Expanded features now accessible for Nintendo Switch Online Plus subscribers!

In the world of gaming, excitement continues to build as Nintendo unveils new features and updates to its Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service. One of the most anticipated additions to the service is the Game Boy Advance (GBA) collection, which includes a wide range of classic titles.

One such game is the intriguing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. In this unique adventure, players wake up as a Pokémon in a strange world, embarking on a journey to uncover their true purpose and destiny. The game allows players to speak and interact with other Pokémon, creating an immersive and engaging experience.

The GBA collection, introduced in February 2023, offers a wealth of classic games, including Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, Metroid Fusion, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Four Swords, among others. Titles like Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Wario Land 4, and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 are also part of this impressive lineup.

However, it's worth noting that as of August 2025, no new GBA games have been added beyond the initial roster. Recent updates have focused on the GameCube and Super NES collections, with additions like Mario Strikers on GameCube and Mario Paint on SNES.

To access these games and other online features, a Nintendo Switch Online membership and Nintendo Account are required. A paid Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership is necessary to play the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, SEGA Genesis, and other classic game collections, as well as select DLC, at no additional cost.

Online features, Save Data Cloud, and Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app features are available in compatible games. However, data charges may apply when using the smartphone app, and persistent Internet, a compatible smartphone, and a Nintendo Account age 13+ are required to access some online features on the app, including voice chat.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, the player, along with a partner Pokémon, embarks on rescue missions in a world affected by natural disasters. This game, along with the rest of the GBA collection, offers a nostalgic trip for many gamers and a unique experience for newcomers.

In conclusion, the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack continues to grow, offering a diverse range of classic games from various eras. While no new GBA games have been added since the initial launch, the service remains a valuable resource for gamers seeking to revisit their favourite titles or discover new ones.
