Three GBA Games Join Nintendo Classics Library

Nintendo has added Monster Rancher Advance, Metal Slug Advance and Kururin Paradise to its Game Boy Advance Classics offering for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. The October update also gives the formerly Japan-exclusive Kururin Paradise its first Western release. Originally published in December 2002, that puzzle sequel follows Kuru Kuru Kururin, which later became available through Nintendo’s digital services. Monster Rancher Advance arrived on Game Boy Advance in 2001, expanding the creature-raising franchise known for training monsters and entering tournaments. SNK’s Metal Slug Advance, released in 2004, supplies side-scrolling action. Nintendo presented the three additions in a new lineup trailer. Eligible subscribers can access the expanded library through the Classics app on Switch hardware.
