RELATED: Banjo-Kazooie Offers Hope That Other Xbox-Owned Nintendo 64 Games Could Come to Switch Online A Nintendo 64 Gaming RennaissanceĪ lot of older gaming consoles are remembered fondly, but perhaps none as fondly as the Nintendo 64. There are still plenty of issues with Nintendo's online services, but adding N64 games to Nintendo Switch Online could bring it up to par with other console services like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold. This could really be a game-changer for the titles that would support online play and result in more players returning to 64-bit classics than ever before. While many of the issues with the Switch's online services are still apparent, the addition of Nintendo 64 titles to the console's lineup is exciting as the games will have online elements that weren't featured in the original versions.

One of Nintendo's biggest pitfalls is its poor online services, however, Nintendo Switch Online recently announced something exciting for longtime fans of the company: select N64 games will be digitally available with memberships.

However, the other side of that coin means that Nintendo is often far behind other companies in certain regards. This isn't always a bad thing as that means that Nintendo is more likely to innovate with many of its games and its hardware design than the company's other major video game competition. Nintendo as a company is always interesting to watch because, generally speaking, it marches to the beat of its own drum.
