Nintendo Switch Online adds 3 more free SNES games

Nintendo has announced another drop in free Super Nintendo Entertainment System games for those who subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online this week. Just as we’ve seen in past announcements, the announcement and game releases happened at the same time as a welcome surprise for subscribers and Kirby fans in particular. These games in question are Kirby Super Star, Kirby’s Dream Land 3, and Kirby’s Dream Courseand you can play it right now as long as you have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.
All three SNES-era Kirby games have been confirmed for appearances on Nintendo Switch Online in an announcement shared by Nintendo on Thursday. In case those names don’t ring a bell, given the current age of games and the number of Kirby games Nintendo has released over the years, perhaps the box art of the games below will trigger your nostalgia.
Nintendo has also confirmed that secret modes for all of these games are unlocked from the start, so there’s no need to dig into old wikis or forums to find out more about the games’ secrets.

With these older games now added to Nintendo Switch Online, Kirby fans keep winning after other recent releases and additions have given them more to play. In March, Nintendo Switch owners were treated to a brand new Kirby game with the release of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, a game that further evolved on the simple Kirby formula. Our review praised the game’s unique twists while still retaining the appeal that Kirby fans are looking for in a new game.
In addition to this new game, fans also got an old Kirby game with the release of Kirby Chapter 64: Crystal Shards, although this one was only available to those with the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack and had some pretty glaring issues when it was released. However, Nintendo eventually solved them, so things are looking much better now for Kirby fans new and old.
Nintendo Switch Online’s Kirby games from the SNES platform are now available for subscribers to try or revisit.
