Two Namco classics join Nintendo Switch Online’s Game Boy Advance library


Two Namco classic Game Boy Advance games are joining the Nintendo Switch Online catalogue.


First up is Mr. Driller 2, the iconic puzzle game that started life as an arcade game before being ported to the GBA for the Japanese launch. It was later released worldwide, and was previously re-released for the Wii U Virtual Console.


The second is Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, a 2D platformer spin-off of the console games that began on the PS1. By comparison, it has more puzzle-like gameplay and introduced a new realm to the ongoing series.

Both games will be available from 25th September for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers with the Expansion Pack.


Earlier this month, Nintendo added an Easter egg to the Game Boy Advance app, which adds the classic bootup sequence if you twiddle the analogue stick.


And at last week’s Nintendo Direct, the company announced Virtual Boy games will be coming to Switch Online too, along with a dedicated accessory to play them in 3D – it comes in both plastic and cardboard varieties.
