During the September 2021 Nintendo Direct (Check out our recap here), Nintendo confirmed that a New Membership tier for Nintendo Switch Online will be coming sometime in October and will introduce the long-awaited Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online library. It wasn’t the only new service either as SEGA Genesis – Nintendo Switch Online will also be bringing its own collection of SEGA Genesis games to the system.
While no real details were shared as to the pricing of the new membership that is being branded as Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack or when the two new libraries of games will be available, a number of games that will be available in their respective libraries were in fact listed. Both Libraries will have a select number of games readily available for when the new membership goes live and some of the upcoming games to each library were also listed.
