It’s a new month, which means a new batch of (in this case, sort of baffling) additions to the classics catalog with Nintendo Switch Online. As they so often do, the new games available this month feature a mix of well-known games and others you may not have heard of. For October, one of the biggest surprises is a Mario game that will nonetheless be entirely new to most players.
The most recognizable of this month’s new games is one for fighting game fans. Fatal Fury Special was first released in arcades in 1993 before making its way to the Super NES, and later to Sega platforms. An enhanced version of Fatal Fury 2, it adds new characters not featured in the original version of the game. While the Fatal Fury series might not rank up there with the most popular fighting game series, it’s still got plenty of fans, and the addition of a good old-school fighting game on Switch Online is a welcome one.
