These are all REALLY good games. Crusader of Centy in particular is something like $2,000 complete. It's SEGA's Zelda.
Absolutely!
Yea that is four great titles there. All excellent.
*Cries in traded it in to get a Playstation in 1998*
Time to devalue it
pokemon zelda, even
Landstalker's a classic. Don't let the isometric view scare you off, it's a great game.
Honestly, just the little they showed has me intrigued.
@@Widgerber its so much fun I played the heck out of it as kid can't wait to go back and see how bad I get lost in the forest maze again lol
Great until you make it to Greenmaze
@@Widgerber Among other things, halfway through the game the main overworld theme (as heard in this trailer) is replaced by a second theme, and it's a BANGER.
Fun fact. Alundra on the PS is the spiritual successor to Landstalker so if you like either your likely to enjoy the other!
This update is such a win. Crusader of Centy is one of my biggest wants for the Sega Genesis NSO Expansion Pack, Landstalker is one of my all-time favorite Genesis/Mega Drive games of all time, and Ghouls 'n Ghosts and Revenge of Shinobi are fantastic games as well.
For the Sega Genesis, Nintendo is bringing in everything we want. If only they would do this for the SNES.
Bring on Lufia!
Both Landstalker and Revenge of Shinobi are part of the Sega Genesis Classics game on switch
I NEVER imagined we could get Crusader of Centy on this service. When you take a step back and look at what is present on NSO it’s pretty nuts.
Landstalker is so good. The quality and scope of the game was something you didn't see on Genesis at the time. Great music and dungeons too.
ghouls n ghost is my favorite Genesis game
Revenge of Shinobi is a childhood classic for me. I played it on the Six Pak cart which also had Streets of Rage, Sonic, Columns, Super Hang On and Golden Axe. Wish we can buy these and all Nintendo classics separately outside of the online subscription service tho.
I also had 6-Pak for Genesis. Great memories with those titles too on it.
The Genesis Collection on Switch can be purchased (physical or download) and it has every game you had listed except Super Hang On. The Genesis Collection does have around 50 games (many of them are games available on Switch Online). But for $20-$30 you can own many classic Genesis games
@@justkeating8399 super hang on was actually a purchasable standalone on ps3 along with a few others like revenge of shinobi back in the day so they must of had licensing issues if its not on that. ik Sonic 3 is also not on that collection. Imo the previous collection was better.
I also ment the Nintendo games too. it would be nice to actually own em instead of them being stuck in a subscription service.
@@IndieGameFan316 I wasn’t aware of Super Hang On being available as DLC on the PS3. I totally agree with everything you said about there being better versions of Genesis Collection and the desire to actually purchase these games rather than rent them via the subscription in perpetuity. There are some of them you can purchase but not as many as I’d like.
It’s always amazing to see how much The Legend of Zelda series inspires and continues to inspire gameplay and design.
Even though Space Wars(65) started Video games in the 1st place? Atari remade it as a tribute. If it wasnt for a bunch of nerds playing Space wars you wouldnt have Zelda OR ANYTHING
Crusader of Centi is SO underrated. Very happy that it's on Switch Online now.
All four of these are bangers. This is a REALLY good update
Like sml FootLong Bangers
Crusader of Centy in particular, very few of us are willing to buy this as a cartridge. It's nearly as expensive as Earthbound.
@@michaelp4122 Thank Nintendo and Sega for making these games more accessible!
THANK YOU for continuing to single-out notoriously rare and expensive games every now and then. Having Crusader of Centy is especially fantastic.
Yall, if you like old-school Zelda and you haven't played Crusader of Centy, DO IT. It gives A Link to the Past a run for its money, if you ask me.
Crusaders is better than link to the past? ( i talk spanish)
@@harakiri9023 yes, this is what the commenter is saying but i have never heard of this game before
Good way to disappoint ppl
Nobody asked you and nowhere does it compete with a link to the past 😂
Stop being a cheap bum, play the originals on original hardware, brokie.
