Big things are in store for Switch Online users this month as the available library of classic NES games available to them grows this month. Double Dragon II: The Revenge, Volleyball, and City Connection are the three newest entries making their way to Switch Online, and players will be able to take a trip some memory lane when all three titles hit on June 12.

For those who haven’t played any of these upcoming additions to the Nintendo Switch Online service, Double Dragon II: The Revenge was a classic in its time. As a sequel to the original Double Dragon, Double Dragon II follows fighters Jimmy and Billy Lee as they fight against the evil Shadow Warriors. It’s a fantastic little side-scrolling fighter, and definitely one that Switch Online users will want to check out.

The other two titles are also classics of the era, with City Connection challenging players with avoiding the police, all while leaving a trail of paint behind them. It’s a fun little game that is worth checking out when it hits on June 12. As for Volleyball, fans of the beach-friendly sport will find a great fast-paced experience at their fingertips here.

All of these games will join the legion of NES titles already available with Nintendo Switch Online, which already includes games like Super Mario Bros. 3, Donkey Kong, and even The Legend of Zelda. If you’re a fan of older games, or if you just want to experience some of the classics that helped bring Nintendo to life, Nintendo Switch Online has plenty of NES games waiting for you to get lost in them.

Make sure you check out the new games when the hit later this month and be sure to follow Shacknews on Twitter for all the latest news and content delivered right to your timeline.
