The Virtual Console was succeeded by a feature on [[Nintendo Switch Online]] that allows subscribers to play a library of old games on their [[Nintendo Switch]]. Currently only {{g|Snap}}, {{g|Puzzle League}}, and {{g|Stadium}} are available, but it requires the Expansion Pack tier of the subscription. {{g|Stadium 2}} will also be available through this service in 2023. Unfortunately, it will not have a way to connect to the Game Boy games or Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console.