I love crusader of centy, and its soundtrack is legendary. I still listen to black night and burn daisy to this day.
Revenge of Shinobi was my introduction to the series and I haven't played it in forever since I was young. Glad it's finally here
Every single one of these is a banger. Great update this month.
Now this is what I like to see! Rare, high quality titles with an officially supported way to play them! Crusader of Centy is a game I heard of in passing, but seeing it in action it seems like it could have given A Link to the Past some serious competition back in its day.
The Revenge of Shinobi. One of my favorite all-time classics from the Genesis. Played this in my childhood as part of the SEGA 6-Pak compilation game.
After beating Sonic Origins' Story Mode, I'm in the mood for more cool Genesis games. So this looks interesting to me.
>he actually pays $50 for roms
@@knuclear200x Does it affect you in any way? No.
@knuclear200x reflect on yourself
@@knuclear200xWhat a strange comment. You actually came on here to talk about service you have no interest in?
Who is the person that is actually wasting their time?
@@SaltyToad00 this is why the Switch has nothing. Because you all willingly waste money on free games
Landstalker is heading to the Nintendo Switch Online! About freaking time aka Even though I absolutely loved exploring all the Villages! Those puzzles drove me absolutely crazy back in the day haha
They finally updated this! Great picks too, well done Nintendo!
i feel like there's such a wealth of cool genesis games to choose from that it's hard for them to go wrong, at least for the time being
Ya
wow they dumped some roms onto their rip-off subscription service
@@rhysspeight7142 Yeah, with some of those games being near impossible to play nowadays on OG hardware.
I am sure gonna try crusader of centy
I remember seeing a TAS of Crusader of Centy and I thought the game looked pretty good, nice to see it coming to the Switch's online service. Maybe in the next SNES update we could get some of the rarer SNES games like Lufia 2 or Terranigma so more people can experience those fantastic games (or maybe just Terranigma so the US can experience it legally for the first time ever.)
Nah bro, Mario Paint for SNES
Honestly I think the way to go with Terranigma is to release a "Quintet Trilogy" collection with Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma on it (the way they did with Collection of Mana).
@@paunchosmith3978 What about a Quintet Quintet and put in both Act Raiser games. Yeah yeah I know we got a remake of the first.
Wow! Nice ones! Always wanted to try Crusader of Centy!
As someone who was around in 1989, Ghouls N Ghosts and Revenge Of Shinobi blew so many people’s minds that year. They helped to establish the Genesis as the top competitor to the NES.
Yeah as a 46 year old I was there. Both of those games were way ahead of their time.
And this Ghouls N' Ghosts actually ran at a smooth framerate!
44 year old here. I was also there and was lucky to have the best combination in history: a Mega Drive/Genesis and a Super NES. The best consoles ever made in my opinion.
51 year old AUSTRALIAN here and old enough to know there is better games on the Mega Drive(Im not a YANK and thank god for that. you people have no souls) and also I dont see games like Dragon Quest on the Mega drive. Nintendo always had the better RPGS and Sega was always playing catch up
I never thought Crusader of Centy would come, but it's finally here. The Revenge of Shinobi is also a great pick since it's a Yuzo Koshiro composed game. Ghouls N Ghost is such a tough one since I haven't finished playing that one on the Sega Genesis Mini, but I can finish it on NSO. Landstalker seems almost forgotten, but I should check that out.
Oh my Landstalker that takes me back. Maybe someday we could see Alundra available somewhere on a modern console.
Sadly probably only on a Sony platform haha. Unless there was a full remake. That would be really cool though
Four legit good games. Well done.
Great games this update, Crusader of Centy alone is an incredible game to add. Not everyone has the Genesis Mini 2 and this is a great way for Switch owners to play this.
I've always wanted to play Crusader of Centy, heck yeah!!
