Five Sega Mega Drive games join Nintendo Switch Online today

Altered Beast! ToeJam & Earl! Three more!

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers who have upgraded themselves with the additional Expansion Pack tier can enjoy five more Sega Mega Drive games from today.

These include Sega's own Altered Beast, ToeJam & Earl, Dynamite Headdy and Sword of Vermillion, as well as Technosoft's Thunder Force 2.

There are no new N64 games today. In case you missed it, the original Paper Mario was added to the service last week, on 10th December. Banjo-Kazooie is up next, and is due in January.
