Rumor has it that Nintendo is planning to add Game Boy games to Nintendo Switch Online and open up subscription players. There are also screenshots of the game circulating on the Internet, which greatly increases the credibility. Nintendo has yet to respond.
According to Neowin, Twitter user Trash_Bandatcoot (@trashbandatcoot) pointed out that the leaked document shows that the European R&D team NERD, which is mainly responsible for developing Nintendo’s official emulator, is developing the Game Boy Advance emulator code-named “Sloop” and the Game Boy emulator “Hiyoko”. Nintendo is developing Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance emulators for Switch Online.
…called Sloop, and the 7z archive is called Hiyoko, which is a Game Boy emulator, with all Game Boy games being separate applications. These emulators are developed by NERD (Nintendo Europe Research & Development), and are both functional, albeit with a few bugs. (2/?) pic.twitter.com/RRUAVvz2BX

Trash_Bandatcoot also shared screenshots of the Game Boy game for the Switch, the emulator is almost complete, and the rumors are more credible.

Trash_Bandatcoot also said that the Game Boy games for the Switch are all separate applications, and the video of the Game Boy Advance emulator on the Switch console is attached, but it was deleted immediately. However, Nintendo has not responded to the rumored Game Boy and Game Boy Advanced emulators for Switch Online.
