N64 Classics May Be on Their Way to Nintendo Switch Online
Exciting news for retro gamers! It seems several beloved N64 titles could be making their way to Nintendo Switch Online soon, thanks to some keen-eyed fans spotting clues in a recent trailer.
In May, Nintendo released a video that featured a segment where several blurred N64 games appeared in the background. Many initially thought these were just the existing titles available on the platform. However, savvy fans have suggested that some of these blurred images correspond to games yet to be included in the service.
Highlighted by @ImakuniVT, it appears that the obscured artwork might indicate Nintendo has plans to add more classics to their retro library. While it’s possible that these images are merely placeholders, speculation is rife.
Speculations About the Blurred Titles
In a follow-up video, content creator Andre Segers delves deeper into the blurred images, theorizing about which games might be hidden beneath the haze. Expectations are running high for titles like Donkey Kong 64, Forsaken 64, Glover, and the original Super Smash Bros.
Currently, the Nintendo 64 catalog on the service features over 30 games, combining both first-party classics and third-party gems like Banjo-Kazooie. Titles like Donkey Kong 64 and Super Smash Bros. have been fervently requested since the beginning of the retro game rollout on modern consoles.
With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, fans were thrilled to see GameCube titles added to the classic games library, including Super Mario Strikers, alongside other favorites like F-Zero GX and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
This surge in classic game accessibility not only brings nostalgia but also hints at a bright future for more retro experiences on contemporary gaming systems.
