Nintendo Switch Online adds Alien Storm, Columns, Golden Axe II, and Virtua Fighter 2

Once again, four SEGA Genesis^™ games have arisen and thrown themselves into battle. If you’ve long had a desire to grapple with these touted champions, you’re in luck, because today these games are front suplexing onto the SEGA Genesis – Nintendo Switch Online library! Bolt, strike, puzzle and rumble your way to victory in Golden Axe II, Alien Storm, Columns and Virtua Fighter 2 – and play them all right now on the Nintendo Switch^™ system with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

If you enjoy Golden Axe II and have an itch for more sword-and-sandal battles, check out the inaugural action brawls against the evil Death Adder in the first Golden Axe game. Or if tactical-RPGs in historical dungarees are more your speed, the first two Shining Force games might be right up your alley. These games and many more are available to play now in the SEGA Genesis – Nintendo Switch Online library!

The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership plan features all the same great benefits of a Nintendo Switch Online membership, but with access to a library of classic Nintendo 64^™ and SEGA Genesis games with added online play. A paid Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership also grants access to the Animal Crossing^™: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise, Mario Kart^™ 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass and Splatoon^™ 2: Octo Expansion DLC* at no extra cost.
