Hello! I'm trying to find all the GB/GBC ports that exist on the Switch. So far, I'm aware of:

Castlevania Collection
Contra Collection
Collection of Mana
Collection of SaGa
Disney Collection

Are there any I missed?

The original Shantae is on Switch. Released so late in the GBC's life it never stood a chance. But it's great they re-released it.

Buy Kirby and the Forgotten Land

There's the Medabot Collection, but that's Japan exclusive I believe.

I believe Japan also has Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland.

Switch Physical Collection - 1,241 games (as of March 23rd, 2024)

@Neopolitan Where do you find that? Is it extra content in one of the new Shantae games?

I think Shantae was offered as part of a special collection.

Though maybe it's also on the eShop?

Shantae was released as a standalone title via Limited Run Games. It has yet to be shipped, however, and it remains to be seen whether it will receive a digital release (which it most likely will).

There was also Super Rare Games's physical edition of Toki Tori Collection, which included the Game Boy Color game on the cartridge. I do not have it myself, so I cannot say whether it is exclusive to the physical edition or whether it is also included with any of the downloadable Toki Tori releases.

I absolutely love GB/GBC games though, so I tend to buy such releases, though I did skip Collection of SaGa as it has apparently been censored due to "evolving cultural/social norms". To hell with that.

The Neo Geo Pocket Color games are very much like Game Boy Color / Super Game Boy games. They feel and look similar to the Game Boy versions of good ports like Samurai Shodown.

164 MB SNK vs. CAPCOM: The Match of the Millennium (SNK)
147 MB Pocket Fighting Series - Fatal Fury: First Contact (SNK)
130 MB The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny (SNK)
127 MB Pocket Fighting Series - Samurai Shodown! 2 (SNK)
113 MB SNK Gals' Fighters (SNK)
91 MB Pocket Fighting Series - King of Fighters R-2 (SNK)

I think Squidlit, Save Me Mr Tako!, and Pirate Pop Plus were made with Game Boy limitations in mind, while Awesome Pea 1 & 2 and Gunpowder On The Teeth feel like fake attempts, but if you're ok with that you can also check out Super Life of Pixel. There are a couple others like Dogurai and Warlock's Tower that I haven't tried yet.

You can play Tetris 99 with a GameBoy theme if you unlock it.
