Nintendo Switch Online Adds Wrecking Crew ’98, SUPER R-TYPE, and Amazing Hebereke

Nintendo has added another new batch of games to the Nintendo Switch Online library, and though many may be unfamiliar with the new additions, it’s fair to say they had their fair share of fans back in the day (which was, admittedly, quite long ago).

All three additions in this batch are SNES titles. There’s Wrecking Crew ’98, an action puzzle Mario spinoff that never released outside of Japan. This will be the first time Western audiences will officially get access to the game, with its 2016 Wii U Virtual Console release also having been exclusive to Japan.

Also available now is SUPER R-TYPE, an acclaimed horizontally scrolling shooter that itself was an expanded version of 1989’s arcade title R-Type II. 

Finally, there’s also the Hebereke series’ fighting spinoff, Amazing Hebereke, which also releases for Wester audiences for the first time since it first came out in 1994. Amazing Hebereke has been available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers since 2020.

Three #SuperNES classic titles are now live for #NintendoSwitchOnline members!
