Wario Land 4 is coming to Switch Online’s GBA library next week
Wario’s critically acclaimed platformer arrives on Switch on Valentine’s Day
Wario Land 4 is the latest Game Boy Advance game headed to Switch Online.
As announced by Nintendo, the 2001 platformer will be released on Switch Online’s GBA app on February 14.
The final handheld game in the Wario Land series, Wario Land 4 sees Wario sneaking into a newly discovered Golden Pyramid to try and steal its treasure.
Wario gets lost and has to make his way out while also dealing with the evil Golden Diva, the ruler of the pyramid.
While previous Wario Land games made its protagonist almost entirely invincible, Wario Land 4 introduces a health bar, meaning players need to be more careful when controlling him.
As in the previous games, however, Wario can deliberately take hits from enemies to gain their special abilities.
Wario Land 4 will be the 24th Game Boy Advance game to be made available on Switch Online in the West.

The last additions before this were back in October, when F-Zero: GP Legend and the previously Japan-only release F-Zero Climax were added to the library.
Before this, the first three games in the Legendary Starfy series – also previously only available in Japan – were added to the service.
NES, SNES, Game Boy and Game Boy Color games are available as part of the standard Switch Online subscription, which costs $19.99 / £17.99 / €19.99 for a 12-month individual membership.
However, to play Game Boy Advance games (as well as Mega Drive / Genesis and Nintendo 64 games), players need to have the Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, which costs $49.99 / £34.99 / €39.99.