Considering Crusader of Centy goes for 3 figures loose, and near $2k complete on the 2nd hand market, this is the best way to play it officially. Also, Landstalker, Ghouls and Ghosts, and Revenge of Shinobi are amazing picks.
Another stellar month for the Genesis.
Fingers crossed that Streets Of Rage 1 gets added later down the road.
There aren't many Genesis games that aren't on NSO because Nintendo releases a the good ones.
All I can think of is Shining in the Darkness, Phantasy Star 2&3 and Ranger X.
Maybe start bringing in Sega CD games!
@@michaelp4122 And 32X games so they can finally re-release Knuckles' Chaotix.
I want Streets of Rage 1 too
@@michaelp4122The Sega CD library is atrocious. I used to own one. I hear people try to counter argue me all the time. But..."Final Fight" and "Mortal Kombat" were better on CD. Marginally better, and we have perfect arcade ports now.
There is only two SEGA CD games I can think of that should be released. Both Ecco the Dolphine games. That's it.
The ones for the Sega CD are easier, with extra levels, and superior music.
But "Terminator CD"...that game is so mediocre. Play "Ultracore" available on Switch if you want too see what a good Terminator CD game should have been.
@@thinkhector Snatcher is a great game on the Sega CD. It shows Kojimas cinematic skills before MGS. If Nintendo can get that on Switch Online I may upgrade to the expansion pack
I JUST saw Crusader of Centy in a recommendations video like yesterday, what a coincidence!!! I may just give that one a shot. There's still a ton of Genesis hidden gems that need to be unearthed here soon, so hopefully we'll see some more
I heard that it's like The Legend of Zelda.
Its fate
The Gaming Historian made a great video about it. You should go check it out!
@@SaltyToad00It's like Zelda, but with platforming and a world map like Super Mario World
@@SaltyToad00 Yeah, same
PSA not to sleep on Crusader of Centy. It's a pretty rare and expensive game in the US that is 100% worth checking out. It's basically Sega's slightly-more-anime take on The Legend of Zelda and, if you're a fan of that series and miss 2D Zeldas is a great substitute. I played it back in May to review it on my channel/as a game to hold me over till TOTK dropped and really, really enjoyed it
Thank you for all these awesome Sega games. I hope we get even more of them in the future 😊
Crusader of Centy was a major step forward for the online service. Looking for forward to seeing the Final Fight trilogy and Bare Knuckle III for Nintendo Switch Online.
Yeah and Street Fighter 2 Turbo and NBA Hangtime
These games were all on my wishlist! Now all that’s left is Rocket Knight Adventures, Decap Attack, Shadowrun, and the Vectorman games!
Good odds on all those coming. What's really missing from the Genesis library, and I suspect we won't be getting, are the Disney licensed games. The Genesis has a bunch of them, and often, they were of a good quality.
yeah especially quackshot and castle of illusion :)))
I'm still waiting for Mario Party 3 to show up.😮💨
The Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo just had so many incredible titles on them, games that still hold up and are incredibly fun to play 30 years later!
This an AWESOME update! I've always loved The Revenge of Shinobi, and Ghouls n Ghosts is great (especially for the rewind feature) 😅
Crusader of Centy? Wow, didn't expect that! The physical copy of the game is SO expensive these days thought I'd never get a chance to play it lol! Landstalker I have a physical copy of and it's awesome as it was made by the people of Alundra as I highly recommend people in giving Landstalker a try!
I Also Have Crusader Of Centy Yeah it's Insane The Price Now Day's 🤯
Never heard of Crusader of Centy before.
Looks really fun, sort of like a more colorful version of Ilusion of Gaia
The physical cartridge of Crusader of Centy is mighty expensive and rare. I heard great things about the game so I am pretty interested in playing it.
Wow, these are all games I've been hoping would come to the service. This is a great update.
Cool, thanks! Next time I hope we get Vectorman!
