Nintendo just announced and released four titles for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers including one I never thought would release outside Japan, Harvest Moon. This update arrives after the recent GBA one. When anything involving Harvest Moon happens, I always assume the rights situation between the old publisher (Natsume) and the current ones (Marvelous and Xseed) means we likely won’t see older titles on modern systems. I’m glad I was wrong and hope we see the N64 game as well. Today’s NSO update out now includes Harvest Moon on Nintendo Switch Online for the SNES app alongside Game Boy’s Kirby Tilt n Tumble and Blaster Master: Enemy Below. The NES app has gotten Mystery Tower today.
Nintendo Switch Online June 2023 updates for Game Boy, SNES, and NES apps
The games with descriptions via Nintendo are below:
Game Boy
- Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble – When you move, Kirby moves! This action game was released for the Game Boy™ Color system in 2001 and features the ever-adorable Kirby! In this game, it’s all about how Kirby tilts and tumbles! This twist on classic Kirby gameplay adds new levels of fun. Kirby moves left, right, forward and backward based on the movement of the system you hold in your hands! This version replicates the motion controls from the original Game Boy Color version. Tilt your Nintendo Switch system or controller to play. Go, Kirby, go!
- Blaster Master: Enemy Below – Jason and his legendary battle vehicle, SOPHIA, are back again to save the world. Using the strong weapons and high jumping power of SOPHIA, Jason must head to subterranean regions and eliminate everything in his path. In narrow places, Jason can exit SOPHIA and move through catacombs on foot. In the catacombs, control Jason in top-down view and battle with guns and grenades! Swap in and out of your vehicle and adapt to the situation to succeed!
Super NES
- Harvest Moon – Discover the roots of the farming simulator genre in Harvest Moon! Take in the natural beauty and breathe the fresh country air. Experience firsthand the down-to-earth goodness of life on a farm! Your challenge is to dig in and build your life as a farmer with old-fashioned hard work and dedication. You have a modest house, so it’s going to take a remodel to woo a farming companion. Success in this game is measured by the fruits of your labor, so remember – you always reap what you sow!
NES
- Mystery Tower – Use wit and skill to reach the top of the tower! This game launched for the Famicom™ system in Japan in 1986 and is packed with puzzles and action! Play the role of archaeologist and explorer and set your sights on the top of the tower. Clear stages by moving and rearranging mysterious stones to reach the exit and proceed to the next floor.
It is going to be interesting to see what is added following these four titles.
