Nintendo has added four more Sega Mega Drive games to its Nintendo Switch Online service, including classic platformer Comix Zone.

Subscribers to the Expansion Pack tier can now download Comix Zone, Target Earth, Zero Wing & Mega Man: The Wily Wars. The first of these is probably the most famous, as a side-scrolling brawler from 1995. Playing as Sketch Turner, you’re a comic book artist who finds themselves in their own comic. Trapped there by the very villain Sketch helped create, you’ll have to battle your way through a hostile animated world.

Next up is the game Zero Wing which originally arrived in the arcades in 1990. However, the sci-fi shoot-em-up is perhaps more well known for its Mega Drive cutscenes. Indeed, the Sega Mega Drive version is the origin of the infamous ‘All Your Base Are Belong To Us’ meme, so there’s a little touch of internet history there too.

We round off this quartet with run and gun shooter Target Earth, originally released in 1990. Finally, this drop includes Mega Man: The Wily Wars, Capcom’s 1994 remakes of the first three Mega Man games and new (at the time) entry Wily Tower.  Check out a trailer for all four Sega Mega Drive games down below.
