Nintendo launches four new free games, including a Zelda and Metroid title, as well as a new ‘Mature’ app

NINTENDO periodically adds new classic games to its apps that people can play for free.

Unlike other subscription services, games are rarely removed from Nintendo Switch Online, but the library frequently expands.

Four games have just been added to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, which is the most expensive tier of Nintendo Switch Online.

Two games are joining the Game Boy Advance library, from The Legend of Zelda and Metroid series.

The first game is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past – Four Swords, a cooperative adventure in the Zelda series.

Up to four people can play together to solve environmental puzzles, complete dungeons and defeat bosses.

The next game is Metroid: Mission Zeroa remake of the original Metroid game released for the NES.

Metroid didn’t become popular as a series until the success of Super Metroid, so fewer people had the chance to check out the original game.

The latter two games are part of the Nintendo 64 library and are being added to a new Mature app.

Perfect Dark is the first game on the list and is a first-person shooter that rivaled GoldenEye 007 when it was released.

You play as Joanna Dark, an agent trying to take down an alien conspiracy.

The end game is Turok: dinosaur hunter is the latest game added to Nintendo Switch Online and is another first-person shooter.

Turok is known for its fast-paced gameplay where you defeat dinosaurs instead of humans.

Here is the full list of games that were added to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack in June:

• Game Boy Advance
  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past – Four Swords
  • Metroid: Mission Zero
• Nintendo 64 – Mature
  • Perfect Dark
  • Turok: dinosaur hunter
