Nintendo has added Metal Slug Advance (2004), Monster Rancher Advance (2001) and Kururin Paradise (2002) to its Game Boy Advance Nintendo Classics app for Switch Online + Expansion Pack members on Switch and Switch 2, with the previously Japan-only Kururin Paradise reaching North American and European players for the first time.
Metal Slug Advance is SNK's 2004 run-and-gun entry in its long-running Metal Slug series. Monster Rancher Advance is a life-simulation spin-off from Tecmo that first released in Japan in December 2001 before arriving in North America in 2002. Kururin Paradise is a 2002 puzzle game from developer Eighting and the sequel to Kuru Kuru Kururin, which launched in 2001. The title never released outside Japan, and Nintendo Everything reports that the update makes it available to players in North America and Europe for the first time.
Nintendo added Mario vs. Donkey Kong to the Game Boy Advance library in March and Dr. Mario & Puzzle League in July. Three more NES and Famicom titles joined the service in September. Game Boy Advance games first came to Switch Online in February 2023 as part of the Expansion Pack tier, which also carries Nintendo 64 and Sega Mega Drive libraries.

I’ve been obsessed with tech for as long as I can remember, so much so that I’ve become the unofficial "tech support" for my entire family. Whether it’s fixing gadgets, explaining specs, or recommending the best buys, I love breaking down tech for everyday people. That passion led me to writing about tech. When I’m not testing gadgets or writing reviews, you’ll probably find me hiking or doom-scrolling car listings (still hunting for my first ride, wish me luck, lol).
