Prepare for trouble and make it double…
It has been revealed that next week, on September 25, 2025, a new update for the Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Classics will add two more games to its current library. The games in question are KLONOA: Empire of Dreams and Mr. Driller 2. A trailer for both games and their official game description can be seen below:
KLONOA: Empire of Dreams (Bandai Namco Entertainment)
Released in: 2001
Number of Players: 1
The ruler of a distant empire suffers from a serious case of sleepless nights. In his torment, Emperor Jillius passes a law forbidding his loyal subjects from ever dreaming again! One morning, our hero Klonoa and his friend Huepow find themselves in front of the emperor, charged with dreaming of adventure. As punishment for their crimes, they must defeat the four monsters that plague the lands.
Play as Klonoa and take down enemies with the ever-trusty Wind Bullet. Solve puzzles and collect helpful items like stars as you jump your way through 40 incredible stages! Help Klonoa in his journey to redeem himself and find out just why dreams have become so taboo…
Mr. Driller 2 (Bandai Namco Entertainment)
Released in: 2001
Number of Players: 1 – 2
Join Susumu and Anna as a mysterious outbreak of Blocks threatens the world’s existence once more.
Armed with a mighty drill, dig deep through multicolored blocks until you reach safety. Not all blocks will be breakable, so be careful that the blocks you break don’t cause others to fall on you or cut off your Air Supply! Scramble to grab air capsules for a recharge, and you’ll be just fine to reach your goal. How deep can you dig underground? Drill to your heart’s content in three modes: Mission Driller, Endless Driller, and Time Attack Driller!
Will you be diving into KLONOA: Empire of Dreams and Mr. Driller 2 next week? Let us know!
