Nintendo Switch Online gets three new GBA games this month



A new collection of retro games will soon be made available to subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online. This time around, the focus is on GBA games, with three titles set to be added next week. Super Mario Advance, Super Mario Advance 2, and Super Mario Advance 3 will all be playable on NSO starting on May 26th. The three games are ports of Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Island, respectively.

These games aren't ports, they are roms that take 0 effort to put inside their emulation app. They are giving people the mininum and in small doses.
These roms are apparently using HD Rumble, but it's GBA games so I doubt it makes much use of it when Switch games don't as it is.

1-2 Switch was the best "game" (collection of tech demos) that demonstrated how good HD Rumble was. Unfortunately, it was never used to its full potential.

Thanks, Nintendo. 😑

SUPER MARIO BROS 2 GAME OF THE YEAR 35 YEARS IN A ROW BAYBEE!

Ok but seriously all three of these aren't even GBA games, the og NES/SNES versions are already on NSO so wtf Nintendo quit playing around and maybe add some actual Game Boy Advance games?

Wake me up when the GBA Pokemon/Gen 3 games get added lul, I'm off to play my copy of Emerald...

I'm here for Yoshi's Island, for the sake of nostalgia for sick days home from school, but this does seem like a weak announcement. How many ways do we need to have that we can play the same games?

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
