Star Fox 2 and 5 more free games coming to Nintendo Switch
![][1]
Having been originally cancelled, Star Fox 2 was finally released in 2017 as part of the [SNES Classic Mini][2] line-up. And was exclusive to that retro console. Until now, that is.
[Nintendo][3] is releasing it on one of its actual, full-fledged consoles for the first time on 12 December, and for free.
It will be part of the free Super NES and NES games line-up available to [Nintendo Switch Online][4] subscribers.
Also being added to the list are fellow SNES titles Super Punch-Out!!!, Kirby Super Star and Breath of Fire II. Two fairly obscure NES games will also become available: Crystalis and Journey to Silius.
In addition to the latest wave of free games, Nintendo will reportedly reduce the price of its Switch-compatible wireless NES controllers very soon.
In the US, they will be dropped to $30 from their usual price of $59.99 for two. We're yet to hear if UK Nintendo fans will be offered a similar deal.
Sadly, there is no news on availability of the SNES equivalent gamepad, which sold out almost the minute it arrived earlier this year.
[Nintendo's US website][5] just says, "Please check back for more news in January 2020."
You can still happily play all the SNES and NES titles using the existing Joy-Cons on Switch and Switch Lite, of course.
