Game Boy Color and Advance games would be coming to Nintendo Switch

A new leak points out that Nintendo is preparing to bring the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance games to the Nintendo Switch through its online subscription service.

According to trashbandacoot and VGC, the Japanese company has in its hands an emulator that could bring several titles to the portable console. This new leak adds to rumors that had circulated in 2021 and referred to exactly the same thing: the fun of Game Boy Color and Advance coming to the Nintendo Switch.

The leak has consistency, because in the past the giant N did something similar with Nintendo 64 and Sega Mega Drive, when releasing titles for these consoles on Nintendo Switch Online.

In addition, it should be remembered that for Nintendo, both the Game Boy Color and the Game Boy Advance were great pillars for its strengthening, since they were among the best-selling in history with more than 118 million units purchased worldwide, and many of their titles, to this day are still classics that made a watershed in the video game industry.

It is presumed that some of the games that could make it to the hybrid console, should the leaks materialize, are: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, Golden Sun, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Mega Man Battle Network 2, Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, Dragon Quest III and Kirby's Dream Land, among others that the Japanese company could make known.

Because nothing is confirmed yet and since last year everything has been summed up in disparate rumors, there are those who are skeptical, considering that Nintendo will not make any of these additions in the near future.

A novelty related to Bandai Namco triggered speculations from the gamer community. The company published a list of job searches for an alleged project in collaboration with Nintendo. Although the ads do not give much detail, the Japanese developer explained that she is looking for specialists to participate in the remake of a 3D action game.

The series of job offers was first detected by users of Resetera, an international forum founded in 2017 specializing in the networking of specialists in the video game industry.

The search for Bandai Namco is aimed at those people with experience in managing assets of previous technologies, who can participate in the development of scenarios, but who can also be part of the work of remastering elements in high definition and even have the possibility of remaking objects inspired by works past.

This is not the first time that the Japanese company has collaborated with Nintendo on a similar project, but the two companies have an extensive list of titles where they have helped each other. Among them are games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, ARMs and Mario Kart 8. Nintendo also enabled Bandai Namco to develop exclusives such as New Pokemon Snap and Pokken Tournament.

While the job search does not go into any further detail, Resetera users speculate that Nintendo might be looking to bring to the current generation some of its iconic titles such as Starfox, Kid Icarus and even Metroid Prime.
