Wario Land 4 and Ninja Five-O, previously released on GBA, have recently landed on the Nintendo Switch, although one is easier to get hold of than the other…
Wario Land 4 joins Nintendo Switch Online
Mario’s archnemesis returns in Wario Land 4, in which the titular weirdo transforms into a bat, a zombie, and more. Originally released in 2001, this is a long-awaited return to Wario Land titles on the Nintendo Switch.
It’s a fabulous golden pyramid filled with riches! Trouble is, its denizens don’t want to give up the treasure easily, but that hasn’t stopped Wario before! In Wario Land 4, the greedy hero finds himself no longer invincible, as in his previous platform adventures. He can, however, undergo amazing transformations that aid him in his quest—like becoming Vampire Bat Wario, Bouncy Wario, and even Zombie Wario!
Could Wario Land 5 be along next? Who knows! Meanwhile, you can find Wario Land 4 on the Nintendo Switch Online service.
You can sign up to Nintendo Switch Online through your Switch, or buy a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion code on Amazon.