These out now? Every one of them I want to play. Relive some childhood memories
All Genesis classics. Super solid
Oh nice, this is my favorite version of Ghouls and Ghosts. (Spent the most time playing this one as a kid). Nice additions all around.
Good to see more updates!
Crusader and Landstalker are games I've had my eye on for a while now
Crusader is one I’m especially proud to see here because of how rare it is.
Ok. Crusader of Centy was a excellent choice! This is actually the very first time in a very long time that its been made playable legit.
Crusaders Of Centy, that's an expensive one. Now I get to play it.
If i went back in time and told my 90s self that I'd be playing on nintendo in order to play my favorite sega games, i would have laughed in my 2023 selfs face... the console wars were real, and this update is giving us some serious spoils of war!!
All four are classics!
Revenge of Shinobi, a true classic.
Even if it's the same 2009 revision introduced on the Wii Virtual Console which recolors Metamorpher's first form (this is because the license Sega had to feature him as Spider-Man expired), alters Joe Musashi's face to make him look less like Sonny Chiba as depicted in Kage No Gundan, and transforms Monster G into an anthropomorphic skeleton with visible internal organs.
I like how in so many old games when you defeat an enemy it just EXPLODES
Landstalker? Looking forward to that one. I hope to see Alundra (different team, but spiritual successor) get a remaster and widespread release one day. And more RPGs (incl. Terranigma, and others that never got ported across other territories) make their way on
Ive been wanting to play "crusader of centy" since it was mentioned on "gaming historian".
Some nice updates. Big change is if they start adding Sega Saturn games, if they can find a way, heard it's hard to port those game given the specific software.
The Saturn Tribute line of Switch games says otherwise.
Yeah, I heard Saturn emulation is very very hard.
@SaltyToad00 so is sega 32x… r.i.p. knuckles chaotix but watch we’ll get 32x online before Saturn online… that’ll be awful
And @schowd31 lmfao keep dreaming about sega Saturn online
I've never even considered Saturn games on the Switch before. Being able to play games such as Dragon Force, Shining Force III, Shining the Holy Ark, Guardian Heroes, or even Panzer Dragoon Saga (if that's even possible) on the Switch would be absolutely amazing. Heck, if they need a way to get their hands on the code for Panzer Dragoon Saga, I'd even send them my copy of the game if it'd help make it a reality.
This is my first time playing Crusader of Centry and I'm enjoying it a lot!
CRUSADER OF CENTY! Now that’s a rare one.
Wasn’t Revenge of Shinobi on 6-Pak? That game looks familiar.. like memories when I was like 3 or something… which also contains memories of playing Golden Axe and Streets of Rage..
Yeah it was one of those games.
Yep, alongside Golden Axe, Streets of Rage 1, Sonic 1, Columns, and Super Hang-On. 6-Pak was goated in terms of quality and variety.
Correct! Good times...
The TWIN BROTHER of SNES
Great games, and that Legendary Revenge of Shinobi OST. Love it!
Landstalker is an all-time favorite of mine. Please, take the time to check it out!
Good selection. Crusader of Centy is very rare, so I'm glad it's been getting a wider release.
And it's a reasonable alternative to getting the game itself or the Genesis Mini 2
I hope they add Road Rash one day
Landstalker! Great to see that on Switch but would love it even more to see a sequel
Landstalker is my first game ive ever played i love it
Heck yaaaa .. we need more rare titles like this .. Sega Genesis does what Ninten-doing!! Lol .. loving the lineup super excited
Revenge of Shinobi complete with soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro of Street of Rage fame.....PLAY IT!!!
Landstalker about time i loved this game as a kid
Crusader of Centy is such a hidden gem. Love that game, glad to see it here.
These are good games, I hope they add other Genesis games like The Ooze, Alex Kidd, Vectorman, Street of Rage 1 and 3 and Sonic 1, 3&Knuckles and 3D Blast, we need more Sonic games
I hope for those too
Alex Kidd is a bad game. And oddly enough, you have two ways to play it already: Sega Ages lineup, and a Remastered version.
