Nintendo revealed Wario Land 4 as the latest game coming to Nintendo Switch Online. It will be added to the Game Boy Advance library as part of the Expansion Pack subscription on February 14, 2025.
In Wario Land 4, players take Wario through a pyramid in the jungle in search of treasure. Wario travels through the pyramid’s four passages in search of jewels, hoping to uncover the Golden Diva at the heart of it all. The game is mainly a 2D platformer where you use Wario’s various abilities to bash through walls and roll through small spaces. Wario can also transform into other forms, such as a bat or a snowball, or he can inflate when stung by a bee, allowing him to float around. There are also minigames such as a baseball game and an endless runner.
Wario Land 4 first released for the Game Boy Advance in 2001 and is the fourth of Wario’s adventures since his debut in Super Mario Land 2 on the original Game Boy. Developers of the indie games Pizza Tower and Antonblast have both cited the game as a major inspiration. Prior to the Nintendo Switch Online release, Wario Land 4 had also appeared on the 3DS and Wii U Virtual Consoles. Its predecessor, Wario Land 3, was one of the first Game Boy game released for Nintendo Switch Online.
The previous games added to the GBA library on Nintendo Switch Online were the F-Zerospin-off games, F-Zero: GP Legend and F-Zero Climax, which both released in October 2024.
Wario Land 4 will be available to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers on February 14, 2025.
