Nintendo Switch Online: Golden Axe II and Alien Storm join Sega Genesis library

Tyris Flare and Co. back in action

Nintendo another quartet of classic Sega Genesis titles into the Nintendo Switch Online library of 16-bit classics. All🍒 subscribers to the Expansion Pack service can check out the four new/old releases today, simply by downloading them from the Sega Genesis library.

The new selection runs a gauntlet of genres and contains some bonafide icons from the Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis golden years. Scrolling brawler fans can take to the streets with the excellent 1991 release Golden Axe II, or drop the axes and pick up a bazooka or two with 1990’s goofy, sci-fi classic Alien Storm.

Also released in 1990, puzzle heads will find the still-compelling block buster Columns a fine way to while away a lazy afternoon, while one-on-one fight fans can check out Sega’s 1996 Genesis port of Virtua Fighter 2, a highly ambitious release that bravely 💦attempted to squeeze the smash-hit arcade 𝄹into a humble 16-bit cartridge.

Alien Storm, Columns, Golden Axe II, and Virtua Fighter 2 are now available to dow💎nload for all Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers via the NSO app on your Nintendo Switch dashboard.
