The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack got off to a somewhat rough start, as some Nintendo fans weren't happy about the pricing and others weren't impressed by the quality of the Nintendo 64 emulation. Since then, Nintendo has worked to boost the value of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack by adding more games and other bonuses, on top of improving game performance. Nintendo is still adding new content to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, confirming when exactly fans can expect the next Nintendo 64 game to hit the service.
Nintendo has announced that Mario Golf is the next Nintendo 64 game coming to the Switch Online Expansion Pack. Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers will be able to play the Nintendo 64 Mario Golf when it launches on Friday, April 15, with new bells and whistles like online multiplayer.
The addition of Mario Golf to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack means that Nintendo has added nearly every promised Nintendo 64 game to the service. In fact, after Mario Golf is added on April 15, Nintendo will only have two more promised games to add to the lineup. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards still hasn't been added to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack at the time of this writing, and neither has the original Pokemon Snap. But at the rate Nintendo has been adding games to the service, it's a safe bet that they will make their debuts sooner rather than later.
Even though Nintendo has almost added all the previously announced Nintendo 64 games to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, it doesn't mean that more won't be added down the line. Dataminers have found evidence that Nintendo is already planning to add even more Nintendo 64 games to the service, with the N64 Mario Party trilogy, the original Super Smash Bros., and Wave Race all mentioned as possibilities.
There are also rumors that GoldenEye 007 could come to the Switch Online Expansion Pack, though that seems highly unlikely. If any other Rare-developed games come to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, more likely scenarios would be titles like Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Tooie, especially since Banjo-Kazooie is already part of the lineup.
There are many other great Nintendo 64 games that fans would love to see release for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, so hopefully the service has all the must-play N64 games available by the time it's all said and done. For now, Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers can look forward to playing Mario Golf come Friday, April 15.
Mario Golf is available now for the Nintendo 64.
