Nintendo Switch Online adds two more Nintendo 64 titles to its classic library



Two classic titles join the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack game lineup. Available starting April 24th will be the motorcycle racing game Extreme G and another quirky racing game, Iggy's Reckin' Balls. Both titles will feature local and online multiplayer.

Today, two racing games originally released on the Nintendo 64™ system are bringing full throttle thrills to players with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership! Careen around rollercoaster racetracks in Extreme-G™ and bounce up, up and away in the offbeat Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls™ game when these titles join the Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online library.

Not going to lie, first time hearing/seeing Iggy's Reckin Balls.

I own several 90s Nintendo magazines and none mentioned that game.
Maybe the infamous N64 Magazine did but I only have 3 incomplete magazines.

Kinda curious to try it in my Wii's Not64, Nintendo Switch Online Service Expansion Pack... thingie... whatever:rolleyes:

I played tons of XG2 as a kid, and vaguely remember seeing Iggy's Ball game at blockbuster many times and passed it up for probably better titles. Still, curious if many people get genuinely excited for these ROMs just because they're on a switch.

Because they're free for most people on this site.

What a good service, thank you for these N64 games Nintendo. I love wasting money instead of using emulators to play for free decades ago. :wub:
Literally applies to any of the services on any of the systems and pirating in general. Thanks for the free games, but I've already been pirating them for free. Cool beans dude.

The thing is, with pirated ones you can take the file anywhere you want to another PC, Laptop, Android, Console, etc, but when it's via a subscription you're locked to obeying their rules.

That's fine as people signed up and paid for the service, but a bit sad, though.

PSP Go got so much shit for going digital too early and now most don't mind it being just rentals.

    I feel like at that point might as well go emulation lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One of those RG things
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Some people just like using original hardware for the hobby point of it
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can easily buy replacement buttons but it's a good fall back
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    on screen keys would be cool but the gba screen is pretty tiny though :(
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd rather use emulation but it's cool regardless again the main point of the Touchscreen isn't just for buttons but for menu options
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    would be way better for menu options
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    although I have huge doubts anyone would be able to make homebrew that would give support for the touch screen
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    then again theres still people who develop games on systems as old as the nes for fun
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    (
    micromages is amazing btw)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I doubted 360 emulation would be possible
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    yet here we are seeing ps4 and even some (very experimental
    ) ps5 emulation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps5 emulation? Why
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I always thought Saturn emulation would straight up be impossible
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just the atchiture is insanely complex
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's why it annoys me when people rant about things being impossible when it comes to software some things should just be focused on more than others
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    because they want to flex their insane developer skills ofc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    We have ps5 exploits where's an article talking about ps5 emulation?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    if i wanted to play gb games on a touch screen device i would just use my phone
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    heres ps4/5
    emulation (it is far from playing actual games yet but its something) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe71pCjC9U
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
