There are always some rumors and speculation that Nintendo will be adding more classic systems to their Nintendo Switch Online services. While it took quite a few years, it looks like fans can finally play some of those classic Game Boy titles from yesteryear. The new additions were announced during the Nintendo Direct stream that took place today. These platforms will be added into the service today, but with it comes all three major Game Boy handhelds. Unfortunately, fans of Game Boy Advance fans will be forced into paying for the additional expansion pass component of the service.
The systems will play much like how the other systems are handled on the service. Each month we’ll likely get more games added into the mix. But starting today, players will get a slew of games available from the original Nintendo Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advanced. However, we have to remind you that Game Boy Advanced titles will be locked behind the additional Expansion Pack for Nintendo Switch Online. But we do know what games are being added into the mix right now. We’ll list these games for you to check out down below.
