These five Mega Man games on Game Boy are now on Switch.

Nintendo has added five new games from the original Game Boy to its catalog of playable titles. Specifically, all five of these games happen to stem from Capcom's iconic action-platformer series, Mega Man. Rather than release these titles on their own for purchase on the Nintendo eShop, though, they're instead all accessible to those who are subscribed to the Nintendo Switch Online subscription platform.

Within recent days, Nintendo added the likes of Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge, Mega Man II, Mega Man III, Mega Man IV, and Mega Man V to Nintendo Switch Online. These are the first additions to Switch Online that have come about in the month of June and are some pretty major ones. While these Game Boy versions of the various Mega Man games likely aren't as well-remembered as their NES counterparts, they're still great ports in their own way.

When it comes to the way in which you can access these Mega Man titles on Switch, they happen to be available as part of the base Nintendo Switch Online membership. Games from NES, SNES, and Game Boy are playable for all NSO subscribers, while Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance titles are only up for grabs to those with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier.

To learn more about all of these Mega Man games that have come to Nintendo Switch, you can find descriptions and a new trailer for the whole lineup attached below.
