More Game Boy Advance Games Are Coming to Nintendo Switch Online

by

Old-school video games are becoming popular again, especially with the rise of gaming subscription services. Nintendo has announced that more Game Boy Advance games will be added to its Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass service starting September 25th. This service already lets players enjoy a wide range of classic games on their Nintendo Switch, and the next update will feature some unexpected titles from beloved, but often overlooked, game series.

Nintendo has been adding classic games from older consoles like the NES, SNES, and N64 to its Nintendo Switch Online service, calling this collection “Nintendo Classics.” Now, fans who enjoy these retro games will be surprised and excited to see two Game Boy Advance titles added, giving them a chance to play as some memorable, though perhaps not as famous, heroes from gaming’s past.

Game Boy Advance Games Coming to Nintendo Switch Online on September 25

  • Klonoa: Empire of Dreams
  • Mr. Driller 2

Starting September 25, 2025, Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass members will gain access to classic games like *Klonoa: Empire of Dreams* and *Mr. Driller 2*. *Klonoa: Empire of Dreams* is the fourth installment in the popular *Klonoa* series, and offers a different gameplay style than the main games – it’s a 2D side-scrolling adventure that tells a side story. *Mr. Driller 2* is a puzzle game where you break blocks, and it includes both single-player and two-player modes. While these games weren’t huge hits when they first came out on Game Boy Advance, *Klonoa* and *Mr. Driller* have remained fan favorites, and many gamers are excited to play them again on Nintendo Switch Online.

Shortly before announcing the return of *Klonoa: Empire of Dreams* and *Mr. Driller 2*, Nintendo surprised everyone by revealing that the Virtual Boy will be available on Nintendo Switch Online in 2026. With the growing library of classic games on the service, and this unexpected addition, fans are hoping for even more beloved retro titles – both big names and hidden gems – to be added in the future.

While they didn’t make a huge splash when they first came out, adding games like *Klonoa: Empire of Dreams* and *Mr. Driller 2* to Nintendo Switch Online lets players both old and new enjoy classic gaming. It’s still unclear if the recent Game Boy Advance additions signal what kind of games will be added to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack in the future, so fans who are interested should keep an eye out for more announcements about upcoming games for the NSO catalog.
