Four more titles have been added to the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis library on Nintendo Switch Online.
The newest additions to the service, which are shown in the trailer below, are Street Fighter II’: Special Champion Edition, Pulseman, Kid Chameleon and Flicky.
Street Fighter II’: Special Champion Edition was the first Street Fighter game released on a Sega console, and came around a year after Street Fighter II was released on the SNES.
The game mixes Street Fighter II: Champion Edition and Street Fighter II’ Turbo, giving players the option to play as the four boss fighters as well as change the game speed. The game’s release was so important to Sega that it developed the Mega Drive 6-button controller specifically for it.
Pulseman is an action platformer that was developed by Game Freak, and was the last game it released before it started the Pokémon series. The game was only released physically in Japan, and was briefly available in North America through its Sega Channel online game service.
Because it wasn’t physically released in the west and because it was developed by Game Freak, legit copies of the Japanese version of Pulseman sell on eBay for hundreds of dollars.
Kid Chameleon is a platformer about a boy who enters a hologram arcade game called Wild Side to defeat its boss and rescue his friends who are trapped in its world.
The game’s main gimmick is the ability to put on nine different masks, each of which gives the protagonist a different ability.
