Nintendo Switch Online Delivers Long-Awaited Classic GBA Game!

Highlights

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, a beloved Game Boy Advance game acclaimed for its Metroidvania gameplay and multiplayer compatibility, has become part of Nintendo's Expansion Pack tier on the Switch Online service.

Expansion Pack subscribers not only have access to major DLC, but also to various games such as Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and a selection of Game Boy Advance titles. Although the lineup of games is nearly finalized, fans impatiently anticipate the inclusion of three Nintendo 64 games, with the possibility of further announcements in the future.

Nintendo has recently released an update for its Nintendo Switch Online subscription service. This update specifically applies to the Expansion Pack tier, which now grants gamers the opportunity to play the classic Game Boy Advance game Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. While the base Switch Online service costs $19.99 per year, the Expansion Pack tier requires a higher fee of $49.99 per year. However, for avid fans of retro games, this upgraded tier proves to be well worth the added cost.

Subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack can enjoy numerous benefits. Not only do they have access to major DLC for free, but they can also play Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy Advance games. Additionally, Nintendo consistently updates the library of games available through the Expansion Pack, ensuring that subscribers always have a fresh selection to explore.

The latest addition to the Switch Online Expansion Pack is Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, a well-received Game Boy Advance game originally released in 2004. It distinguishes itself from other Kirby games through its Metroidvania gameplay and multiplayer capabilities. Like the rest of the Switch Online games, multiplayer functionality for Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is still intact.

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is the newest Game Boy Advance game to be included in the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. It is preceded by 12 other GBA games, such as The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, and Fire Emblem. In the future, Nintendo plans to add at least two more Game Boy Advance games to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, with F-Zero: Maximum Velocity and Golden Sun already confirmed for the lineup.

Nintendo has almost fulfilled its promise of adding all the games to the service, with the exception of three Nintendo 64 games: 1080 Snowboarding, Harvest Moon 64, and Mario Party 3. Fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of these games. However, it is possible that Nintendo may add more Nintendo 64 and GBA games to the Switch Online Expansion Pack in the future, so fans should stay tuned for further announcements.
