Nintendo has added more retro titles to Nintendo Switch Online, expanding the Nintendo Classics library available to members.

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers now have access to more than 150 classic games across NES, Super NES, and Game Boy, with the latest update adding two familiar Game Boy titles to the lineup.

Two Game Boy Classics Join the Nintendo Switch Online Library

The newest additions arrive as part of the Game Boy – Nintendo Classics library.

Yoshi

Originally released for Game Boy, Yoshi is an action and puzzle game starring Mario’s longtime companion. The game challenges you to catch falling enemies on trays and match them to clear the screen. As the pace increases, careful positioning and quick reactions become essential to keep the stack from overflowing.

Balloon Kid

Balloon Kid puts you in the role of Alice as she searches for her younger brother Jim after he’s swept away by a powerful wind. Using balloons to stay airborne, you move through eight stages while avoiding enemies and hazards. The game also includes Balloon Trip mode, where the focus shifts to score chasing and precision movement.

Nintendo Switch Online Adds More Games to Its Classics Lineup

Nintendo Switch Online continues to build out its retro catalog, with additional classic titles added to the service over time. These updates expand the Nintendo Classics libraries for NES, Super NES, and Game Boy, with new games introduced periodically.
