Oh, the nugget that's coming to Nintendo Switch! Subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack service will be able to (re)play Wario Land 4, available from February 14, 2025 in the GameBoy Advance library. This cult platform game, originally released in 2001, features Wario exploring the mysterious Golden Pyramid, where he must face a variety of enemies and obstacles to capture numerous treasures.
"Wario, the king of loot, has discovered his biggest coup yet! A fabulous golden pyramid filled with riches! The problem is, its inhabitants don't intend to give up their treasures so easily... but that's never stopped Wario! In Wario Land 4, our loot-hungry hero is no longer invincible, unlike in his previous platform adventures. He can, however, undergo incredible transformations to help him in his quest, such as metamorphosing into Wario Vampire, Wario Bouncing or even Wario Zombie!".
The fifth opus in the series, despite its title, Wario Land 4 follows the adventures of Nintendo's famous anti-hero, known for his greed and eccentric transformations. The game features several unique mechanics, allowing Wario to transform into a zombie, burst into flames or inflate like a balloon after being stung by bees. Each level is designed to blend exploration, platforming and puzzles, while incorporating a time-trial system to leave the stages before the exit doors collapse.
Thanks to its colorful graphic style and accessible gameplay, Wario Land 4 is considered a GameBoy Advance classic. Its addition to the Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack catalog allows subscribers to rediscover or discover this iconic title. To accompany this release, an official trailer has been unveiled.
