Blaster Master and Zelda II Coming To Switch’s NES Library On January 16th

The Nintendo Switch’s ever-growing library for classic NES titles will continue to grow next week, as Blaster Master and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link arrive on the console on January 16th. Check out the announcement trailer for the two additions to the Switch NES library below:

Blaster Master was originally released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988, and is a run and gun platformer. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was released in 1987, and was a drastic change of pace from its predecessor. The game featured 2D sidescrolling and roleplaying elements such as gaining XP.

These two NES titles and many others can be accessed on the Nintendo Switch with a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Switch owners can also purchase NES controllers from the Nintendo website here.
