The Nintendo Partner Direct for 2024 just happened. While we only had a handful of good announcements, like some exclusive Xbox products for the Nintendo Switch, there was one more that caught our eye. And this one is for the retro gamers out there. It turns out that five of the five Rareware games are returning to the Nintendo Switch!

This list of classics includes Killer Instinct, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, Snake Rattle 'n' Roll, Blast Corps and RC Pro-Am. These are some of the classic games where you can feel the arcade rush and excitement. Coming from the old vaults like the Super Nintendo and other old consoles, the Rareware games are a great nostalgic revival of old Nintendo games.

Although Killer Instinct is a critically acclaimed fighter, Blast Corps still holds a special place in many gamers' hearts. You can play these games on your Nintendo Switch right away, but there's a catch.

The classic Rareware games will be available on Nintendo right after the event. If you have Nintendo Switch Online, you can enjoy Killer Instinct, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, Snake Rattle 'n' Roll and RC Pro-Am right away. However, to unlock the fifth game, Blast Corps, you must purchase the Expansion Pack subscription.
