"Pokémon Stadium, Mario Party, Pilotwings 64, 1080° Snowboarding, Excitebike 64, & more will be gradually added to the Nintendo 64 library on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Stay tuned for more details in the future! "
A brand new Mario Party title is currently in development for Nintendo hardware, based on the latest report.
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.

Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Stadium 2 is doubly effective if you ask me.
And for Japan, they're also getting Harvest Moon 64.
Great additions all around, especially the shock of the year with GoldenEye finally seeing the light of day for the time since 1997. Mario Party 1-2-3 still get played in my house with the original carts and system, but this will make it much more convenient for hangouts.
