Switch Online GBA App Hides Easter Egg

For readers in the UK following Nintendo news, a reported hidden Easter egg has been found in the Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy Advance app, also known as the Nintendo Classics app. The initial report came via MSN, but the exact nature of the Easter egg has not been confirmed.

The Game Boy Advance library arrived on Nintendo Switch Online in February 2023, giving subscribers access to titles such as Kuru Kuru Kururin and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. That makes this latest report a small but interesting extra for players who like to poke around the service’s menus and features.

At this stage, there is no clear description of what the Easter egg does. It could be a visual detail, a sound cue, or a message tucked away in the app, but the source does not say. For now, it is simply another bit of curiosity for fans of Nintendo’s handheld history.

The Game Boy Advance remains one of Nintendo’s most loved handhelds, with its horizontal design and later SP revision helping define the system’s look and feel. Official emulation on Switch is a different approach from hardware-based solutions such as the Analogue Pocket, but both keep GBA games in active conversation among retro players.
