaster version in recent months, Rare returns to appear in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog with further games from its historical catalogue, which in fact indelibly marked the history of Nintendo consoles up to the Gamecube generation.

The new batch of Rare titles includes five games, all developed by the famous British team, which will join Nintendo Switch Online and Nintendo Switch Online + Add-on Pack today.

Classics from bygone eras

These are the Rare games arriving in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog:

• Killer Instinct – Super Nintendo
• Battletoads in Battlemaniacs – Super Nintendo
• Snake Rattle N Roll – NES
• RC PRO-AM – NES
• Blast Corps – Nintendo 64

Of the five, only the last one requires the subscription with Additional Package, being part of the Nintendo 64 catalogue, while for the others the basic Nintendo Switch Online subscription is sufficient.

These are titles from a rather distant past, in particular those of the NES, but they are still very interesting for rediscovering some titles from the period in which Rare was part of Nintendo.
