Nintendo has expanded its NES catalog on Nintendo Switch Online, adding three classic titles — Ninja Gaiden 3: The Ancient Ship of Doom, Ikari Warriors, and R.C. Pro-Am 2 — to the service.
All three games are available now for subscribers and playable on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, accessible with a standard Nintendo Switch Online membership without requiring the Expansion Pack tier.
Ninja Gaiden 3: The Ancient Ship of Doom (Tecmo) concludes the original NES-era Ninja Gaiden trilogy.
Players control master ninja Ryu Hayabusa, the last member of the Dragon Clan, as he battles familiar threats and pursues the truth behind Irene’s death.
The title is the third and final chapter in the classic Ninja Gaiden saga on the NES.
Ikari Warriors (SNK) brings 1987’s run-and-gun action to the Switch library.
In the NES release, players assume the roles of Paul and Vince to infiltrate an enemy stronghold and dismantle a hostile nation.
The game emphasized limited ammo and resource management, with enemies dropping resupplies, power-ups to assist players, and vehicle segments that let you pilot tanks and helicopters through the battlefield.
R.C. Pro-Am 2 (Rare), the 1992 sequel to the original R.C. Pro-Am, upgrades the series’ top-down RC racing formula.
The NES title features 24 tracks, two-player competition, collectible performance-boosting items, and an in-game R.C. MODEL SHOP where racers can buy upgrades with prize money.
The sequel also includes two bonus minigames — Tug O’ Truck Challenge and The Drag Race — that award cash and championship points between races.
Nintendo has posted a trailer showcasing Ninja Gaiden 3, Ikari Warriors, and R.C. Pro-Am 2 as part of the Switch Online update.
Players interested in the full list of recent additions and ongoing Switch Online coverage can consult Nintendo’s official Switch Online information pages and the eShop for availability and download details.
These additions continue Nintendo’s strategy of curating NES-era content for modern audiences through the Nintendo Switch Online service, making classic library entries accessible to current hardware and subscribers.
