Nintendo has revealed their upcoming Nintendo Switch Online NES releases for April 2019. Joining the ever-expanding classic library this month, on April 10th, will be Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels, Punch-Out, and Star Soldier.
As with all previous Nintendo Entertainment System games on Switch, Nintendo Switch Online members will be able to play the upcoming releases for free using the NES app. You can find out more information about each of the games below:
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream – As young boxer Little Mac, players have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to battle the big guys of the World Video Boxing Association circuit. Take them on one by one, starting with skinny Glass Joe. Battle up through King Hippo and all the way to the WVBA Champion himself. Players use their best jabs, hooks and power uppercuts to knock out opponents, but must also dodge jaw-breaking blows by paying attention to subtle changes in their foe’s body position.
Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels
Originally released in Japan as Super Mario Bros.® 2, this game has previously made only brief cameo appearances in the Western Hemisphere. Mario fans will appreciate the familiar look and feel of the game, while finding that its updated gameplay creates an entirely new challenge. In addition to the classic enemies already known to fans worldwide, there are also Poison Mushrooms, backward Warp Zones and the occasional wind gust (which can help or hinder your progress).
Star Soldier
The standard for vertically scrolling shooters, Star Soldier is the original game that spawned all of the titles in the long-running Soldierseries. Go inside a floating space station inhabited by a giant computer known as Starbrain. Your mission: to stop Starbrain’s galactic invasion by piloting Caesar, a new compact space fighter, through 16 deadly stages.
