Nintendo Classics is a line of emulated retro games distributed by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online service have access to several dedicated Nintendo Classics apps, each one containing an emulator for a previous Nintendo game console with a library of playable games. Games are accessible as long as the user has an active subscription, although users must connect to the internet at least once a week to access the apps whilst offline. The library was launched alongside the Nintendo Switch Online service in 2018 with 20 Nintendo Entertainment System games, and has expanded to include games from several other consoles, with new games being added on an irregular basis. Subscribers to the more expensive Nintendo Switch Online subscription tier, titled "Expansion Pack", have access to more consoles. The library features numerous games that were not available on the Virtual Console service of Nintendo's previous systems, with some games receiving their first international release through Nintendo Classics.

Features

The replica Nintendo 64 controller (left) does not include a functional expansion slot, but the sealed cavity houses a rumble motor to include the functionality of the original Rumble Pak.

Each Nintendo Classics console emulator is accessed from a dedicated app, with players able to select a game to play from a provided list. The emulators support control remapping and save states, with most consoles also allowing players to rewind gameplay. The Nintendo Classics emulators include online multiplayer support, allowing players to play local multiplayer games remotely with friends. Some NES and SNES games also have an alternative version labeled "SP" ("Extra" in some regions) which alters the game in some way, typically unlocking additional modes, starting the player with additional items or levels, or starting the player midway through the game.

Subscribers can purchase wireless controllers based on those of the represented systems through Nintendo's online store. The controllers have additional buttons for compatibility with the Switch and Switch 2 interface, and enable special Easter eggs when used with the corresponding console emulator.

Standard subscription

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can access games for the NES, Game Boy (top row), Super NES, and Game Boy Color (bottom row).

Nintendo Entertainment System

The Nintendo Switch Online service launched on September 19, 2018, with 20 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) games available for play at launch. During its first year, Nintendo Classics provided a new batch of NES games on a monthly basis. As of September 2, 2026, there are 99 games and 20 "SP" variations available, including the following:

Expansion Pack

Subscribers to the premium "Expansion Pack" tier have access to games for the Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis (top row), Virtual Boy, Game Boy Advance (middle row), and GameCube (bottom row).

Nintendo 64

Announced in a Nintendo Direct on September 23, 2021, Nintendo 64 (N64) games were added to the service worldwide with nine titles on October 25, 2021. Games are based on the NTSC releases using 60 Hz timing; select games also have the option to play the European versions which run at their original PAL 50 Hz speed, including those that support multiple languages. The app does not emulate the ability to save to a Controller Pak, meaning some games can only save progress through the use of save states. An update on June 5, 2025 added the ability to remap each game's control scheme. Players on the Nintendo Switch 2 are also able to rewind gameplay and apply a CRT filter. Games that received a Z rating from the Japanese CERO rating board or an M rating from the ESRB are available as part of a separate "18+" application in Japan or "Mature 17+" application in western regions. As of June 4, 2026, there are 45 games available, including the following:

Virtual Boy

Announced in a Nintendo Direct on September 12, 2025, Virtual Boy (VB) games were added to the service on February 17, 2026, with seven games available at launch. The games display two separate images on either side of the screen to recreate the stereoscopic 3D effect of the original system. The games cannot be displayed in full screen or played while the system is docked, and require the use of an additional headset accessory for proper play. The accessory is available in two formats: a plastic mount based on the original system, and a cardboard sleeve. While not officially supported, the Virtual Boy headsets are also compatible with games that supported the Nintendo Labo VR Kit and vice versa. Players can adjust the screen size and inter-pupillary distance of the display to refine the 3D effect. An update to the application on August 4, 2026, added the ability to view the games in other colors. In addition to released games, the Virtual Boy library includes a pair of previously unreleased games, Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers. As of August 4, 2026, there are 17 games available, including the following:
