Meanwhile, theKunio-Kunseriesmay be familiar to classic gamers, as many consider it to be where theDouble Dragonfranchise gets its roots. However, the title being added is a dodgeball-based sports game that was released way back in 1993 in Japan. As with previously added Japan-exclusive titles, Nintendo Switch Online looks to have ported the game as is, so fans may be disappointed in the non-English text included. However, with how easy to pick up and play many of theseKuniotitles are, it might not be a problem for interested players.
