Six Nintendo Switch Online classics: Game Boy and GBA need different membership tiers
Mole Mania joins the Game Boy selection; GBA games such as METAL SLUG ADVANCE require the Expansion Pack.
Before looking for all six classics in one app, check your membership. Nintendo Brazil’s October 26 update separates Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles across the relevant Switch and Switch 2 services.
- Any Nintendo Switch Online membership: Avenging Spirit, Mole Mania and Revenge of the ‘Gator in the Game Boy selection.
- Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack: Monster Rancher Advance, METAL SLUG ADVANCE and Kururin Paradise in the Game Boy Advance selection.
The easy detail to miss is the trial. The announcement offers seven days of standard Nintendo Switch Online, excluding the Expansion Pack and accounts with an active individual or family membership. That trial does not promise access to the three GBA games. Unless canceled, the trial automatically converts to a paid one-month membership with automatic renewal.
The announcement presents an upcoming selection without an exact availability time. Check your membership tier and the relevant console app for actual access. An app being free to download does not remove the games’ membership requirement.
