Nintendo’s just announced the new NES games that will be coming to its Nintendo Switch Online this month, with Super Mario Bros 2 and Kirby’s Adventure slated for US and EU subscribers.
Super Mario Bros 2, the Mario game famous for not feeling very much like a Mario game because of course it wasn’t a Mario game at first, joins Super Mario Bros 1 and 3, while Kirby’s Adventure, the second game in the series, marks the first time Masahiro Sakurai’s little pink mascot has made it to the service.
Perhaps most importantly, Super Mario Bros. 2 was the video game debut of none other than Birdo, perhaps Nintendo’s greatest creation to date. Who is Birdo? Well, I’m glad you asked, and meanwhile I’m wondering whether this could mark the beginning of the year of Birdo. Fingers crossed!
