Just last week, Nintendo’s long-awaited Expansion Pack for its Switch console’s online services went live, much to the nostalgia-fueled joy of the iconic studio’s lifelong fans. Along with immediate access to a handful of games originally released for the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis consoles — two of the video game industry’s most beloved systems from the 1990s — subscribers to the service will also gain access to the Happy Home Paradise DLC for the Animal Crossing: New Horizons title when the downloadable content goes live on November 5th.
While Nintendo announced that it plans to gradually release more titles for the service in the future, its initial release came out swinging with access to classic games like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Mario Kart 64, Streets of Rage, Starfox 64, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For those gamers who grew up with these titles, the service’s price tag of $50/year seems more than reasonable.
