Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball, Shining Force II, and Space Harrier II are pretty terrific Genesis additions to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, all things considered. Last month, the service added Alien Soldier, Super Fantasy Zone, and Light Crusader. Meanwhile, the most recent addition on the Nintendo 64 front is Mario Golf.
