Nintendo fans may have uncovered exciting clues about upcoming Nintendo Switch Online N64 titles through careful analysis of a recent promotional video. A community of dedicated gamers, spearheaded by vtuber Imakuni, scrutinized blurred cover art snippets shown briefly in Nintendo’s late May update. By sharpening the images and cross-referencing them with classic N64 box art, they believe five unannounced games could soon join the service.
The speculated lineup includes Donkey Kong 64, Forsaken 64, Glover, Rayman 2: The Great Escape, and Super Smash Bros., all fan favorites that would significantly expand the N64 catalog. An X user named Betonoguau later shared a side-by-side comparison video, overlaying the enhanced images with Nintendo’s original footage to highlight the potential reveals.
So far in 2025, the N64 section of Nintendo Switch Online has seen just two additions: Ridge Racer 64 in January and Killer Instinct Gold in May. The service’s expansion coincides with the recent launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, which introduced GameCube titles to the platform. Currently, four GameCube games are available, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Soulcalibur II, F-Zero GX, and Super Mario Strikers, with promises of Super Mario Sunshine and Chibi-Robo arriving later.
While Nintendo hasn’t confirmed these N64 discoveries, the findings have sparked enthusiasm among subscribers eager for more retro classics. If accurate, these additions would mark a major win for preservation and nostalgia-driven gaming.
