Four new Sega Genesis titles are available with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Alien Storm, Columns, Golden Axe 2, and Virtua Fighter 2 are available for subscribers to play. Check out the trailer below to see each game in action.
Alien Storm is a side-scrolling beat ’em up/shooter where players control Garth, Karen, and Scooter as they attempt to fight back against aliens. Columns is a puzzle game where you need to connect gems and clear lines – it includes Doubles and Flash Columns modes for two players. Golden Axe 2 is a more traditional beat ’em up and sees Ax, Tyris and Gilius fighting against Dark Guld and his minions.
Finally, there’s Virtua Fighter 2, Sega’s flagship fighter but in 2D for the Genesis. It includes Akira, Jacky, Sarah, Jeffrey and Wolf, and though not quite the same as the original, it’s still a fun game.
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is available for $49.99 yearly, and also provides access to Nintendo 64 titles, along with the base subscription tier’s benefits. You also gain access to DLC like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass.
