Nintendo revealed this evening four new games coming to Nintendo Switch Online in September for both the NES and SNES libraries. There's a few interesting choices this time around, starting with Donkey Kong Country 2 as the one that will stick out the most to players. A direct sequel to the popular Rare collaboration with Nintendo, it features Diddy Kong as the leading character this time around along with Dixie Kong trying to rescue DK. The other choices are… interesting, The next two SNES titles are Mario's Super Picross, which was released on the Super Famicom in 1995 (let's see how many of you know how to play Picross), and The Peace Keepers which is a deep cut even for the SNES library. Meanwhile, the NES gets S.C.A.T., which is an old-school favorite with an unfortunate title. You can read more about them below along with the trailer, as they'll be added to NES on September 23rd.
