In the latest announcement, Nintendo has announced that the classic Game Boy Advance is coming to the Switch Online in late September. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror was a fan-favorite game, originally released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance. And now, players can once again re-live the experience on the widely popular Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo is a trove that keeps on dishing out gifts to fans. While the Japanese giant has a long list of exclusive titles for its Switch console, fans still request older games to be ported to the Switch. And now, it looks like Nintendo indeed wasn’t completely oblivious to the fans’ demands. Since the big reveal about Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, fans have evidently been losing their minds over the news.

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can soon enjoy the addition of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. The game is renowned for its unique Metroidvania-style gameplay and introduces cooperative multiplayer gameplay, a first for the Kirby series. In The Amazing Mirror, Kirby is divided into four and must confront the menacing Dark Meta Knight within the Mirror World. The Switch Online version will provide support for both local and online four-player co-op, enhancing the multiplayer experience.
