Nintendo has been slowly improving the library of games available to Nintendo Switch Online and Expansion Pack subscribers.
What started as a library of just 20 NES games has grown to include dozens more. In addition, Nintendo has since introduced SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, and even Sega Genesis games, allowing players to play fan-favorite classics and some deep cuts. It’s hard to predict when new games will arrive as the company maintains a somewhat inconsistent cadence in doing so, but that’s okay because this list is all you need.
As Nintendo adds new titles, we’ll be sure to update this list to include them. If you’re looking for something specific, use this story’s table of contents to quickly jump to different consoles. Here’s every NES, SNES, Game Boy, N64, Genesis and GBA game included in Nintendo Switch Online.
