    Three more Sega Genesis games have been added to the Switch.

    Looking for a way to vent some frustrations this weekend? Nintendo has added the classic 1991 beat ‘em up Streets of Rage to the Switch Online Expansion Pack so you can help rescue Wood Oak City from Mr. X’s criminal organization.

    Also added today are 1988’s helicopter-based shoot ‘em up Super Thunder Blade, and the side-scroller ESWAT: City Under Siege that originally debuted on the Genesis in 1990.
