[News] Nintendo Switch Online Adds New NES and SNES Games

[Ale X Erfan]

A new Nintendo eShop update is live with this month's new Nintendo Switch Online games. For the month of February, Nintendo Switch Online is adding four new games, or more specifically, three SNES games and one NES game. Back on February 9, Nintendo announced the four games coming to the subscription service, and today, all four of these games were added. In other words, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers on Switch and Switch Lite have the following three SNES games to enjoy: Doomsday Warrior, Pyscho Dream, and Prehistorik Man. Meanwhile, subscribers can also now download and play Fire n' Ice, the new NES game.

As always, all four of these additions are permanent additions, which means that as long you maintain an active subscription to Nintendo Switch Online -- which runs at $20 for 12 months -- you can play a vast library of NES and SNES games as much as you want. And right now, this is the only way to play these games on Switch and Switch Lite.

Below, you can read more about each game:

Psycho Dream: When Sayaka doesn’t return to reality after entering an immersive virtual world known as a D-Movie, the protagonists, Ryo and Maria, must progress through a terrifying fantasy game called Legend of the Fallen Capital to rescue her and bring her back to reality.
Doomsday Warrior: It’s the Doomsday Warrior versus the Doom Squad! This action game features an evil sorcerer who has recruited seven warriors to take over Earth. But one of the Doom Squad has resisted the influence and now stands against the rest as the Doomsday Warrior!
Prehistorik Man: Sam the caveman’s quest to save his village begins! Sam lives in a village whose food is stolen by dinosaurs. To get more, Sam must collect bones, which he can then use to buy food. On his way, he’ll need to make use of a variety of weapons, vehicles and attacks, including shouting, to attack all on-screen foes. Can Sam reach the dinosaur graveyard and collect enough bones?
Fire ’n Ice: As Dana, you have been chosen by the Queen of the Winter Fairies to bear the power of ice magic. With it, you must defend your home, Coolmint Island, from the wicked wizard Druidle and his flames!

In case you missed it, the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot movie has been releasing character posters featuring the cast in all their decked-out glory in advance of the first full trailer for the film dropping tomorrow. At this point, the movie has shared motion posters for characters like Sub-Zero, Kano, and more -- with the promise of more to come. So, we've gathered all of them here and will continue to add them as they are released.

Here is the official synopsis for the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie, which was relatively recently revealed:

"MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?"

The Mortal Kombat reboot film is currently scheduled to release on April 16th on both HBO Max and in theaters. The cast includes Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Josh Lawson as Kano, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Sisi Stringer as Mileena, and Lewis Tan as new character Cole Young. It wrapped filming late last year. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the film right here.

Fortnite Teases Mysterious Season 5 Event !

This season of Fortnite has been defying fans' expectations in so many ways, between crossing over between various movie and TV franchises and introducing some major new mechanics into the game. With less than a month to go until the end of Fortnite's Chapter 2 Season 5, there's definitely been a sense of anticipation building among its fans for what lies ahead -- and it seems like the game could already be laying the groundwork for that. A Reddit post from stickninja1015 recently went viral, which shows multiple of the game's NPC characters now offering dialogue that appears to tease some sort of event. This includes Mancake asking if "that thing" -- referencing the Zero Point -- has always been unstable, and Menace teasing that he feels that they're "gonna have a good fight on their hands."
