News: Two new games are hitting Nintendo’s Online service next week.

Nintendo has revealed the next titles that are getting ready to arrive on their online service. These classic NES games, which range from big titles like Super Mario Bros. 3 to some lesser known titles like Pro Wrestling, have been enhanced with online features, including multiplayer on select titles.

On January 16th two more titles will arrive with Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and Blaster Master. A brief premise of both is below:

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

Link returns to Hyrule to search for the Triforce and to awaken Zelda from an endless sleep. You will 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.

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.

Check out the trailers below so you can get a small glimpse into these classic titles. If you don’t currently subscribe to the Nintendo Online service you can do so for $20 a year and, in addition to a library of classic games, you also get access to cloud saves so you can back up your save game files.
