Fatal Fury holds the record as the first video game to introduce both the first Korean and first Taekwondo character in a fighting game. It also introduced several female video game characters whose popularity has grown over the years. Its addition to Nintendo Switch Online will be nostalgic for those who grew up with the game.
Super Ninja Boy was developed by Culture Brain and released on Super Famicom and SNES in the same year as the first Fatal Fury but didn’t come to North America until 1993. The RPG featured randomized levels and battles with a few platforming sections.
Super Ninja Boy can be played solo or with a friend. The main character is Jack but a second player can join as Ryu. It was one of the foremost games that used a password system to record progress.
The most recent of the three games coming to Nintendo Switch Online is Shutte Hakkun. Developed by Nintendo R&D2 and Indieszero, the 1997 action puzzle game features a character that looks like a duck. It was released on Super Famicom. It later received three updates with new puzzles.
