N64 and Mega Drive games coming to Nintendo Switch Online (Paid Expansion, coming in October)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
This will be MUSHA's widest audience yet, assuming subscribers play it. Hopefully this paves the way for other non-Nintendo systems on the service.
People are really pissed that this might be more expensive?
The service currently costs less than $2 per month. C'mon now.

If they want to charge extra it needs to be more than just this IMO. I've got MD Classics on Switch already.. as much as I love N64, some games have dated horribly..
They said they'll talk more about it later, so if there are other benefits - I'm in - but otherwise I'm not really sure

Really need some deeper cuts than the standard N64 & Genesis bundle games for me to consider this. Stick Mischief Maker or some Working Designs Sega CD games on there and we'll talk.
If you really wanted Mario 64 on Switch you had to pay 60 bucks and that gave you Sunshine and Galaxy as well.
So all things considered, it's probably the cheapest option to play Mario 64 all things considered....outside of a cheap n64 cart I guess.
i think i'll finally play winback. that's a weird one and good to see.
And poor sound and unplayably bad online… the NSO versions will probably be superior in every way.
That Banjo tease at the end of the scroll haha, they know what they're doing for the HYPE!
Really happy about this, even though I'm actually a little disappointed no GB after all that lol. Megadrive is cool too, hopefully not long for a TG16 addition too!
I much prefer the subscription model to individual purchases, it's so cheap anyway and I get all the games. There's no way I'm buying the random 'deep cut' games but I like to play them and see if they're cool so having it all on a sub is good. It's all digital bullshit anyway so it's not like you own anything either way.
Sucks that it's still a month away, as it was pretty much the highlight of the Direct to me personally I was looking forward to it 'later today'. :(

I'd imagine some of them would come out in November and December. So we'd have the first set then a month later maybe Majora and Paper Mario, then in December Banjo for Christmas.
If they do one Nintendo game and one third party a month they could spread it out for awhile.
There were no Hz difference with GBA games. Maybe DracX pal version will have slowdown.
I was thinking of course of the SNES game, the others are regular ass gameboy advance games.
They never ran at 50Hz to begin with.
Mega CD releases would open the door to n64 DD games.
Considering how complicated it is to get n64 DD games these days, that would make the service well worth whatever price they have in mind.
Might get the upgrade honestly. I will actually some decent play time out of the N64 games.
The 360 version has bots.
Sega CD Snatcher would be nice, too. Konami might be better off selling it separately, though. As long as it gets re-released, I will be happy.
Is it really hard to understand that some people would rather own the games they buy than deal with subscription FOMO? I'd rather selectively buy what I want than this Netflix model where 90% of it I won't play.
If the price increase is more than like $5 a year I'll probably pass.
I want to buy that N64 controller for some reason though. Just to have.

Don't expect anything other than higher internal resolutions. 20fps games will probably remain 20fps.
Listen Switch Online is so cheap as is the extra cost ain't that bad though still bogus as I don't find the current offering that valuable, but only 9 N64 games at launch come on now.
the regular bots you mean because i remember on the n64 having more bots and having the option to target someone or to target me and they being in different color.
I'm liking the looks of this but...
I sure hope this isn't implying Europe is getting 50hz versions of certain games, 'cos I'll have to start up an entirely different NSO subscription on my US account.
Pretty sure you can make a different region account(non NSO), download that region's console app(ex: Famicom/Super Famicom) and play with your NSO account
That's how I play Famicom games. Don't need a Japan account with NSO to get it.
And there are matrix fields full of people who are willing to pay up.
I'm not going into that whole "do we actually own digital games lol" argument and that's not even the point. All I can tell you is that I can still play Super Mario 64 and Sin and Punishment on my Wii still.
I dunno, a price increase for N64 and Genesis seems reasonable enough. N64 games are definitely more valuable than SNES ones.
English localization for Sin & Punishment would have me ecstatic.
Mischief Makers would rule. I'd also like to try to get into Hybrid Heaven again.
Consolidation to a hybrid system and online multiplayer is something I can understand. This is hard to gauge since the price isn't announced, though, and Nintendo likely chose to wait so that they can check out the responses and feedback.
The current membership plan is relatively cheap, though (IMO), so I believe there is some reasonable leeway with the price increase.
That's the bananas part to me, lol. Whenever I see Nintendo do something like this, I just picture Justin Bieber (Nintendo) spitting on his (their) fans (lol).
Can't knock the hustle I guess.
I don't understand. Is that not a thing you can do? Pretty sure most digital PS3 games can be played on the PS4?
Edit: Oh, I guess I'm wrong? But that's a Sony thing. They can fuck off for that. Same with Nintendo.
MUSHA on Switch is a power move
I'm one of those folks who never bought a Switch due to... well, many things, and was disappointed with the OLED Switch announcement, but I'd buy a Switch for MUSHA.
Sorry I wasn't clear - I was never able to buy them because they won't accept my (non-US) credit card.
