Notable current absences such as 1080 Snowboarding, Super Smash Bros. and Wave Race 64 are immediately in my mind. It wouldn’t be amiss to have third-party hits such as Star Wars Rogue Squadron and WWF No Mercy.
As we saw with Banjo-Kazooie’s release, Microsoft appears willing to work with Nintendo to bring Rare classics to Nintendo Switch Online. We’d love to see games such as Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing and Jet Force Gemini on the service if that’s still possible.
There were many cult classics that the N64 had to offer. We know that Nintendo doesn’t mind allowing games in this category to be added to its online collection thanks to WinBack.
I would love to see Mischief Makers and Space Station Silicon Valley, as well as Mystical Ninja, hit the online platform. There are many options for Nintendo. As the line-up grows throughout the year, I hope that Nintendo will be open to adding some surprises and more popular games.
