One Of Nintendo’s Weirder Games Is Coming To Switch Online This Month

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Nintendo is dropping Wario Land 4 on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on February 14. The weird Game Boy Advance platformer sees the gassy antihero turning into Zombie Wario and Bouncy Wario–just a couple of the transformations–as he explores a golden pyramid for the riches inside.

Wario Land 4 originally debuted in 2001 as an early title for Game Boy Advance. It’s actually the fifth mainline Wario platformer in the series when taking into account Virtual Boy Wario Land. Additionally, Wario Land 4 arrived before the WarioWare franchise even existed.

In late 2011, Wario Land 4 was one of 10 Game Boy Advance titles given away as part of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program. People who bought the handheld system in the first few months, before a huge price cut, ended up receiving 20 free downloadable games.

Last week, Nintendo brought Ridge Racer 64 to the Expansion Pack tier for the subscription service. Meanwhile, the standard Switch Online tier saw the additions of Fatal Fury 2 and a couple of SNES hidden gems last month.

Nintendo Switch Online costs $20 annually for individuals ($35 for families), offering online play and access to classic libraries for NES, SNES, and Game Boy. The Expansion Pack plan goes for $50 yearly for individuals ($80 for families), offering extras like DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and access to titles for Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis.
