The only retro game platforms supported on Nintendo Switch Online are the Nintendo Entertainment System which was released in 1983 and the Super Nintendo which was released back in 1990. **Eurogamer** claims its sources have also told them other platforms are also on the cards, which seems fairly obvious, however they wouldn’t state what’s beyond the Game Boy and Game Boy Color games on the Nintendo Switch Online service. > The reports of Game Boy coming to Nintendo Switch Online are accurate. Other platforms (not yet leaked) are also on the cards > > — Tom Phillips (@tomphillipsEG) [September 3, 2021](https://twitter.com/tomphillipsEG/status/1433731142759428118?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ## [](#certain-hmm-well-close-but)Certain … hmm well close but It should be noted that Eurogamer did make a big error in 2016 by saying that GameCube games are coming to the Nintendo Switch. Still, Game Boy Color and the Game Boy do seem fairly likely to happen.
