is bringing some of its oldest handheld games to its newest portable platform, with the launch of Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games on the Switch, the company announced Wednesday.These lines of games were very popular in the 90s and early 2000s, but Nintendo hasn't sold them for nearly a decade.
Older games, unlike classic movies or classic music, don't easily run on modern devices without efforts by platform manufacturers to make them technologically compatible.Nintendo will offer Game Boy games such as Tetris, Super Mario Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land starting today through its $20-a-year Nintendo Switch Online subscription service.
The company teased future GB and GBA games for the all-you-can play subscriptions, including The Legend of Zelda Oracle games for Game Boy and F-Zero: Maximum Velocity.Nintendo has the deepest library of classic games, but doesn't keep them continuously available.
