Based on how Nintendo has released theNintendo 64 games on Nintendo Switch Online, it’s likely if GBA games come to the service, they will be staggered. What this means is that instead of all the GBA games coming at once, there will be a handful to start with, with more added on a monthly basis. But again, Nintendo hasn’t announced any plans to bring GBA games to Nintendo Switch Online at all, so fans should keep their expectations in check for now.
If GBA games do come to Nintendo Switch Online, it will be interesting to see iforiginal Game Boy and Game Boy Color gamesjoin the lineup, too. Nintendo has a few other platforms it could draw on to bolster the Nintendo Switch Online lineup as well, though for now all fans are guaranteed are NES, SNES, Genesis, and Nintendo 64 games.
