Metroid Fusion is the next Game Boy Advanced title heading to Nintendo Switch

Nintendo impressed us all last month with the surprise release of Metroid Prime Remastered, bringing the original shooter to the Switch with enhanced visuals. Now this week, Nintendo is dropping more for Metroid fans, with the addition of Metroid Fusion to the Switch library. 

Metroid Fusion will be added to the Game Boy library for Switch Online Expansion Pack owners. Nintendo dropped the Game Boy and Game Boy Advanced emulators on Switch earlier this year with a small library of titles. Now, Nintendo is announcing future titles joining the library.

Metroid Fusion first released back in 2002 and is the fourth 2D game in the series and is a prequel to 2021's Metroid Dread. With the addition of Fusion to the library, the full 2D series of Metroid titles will be available to play on Switch, including Metroid, Metroid 2: Return of Samus, Super Metroid, Fusion and Dread.

After Metroid Fusion, Nintendo will also be dropping Fire Emblem, F-Zero Maximum Velocity and Golden Sun to the Game Boy Advanced library. On the classic Game Boy front, fans can expect to see The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, the Pokemon Trading Card Game and Kirby.

KitGuru Says: Metroid is getting a lot of attention at the moment and we can only hope it is all a lead-up to the eventual release of Metroid Prime 4, a game that has been in the works for over five years at this point.

Black Ops 6 is officially here, bringing the innovative new Omni-movement system to the game. While on the surface a relatively simple change, I argue that Treyarch intimately studied DOOM and the past 30 years of first-person shooter evolution to craft one of the most satisfying gameplay systems yet.
