Nintendo has been slowly improving its library of games available to Nintendo Switch Online and Expansion Pack users.
What started as a library of just 20 NES games has grown to include dozens more. Additionally, Nintendo has since introduced SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, and even Sega Genesis games, giving gamers the chance to play some fan-favorite classics and some deep hits, too. It’s hard to predict when new games might arrive since the company has kept somewhat quiet about doing so, but that’s okay because this list is all you need.
As Nintendo adds new titles, we’ll be sure to update this list to include them. If you’re looking for something specific, use the Table of Contents in this story to quickly jump to different plays. Here’s every NES, SNES, Game Boy, N64, Genesis, and GBA game being added to Nintendo Switch Online.
