Nintendo Switch Online April Additions Include 3 NES Classics

The Nintendo Switch Online classic games catalog has today been updated with three more titles, including arcade favorite Pac-Man.

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can access the three new (or rather, old) titles via the Nintendo Classics NES app now, and play Pac-Man, Mendel Palace and The Tower of Druaga.

Pac-Man needs little introduction, as this is the classic experience from the yellow hero’s arcade days. Chomp pellets, avoid ghosts, and gobble up Power Pellets to turn the tide. Should you risk getting all the fruit too? Yes, yes, you should.

Mendel Palace, meanwhile, is a puzzle game originally released in 1989 by a small team known as Game Freak — yes, the same developer that would later go on to make Pokémon, a franchise you’re more likely to have heard of. Mendel Palace is an unsurprisingly simpler affair, which asks you to flip panels to ward off enemies and activate special effects.

Last but not least is The Tower of Druaga, the Namco action RPG originally released in arcades all the way back in 1984. Amusingly, the game has been described as a “fantasy Pac-Man”, with knights, wizards and locked doors arranged in somewhat similar-looking mazes. Can you reach the tower’s top?

Anything take your fancy? If not, IGN has a full list of every other game already available via the Nintendo Switch Online classic game catalog, across every platform from Game Boy to GameCube.
