Nintendo Switch Online Expands with Three Classic Sega Genesis Games
Three Sega Genesis games are now available on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack: ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, Vectorman, and Mercs (Wolf of the Battlefield: Mercs). Nintendo announced the additions on X, releasing a short trailer showcasing the titles.
What’s Included?
- ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron: This 1993 sequel brings the alien duo back to their home planet, Funkotron, to solve new problems after humans stow away on their ship. It’s a side-scrolling platformer.
- Vectorman: A 1995 action-platformer utilizing impressive pre-rendered 3D models for the time. The game features a post-apocalyptic setting where a rogue robot, WarHead, threatens what’s left of Earth.
- Mercs (Wolf of the Battlefield: Mercs): Originally an arcade game, this 1990 Genesis port is a run-and-gun title allowing up to three players to rescue a president from rebels in Zutula.
Interestingly, ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron and Vectorman are on Sega’s list of games being delisted from Steam in December. Sega also recently launched new Genesis merchandise and announced reboots of several classic franchises, including Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Crazy Taxi.
