Nintendo has expanded its Switch Online subscription service by adding a new app that currently houses a library of M17+ classic Nintendo 64 (N64) games.
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Adds M17+ Games App
Switch Online Mature 17+ App Debuts in the West
During the recent Nintendo Direct June 2024 held this week, it was announced that two classic Nintendo 64 (N64) games, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Perfect Dark, are added to the Switch Online Expansion Pack, Nintendo's premium tier subscription service that offered Nintendo 64 (N64), Sega Genesis, and Game Boy Advance games to the expansion pack's collection. However, unlike previously released N64 titles these two games are only available in a brand new "Mature 17+" app that currently houses games with an M17+ ESRB rating.
This announcement also meant the debut of the mature games app in the West, having been exclusively available to players in the region of Japan for some time. This exciting addition follows the recent Nintendo Direct broadcast, bringing a new dimension to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. The M17+ collection app is separate from the one that houses existing N64 releases. Currently, there is no option to merge these M17+ games with the other N64 titles.
All four games are currently available for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members! Here is an overview of the games the Expansion Pack added:
