On February 3, Nintendo Switch Online shadow dropped two more titles for the Game Boy: Nintendo Classics app, as Yoshi and Balloon Kid were made available for subscribers to enjoy. The latest Game Boy update from Nintendo Switch Online is the first one for the app in 2026, with the previous drop happening in the Fall of 2025.
As a perk of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, users can play through a growing catalog of games via the Nintendo Classics app lineup.

The previous Nintendo Switch Online game update took place in early January, and saw the arrival of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to the GameCube app for Switch 2.
