Nintendo is pulling more classic Game Boy games from sale than it is adding

The addition of 15 classic Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games to the Nintendo Switch last month will be deeply offset by the removal of 155 titles for those platforms from the online marketplace for two outgoing Nintendo platforms this month, according to an Axios check of the systems' online stores.

Beyond the Game Boy collections, that includes 94 Nintendo Entertainment System games, 51 Super NES games, 21 Nintendo 64 games and 31 Nintendo DS games offered through Wii U. The 3DS sells more than 150 games for classic systems too. Nintendo has been slow to match those offerings via its more recent Switch console. That device launched in 2017 and began adding games from classic Nintendo consoles in late 2018. Its vault of classics, available to paying Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, includes 60 NES and SNES games apiece and 22 Nintendo 64 games, but nothing from the DS.Keeping classic games available requires developing emulators that can make modern systems run old software, a non-trivial task.

Some frustrated fans will turn to unauthorized emulators that can run pirated copies of classic games on computers and phones, but Nintendo routinely sends its lawyers to stymie such moves.

They’re doing better with Nintendo Switch Online providing access to some older games. Still lots of room for improvement, but their emulation for N64 on Switch is superb! Looking forward to more Game Boy/Advance and DS titles showing up.
