Nintendo Expands Switch Online’s GBA Library With Three More Titles
Nintendo has expanded its Switch Online service with three additional Game Boy Advance titles added to the Nintendo Classics collection. The new games include Monster Rancher Advance, a 2001 life-simulation spin-off by Tecmo; Metal Slug Advance, SNK’s 2004 run-and-gun action title; and Kururin Paradise, a puzzle game by Eighting from 2002 that was originally released only in Japan.
Kururin Paradise marks a notable addition as a Japan-exclusive title being made available internationally through the service, serving as a sequel to the 2001 original Kuru Kuru Kururin. The simultaneous release of these three titles across both Western and Japanese markets underscores Nintendo’s ongoing effort to systematically expand its classic Game Boy Advance library on the subscription service.
This update continues Nintendo’s strategy of leveraging the Nintendo Classics section of Switch Online to preserve and distribute older gaming titles from across Nintendo’s hardware history, making previously console-exclusive games accessible to modern audiences through the subscription platform.
