Three Mario Game Boy Games Are Jumping To Nintendo Switch Online
gameranx.comNintendo has revealed three Mario Game Boy games that will be added to Nintendo Switch Online, on the Game Boy app.
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, all three games will be added to the Game Boy app tomorrow, March 12, 2024.

Camelot also made Mario Tennis, which also had Game Boy and Nintendo 64 versions released four months apart from each other, in 2000. Like Mario Golf, Mario Tennis also had an RPG mode that would give players reasons to keep playing it on the go long after they mastered the gameplay mechanics.
