6 Can’t-Miss Sega Genesis Games on Nintendo Switch Online

The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack is upon us, and with it comes a bucketload of classic games added to the service. Not only is Nintendo’s own N64 library getting added to the lineup, but a selection of games for the Sega Genesis are also making their way to the online platform. These aren’t just some random picks, either – they represent some of the finest experiences that Nintendo’s former arch-rival had to offer.

If you’re digging into the Sega Genesis library for the first time, make sure you start with the titles on this list to ensure you experience the best Sega Genesis games on Nintendo Switch Online. Arranged in alphabetical order, these are the six best Sega games you can play in the NSO Expansion Pack.

Also, note that this list won’t cover perhaps the most obvious game to play on Nintendo’s expanded online service–Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The Blue Blur’s sophomore outing is already available on nearly every other platform on the market (with three separate ways to play the game on Switch alone), so if you haven’t delved into this landmark platformer just yet, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot–then return to this list to decide what to play next.
