Currently, via the Switch Online service, subscribed players can enjoy so-called “classic” games from the NES and Super NES, or even those from the Nintendo 64. However, it may well be that the Game Boy Advance catalog is coming soon via Nintendo Switch Online.
It’s the rumor of the day: an emulator, allowing you to enjoy the games of the Game Boy Advance, could see the light of day on Nintendo Switch. Indeed, the Twitter user, Trashbandatcoot, would have made a discovery along these lines. Nintendo European Research & Development would have created two emulators: “Hiyoko” for the one concerning the Game Boy, and “Sloop” for the Game Boy Advance. Images are also available via the previously mentioned user’s tweet.
So Nintendo’s official Game Boy Advance emulator for the Nintendo Switch just leaked. Now it’s just a matter of waiting for NSO to add GBA. pic.twitter.com/mEJcKrRtzL

Moreover, a first list of games, integrated via these emulators, also leaked. For the moment, these would only be titles that have been tested and it is not guaranteed that they will actually be available when the emulator is launched (if it officially arrives).
The library of GBA games they’ve tested for this thing is massive. Tested is the key word; doesn’t mean they’ll all actually launch on the service. Yellow = in the rom folder at some point but not in the leaked build.
There’s one other game with evidence of being tested though- https://t.co/QQDBDcdAZp pic.twitter.com/lGSB4Mg7Gt

Nevertheless, we urge you to be cautious. This information has not been made official by Nintendo. The firm has not communicated on this subject, and it may not see the light of day. Thus, these rumors should be taken with a grain of salt and wait for Nintendo to shed light on the subject.
