Nintendo aired its promised June Nintendo Direct overnight, giving us around 40 minutes of new announcements, updates, trailers and releases for the Switch.
While it couldn’t have been a major Nintendo Direct without the announcement of a micro-portion of new classic games for the Nintendo Switch Online service, this latest batch is at least wall-to-wall bangers. Four new games were announced in total, with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Four Swords and Metroid: Zero Mission from the Game Boy Advance as well as two “mature” Nintendo 64 titles in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and the iconic Perfect Dark.
Being N64 and GBA titles, these ones are exclusive to subscribers of the more expensive Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership tier membership, but if that’s you, you can play them as of right now via the official Game Boy Advance app and the newly-minted “Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online: Mature” app.
