Hennadiy Chemеris
The July 2026 Nintendo Switch Online lineup is now live on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, bringing Game Boy titles for standard members and a Game Boy Advance game for Expansion Pack members. Nintendo confirmed the update on social media, and the service has added four classic games to Nintendo Classics.
Nintendo says the Game Boy — Nintendo Classics app now includes Fortified Zone, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, and The Sword of Hope II. The Game Boy Advance — Nintendo Classics app has added Dr. Mario & Puzzle League, and Nintendo of America summed up the rollout with a brief message:
These four classic games are now available to play!
The three Game Boy titles are available to Nintendo Switch Online members, while the Game Boy Advance game is reserved for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. Nintendo also says subscribers can access the new batch on both Switch and Switch 2, so no separate release or extra purchase is needed.
Among the four games, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 stands out for its release history. According to the provided information, it originally launched on January 21, 1994.
The July 2026 update is another reminder that Nintendo Switch Online keeps expanding its classic library through the Nintendo Classics apps. For subscribers, that means a fresh batch of retro games is already waiting inside the service rather than on a separate store page.
