Despite some complaints from fans, the Expansion Pack has lived up to the hype -- and will continue to exceed it.
Extreme G and Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls added to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online classic game library.
What's great about this is that these titles were never previously discussed, they just sort of came out of left field. I loved the Extreme G series back in the day. They were just beneath Wipeout and FZero, but still really good.
If I remember the courses were good, but the gameplay just slightly beneath wipeout. Farro had the most speed but simple handling mechanics of double tap to dash slide / barge and boosters on track occasionally with the recharge health sections, but wipes out had full weapons, lock on missiles or rockets
Then with your cancel weapon pick up / trading a shield for a missile if you’re behind someone or trade the missile for the shield if you were in First, compared to extreme g which was more basic. I could be wrong tho. It was an awful long time ago.
On a similar note, I always wished starters pod racer had weapons. It would’ve been one of the best.

Nintendo has announced the SNES and Super Famicom games gracing the Nintendo Switch Online library this month, and there are some gems to enjoy.
Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
Yyyyyyyup.
"The critics will no doubt linger out there and complain that $50 to play classic games is too much. But you get some overwhelming value here, and it continues to pay off with each new addition."
It's value because the writer says it's value. Solid logic. I'm gonna save $50 a year and pass on a quarter-baked classics library, thanks.
Its fine now. If they add gameboy and gamecube tho… well that would be just dandy.
Nine. Nine N64 games. Some great ones, to be sure, but fucking NINE. Fourteen Sega games. Get N64 up to 50 and I will re-consider. Also, really need more SNES games, there are some amazing gems that would be awesome to play again.
Still not there yet by a long shot.
