N64 Games on Nintendo Switch Online Getting Huge Upgrade

N64 games available via Nintendo Switch Online are getting a huge upgrade with the Nintendo Switch 2. Right now, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers have the option to upgrade their subscription with the Expansion Pack, which, among other things, gives owners access to N64 games on the Nintendo Switch Online app. Right now, this includes 33 different N64 games, including Super Mario 64, GoldenEye 007, Star Fox 64, Wave Race 64, Paper Mario, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and many other great games from this era.
