The first two are a pair of Game Boy Advance games: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Four Swords and Metroid: Zero Mission for Game Boy Advance. The former is a compilation title that includes a GBA remake of the beloved SNES game A Link to the Past, and a multiplayer spin-off that sees four Links team up and explore randomised dungeons. This will allow for online co-op.

As for Metroid: Zero Mission, it’s a GBA remake of the very first Metroid game, letting you experience an updated re-telling of Samus’ first adventure. It may not be as fancy looking as Metroid Prime 4, but it’s still worth playing.

The other two additions are a pair of Nintendo 64 games: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Rare’s original Perfect Dark. Both of these are first-person shooters, with Turok being all about, well, hunting dinosaurs, while Perfect Dark is set in an alternate future where agent Joanna Dark goes on a mission to thwart an evil corporation. Perfect Dark will also feature online multiplayer. These two will be exclusive to Nintendo’s new catalogue of mature rated titles.
