You can find descriptions for both of these titles below:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Kid Icarus \u2013 The evil goddess Medusa has stolen the Three Sacred Treasures and imprisoned the goddess of light, Palutena, in her evil plot to control all. Play as Pit, a young angel who has been entrusted with a magical bow and arrow. Fight against hordes of enemies that swoop from above and below. Secure the Three Sacred Treasures from their evil guardians, equip them, and face Medusa in the final battle! Are you the stuff of legends? Restore peace to Angel Land, and prove your worth!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>StarTropics \u2013 Step into the shoes of Mike Jones, a teenage star pitcher from Seattle, who has come to the tropics to visit his famous archeologist uncle, Dr. Jones. After being told that his uncle has been abducted, Mike begins a perilous quest in order to rescue him and figure out the mysterious plot behind his disappearance. Luckily for Mike, he meets helpful villagers and finds more powerful weapons as he explores numerous locations and island hops using his uncle\u2019s submarine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>As always, though, we&#8217;ve been treated to more than just the new full games. Two more SP edition titles have arrived in the app, this time for <strong><a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nes\/kirbys_adventure\">Kirby&#8217;s Adventure<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nes\/zelda_ii_the_adventure_of_link\"><strong>Zelda II: The Adventure of Link<\/strong><\/a>. We&#8217;ve copied out the descriptions for each of these special variants for you below, too:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Kirby&#8217;s Adventure:<\/strong> In this special adventure of Kirby\u2019s Adventure, you can start playing through the difficult Extra Game right away. This mode is usually available only after beating the game once. Aside from that, the Sound Test is available right away too! You can press the B Button to stop a song from playing, but the Kirby soundtrack always has a way of getting stuck in your head, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Zelda II:<\/strong> Start this version of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link with your Attack, Magic, and Life all maxed out at level eight! You won\u2019t start with any items, but you\u2019ll be able to use all that magic to plow through your enemies with a souped-up Link. Clear the six palaces to take on the Great Palace and win back the Triforce of Courage. Quiz time! Do you know which town names in this game appear as key characters in a different game within the Legend of Zelda series?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;re not sure why the games have all appeared today rather than in tomorrow&#8217;s usual and already-promised slot, but we won&#8217;t complain.<\/p>\n<p><em>Will you be jumping into any of these games today? Let us know in the comments.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ku6E5QxDnVY?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1&#038;w=900&#038;h=507] In a surprise turn of events, the NES Switch Online app has updated one day earlier than expected, meaning you can now play March&#8217;s new offerings by updating the software.
