The Game Boy (and Game Boy Color) games are available for the regular Nintendo Switch Online service as well as for the Expansion Pack. The launch games include:

  • Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare
  • Game & Watch Gallery 3
  • Gargoyle's Quest
  • Kirby's Dream Land
  • Metroid II – Return of Samus
  • Super Mario Land 2 – 6 Golden Coins

The Game Boy Advance games are only avaialble for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, and they include:

  • Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Kuru Kuru Kururin did not originally launch in North America on the Game Boy Advance. The original game had only previously gotten a release in Japan and Europe. Nintendo later released the game digitally in North America for the first time on the Wii U eShop in February 2016.

This version of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 includes the extra e-Reader levels. The Wii U eShop's version also included the levels for the first time, without requiring the e-Reader peripheral.
