Just after the reveal of the Virtual Boy collection and some additions to the Switch Online GameCube and N64 libraries over the last couple months, Nintendo has announced a pair of new games coming to Nintendo Classics. This time around we are turning back to the handhelds titles with a pair of classic games for the Game Boy Advance lineup.
Now that the GameCube library is in full swing for Switch 2 owners, there has been an even more steady stream of new additions to the Switch Online Nintendo Classics library in 2025 – closer to two fresh announcements per month as of late. After adding Super Mario Strikers, Chibi-Robo! landed for GameCube in late August with the addition of Mario Paint for SNES before that, and then earlier this month FORSAKEN 64 made its way into the N64 collection.
But as mentioned above, today’s announcement delivers a pair of new titles to the Game Boy Advance lineup for Switch Online + Expansion Pack members in the form of KLONOA Empire of Dreams and Mr. Driller 2
Here’s some details from Nintendo on both for those unfamiliar:
KLONOA Empire of Dreams:
The ruler of a distant empire suffers from a serious case of sleepless nights. In his torment, Emperor Jillius passes a law forbidding his loyal subjects from ever dreaming again! One morning, our hero Klonoa and his friend Huepow find themselves in front of the emperor, charged with dreaming of adventure. As punishment for their crimes, they must defeat the four monsters that plague the lands.
Play as Klonoa and take down enemies with the ever-trusty Wind Bullet. Solve puzzles and collect helpful items like stars as you jump your way through 40 incredible stages! Help Klonoa in his journey to redeem himself and find out just why dreams have become so taboo…
Mr. Driller 2:
Join Susumu and Anna as a mysterious outbreak of Blocks threatens the world’s existence once more. Armed with a mighty drill, dig deep through multicolored blocks until you reach safety. Not all blocks will be breakable, so be careful that the blocks you break don’t cause others to fall on you or cut off your Air Supply! Scramble to grab air capsules for a recharge, and you’ll be just fine to reach your goal. How deep can you dig underground? Drill to your heart’s content in three modes: Mission Driller, Endless Driller, and Time Attack Driller!
Both games are set to go live for Switch Online + Expansion Pack members on September 25, 2025.
Many folks hoped Nintendo would have something new to say about the GameCube Switch 2 collection as the massive September Direct last week, but that was not the case. All things considered it was a pretty packed show anyway and at the rate Nintendo has been going as of late, it likely won’t be long before we get an update.
