A year of PlayStation Plus or Game Pass can cost you a triple-figure sum.
Yes, Nintendo Switch Online doesn’t provide access to new releases, but it’s perfect for those of us who love revisiting favourites of yesteryear.
The latest additions are all in the NES library, which is available to subscribers of the standard version of Nintendo Switch Online so without further ado, allow me to dive into the line-up.
ICYMI:The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomwill launch on Nintendo Switch on 26 September.
First up is 1984’sUrban Champion, a 1v1 fighting game that sees the player attempt to knock their opponent into a sewer manhole.

It’s a relatively simple premise but there’s a 99-second time limit and you only have 200 hit points, so throw your punches wisely.
1985’sGolfhas also been added, as has 1985’sMach Rider.
Golfis, you guessed it, a golf simulator and was the best-selling sports game on the original NES.

Mach Rideris a vehicular combat racing game that sees players, yes, race to the finish line. There’s not a fat lot more to this one.
1983’sDonkey Kong Junior Mathfeatures a familiar face, although it’s hardly the most thrilling entry in the Donkey Kong franchise.
It won’t surprise you to know that the game didn’t sell well.
