Nintendo just dropped over a dozen classic Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games — including Metroid 2: Return of Samus, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap — on Nintendo Switch. The full list of titles, announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, will be available through the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service.

Nine Game Boy games are now included with standard Nintendo Switch Online subscription tier. An additional six Game Boy Advance games can be played if you have the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.

The emulated games include optional Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, or Game Boy Color screen filters. Two players can play locally or online with supported Game Boy games. For Game Boy Advance, some games will support local and online multiplayer with up to four players.
