The four new games have been added to the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service.

They are all at the lower tier of subscription and don’t require the Expansion Pack in order to play them.

Firstly we have Kirby’s Star Stacker which was originally released on Game Boy, but received a remake in Japan for the SNES.

It’s the first time that this remake has been released in the West, and has notable improvements over the original game. 

Star Stacker is a puzzle game, where you collect stars from falling blocks by matching together Kirby’s friends Rick, Coo, and Kine.

Next up is Joy Mech Fight, another Japanese game appearing for the first time in the West.

One of the last games released for the NES, Joy Mech Fight, a 2D fighting game with a single-player story mode, and multiplayer local battles.

The third game from this batch of new additions, will be a familiar name to many gamers of a certain age.

Following on the story of River City Ransom, Super Awesome Field Day! is a spin-off game for the NES that also never made it to the West.

Up to four players can compete locally in various track and field events using the characters from the River City series.

The final new addition is the only one that originally made it to the West.

Quest for Camelot is a Game Boy that was based on the 1998 Warner Bros. movie of the same name.

This is a 2D role-playing game which features over 60 levels to play through.

All four of these games are available now on Nintendo Switch, and can be played through the respective apps.

If you subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online then you can download the console app from the eShop and play the game you wish from there.
