Most of them are not new games, but they do give you some new options for your Breath of the Wild machine.
Most of the games are ports of classic NeoGeo games, but Voez and Blaster Master Zero represent (sort of) new games. Voez is a rhythm game that released on mobile devices last year and Blaster Master Zero is a remake of sorts of the NES Blaster Master with additional content not seen in the original.
Here's the full list of games and their prices that were added to Switch today.
- Voez - $25.00

Our Take
Happy to see all these NeoGeo games on Switch, but what makes these different from the Virtual Console? It's a confusing thing. I never played played the original Blaster Master, which makes Zero about the most attractive game of this bunch for me.
