Nintendo will add new SNES, NES, Super Famicom and Famicom titles to its online services in a February Nintendo Switch Online update. The North American and Japanese versions of the application will receive three SNES / SFC games and one NES / Famicom game. Updates for both applications will arrive on February 17, 2021.
Continuing its trend of unexpected titles, the February Nintendo Switch Online update will include many obscure games. North America will achieve Psychotic dream, Doomsday Warriorand Prehistorik Man on the SNES. As for the single NES game, the service will add Fire ‘n Ice, also known as Solomon’s Key 2. One of the highlights here is Psychotic dream, a forgotten gem of an action platform game with creative visuals and a science fiction concept. It only appeared in Japan before its inclusion here.
Here is the video from Nintendo showing the North American additions.
The February update of Nintendo Switch Online for the Japanese app will be quite different. The Super Famicom will receive Psychotic dream too, but subscribers will also receive Shin Megami Tensei II and Mario’s Super Picross. The title of the Famicom will be the same as in the North America update: Solomon’s Key 2. The highlight of the Super Famicom is certainly Shin Megami Tensei II. The newly added title is the second game in the Megami Tensei series in the Japanese app.

Finally, Nintendo sent a separate video in Japanese with secrets and tricks. If players follow the steps, they can easily access the stage selection menu at Psychotic dream and fuse demons more efficiently in Shin Megami Tensei II. In addition, there are puzzles hidden in Mario’s Super Picross and secret challenges in Solomon’s Key 2.
Here’s the video, which should be easy to follow for those who don’t speak Japanese, thanks to the visual.
The next Nintendo Switch Online update for February will be live on February 17, 2021. As a reminder, the previous update in December added games like Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s double problem and The ignition factor.
