Nintendo Switch Online Adding Game Boy and Game Boy Advance Games

Nintendo has announced that it is adding Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games to the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service.

This is probably the best addition to Switch Online so far.

If they get final fantasy tactics advance I'll be playing it like no tomorrow

Oh yeah I loved that game. I did actually... admittedly emulate it earlier as a kid to play it on PC since there were no copies around in my country. Would love to go legit on that title.

Not only one of my favorite GBA titles, but also one of my overall favorite games of all time! I was thinking about that too as they were showing.

I really loved the penalty card system. Many people complained that it was annoying, but I found it an even greater challenge that kept you on your toes, made you think of solutions in new roundabout ways.

I was really happy to see Golden Sun listed for the feature. TLOZ Minish Cap and Mario Bros Super Star Saga are 2 huge scores too. I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on an Expansion Pack Plus membership. I'm still not happy about the price or the service, but this is enticing enough.

Sorry it wasn't available. Not to hate on where you live but it sounds like your place is crap video game wise.

roadkillers442d ago

Oooo, Warioware and Minish Cap!

AnotherGamer442d ago

It took them this long to implement it!

Curious how they reveal this right around the time eShop and Virtual Console will be taken offline for 3DS & Wii U

Nice distraction Nintendo

Fusion did a great job at it. Really love that horror feel with metroid. I mean you are completely alone on alien planets filled with horrific monsters and toxic environments.

I'm happy for more GB games, and these are pretty solid titles, but why haven't we gotten the original SMB Land? It may not be considered one of the better Mario platformers, but I still enjoy it and have fond memories of it as one of the first GB games I ever purchased. I can understand us getting SMB Land 2 first, as it's more traditional to the series, but I hope they don't skip part 1 all together.

Super Mario Land is CLASSIC (sold like 18 million...lol). Short but sweet. The main theme music alone is awesome and nostalgic. I have no clue why it wasn't included Day 1 when Game Boy released on NSO.

PS and Xbox constantly get berated for their sub services but Nintendo always seem to get a free pass and their service is shocking compared to the others
