Expansion Pack Enhances Nintendo Switch's Retro Gaming Library
Nintendo has announced the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, a membership plan that provides access to an extensive collection of classic games from various consoles, including the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Advance.
In the world of first-person shooters, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, exclusive to the Nintendo 64, pits players against the evil being Primagen, which must be defeated by the new Turok, Joshua Fireseed. Adon guides players through their journey in this action-packed game.
Another notable addition to the Nintendo 64 collection is Banjo-Tooie, a platformer featuring Banjo and Kazooie navigating through various stages filled with minigames, puzzles, and enemies. Players can act independently as both characters and swap between different types of eggs for various attacks.
The Game Boy Advance collection includes F-ZERO CLIMAX, a racing game featuring 24 racers, multiple game modes, and tracks designed to test the player's skills. Additionally, F-Zero GP Legend, also on the Game Boy Advance, involves racing plasma-powered machines against elite competitors on dangerous tracks across the universe.
The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership plan also gives access to select DLC for Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, and Splatoon 2. For instance, the future of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is expanded with additional content.
In the story of SHADOW MAN, a game on the Nintendo 64, Mike LeRoi, a student of English literature turned hired assassin, becomes the SHADOW MAN in Deadside, a place beyond death. The future of humanity is at stake in this dark and mysterious game, rated MATURE 17.
The story of SHADOW MAN begins with a prophetic vision of an apocalypse. Similarly, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is also set in a world where the fate of humanity is in peril.
While no prior context was provided for games from the SEGA Genesis, Super NES, or NES systems, the Expansion Pack includes a variety of retro games from these consoles as well. The exact list of added GBA titles was not explicitly provided, but the Expansion Pack includes access to the Game Boy Advance collection alongside Nintendo 64 and SEGA Genesis collections of games.
With the addition of these classic games, the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack substantially increases the available classic library on Nintendo Switch, enhancing the retro gaming offerings on the platform.
