New retro games on Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo Switch Online’s NES and SNES apps have been updated with a trio of retro games. The Super Nintendo app now has Rival Turf! and Congo’s Caper. Meanwhile, the NES app has been updated with Pinball.

Since first releasing on NES, Pinball has been made available in a number of different formats. Of the two SNES games, Rival Turf! is certainly the more well-known. The game offers beat-‘em-up action similar to titles like Final Fight.

Congo’s Caper is a 2D platformer that’s loosely connected to Joe & Mac. This is an exciting inclusion, particularly since it hasn’t been made available outside of its original release on the SNES.

New series Baymax! On Disney+

Disney+ is giving a glimpse of the new series Baymax!, a spinoff of the 2014 film Big Hero 6. The new show follows healthcare companion robot Baymax’s attempts to help others in the fantastical city of San Fransokyo.

“In each of our six episodes, Baymax just wants to help someone — and a lot of times they don’t want to be helped. He sets out to fix a physical issue that he’s identified, and in the process, gets to a deeper, more emotional place and can be almost transformative in that role,” said series creator Don Hall.

Scott Adsit returns as the voice of Baymax. Baymax! premieres June 29 on Disney+.
