– An active base-tier Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required to play these newly added games.
– The Game Boy app has received Version 3.0.0, which includes a boot-up Easter egg featuring the Nintendo or Game Boy logo and iconic sound.

Subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online can now enjoy four additional classic games across the service’s retro libraries. The NES app welcomes two action-packed titles: Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos and the notoriously difficult Battletoads. Over on the Game Boy app, players will discover Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and Bionic Commando, expanding the portable classics lineup. An active base-level Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to dive into any of these games.
Alongside the new additions, the Game Boy app on both Switch and Switch 2 consoles has received a fresh update. Labeled Version 3.0.0, this patch introduces a nostalgic Easter egg during startup. By rotating the analog stick as the app boots, users are treated to the classic Nintendo or Game Boy logo accompanied by its signature sound. This follows similar surprises added recently, like the Game Boy Advance app’s Easter egg last September and the GameCube startup screen in June.
A video demonstration shows exactly how to trigger the Easter egg and what to expect. For those curious about the full catalog, a comprehensive guide details every game currently accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
