Nintendo is adding beloved Game Boy Advance title Wario Land 4 to the Nintendo Switch Online library on February 14.
Revealed with a trailer, below, the game will be available at no extra cost to users who have a Nintendo Switch Online membership and have purchased the Expansion Pass.
"The misguided Wario is back, and this time he's in search of riches," reads the synopsis. "Ignoring all warning signs, Wario decides to enter a cursed pyramid that's rumored to house a bunch of gold and jewels. Our anti-hero quickly learns that the curse is now a joke, realizing that he'll be lucky to escape alive.

"There are 20 massive stages to conquer in this adventure, and you can use all of the gold and treasure you find to purchase bonus items after each stage. You can even take a breather and play any of the title's delightful mini games."
The game was very well received upon its release in 2001, earning a 9/10 in IGN's review. "There's a lot of variety in the game design and it's more challenging than the usual side-scrolling fare due to its focus on making players figure out how to get to certain locations in the level," we said.
Wario Land 4 is the 24th Game Boy Advance game added to the library, joining the likes of Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, and more.
