Nintendo announced the games being added to the Nintendo Switch Online library for September 2023. They include Kirby’s Star Stacker (SNES), Quest for Camelot (Game Boy), Downtown Nekketsu March: Super-Awesome Field Day! (NES), and Joy Mech Fight (NES). Many of this month’s releases previously never released in the West.
Kirby’s Star Stacker is a falling block puzzle game. Originally released as a Game Boy game, the Switch Online release is the Super Famicom remake. While the Game Boy game had previously seen a release in North America and Europe, this remake has been Japan exclusive until now.
Quest for Camelot is an action-adventure game based on the 1998 animated movie of the same name. It’s the second licensed movie tie-in game released for the Switch Online service, after Goldeneye 007 for the N64. In a weird coincidence, both of these movies star Pierce Brosnan.
Downtown Nekketsu March: Super-Awesome Field Day! is a spin-off from the Kunio-kun/River City Ransom franchise. This is a sports game where characters can compete in four athletic events. This is another game which has seen limited release in the West. It’s previously only been released outside Japan as part of the Double Dragon & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle compilation.
Joy Mech Fight is the final September 2023 Switch Online game that had never seen a release outside Japan before. It’s a fighting game where every character is a robot made of floating spheres. Super Smash Bros players may recognise the character of Sukapon, who appeared as an Assist Trophy.
The new September 2023 additions for the Nintendo Switch Online library are now available.
