Last year there were whispers that Nintendo was planning to bring Game Boy games to its Nintendo Switch Online subscription service to join the existing libraries of NES and SNES titles, plus the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis catalogues available as part of the Expansion pack subscription tier.

Now, a leak seems to provide evidence that Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games may be hitting the service soon.

According to @trashbandatcoot on Twitter, files have been leaked onto 4chan which include a Nintendo-developed GBA emulator codenamed "Sloop" and a Game Boy emulator called "Hiyoko", both developed by Nintendo of Europe's NERD (Nintendo European Research & Development) team, the Paris-based subsidiary responsible for much of the company's emulation efforts in recent years — including the emulators in the Classic Mini consoles and the N64/GameCube/Wii emulation in Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

I’m assuming this means the switch online membership is going to increase again. It’s not a lot of money but it’s hard for me to justify paying to play 25+ year old Game Boy games

Unless they add Pokémon Blue/Red. Then I’m in.

They just announced the first price increase in the sub's history when the ACNH expansion hit. I highly doubt that they're going to raise it again, but I could certainly be mistaken.

I need Toadstool Tour on the GCN emulator, and nobody gets hurt.

I’ll pay whatever they want to play Golden Sun again.

My kids would want Pokémon titles and I would love Pokémon Stadium to come to the N64 in connection with that.

Past that, any iteration of Advance Wars is a winner.

There's an HD remaster of both AW games coming straight to the Switch this summer, IIRC.

If we're doing GBA games, I'd love for Tactics Ogre to land there, but it's a long shot.

It has had the release date jerked around a bit so I would be fine with the old ones as a stopgap.

Whenever I pull out my DS, I like to play Dual Strike because I think it is the peak of the series (didn’t like Days Of Ruin as much)

We've got NES and SNES for switch. It's worth it. The only game I've actually purchased is Zelda BOTW. Access to super Metroid, excite bike, mario kart, and a lot more is worth it.

Sometimes I just go up and play one game where you have three lives to get a little escape and then get back to life.
