Nintendo announced two new games will be coming to the Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and Blaster Master will be added on January 16.

View a trailer of the games below:


Here is an overview of the games:

Blaster Master: 

It’s panic or perish as you blast through an endless maze of tunnels, seeking secret passages for an escape. Destroy the Plutonium Boss and his mutant cronies before these warlords destroy the earth. Load up your arsenal, and get ready for the final encounter!

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: 

Link returns to Hyrule to search for the Triforce and to awaken Zelda from an endless sleep. Embark on a quest to find the Triforce of Courage and save Hyrule from ruin. Learn magic spells, talk to people in towns to get clues, collect items to increase your power and explore six palaces where the underlings of the evil Ganon await you.

Where are the eShop discounts, Nintendo? Where is the use for silver coins for Switch products? Where are the rest of the retro backlog from SNES onwards?

2 great additions, but it's sad that it's only 2 games. Nintendo, we need moar!

Would we even be able to keep these VC titles available for the future Nintendo consoles on our Nintendo account? Or is this another rebuy scheme?

It's a subscription service like PS Now so you don't actually own them.

Oh, and since Nintendo seems to bring out easier versions later on, I expect a Zelda II in February or March with maxed-out stats for Link, but no items or spells in his possession at start.
