The Switch Online NES collection has been updated to Version 1.2.0, and it brings us 4 new NES titles. The lineup includes Metroid, Mighty Bomb Jack, TwinBee and Gradius SP. We knew the first three were coming, but Gradius SP was a surprise addition. Gradius SP gives you a fully powered-up Vic Viper and plops you down into the 5th stage of the game.
Over in Japan, Gradius SP has been swapped out for Mario Open Golf SP. No word on whether that will see release outside of Japan at this time.
