Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is, after all, the best-selling Switch game, and both Super Smash Bros. These three games, in many ways, are what defined the Nintendo 64 and have each gone on to grow into some of the biggest franchises for Nintendo in the company's long-running history. The titles that immediately come to mind are Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros., and Mario Party (the second or third entries being more likely than the original, due to the first entry's infamous joystick mini-games). Seeing as the Switch Online service enables players to play old retro classics online with friends and the Nintendo 64 was well known for its 4-player multiplayer fun, it would only make sense for Nintendo to include some of its most famous multiplayer titles.

While some believe that the Game Boy is next, Nintendo 64 would certainly make sense, especially with the recent Super Mario 3D All-Stars showing that a Nintendo 64 emulator is already up and running on the hybrid console. With such a large catalogue of titles to choose from, there's certainly no shortage of games that could be included in a Nintendo 64 online pack. First launching the Nintendo Entertainment System app in 2018 and the Super Nintendo app in 2019, many Switch owners believe that the console is overdue for a Nintendo 64 application, which could pack in a collection of old 64-bit titles to play with a Switch Online subscription.

While you can buy a collection of these, the emulation wasn't great, with odd sounds when collecting rings in Sonic 2 for instance.īut with this now coming to the service, it opens up potential for other consoles to arrive someday.Since the Nintendo Switch Online service first launched just over two years ago, Nintendo has rewarded its fans with the ability to play old classics, free of charge, through the ease of the Nintendo Switch Online apps. However, this wasn't the only addition, with SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive games also appearing on the service soon. But if you think there's a better chance for GoldenEye to appear, I'd stop. This now means that other games from Rare's library could appear, from Banjo-Tooie, to Blast Corps. Reading between the lines, it looks to be another agreement between Nintendo and Microsoft, who own Rare, the maker of Banjo Kazooie. However, seeing Banjo Kazooie as another game appearing at a later date was a shock.

There was also mention of F-Zero X arriving to the service, and while this is also a game I was hoping to see appear, having its expansion pack for the 64DD, an add-on that was quickly discontinued for the N64, would be a welcome addition. It's the 3D Zelda game that I find the best, second only to Breath of the Wild. Having wanted to play Zelda: Majoras Mask on my Switch for years, to see it on its way was the highlight of the Nintendo Direct for me.
