Nintendo Switch Online Adds Two More Game Boy Gems

Rescue Alice in Balloon Kid and Stack Enemies in Yoshi - New Additions to Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo has added two more classic titles to its Nintendo Switch Online service: Balloon Kid and Yoshi. Subscribers can now access these games via the Game Boy Classics app on their Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite. In Balloon Kid, players take on the role of Alice, whose brother Jim has floated away while playing with balloons. The game combines platforming with puzzle elements as Alice attempts to rescue him. In Balloon Trip mode, players can also compete for high scores while navigating through the air. Yoshi challenges players to catch falling enemies and stack them strategically to clear the screen. While the gameplay is simple, it can be highly addictive. Nintendo Switch Online subscribers already have access to both games, allowing them to download and play these Game Boy classics immediately.
