In a surprise update, Nintendo has added three more Nintendo 64 games to the Nintendo Switch Online lineup, giving subscribers the chance to play classic titles like 1080 Snowboarding, Harvest Moon 64, and Jet Force Gemini. Nintendo has been slowly adding Nintendo 64 games to Switch Online since 2021, and it has now added all the previously-announced games to the service.
More specifically, Nintendo has added all the promised Nintendo 64 games to the Expansion Pack tier of its Switch Online service. The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack costs $49.99 per year, as opposed to the $19.99 per year that the base Switch Online costs. The higher price gives subscribers access to a sizable library of Nintendo 64 games along with other perks. Some of the best Nintendo 64 games of all time are readily available to Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers, making it worth it for fans who may have missed out on the games or are nostalgic for them.
Nintendo Switch Online Update Adds Classic N64 Game
The latest update to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack adds a classic N64 game for subscribers to check out.
Nintendo Direct presentations and social media announcements have clued Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers in on what Nintendo 64 games they could expect to be added to the lineup. The surprise additions of 1080 Snowboarding, Harvest Moon 64, and Jet Force Gemini mean that Nintendo has now fulfilled its obligations. It’s possible that more Nintendo 64 games will come to the Switch Online Expansion Pack, but it’s also possible that this will be the last wave of N64 games added to the service. In any case, all three games are widely considered classics in their own right, and they should keep fans plenty busy.
Previously, the only Nintendo 64 game Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers knew to expect for December 2023 was Jet Force Gemini. The Rare-developed Jet Force Gemini is one of the most unique games in the Nintendo 64 library, and so many fans were excited to learn that it was coming to the Switch Online Expansion Pack service. After all, Rare is owned by Xbox, and so there’s never been a guarantee that its games would be added to the Switch Online Expansion Pack library.
