The Nintendo Switch Online additional pack that allows you to play 64 and Megadora will start on October 26th.Animal Crossing DLC-Engadget Japanese version

Nintendo will offer a new rate plan for the online service “Nintendo Switch Online”, “Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack” from October 26th.

The new rate plan includes NINTENDO 64 games such as “Super Mario 64”, “Sin and Punishment”, “Mario Cart 64”, and “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time”, “Sonic the Hedgehog 2”, “Gunstar Heroes”, and “Puyopuyo”. Many Sega Mega Drive games such as “Golden Ax” have been added as much as you want.

The N64 controller and Mega Drive Fighting Pad 6B, which you can play as they were at that time, will accept pre-orders from today and will be shipped after October 26th.

In addition, “Happy Home Paradise” (2500 yen), which was just announced as a paid additional content for “Animal Crossing: New Year’s Forest”, can be used as one of the subscriber benefits at no additional cost.

Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo Switch Online is a service that you need to subscribe to when playing online with Nintendo Switch. In addition to basic online play, it includes save data in the cloud, voice chat for smartphones, game-linked apps, subscriber-only products and limited software.

In the conventional rate plan, there was a privilege to play a lot of software of family computer and Super Nintendo, but in the newly announced “+ additional pack”, Nintendo 64 and Mega Drive will be added.

NINTENDO 64 title

The following 8 Nintendo 64 games can be played from the first day.

  • Super Mario 64

  • Mario Kart 64

  • Star fox 64

  • Yoshi’s Story

  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

  • WIN BACK

  • Mario Tennis 64

  • Sin and Punishment Heir to the Earth

In the future, we will continue to add titles such as the following.

Nintendo Switch Online

14 works can be played on Mega Drive from the beginning.

  • Strider Hiryu

  • Puyo Puyo

  • Golden ax

  • Gunstar Heroes

  • Warrior arrester

  • Phantasy Star-At the end of the millennium-

  • Lister the Shooting Star

  • Shining Force ~ The Legacy of the Gods ~

  • The Super Shinobi II

  • Sonic the Hedgehog 2

  • Streets of Rage II Requiem for Death Fight

  • VAMPIRE KILLER

  • Contra The Hardcore

  • Ecco the Dolphin

Up to 4 people on Rokuyon and up to 2 people on Mega Drive support online multiplayer. Of course, local multiplayer is also supported (if the original game supports it).

(With a maximum of 2 players on Mega Drive, I feel that General Chaos, Magical Unification Battle, and Columns 3 cannot be played online even though it is an environment where controllers can be easily aligned and connected, but games with 3 or more players will be added at the same time. I pray that.

On the Fighting Pad 6B product page, you can only connect up to two switches to a single switch, even in local multiplayer.)

Also, while the Mega Drive supports the same rewinding as the NES and SNES, it is not included in the N64 description. Both support state save.

SEGA Mega Drive Nintendo Switch

SEGA / Nintendo

The dedicated controller sold exclusively to subscribers is 5478 yen including tax for both the NINTENDO 64 controller and the Mega Drive Fighting Pad 6B.

It can also be purchased by conventional Nintendo Switch Online subscribers who are not “+ additional packs”. In other words, you can pre-order now before the new rate plan starts. Shipment is after October 26th.

Both look like they were at the time and are USB-C charged Bluetooth controllers. While the NINTENDO 64 controller has a built-in vibration function, peripheral devices such as a vibration pack cannot be connected. I’d like to use the vibrating fighting pad 6B, but the game doesn’t support it.

Animal Crossing HPP

Nintendo

Atsumare Animal Crossing’s paid additional content “Animal Crossing: New Year’s Forest Happy Home Paradise” is 2500 yen for purchase, but if you are a “+ Additional Pack” subscriber, you can play it at no additional cost. However, you can play only during the period you have subscribed, and only to the account you have subscribed to.

The charge for Nintendo Switch Online + additional pack is 4900 yen for 12 months for the individual plan and 8900 yen for the family plan.

The conventional Nintendo Switch Online is 2400 yen for 12 months for individual plans and 4500 yen for family plans, so 200 yen per month will be about 409 yen.

Previously, there was a short-term plan of 306 yen for 1 month and 815 yen for 3 months only for individuals, but + additional packs are only for 12 months subscription.
