Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3<\/a> headlines Nintendo’s latest additions to its classic game catalogue, with more retro titles from both the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While technically a Super Mario Land threequel, the very first Wario Land barely features Nintendo’s mascot at all, and instead establishes his naughty rival as a true video game star in his own right. Fans of later Wario Land titles will see where much of the series’ gameplay originates \u2014 as the money-loving antihero searches for gold and treasures via various side-scrolling levels.<\/p>\n

Originally released for the Game Boy back in 1994, you can now enjoy Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 on Switch and Switch 2 now, if you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.<\/p>\n

\n

Three #GameBoy<\/a> titles have been added to Nintendo Classics!<\/p>\n

Other Game Boy titles now available include a so-so JRPG from Kemco, The Sword of Hope 2<\/a>, and an okay top-down shooter from Jaleco, Fortified Zone<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Finally, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers with the fancier Expansion Pack tier also now have access to Dr. Mario & Puzzle League<\/a>, which brings two puzzle games for the price of one. <\/p>\n

So, anything you fancy?<\/p>\n