It's such a bad game though.
Best group of games so far.
Of course! SEGA Does What Nintendon’t.
Holy moly, Crusader of Centy! So cool that the game is finally playable (legally and for less then 1k) again. Landstalker seeing a rerelease is also super sick.
Ooh a couple old action RPGs I never played. Definitely look into those.
Crusader of Centy!!!
It may be unfortunate that I have never heard of or played Landstalker and Crusader of Centy, but I do happen to be familiar with Shinobi and Ghouls 'n' Ghosts.
Landstalker! I was just looking it up to emulate it
WE WANT BUBSY
Download them yourself?
i know its not, but how cool would it be if they added the og version of revenge of shinobi with all the original references and spiderman
That's the version I had as a kid, and it was surprising even then to see other characters from Spiderman, Batman, and Godzilla show up.
It was like a fan made game. I'm curious to see what the changes are.
@@thinkhectorI actually have the first which includes the second form of Metamorpher being Batman
I checked the changes. All the characters are actually still there. No changes were made to the Incredible Hulk/Terminator.
SpiderMan is still SpiderMan, they just changed his color from red to pink. That's it.
Batman has been changed into looking more like a vampire. This change actually makes more sense, since the original "Batman" could fly and turn into a bat. I actually approve of this change.
Rambo is still in the game, but they removed his hair, so he is just bald. You wouldn't confuse him for Rambo anymore. A smart change.
Godzilla has been changed into a a skeleton version of himself with his guts showing. Honestly a pretty cool change.
I don't have any issues with these changes. They made some good decisions.
@thinkhector me neither. As for why Metamorpher was Spider-Man in the first versions before Version 1.04, this was because Sega was working with Marvel at the time who wanted to make Spider-Man video games (which in their case included the 1991 arcade brawler and the home game, Spider-Man Versus The Kingpin). Thing was that in version 1.00, Spidey was colored differently to look like an impostor. It wasn't until version 1.01 in which Metamorpher's Spider-Man colors were the real deal, though he was officially acknowledged in Version 1.02.
As for the vampire man that Metamorpher transforms into, he is known as Devilman who is a manga character who had an anime film based on the manga.
As for the flamethrower soldiers, while they were altered beginning in version 1.01, they are still known in the Japanese manual as Rocky.
As for the Hulk/Terminator boss, he had two names. In the Japanese version, he is known as Hercules, which is a likely reference to Hercules in New York which was one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's early films, whereas the English name is Master Attacker.
Wow this is quite the update
Ghouls N Ghosts and Strider were Capcom's finest arcade titles from '88-'89 to be ported on the Genesis, while the SNES had Final Fight and UN Squadron.
It's wild how much love the Genesis is getting with these updates. Need this commitment for the SNES games we get (Terranigma, Chrono Trigger, Illusion of Gaia, EVO Search for Eden, Soul Blazer, UN Squadron, Plok, etc.)
You are aware that especially third parties like to release their own retro collections, right?
Not saying that these couldn't come to the service, though.
@senselessmind8603 yeah that's why I didn't mention stuff that's been re-released like Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy IV-VI, Megaman, Contra, or Castlevania. I imagine that the ones I listed won't get re-released anytime soon.
Plok ❤
@@shadowhunter9976very single one of those game's you mentioned is owned by the same company save UN Squadron and Plok.
@bigduke5902 yeah but they're all single releases. Unless we suddenly get a Square SNES RPG collection (which believe me I'd be down for), I'd consider these games still on the table.
Wow, and I had just played The Revenge of Shinobi on Sega Genesis Classics. I think regarding the Genesis games that are on Nintendo Switch Online and Sega Genesis Classics, I'm gonna stick with the latter for those games since I want to beat all of the collection's challenges. This means Ghouls' N Ghosts and Crusader of Centy are games I can look forward to playing for my journey through every NSO game.
