Nintendo has revealed three more SNES and NES games available on Nintendo Switch Online from today, March 31.

First up is 1995’s Earthworm Jim 2 for the Super NES. The earthworm in his super-suit returns for another intergalactic platforming adventure in this sequel. There’s an expanded arsenal of weapons, new moves and Jim also has a new buddy in the form of a living green Snot. Your pal can be used stick to things, or be used as a parachute.

Next up is another sequel in the form of Dig Dug II. This one takes quite the departure from its more famous forebear, with a top down view. Rather than digging down, you must exploit a series of faults on the ground to send pieces of a floating island into the sea, along with the enemies standing on them. Finally, 1988’s Mappy Land is a classic side scrolling platformer. You play a mouse named Mappy who must grab collectibles on each level and avoid the enemies.

All three games can be found in their respective SNES and NES libraries on your console through Nintendo Switch Online. You can check out a video for all three games below. The most recent addition to the console’s SNES library came in a surprise drop of Earthbound back in February following that month’s Nintendo Direct.
