Nintendo adds three NES games to Switch Online, bringing the western catalog to 87 titles

Ninja Gaiden 3, Ikari Warriors, and RC Pro-Am 2 have been added to the Nintendo Classics catalog available through the Nintendo Switch Online service in the West, according to Video Games Chronicle. With the three additions, the NES portion of the catalog in the region now stands at 87 titles.

Each of the games is associated with established franchises that remain active. Ninja Gaiden 3 continues the side-scrolling action series that has been published under Tecmo's label in past entries, while Ikari Warriors extends a run-and-gun franchise that originated on the NES and arcade. RC Pro-Am 2 follows the original RC Pro-Am, a racing title previously made available on the Nintendo Classics lineup.

All three releases are tied to the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, through which Nintendo has been expanding the NES offering as part of its broader retro catalog. The latest additions are positioned as straightforward catalog updates rather than re-releases or remasters, and the source notes the new total only applies to the western release region.

Beyond the updated count of 87 NES titles in the West, no further details such as pricing, patch notes, online features, or release timing beyond the announcement were provided in the source material.
