The August NES Nintendo Switch Online Titles are Now Available

Coming in a little later in the month than usual, the latest update for the the NES Nintendo Switch Online app is now available. This update brings two new games to the service along with one SP version of an existing release. The new games are the excellent and rarely seen Vice: Project Doom and the also rare but less exciting Kung Fu Heroes. The SP version this time around is Gradius. Yes, we already had an SP version for that which let players start late in the game loaded up with power-ups. This SP version starts you off at the beginning of the more challenging second loop through the game. Few players have the skill to see this on their own, but now you can just jump right in. Vice: Project Doom is a very cool surprise, but I do hope Super NES games are on the way soon. ‘Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games: Tokyo 2020’ Launches November 5th
