#N64 GAMES ON SWITCH FULL#
Pay $50 upfront for a full year, Nintendo told fans, or don't play at all. But what about performance, options, and controls? Without a "one month" subscription option to the NSO Expansion Pack, interested fans had no low-cost way to find out. A brief sizzle reel highlighted the collection's biggest games, including Super Mario 64, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Star Fox 64. For many interested fans, that price jump was about the N64 collection.Īnd as its Monday launch neared, Nintendo remained mum on exactly how this NSO N64 collection would work. Never mind that the price also included an Animal Crossing expansion pack (which retro gaming fans may not want) and Sega Genesis games (which have been mostly released ad nauseam on every gaming system of the past decade). All Nintendo 64 games included with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack can be played in 60Hz English language versions, Nintendo says. That "bit extra" ballooned to $30 more per year, on top of the existing $20/year fee-a 150 percent jump in annual price. One month later, however, Nintendo's sales proposition grew more sour. Pay a bit extra, the company said, and you'd get a select library of N64 classics, emulated by the company that made them, on Switch consoles as part of an active NSO subscription. Additional controllers (sold separately) may be required. Multiplayer requires one compatible controller per player. Unfortunately, the result isn't exactly the Super Mario 64-styled "wa-hoo!" we'd been hoping for.Īfter years of "N64 mini" rumors (which have yet to come to fruition), Nintendo announced plans to honor its first fully 3D gaming system late last month in the form of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. Available for purchase only by Nintendo Switch Online members, this wireless controller offers the perfect way to play these classic Nintendo 64 games. On Monday, Nintendo released its latest collection of emulated N64 games-and its first since the Wii U's Virtual Console-as a package of games exclusively available on its Switch consoles.
