Nintendo Switch Online’s Game Boy library just got bigger. Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 — the 1994 platformer that sold more than five million copies and launched its own franchise — is now playable on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 as part of the July 2026 classics update, live right now for all standard Nintendo Switch Online subscribers in Singapore.
All Four Games in the Nintendo Switch Online July 2026 Update
Three Game Boy titles went live on 8 July 2026 for all standard Nintendo Switch Online members:
- Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (1994) — the headliner. Wario bulldozes enemies, shapeshifts with power-ups (Bull, Dragon, Jet and more), and hoovers up treasure across five worlds. This is the game that turned a Mario villain into a franchise star in his own right.
- The Sword of Hope II (1992, Kemco) — a JRPG-adjacent adventure with branching dialogue and dungeon crawling. A cult pick for fans of early handheld RPGs.
- Fortified Zone (1991, Jaleco) — a Metal Gear-flavoured twin-character action game where you switch between a soldier and a spy to infiltrate enemy bases.
All three are accessible through the Game Boy — Nintendo Classics app on Switch and Switch 2. Singapore’s Nintendo Switch Online subscription costs S$26.98 a year for an individual plan, and this update applies at no extra cost.

GBA Expansion Pack Addition: Dr. Mario & Puzzle League
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members get a Game Boy Advance addition too: Dr. Mario & Puzzle League (2005). This two-in-one cartridge packages the classic virus-clearing Dr. Mario together with Panel de Pon — known in this region as Puzzle League — each with multiple modes and two-player support now running over online play. It’s one of the denser value-for-money puzzle compilations Nintendo made in the GBA era.
Japan’s Bonus: Tomato Adventure from the Mario & Luigi Creators
Japan’s Expansion Pack subscribers receive one extra title not available to other regions: Tomato Adventure (2002, GBA). It’s an action-RPG set in the tomato-obsessed Ketchup Kingdom, starring a boy named Demil fighting his way through bosses called Super Kids using a command-based battle system. The reason it matters: Tomato Adventure was developed by AlphaDream — the same studio that later created the Mario & Luigi series. It never made it outside Japan in 2002, and it remains Japan-only on Switch Online.
Singapore fans who want to experience it will need a Japanese Nintendo Account to download the Japanese Game Boy Advance — Nintendo Classics app and access the title there. Region-locked, but worth knowing about for retro completists.
