On September 23, Nintendo announced their new membership plan called Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. It is scheduled to launch late October.

Nintendo Switch Online is a monthly subscription-based online service for Nintendo Switch that allows members to access various online features for Nintendo Switch titles, as well as variety of other perks. One of the major benefits is a service that allowed you to play NES and Super NES titles on Switch.

And with the new membership plan, members will be able to play Nintendo 64 and SEGA Genesis titles as well. Several titles have been revealed, including Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Of course, the new plan will include all the base Nintendo Switch Online membership features. “Details on pricing, timing, and more will be shared soon.”

Authentic Nintendo 64 and SEGA Genesis wireless controllers were also announced. According to the official Twitter account, “both will be available for purchase for $49.99 each to any Nintendo Switch Online members.”
