Nintendo Switch Online Adds New N64 Features for Switch 2 Subscribers

The Nintendo Switch 2’s launch next week will also bring with it the addition of a major new feature for Nintendo Switch Online that will be exclusive to the new console in the form of GameCube titles, but several other features are being added for next-gen subscribers as well. 

For instance, Nintendo has released a new trailer to detail some of the new features that those subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will be able to use with N64 titles on the Nintendo Switch 2. Specifically, subscribers will be able to rewind their games, both view and change controls, and apply a CRT filter to your screen for a more retro look (which will be available with GameCube titles as well). Viewing and changing controls will be available on the Switch as well, but the other new features are all Switch 2- exclusive, Nintendo says. 

The Switch 2 launches on June 5, and will have three GameCube titles available at launch for the service’s subscribers in the form of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and Soulcalibur 2. Others, such as the likes of Super Mario Sunshine, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, Pokemon Colosseum, Luigi’s Mansion, and more, will be added down the line.
