As part of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games are now available on Nintendo Switch—and there are plenty of games across both platforms. But which Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games are available now or are expected to be released later for Nintendo Switch Online?
Several datamines conducted over the last year or so have suggested that Game Boy and GBA games might be coming to Switch as part of the NSO subscription service. Both platforms have gone live as additional NSO-exclusive apps as of February 8.
Game Boy content is available for free as part of the base NSO subscription package along with the existing NES and SNES titles at no additional cost. Similarly, GBA titles are locked to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier, which also includes N64 games, Sega Genesis games, and a selection of other games.
Here is a list of Nintendo Switch Online subscribers who are currently or may be interested in seeing Game Boy and GBA titles.
