Nintendo’s Next Batch of SNES Games: A Cheeky Nod to Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure through the world of strategy games, as Nintendo announces its next batch of SNES games headed to the Switch Online catalogue! And, as a special treat, there’s a nod to Assassin’s Creed Shadows that’s sure to pique your interest.

Koei’s Strategy Games Take Center Stage

On March 28th, four strategy games from Koei will be joining the Switch Online family, including two Nobunaga’s Ambition titles. For those unfamiliar, Nobunaga’s Ambition lets you compete for control of Japan, either as the infamous Oda Nobunaga or his rivals, as they attempt to unify the country. This is the same conflict that plays out in Ubisoft’s new Feudal Japan-set Assassin’s Creed, where Oda Nobunaga is a key figure. Talk about a cheeky nod!

The Games You Can Expect

So, what can you look forward to? Here’s the list of games that will be joining the Switch Online catalogue:

• Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness
• Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence
• Kessen
• Kessen II

A Bittersweet Goodbye: Super Soccer’s Departure

But, as with all good things, there’s a bittersweet note to this announcement. On March 28th, SNES game Super Soccer will be delisted from Nintendo’s Switch Online catalogue, at least in Japan. This marks the first game to disappear from the subscription service. Eurogamer reached out to Nintendo for more information on why the game will be removed and whether this removal will also take place elsewhere in the world, but we’re still waiting for a response.
