Game Boy Switch Online games are now officially a thing. As part of today’s exciting Nintendo Direct presentation, where we got a brand new trailer for The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo officially added Game Boy and Game Boy Advanced titles to its Switch Online library. While much of the collection is already available now, some of it is also locked behind the Expansion pack membership. Head below for more details and the games now live on the service.
Game Boy Switch Online titles
The new Game Boy Switch Online titles include absolute classics like Wario in Super Mario Land 2 – 6 Golden Coins, Metroid II – Return of Samus, Tetris circa 1989, Kirby’s Dream Land, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX, Wario Land 3, Gargoyle’s Quest, Game and Watch Gallery 3, Alone in the Dark, and more. Nintendo also has the Pokémon Trading Card Game and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons on deck and listed as coming soon.

Game Boy Advance Switch Online
As for the Game Boy Advance Switch Online titles, you’re going to need to pay the up-charge on the Expansion Pack membership for those.

- Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
- WarioWare Mega Microgames
- Kuru Kuru

- Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga
