Nintendo has officially announced an exciting addition to its Switch Online catalogue, featuring a new lineup of classic SNES games set to launch on Friday, March 28th. Among the newly added titles, fans will notice a significant connection to the popular franchise, Assassin's Creed, particularly with the inclusion of four strategic games developed by Koei.
The upcoming release features four strategy games that promise to engage players with their rich historical content. The titles being added are:
Nobunaga's Ambition Nobunaga's Ambition: Lord of Darkness Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4: Wall of Fire Uncharted Waters: New HorizonsNobunaga's Ambition is particularly noteworthy as it allows players to engage in a historical struggle for control over Japan. Players can either assume the role of the notorious Oda Nobunaga or one of his rivals, all vying to unify the nation. This historical conflict closely parallels the setting of Ubisoft's latest installment in the Assassin's Creed series, which is also rooted in Feudal Japan and features Oda Nobunaga as a pivotal character.
For those eager to see these classic games in action, gameplay footage of all four titles can be found in the video below. This sneak peek provides a glimpse into the strategic depth and engaging gameplay that players can expect when these titles release on March 28th.
In related news, March 28th will also mark the delisting of the SNES game Super Soccer from Nintendo's Switch Online catalogue, at least in Japan. This marks a significant moment as it becomes the first game to be removed from the subscription service. Eurogamer has reached out to Nintendo for clarification regarding the reasons behind this decision and whether the delisting will extend to other regions worldwide. As of now, further details are pending.
Stay tuned for more updates on Nintendo's Switch Online offerings and the exciting developments in the world of classic gaming.
