Starting next week on May 26, there will be an initial debut of seven games from SNK's catalogue that you can download and play to your heart's content. There are some pretty excellent titles there as well, including some great fighting games like Samurai Shodown 2 and Fatal Fury Special.

Here's the full list of the first games to make their way over to Twitch Prime users:

• Art of Fighting 2
• Blazing Star
• Fatal Fury Special
• The King of Fighters 2000
• The King of Fighters 2002
• Pulstar
• Samurai Shodown 2

There's no date for when the second set of games will be headed to Twitch Prime, but there are several excellent ones set to debut when they do. You can look for Garou: Mark of the Wolves, The Last Blade 2, Metal Slug 2, Sengoku 3, and King of the Monsters.

Many of these titles will feature online multiplayer options, so you can play with friends. But either way, there are plenty of great free titles to look forward to so you get a nice blast from the past. Of course, they'll only be available for a short amount of time, so make sure you snag them while you can.
