Nintendo has confirmed that the upcoming Game Boy Advance versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen will arrive on Switch next week, but they won't be added to the Switch Online Expansion Pack like earlier GBA releases. The company addressed fan questions about the release format and made clear there are no further announcements about additional retro ports at this time.

  • FireRed and LeafGreen are being released on Switch as standalone GBA remasters rather than joining the Expansion Pack library.
  • Nintendo told fans it has nothing further to announce about adding more legacy titles to the service for now.
  • Details on linking, trading, or multiplayer features for these releases remain unclear and have not been confirmed.
  • The approach raises fresh questions about whether Nintendo will pursue more Virtual Console-style launches or follow a different path for classic games.
