Battletoads Arrives On Nintendo Switch Online Alongside Three Other Classic Games
While Nintendo usually limits its Nintendo Switch Online drops to one platform at a time, today it is adding two new games each from two different classic platforms: Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword Of Chaos for NES, and Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and Bionic Commando for Game Boy.
Of the new additions, Rare's 1991 NES beat-em-up Battletoads is remembered by gamers for being one of the most difficult games of the era, with many planning a rematch as the game comes to Switch for the first time.
These #NES and #GameBoy games are now available to play for #NintendoSwitchOnline members!

The new drop of games also includes two sequels to games that are already part of the Nintendo Switch Online library. Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword Of Chaos is the second game in the franchise's NES trilogy, following on from the original Ninja Gaiden, which is already on Nintendo Switch Online.

A rating for the game on PC has popped up on the ESRB's database. Games typically receive ratings from various groups before they are released, suggesting the as-yet unannounced PC version could release soon.
The 2019 original Death Stranding released on PC in July 2020, which was about eight months after the game originally launched for PS4 in November 2019.
Sony owns the publishing rights to Death Stranding and decides when it's released on other platforms, and increasingly, PC is becoming a bigger revenue source for the company. A recent report said Sony's various PC releases thus far have brought in more than $1 billion collectively.
