Nintendo add Game Boy to Switch Online
Nintendo recently added a nice little set of Game Boy games to the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Game Boy games:
- Tetris
- Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
- The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX
- Gargoyle’s Quest
- Game & Watch Gallery 3
- Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare
- Metroid 2 – Return of Samus
- Wario Land 3
- Kirby’s Dream Land
With The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, Pokémon Trading Card Game, Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble to come at a later date.
If you have the Online + Expansion pass package you also get some Game Boy Advance games
These are:
- Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
- WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames
- Kuru Kuru Kururin
- Mario Kart: Super Circuit
- Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
- The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
With Metroid Fusion, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Fire Emblem, F-Zero Maximum Velocity, Golden Sun to be added later.
The games play fairly well, but as with all retro stuff, sometimes the emulation isn’t as good as the real thing, and sometimes the real thing hasn’t stood the test of time. I can already feel my Tetris addiction coming back (once I figure out the buttons on the Switch).
Have a look below at me trying out a few of the games.
