During the recent Pokemon Presents broadcast, The Pokemon Company confirmed that N64’s Pokemon Stadium 2 and Game Boy’s Pokemon Trading Card Game are both now available on Nintendo Switch Online. The former was confirmed to be coming to the service nearly a year ago, in September last year.

Of course, given the libraries they belong to, whether or not you’ll be able to play them will depend on which tier of the service you’re subscribed to. Pokemon Trading Card Game, like all Game Boy titles added to the service, is available to all Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, while Pokemon Stadium 2, being an N64 title, is available only to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers.

The list consists of classics like Kirby’s Dream Land, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX, Metroid 2: Return of Samus, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. However, there will be more titles added in the future. These include The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, Pokemon Trading Card Game and Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble.

On the Game Boy Advance side, Metroid Fusion, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, F-Zero Maximum Velocity and Golden Sun are coming. The frequency of new titles remains to be seen, so stay tuned in the coming months. Nintendo Switch Online costs $20 per year, while Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack retails for $50 per year.

Pokémon TCG: XY—Flashfire, the latest “expansion” to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which will feature booster cards and themed decks, will be out in stores on May 7, bringing to players 100 new trading cards.
