Nintendo 64 titles coming to the subscription just in time for the console's 25th anniversary, but to the surprise of many fans, so are SEGA Genesis games. Announced in the Nintendo Direct shared on September 23, SEGA Genesis titles will be playable on the best-selling hybrid console as part of Nintendo Switch Online's newest payment plan. It's combined with the Nintendo 64 titles in the "Expansion Pack" plan, fittingly named after an age-old N64 perhipheral. The price of the plan has yet to be revealed, only said to be discussed at a later date.

I'm really looking forward to the N64 titles and I'm intrigued to see where the Sega releases go. Will they eventually include Sega Master System games? How about Saturn or Dreamcast? All great options with great titles, it would be nice to see them get a bit of new life in them! Very good potential!
 
I've been getting the itch to play Paper Mario again so I'm glad it's coming to Switch. Same with Kirby and the Crystal Shards. I remember that game was hard to 100% as a kid, but I should have no problem now.

For sure getting paper mario at some point myself, wonder if I still have the old guide.....
 
Have Nintendo Switch entered into the league of micro-transactions for their games?
I am seeing games playable on Nintendo Switch only through subscription pack, that's why I'm asking.
