Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Virtual Boy And GBA Library With Three More Titles

Wish they’d do the gba Mario tennis and golf games.

Since we just got the remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong a couple years ago, I didn't think the original GBA version would ever come to NSO--at least, not within the next 5 years or more. Does this mean the SNES version of Super Mario RPG could be on its way soon??

Edit: This also means Mario finally says, "Come back-a here, you big-eh monkey!" in a Switch game. Life is finally worth living again.

As a Mario Bros. fan, Mario Clash should be intriguing, and it should become my second favorite VB game behind Wario Land.

But the GBA version of Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a cool surprise! The Switch remake is all well and good, but even though it's definitely aged with its pre-rendered graphics, there's still some things the GBA original did better. Charles Marinet's many voiced lines are personally classic. I like how the music for Fire Mountain and Twilight City is more bombastic or ominous when it's more subdued or completely different in the remake, not to mention The Final, Really Final Battle hitting way harder!

Wonder if Mario vs DK will feature the e-reader levels just like SMA4

What I find interesting is NST gets a special shout in the legal

Hmm to sum up this update… I think Bill Withers put it best.

Sweet! Now people can play the better version of MvDK(in terms of gameplay at least).

@theberrage yeah there really ain't no sunshine when Mario is gone...

@AG_Awesome Baffling they’re not there already, there’s an argument to be made that they’re the best entries in each series. Toadstool Tour is up there too.

I am ready to enter the 3rd dimension!

Keep hoping for SMB Deluxe, but glad we got something. Though I played through Mario vs. DK on my 3DS late last year and wound up absolutely hating it so not super enthused about it personally, but happy for its fans that don't want to shell out for the remake.

Mario tennis for vb, was waiting for that. Amazing game.

@nessisonett Two of their all time best. Hopefully someday they give em to us. 🤞

You had me at Mario Clash, the only one from this batch that I don't own. I have 2 copies of Mario's Tennis in my collection and Mario vs. Donkey Kong is on my Wii U.
