Two games are coming soon to the Nintendo Switch Online catalog, and they will be free. And be careful, these are real classics not to be missed.
The Christmas holidays may have ended, but it’s not the end of gifts in the video game sphere. Subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online know this, and a nice surprise awaits them. In a few days, two games will arrive in the catalog, and there will be no need to pay a single cent to play them. On the other hand, they are only aimed at a very specific segment of players, those who own the famous Additional Pack. But trust us, these are gems.
Two free games arrive in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog
Above all, a reminder is necessary for the latecomers. The Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack gives you access to a diverse and varied retro catalog. There are titles like GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, but also Paper Mario and F-Zero X. Soon, Nintendo will strike hard by making two additions well known to retrogaming fans. If you’re an RPG enthusiast, you’re probably not going to want to miss out on these cult titles. These are Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
We are therefore faced with RPG classics which are no longer young. The first opus was released in 2001 on Game Boy Advance, and The Lost Age a year later. Some of you may not be familiar with the license. Know that it immerses the player in an oh-so-rich fantasy universe, with endearing characters and gripping stories. We don’t want to go into details as it’s an adventure that deserves to go into it blindly. In short, these are great additions for Nintendo Switch Online.
As for the release date, you just have to be a little more patient. Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age will arrive on Nintendo Switch Online on January 17. In the meantime, you can still mix the many games that are accessible on the Big N service. We are thinking in particular of Jet Force Gemini, Harvest Moon 64 or even 1080° Snowboarding. There is something for everyone, and it would be a shame not to give them a chance even though they are “free”.
The most downloaded 2023 Switch game in Japan
In any case, last year was a great year for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. They were able, among other things, to try Suika Game for free for a limited period. And that’s not nothing, since it’s the most downloaded title on the Japanese eShop of 2023. Yes yes, ahead of behemoths like Tears of the Kingdom, that’s how much the concept has enjoyed. Especially since it’s a simple puzzle game where you have to combine several fruits of the same type to create big watermelons and get the best score (it’s a little more complex than that, but you have the idea).
