Psycho Dream and Shin Megami Tensei II join February Nintendo Switch online games

Nintendo will add new SNES, NES, Super Famicom and Famicom titles to its online services in a Nintendo Switch Online update in February. The North American and Japanese versions of the app will receive three SNES / SFC games and one NES / Famicom game. Updates for both apps will arrive on February 17, 2021.

Continuing its trend for unexpected titles, Nintendo Switch Online’s February update will feature plenty of obscure games. North America will get Psycho Dream, Warrior of the end of the world, and Prehistoric man on the SNES. As for the unique NES game, the service will add Fire and ice, also known as Key of Solomon 2. One of the highlights here is Psycho Dream, a forgotten gem of an action platformer with imaginative visuals and a sci-fi concept. It only appeared in Japan before its inclusion here.

Here’s Nintendo’s video showcasing the North American additions.

Nintendo Switch Online’s February update to the Japanese app will be quite different. The Super Famicom will get Psycho Dream too, but subscribers will also receive Shin Megami Tensei II and Super Mario Picross. The Famicom title will be the same as the North America update: Key of Solomon 2. The highlight of Super Famicom is definitely Shin Megami Tensei II. The newly added title is the second game in the Megami Tensei series on the Japanese application.

Here is Nintendo’s video showing the Japanese additions.

Finally, Nintendo has uploaded a separate video in Japanese with secrets and tips. If players follow the steps, they can easily access the step selection menu in Psycho Dream and merge demons together more efficiently Shin Megami Tensei II. In addition, there are puzzles hidden in Super Mario Picross and secret challenges in Key of Solomon 2.

Here’s the video, which should be pretty easy for non-Japanese to follow, thanks to the visuals.

The next Nintendo Switch Online update in February will go live on February 17, 2021. As a reminder, the previous December update added games like Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble and The ignition factor.
