When it does, it will once again be harder to access some of the older handheld games officially, which is why the possibility of seeing more emulators on Switch really matters.Īfter all, many of the classic Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games are a part of Nintendo's history, and should be readily available for players to experience and enjoy. While we can still purchase them as of right now, it's still such a shame that it's going away – even if the 3DS is an older handheld. It's thanks to the 3DS' virtual console that I can still revisit some classic Game Boy games like Kirby's Dream Land after misplacing my cartridge. "The Game Boy Advance is one machine I'll always hold dear, and it would be so great to once again appreciate and re-discover just fantastic and enjoyable so many of its games still are."Īt the moment, it feels especially important to see such games come to the latest console in light of the news that the eShop on the Nintendo 3DS will be closing down for good as of March 2023. And if rumors suggesting that Game Boy games could be added down the line also do turn out to be true, the Switch would have a robust library of old and new. It would certainly help Nintendo make the more premium and, at this point, rather lacklustre expansion pack membership more appealing and worthwhile. Since nothing has been confirmed and we only have a leak to go on, we don't yet know if Game Boy Advance games would follow in the footsteps of the N64 additions, but it seems like a pretty safe bet.
This is certainly a step in the right direction, even if it puts them behind a paywall and only includes a limited number. Nintendo Switch Online members can play a collection of SNES and NES games, and most recently, the more expensive Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription offers up a helping of N64 and Sega Genesis games – some of which are still being added to (with Mario Golf on the N64 being one of the latest additions). We've steadily started to see a selection of games from past generations arrive on the Switch.
