Overview
- Nintendo published the update on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, and the four new classics are available now on both Nintendo Switch and the Switch 2.
- The Game Boy additions are Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, The Sword of Hope II, and Fortified Zone, all accessible to standard Nintendo Switch Online members.
- Dr. Mario & Puzzle League is the lone Game Boy Advance title in the drop and requires a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription to play.
- Japan gets the same four releases plus a region-exclusive GBA title, Tomato Adventure, which is available through the Japanese eShop’s GBA 'Nintendo Classics' app.
- The update continues Nintendo’s incremental approach to its retro library, following earlier periodic drops such as the Donkey Kong 64 addition in late May, and keeps subscription tiers as the main determinant of access.
