The update for April 2019 brings things back to how they started. Both NES and Famicom get the same number of games. Still, though, there’s an important difference in Kid Icarus.
Below is the list of games added to the NES app:
- Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
- Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
- Star Soldier
- (SP) Kid Icarus (starts off in the final level with everything powered up)
And here’s the list of games added on the Family Computer – Nintendo Switch Online app.
- Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (aka, Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan)
- Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
- Star Soldier
- (SP) Kid Icarus (Famicom Disk version – Same start as above)
As expected, Kid Icarus in Japan is based on the Famicom Disk version. Besides the difference in sounds, though, there’s a huge difference in gameplay as well. The final level in the Japanese version is not an auto-scrolling one, but one where you can actually move the screen at your own pace. Also, you need to press the A button if you want to keep flying.
