Nintendo fans were in for a treat last week with the announcement of the addition of Metroid: Zero Mission to the Switch Online library. What makes this release particularly exciting is the inclusion of the special Metroid Fusion gallery, a feature that was previously locked behind the need for players to have access to both Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion, along with a link cable and two Game Boy Advance consoles. However, with this digital release, Nintendo has made the gallery accessible to all players, eliminating the need for additional hardware and games.
This move by Nintendo to unlock special features in classic games is not new. When Mario Tennis for Game Boy Color was added to the Switch Online service, players were pleasantly surprised to find that the Nintendo 64 characters were already unlocked. This shows Nintendo’s commitment to enhancing the gaming experience for its players and keeping the nostalgia alive for long-time fans.
For those unfamiliar with Metroid: Zero Mission, this game is a remake of Samus Aran’s first adventure in the Metroid series. It offers a fresh take on the classic Game Boy Advance title, giving players a chance to experience the story in a new light.

With each new addition, Nintendo continues to expand its library of classic games, catering to fans of all ages and preferences.

Whether you are revisiting this classic title or experiencing it for the first time, the game offers a captivating journey into the world of Metroid and the iconic character of Samus Aran.
