Game Boy™ – Nintendo Classics
Requires: Any Nintendo Switch Online membership
Fortified Zone
Originally released in 1991, this popular action shooter allows players to alternate between two characters. Fortified Zone brings four multi-room levels of heavy fire and explosions, as well as the mode SOUND BOY where you can listen to the music tracks outside of the action!
Enemy forces have created a gigantic fortress in a critical zone, and reports have been coming in that they are developing a powerful secret weapon! Secret agents MASATO KANZAKI and MIZUKI MAKIMURA have been dispatched to infiltrate the fortress and venture to the heart of the complex to destroy it. MASATO and MIZUKI each have their own abilities, so they will need to tag-team their way through breaching the enemies’ defenses.
Join these two in their mission through the Fortified Zone and destroy the threat!
Wario Land™: Super Mario Land™ 3
Be the bad guy and explore the many levels of Kitchen Island.
Things are really cookin’ on Kitchen Island. Wario has heard the pirates have a giant golden statue of Princess Toadstool. After being kicked out of the last castle by his rival, Mario, he’s scheming to steal the statue. Help Wario collect treasure by smashing into objects and foes. Power-ups like the Bull Pot, Jet Pot, and Dragon Pot will grant Wario new powers that he can use to his advantage. Find special keys to unlock treasure chests that are hidden in various levels. The more treasure you collect, the bigger the castle at the end of the game will be. Wario’s greed knows no bounds. It’s up to you to help him reach the ultimate prize.
