Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online is an application released for the Nintendo Switch alongside Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online on February 8, 2023 in the Americas and February 9, 2023 overseas, shortly following its announcement in the Nintendo Direct on February 8, 2023. It is exclusively available to Nintendo Switch Online members and features a library of Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, which can be played in the Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, or Game Boy Color screen filters. Multiplayer-compatible games such as Tetris can be played with other Nintendo Switch devices locally or online.[7]
Special color palettes that would be used on the Game Boy Color by holding down specific buttons when starting the games, or Super Game Boy-specific color palettes, are however not available. There is no Transfer Pak connectivity with Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online.
Button mapping[edit]
Despite the fact that only one controller can be connected to the app at a time and multiplayer requires each player to own a console, the app allows players to use a single Joy-Con.

Along the way, through six zones, Mario can nab Super Mushrooms, Super Stars, and Fire Flowers for extra power—or a Magic Carrot to turn into a high-flying hare! |
