The Nintendo Switch's library just got a lot bigger with some very welcome titles, building on the small but noteworthy lineup at launch, which includes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and 1-2-Switch, to name a few.
Without further ado, the games coming to the Switch are Blaster Master Zero, VOEZ, and a slew of NeoGeo titles such as Metal Slug 3, Nam-1975, Shock Troopers, The King of Fighters '98, Waku Waku 7, and World Heroes Perfect. That all boils down to a total of 8.
To get a better picture of what's in store, here's a quick look at the games:
'Blaster Master Zero'
If you've played the 1988 Blaster Master for the NES, then you probably have an idea of what Blaster Master Zero is bringing to the table.
In other words, it's basically the same thing as the original, but a couple of new elements have been added in, including new areas and bosses, better gameplay, and more. Also, it has a co-op mode, supporting up to two players.
It comes with a $9.99 price tag, and it should be pointed out that it's available to 3DS owners too.
The subterranean adventure begins! Blaster Master Zero is now available on Switch and 3DS!

'VOEZ'
You've probably heard about the rhythm game VOEZ since it's one of the Switch games that were designed to be playable only in handheld mode. To explain, you need the touch-screen to play it, and that means it's just hard to play it properly in kickstand mode and particularly impossible in TV mode when it's docked.
At any rate, if those restrictions aren't enough to deter you from it, VOEZ is up for grabs at $25.
ACA NeoGeo Games
Just like Blaster Master Zero, the ACA NeoGeo lineup for the Switch consists of old-school games, and there are six of them, to be exact.
As mentioned earlier, the series is composed of Metal Slug 3, Nam-1975, Shock Troopers, The King of Fighters '98, Waku Waku 7, and World Heroes Perfect.
For a blast from the past, you just have to fork over $7.99 for each title.
Other Switch News
It's also worth mentioning that Jeff Grubb of VentureBeat discovered that the games you buy from the Japanese Switch eShop are carried over to the U.S. version.
What happened was he bought Blaster Master Zero from the Japanese eShop with a Japanese Nintendo account, and when the game rolled out to the U.S. store, he didn't need to purchase it anymore with his U.S. account.
That seems like it spells good news all the way, but it might mean that eShop purchases are primarily linked to the consoles instead of the account. In other words, when you use another Switch, you might not see the games you availed.
With all said and done, what do you think of the games Nintendo is launching to expand the Switch lineup? Feel free to hit us up in the comments section below and let us know.
