Three New Games Have Been Added to Switch Online
April 9, 2026 - 13:23
Subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online service have received a fresh infusion of classic titles this month. The latest update adds three vintage games to the ever-growing library, offering a mix of familiar and more obscure retro experiences.
The new additions include two titles from the NES era: "Racket Attack," a straightforward and challenging tennis game, and "Bump 'n' Jump," a unique arcade-style racer where players can leap over and land on opponents' vehicles. Rounding out the trio is "Nazo no Murasame-jō," a Famicom title previously unreleased outside of Japan. This action-adventure game, often compared to "The Legend of Zelda" but with a faster-paced, combat-focused approach, is now accessible to a global audience for the first time.
This regular addition of classic games continues to be a core pillar of the Switch Online service, providing both nostalgia for long-time fans and a slice of gaming history for newer players. The titles are available immediately to all subscribers with access to the NES and Famicom apps.
