In Tuff E Nuff, four champions challenge a great tower. Players have to climb up the tower to fight Jade, the self-proclaimed Fighting King. The title also contains instant-replay.
The last title in the list, Nightshade, stars Mark Gray. Gray becomes Nightshade as he fights Sutekh, who has corrupted his home of Metro City. The game contains a combination of point-and-click and action gameplay.
Nintendo Switch Online is a subscription-based service. Players can either purchase a monthly subscription or save a small amount by purchasing a yearly subscription.
