"We're now several months into a brand new Nintendo generation, and waiting impatiently for important information such as the release date for Metroid Prime 4 and the whereabouts of the next 3D Mario game. But in the meantime, the company has been gradually updating its various retro console emulators on Nintendo Switch Online, with the latest being the Game Boy Advance."
"As spotted by , the 3.0.0 update to the GBA app adds button remapping, which is already possible with the N64 and SNES emulators. Accessible from the menu while playing a game, this allows you to mess around with controls if you're not happy with the default option, which admittedly does feel like something that should have been there from the beginning, but hey."
"Perhaps the most enjoyable addition of all, however, is the hidden original GBA startup screen, which you can by wiggling the analogue stick when booting the app. I test this, and it is (obviously) delightful. Nintendo added a similar Easter egg to its GameCube app earlier this year. Unfortunately, the updated GBA emulator doesn't include any new game drops. The most recent title to join the service was Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones back in April,"
The GBA app on Nintendo Switch Online received a 3.0.0 update that adds button remapping accessible from the in-game menu. Players can change controls while playing to override the default layout. GBA titles now run at 1080p in handheld mode on newer Switch hardware, likely defaulting to higher resolution instead of the original 720p stretch. Users can enable a bordered small screen or a "classic feel" filter that applies analog-style scanlines. A hidden original GBA startup screen appears when wiggling the analogue stick during app boot. The update did not add new games; the most recent addition was Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones in April.
