Just a short while ago, Nintendo Switch Online added in new icons for both Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4.
These are classified as “play to unlock” rewards. That means you need to boot up Wario Land 3 in the Game Boy app and Wario Land 4 in the GBA equivalent before they’re made available. Note that the latter requires a membership to the Expansion Pack tier.

Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase aired earlier this week, and following the event, we’re interested in hearing about what you thought of the show.
This wasn’t a general Nintendo Direct, meaning the Big N itself wasn’t really present here. We did get to see Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, but that was all. Third-parties did show up with their own announcements – Monster Hunter Stories 3, Octopath Traveler, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Persona 3 Reload, Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2, and Once Upon A Katamari were shown. You can catch up on everything that was featured here.
So what’d you think of the July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase? What were your highlights? Let us know in the comments.
