The verdict is these emulators are in a great state, especially when compared to previous releases like the N64 collection:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I think Nintendo has knocked this out of the park&#8230;after the pretty-much failure of the N64 service when it launched it took them a long time to get that in a good place, but this one is very much polished, it works extremely well and I can&#8217;t wait to see what the future holds for both of these services [GB &amp; GBA] on the NSO.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Apart from a teaser of some games coming to these new Switch Online apps in the near future, according to Nintendo, there&#8217;s no set schedule regarding when it will add games to the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance libraries.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly though, the original GBA leak for Switch Online contained a batch of dumped games. Apart from the launch titles, there were also games like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gba\/metroid_zero_mission\">Metroid: Zero Mission<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gba\/pokemon_pinball_ruby_and_sapphire\">Pokemon Pinball<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gba\/drill_dozer\">Drill Dozer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:144884,130574 @ 2023-02-14T06:57:01+00:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>How are you finding these new apps for Switch Online?
