Super Fantasy Zone Leads Three New Sega Genesis Games For Nintendo Switch Online
Super Fantasy Zone, Alien Soldier, and Light Crusader have been added to the Sega Genesis library of Nintendo Switch Online.
The games are available now for any users who have a Switch Online membership and its Expansion Pass, which adds access to N64 and Sega Genesis games.
Super Fantasy Zone is a shooter where players fight against the evil Dark Menon as they seek to avenge their father. IGN said a 2008 Virtual Console re-release was great, "as the game is both fun to play and fun to look at. Great music, great colour, great control."
Alien Soldier puts you in the shoes of, you guessed it, an alien soldier, who must defeat 25 bosses in this side scrolling action game. In an 8/10 Virtual Console review, IGN said "Alien Soldier is a long-lost piece of Treasure's action gaming legacy. It's got the fast-firing, high-energy, overly-explosive intensity that fans of the company have come to expect."
The third and final new Genesis game, Light Crusader, was given a 6/10 Virtual Console review by IGN. This action RPG "isn't lacking depth, and it's certainly home to a fair and playable isometric adventure," but it's just "a little bland overall".
There are now 23 Sega Genesis titles included in the Switch Online Expansion Pass, including classics such as Altered Beast, Castlevania: Bloodlines, and Golden Axe.
F-Zero X was added to its N64 collection earlier this month, joining The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and 11 other N64 games available on the platform.
The Expansion Pass also grants access to DLC for Nintendo titles including Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Happy Home Paradise and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass, which doubles the number of tracks eventually available in the game from 48 to 96.
