The Nintendo Switch offers official support for retro systems like the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis, but classic handheld consoles like the Game Boy Advance have been conspicuously absent — until now. Early this week, an anonymous leaker uploaded two emulators to a filesharing site, and they appear to be official Game Boy and Game Boy Advance emulators developed by Nintendo for the Switch.
According to GBATemp, hackers with modified Switches have already transferred the emulators onto their consoles, and they actually work. The Game Boy Advance emulator is called Sloop, and its original Game Boy counterpart is Hiyoko. The leak was apparently dumped from a Switch console itself, rather than mined from Nintendo's servers. It also appears that the emulators have some support for old-school link cables, which players could use to swap Pokemon and play multiplayer together.
