The biggest thing on the horizon for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers to look forward to is the addition of GameCube titles to the service’s Expansion Pack tier library for Nintendo Switch 2 players upon the console’s launch in a couple week’s time. Ahead of that, however, the rollout of titles in the service’s existing catalog continues. 

Nintendo has added four additional Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles to the Nintendo Switch Online library. There’s puzzle title Kirby’s Star Tracker, Konami’s 1991 scrolling shooter Gradius: The Interstellar Assault, fantasy RPG The Sword of Hope, and this new batch of games’ one and only Game Boy Color title, Konami’s 1999 game Survival Kids. Check out Nintendo’s Twitter announcement below for glimpses of gameplay from all four newly added titles. 

Kirby’s Star Tracker, Gradius: The Interstellar Assault, The Sword of Hope, and Survival Kids are available to all Nintendo Switch Online subscribers starting today.
