Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES And Game Boy Library With Four More Titles

Battletoads, Kid Icarus and more!

Pretty solid handful of titles. I missed out on the GameBoy Kid Icarus since I had a GameGear at the time so I'm definitely giving that a go. Same with Bionic Commando. Didn't even know there was a GB version

Battletoads and Gaiden 2 can finally be beatable with the rewind and saving

I'd "Jump" at the chance to play Bionic commando

Kid Icarus!!!! I was just pondering the other day why it wasn't on NSO. I guess Nintendo heard me and decided to do something about it.

Bionic Command for the GB is a damn good game

Yeah that's the one I'm most hyped about lol. I mean, it's gotta be at least somewhat easier than the NES game...right?

 

[falling into hell]

Awesome looking forward to playing them.

Best deal in gaming. Out of all the three consoles, their subscription is most affordable and reasonably priced.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Dude, those are all fucking bangers! Battletoads with rewind…..

 

[Kacho]

Fuck yes Ninja Gaiden 2

 

[Mr Hyde]

Yeah that's the one I'm most hyped about lol. I mean, it's gotta be at least somewhat easier than the NES game...right?

I've heard it's a tad bit easier. But that doesn't say much considering how brutal the first game is. Rewind feature is your friend here

Ninja Gaiden 2's addition is the real news…Legendary soundtrack also.

Where are both Wario Land 1 & 2 Nintendo?

There also is an update for the GameBoy app

Switch Online's Game Boy App Has Been Updated To Version 3.0.0, Adds Boot Screen Easter Egg

Follow these steps to see it

www.nintendolife.com

Alongside the return of multiple retro games today, Nintendo has rolled out a new update for the Game Boy app on the Switch and Switch 2, bumping it up to Version 3.0.0.


Apart from the release of Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters and Bionic Commando, this major update also comes with some cool new easter eggs. If you missed the boot screen of the Game Boy era featuring the 'Nintendo' logo (or 'Game Boy' one) and iconic sound, the good news is it's back!


It works the same as it does on the GBA. Once you've installed the update, boot up the app and hold the left analogue stick in any direction, and you'll see the original Game Boy start screen appear. What's also neat is it's different depending on your 'game screen' settings in the app's options menu.


So, you'll get whatever screen filter you've got the game screen set to: Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket or Game Boy Color.

Always happy to see Kid Icarus get something. I really feel it's a Nintendo IP that deserves more.

I'd fucking love a Kid Icarus Uprising remaster.

I use the soundtrack to work out with all the time. I think it's the best handheld game ever made.
