NES classics Double Dragon II, Volleyball, City Connection join Nintendo Switch Online collection

Those that subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online service should be ready to get their hands on another trio of classic NES titles in the very near future. Nintendo just announced that beginning on June 12th, 2019, Double Dragon II: The Revenge, Volleyball and City Connection would be made available to download and play.  As usual all of the retro titles are somewhat enhanced on the Switch and include neat new features such as suspend/save states and online play where applicable.

See some screens below to refresh your memory and also have a look at the announcement.

Nintendo Switch Online – June 2019 screens:

The library of classic NES games available to Nintendo Switch Online members continues to grow this month, with the addition of Double Dragon II: The Revenge, Volleyball and City Connection. The three games will hit the paid online service for the Nintendo Switch system on June 12.
  • Double Dragon II: The Revenge ? Billy and Jimmy Lee, the Double Dragons, are back to avenge the loss of Marian. In their quest to defeat the evil Shadow Warriors, Billy and Jimmy must complete nine missions, facing deadly street gangs, ninjas and huge mutant fighters. Can Billy and Jimmy contend with the enemies placed before them and ultimately save the world?
  • Volleyball ? Enjoy a game of volleyball as you spike for a point, slam a perfect serve and make a save that wins the game for your team. As captain, you?ll lead your team through a fast-paced warm-up round, and then quickly move into the heat of real volleyball competition. The first team to 15 points wins the set, and the first team to win three sets takes the match.
  • City Connection ? After breaking into an exclusive paint store in New York City, you?re on the run from the cops! Carrying leaky 10-gallon cans of paint, drive over every mile of New York City highways before catching a boat to England. From there, you will go on a tour of the world, avoiding the police and leaking paint everywhere you go.
All games that are part of the Nintendo Entertainment System ? Nintendo Switch Online collection, which also includes classics like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Donkey Kong, have been enhanced with online features and can be played anytime and anywhere.
