Earthworm Jim 2 comes to Nintendo Switch Online Play like it's 1996. News by Victoria Kennedy News reporter Updated on 31 Mar 2022 25 comments Nintendo has announced three new Switch Online games for March, and they include the 90's run and gun platformer Earthworm Jim 2. Not many could slow their fall from a great height by ballooning out huge quantities of snot to make some kind of bogey-chute, but Earthworm Jim could. Now, he is back once more, thanks to this recent update from Nintendo. Earthworm Jim 2 can be played through the Nintendo Switch Online's SNES app. Watch on YouTube In addition to this piece of nostalgia, both Dig Dug 2 and Mappy-Land are also available to play through, this time via the Switch's NES app. In Dig Dug 2 players take on the role of Taizo Hori, as they try and rid islands of various monsters. To do this, Taizo can either use a pump to inflate enemies until they burst, or use a jackhammer to create faults in the ground and ultimately sink large parts of the island into the sea. Meanwhile, in Mappy-Land players become a mouse who must collect items while subsequently avoiding enemies. These classic #SuperNES and #NES games are now available for Nintendo Switch Online members!
