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). 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. 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. 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.
