Every Game Boy and GBA game coming to the Nintendo Switch

On Feb. 8, the Nintendo Direct presentation revealed that classic Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games were coming to Nintendo Switch Online. The presentation delighted many, as games that had either been lost to time, or left dusty on shelf somewhere, would enter official digital libraries for the first time.

For a certain generation of gamer, the Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Advance are part of the irreplaceable nostalgia of their youth. The first hugely successful handheld console, the Game Boy put some classic games quite literally in the hands of kids and adults alike. Its successors the Game Boy Color, and eventually, Game Boy Advance, added titles to the handheld arsenal that are legendary.

And now you can play them again on your Nintendo Switch! Here’s all the games being added today and in the future:

If you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership, you can play the following games from Jan. 8, 2023, for no additional cost, only as a download.
