Kid Icarus and StarTropics Coming to Nintendo Switch Online in March

This evening, Nintendo announced the next two classic NES games coming to Nintendo Switch Online as we're getting Kid Icarus and StarTropics. These are two titles that will stir up some awesome memories for people, first with Kid Icarus being an absolute overlooked classic platformer that modern gamers would primarily know for playing Pit on Smash Bros. Meanwhile, Star Tropics was an adventure game released in 1990 when the NES was just rolling out hit after hit just before the SNES came around, where you have to save your uncle who has been kidnapped on an island. We have both of the games' descriptions below as they will be added to the Nintendo Switch Online library on March 13th.

Kid Icarus – 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.

StarTropics – Step into the shoes of Mike Jones, a teenage star pitcher from Seattle, who has come to the tropics to visit his famous archaeologist 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's submarine.
