Tomorrow, the Nintendo Switch Online service kicks off, and although some folks are wondering about the quality of some of its features, there is one that will appeal to old-school fans -- 8-bit NES games. And now we know which ones will be coming to the service.

The schedule of games that will be available over the next few months has been revealed, and, as expected, there will be a rotation of new games each month, including classics from Nintendo and third-party companies like Capcom and Konami.

What's more, these won't just be ROMs of older games. Nintendo has confirmed that the games will playable in HD, even though you probably won't notice too much of a difference with the 8-bit style graphics.
