Enjoy! Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers have instant access to a small but growing library of brilliant handheld games from yesteryear, including Game Boy Advance entries in some of Nintendo's biggest series. Are they all brilliant, though? Which GBA games on Nintendo Switch Online are the best? Well, with the help of you lovely Nintendo Life readers, we can answer that question. Every retro game available with an NSO sub (plus the Expansion Pack) The following ranked list of the NSO GBA library is compiled using the User Ratings (out of 10) given to each GBA game available to play on Switch in the West.

This ranking is not set in stone and will automatically fluctuate over time depending on assigned User Ratings (and new additions to the NSO library, of course — we'll add those in as they are released). Think a game below deserves to be higher up on the list? Simply click on the 'star' button and score it yourself — your personal rating could boost its placement in the overall ranking. The number of GBA games is small at the moment, but there's no denying the quality and there are more on the way.

Note. Expecting to see Mother 3 on this list now it's technically available via Switch Online ? Well, it'.
