Nintendo Adds Classic Sega Games to Switch

Nintendo has added three classic Sega Genesis games—Mercs, Vectorman, and ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron—to its Switch Online Expansion Pack, marking the first additions to this library in over 500 days. The update, released on November 27, 2024, allows Nintendo Switch Online members to access these nostalgic titles for free as part of their subscription. ToeJam & Earl returns to Funkotron to capture invading Earthlings, while Vectorman is an action shooter featuring a robot hero fighting to save Earth. Mercs provides arcade-style gameplay, where players take on enemy forces to rescue the former president. This update reflects Nintendo's ongoing commitment to enhancing their retro game offerings, ensuring at least one new game per month across their libraries. The latest additions are seen as deeper cuts rather than marquee titles, which may explain their delayed release.
