N64, Genesis games are officially coming to Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo has confirmed that N64 and Sega Genesis games are coming to Switch Online in October.

During its Direct stream, the company confirmed that a new ‘Expansion Pak’ tier for its paid Switch Online service will be added to include games from these systems.

Some of the N64 games include Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64, while the Genesis titles include Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Castlevania Bloodlines and Contra Hard Corps.

As with Switch Online’s existing NES and SNES catalogues, new N64 and Genesis titles will be added periodically.

Nintendo says Expansion Pak details, including specific pricing and release timing, will come at a later date. For now, though, Nintendo Switch Online costs $4.99 CAD/month, $9.99/three months or $24.99/year.
