The next drop for the Nintendo Online game library has arrived with Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. Just after Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Stadium 2 landed on the service, Nintendo dug into the Japan-only archives to bring some previously-unreleased classics to the US alongside Kirby’s Star Stacker from the SNES catalogue. But this month it is reaching back to the Game Boy Advance library to deliver Kirby & The Amazing Mirror to Switch Online members. Head below for more details.
