Nintendo is adding a new membership tier to Nintendo Switch Online that lets you play Nintendo 64 games and Sega Genesis games. The new tier, called Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, will be officially released in late October.

Here’s the launch lineup of N64 games:

  • Super Mario 64

  • WinBack
  • Yoshi’s Story

Here are the N64 games coming in the future:

  • Banjo-Kazooie
  • Pokémon Snap
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
  • Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
  • Mario Golf
  • Paper Mario
  • F-Zero X

And here’s the launch lineup of SEGA Genesis games:

  • Sonic the Hedgehog 2
  • Streets of Rage 2

Nintendo is also releasing Switch versions of the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis controllers, like it did with the NES and SNES controllers. In a move the Notorious B.I.G. could never have pictured, each will be available for $49.99 for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
