Last year there were whispers<\/a> 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<\/a>, plus the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis catalogues available as part of the Expansion pack subscription tier.<\/p>\n

Now, a leak seems to provide evidence that Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games may be hitting the service soon.<\/p>\n

According to @trashbandatcoot<\/a> 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 \u2014 including the emulators in the Classic Mini consoles and the N64\/GameCube\/Wii emulation in Super Mario 3D All-Stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n
