Nintendo Switch Online Adds Classic N64 Platformers

Nintendo is expanding its online retro gaming offerings, announcing the upcoming inclusion of two popular 3D platformers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack's N64 library.

Subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack can anticipate the arrival of both Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Tonic Trouble on December 17, 2025. These titles, both released in 1999 by Ubi Soft, represent a significant boost to the classic game collection. Rayman 2 tasks players with a grand adventure to rescue the Fairy Glade from Admiral Razorbeard, featuring the signature collecting and platforming action fans expect. Tonic Trouble, while perhaps lesser-known, offers a quirky narrative where players control an alien named Ed, sent to Earth to rectify a cosmic mishap involving a strange liquid polluting the planet's water supply.

This update provides a wonderful opportunity for both long-time fans to revisit cherished memories and for new players to discover these gems from the N64 era. The continuous addition of classic games underscores the value of the Switch Online service, offering a diverse and growing catalog that celebrates the rich history of video gaming. Engaging with these titles allows players to appreciate the creativity and innovation that defined gaming in previous decades, fostering a sense of connection with gaming's past while enjoying them on modern hardware.
