Nintendo’s Switch Online + Expansion Pack service in Japan is this week adding Brownie Brown’s 2001 Game Boy Advance RPG, Magical Vacation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This Japanese exclusive will show up for the service on 4th September 2025. That’s the same date as the release of Forsaken 64<\/a> on the mature N64 app locally.<\/p>\n

In addition to solo play, Magical Vacation will also support local communication and online play with other Switch Online users.<\/p>\n

Brownie Brown is now Nintendo’s 1-UP Studio, with the former founders going on to set up the developer Brownies (Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree<\/a>). You can find out more about this studio’s history in our previous coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to access Magical Vacation on your Switch or Switch 2, you’ll need to have an active Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription and access to a Japanese Switch account to download the Japanese version of the GBA app.<\/p>\n
