I recently decided to subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online, so I can play the NES games included in the service.
When I launched the NES Nintendo Switch Online app, I noticed that some games were listed twice, such as Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, and more. The duplicate appears to have a "SP Special" logo on top of the game's cover art.
Pictured: Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden SP.
But what exactly does the "SP" do? What's the difference between SP and non-SP?

These are "special", modified versions of the games.
How they differ from the original, unmodified version depends on the game.
To find out what's changed, select the game with X (Details) to see an information window.
In Metroid SP, for instance, you start at the battle against Ridley with all of your equipment, including the Ice Beam weapon.