A lot of people say that the emulation on the Genesis Classics edition is poor because of input lag. Have you playing NSO Genesis games to Sega Classic back-to-back to confirm this?
@@thinkhector No I haven't and I have heard about the input lag in Sega Genesis Classics. Personally, I don't notice input lag that much and even so, I at least have a rewind feature in case I make a mistake with my timing. SGC also has a fast forward feature as well which I know sounds like a pointless extra but I think it will serve well for grinding & load screens in the RPG games.
Ghouls 'n Ghosts & Revenge of Shinobi got the Genesis off on the right foot. Landstalker makes me want a Dreamcast section for Timestalkers, aka Climax Landers.
Dude, Landstalker was the game I have been wanting to see on there the whole time. I am so happy now. Thank you Nintendo!!
Still waiting for the arcade-perfect Virtua Fighter games to come to Switch. I already have the "Sega Genesis Classics". 🤷♂️
This is why the Switch has nothing
@@knuclear200x Because people want more arcade ports on modern platforms?
@@SaltyToad00 This is why the Switch has nothing
I would love to see that as well, because the only way anyone can play the arcade version of Virtua fighter officially is via the original Astro City Mini
SEGA!!!
Talk about a gem collection. These are some of Sega's best from back in the day. Here's hoping for Chakan: The Forever Man and Quackshot to come in next.
crusader of centy and landstalker, it's the first time i want to play something from the genesis games on NSO+
Finally another way to hate Ghouls n Ghosts
Hey, without it, we wouldn’t have Sonic.
@@benmalsky9834 In some ways that is a bad thing sure but in other ways, it's also a good thing. Sonic is weird like that. Well not just Sonic but Sega as a whole really.
@@mattwo7 I wouldn’t think about it.
Ghouls n Ghosts is WAY easier to handle with rewinding and save states.
BANGERS!
It’s not banger until we see Barney Hide & Seek Game, McDonald’s Treasure Land Adventure, or Sonic & Knuckles in the Nintendo Switch Online service
@@ThisGuyDannyyyWere those first two a joke? Only Sonic & Knuckles has a chance of coming out of those three..
@ThisGuyDannyyy Doubt Sonic and Knuckles will come to NSO because of Origins.
Nintendo Direct disease is coming back in September 2023. Beware about that, RGT85. You should make an interview video with SwitchForce to ask why he is making too many clickbait videos?
@@DumuziTheOriginalGodIt doesn’t have a chance of coming to NSO, but McDonald’s Treasureland Adventure is legitimately very good, if a little short.
Here we go
Landstalker looks like a game you'd see on the TV in a cartoon
Is Mario Party 3 ever coming out on switch online???
I can appreciate this but I'd STILL prefer having Mario Party 3 on NSO at some point
And if they'd not make Harvest Moon 64 a Japanese exclusive that would be great
Wow they are all bangers!
Thank you for sharing the video. I can’t wait to see what you post next. See ya next time!
I just want the original Streets of Rage 😢
Patience, grasshopper
@@FallicIdol grasshopper? 😅
Me too
I want GameCube and dream cast games then I’d actually pay for the online
This is why the Switch has nothing
Those games need the remaster treatment like how Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime got. Modernized controls, HD resolution and quality of life improvements are a must
I want those too
those games are far too large for the NSO. Better off giving them ports or remasters anyways.
@@mr.awesome6011You think the N64 games look original?
The N64 games on original hardware ran below 30 frames a second, oftentimes averaging 15 frames.
The first game is known as Soleil over here. This was one of my favourite games on the Mega Drive / Genesis. 😊
Land Stalker is one of the most underrated games in history.
mario party 3
I couldn’t have said it better myself
Where’s DK 64?
Download it yourself?
Finally!
I’ve been waiting for Soleil and Landstalker to be added:)
Are you guys are ever going to added new games Sega Genesis again? Also where is Sonic 1?
Yeah as well as Streets of Rage 1
64 games?????
I want those too
