Nintendo Switch Online adds two more classic Game Boy games, including one developed by Game Freak

Nintendo Switch Online members can now get their hands on two more classic Game Boy games.

The first of these games is puzzler Yoshi, developed by Game Freak of Pokémon fame, which sees players trying to help Mario liberate his dino-buddy from inside an egg he has been trapped inside. “Now it’s raining Goombas, Bloopers, and Boo Buddies, and you have to help Mario stop the airborne invasion,” reads the official blurb for Yoshi.

“As the critters fall, catch them on trays. Stack two of a kind and they both disappear, or capture the whole bunch in between eggshells. When the eggshells match, out hatches Yoshi and up goes your score! The action heats up as the characters fall faster and faster. To save the day, switch and shuffle, and don’t let your piles get too high!”

The second game is Balloon Kid, which casts players as Alice, a young girl who needs to rescue her brother Jim after he gets swept away by strong winds. “In the little town of Pencilvania, there lived a brother and sister who loved to play with balloons. Alice and her younger brother Jim would spend countless days filling the skies with their balloons. One day, Jim filled all of his balloons and tied them together to make a beautiful balloon rainbow across the sky. But suddenly, a strong wind came and carried Jim away,” the game description teases.

As Alice, players will be able to float delightfully through eight stages, following Jim’s balloon trail. Collecting balloons will earn player’s bonus points.
