Nintendo is adding three more free Mario games to Nintendo Switch – Here’s how to grab them

NINTENDO has announced it will add three more Mario games to Nintendo Switch.

The three games will be free for all subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service.

Originally released for the Game Boy Advance, the new games are three often forgotten games from the Mario series.

With the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie interest in Mario has increased and more people want to play the older Mario games.

Super Mario Advance, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, and Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3 will all be available from the Game Boy Advance library soon. 

While Yoshi’s Island is mostly based on the SNES game of the same name, Super Mario World only shares power ups with its predecessor.

The Advance version instead allows you to play as either Mario or Luigi and includes Yoshi in many levels.

All three games will be joining Nintendo’s online service from Friday, May 26, 2023.

After this date anyone who subscribes to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will be able to play.

Players will then have to download the Game Boy Advance app where they can select the games they want to play.

This is the more expensive model of Nintendo’s subscription service, but comes with a number of added extras.

There are currently only seven games as part of the service, though there are promises of more coming to the service in the future.

After the three Mario games are added there are plans for four more in the near future.
