The Nintendo Switch has been a massive success since its release in 2017, and one of the main reasons for this is its ability to play classic games from previous consoles. In recent months, Nintendo has added several new titles to its Switch Online service, including 20 iconic games from the Nintendo 64 (N64) era.

For those who are unfamiliar with N64, it was a console that was released in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and is known for housing some of the most beloved games of all time. From Super Mario 64 to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the N64 had a library of games that are still widely enjoyed today.

Now, with the Switch Online service, gamers can play these classic titles on their modern console. And what's even better is that Nintendo has confirmed that more N64 games will be added to the service in the future.

So, which 20 N64 games are currently available on the Switch? Let's take a look:

1. Super Mario 64

2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

3. GoldenEye 007

4. Banjo-Kazooie

5. Donkey Kong 64

6. Yoshi's Story

7. Super Smash Bros.

8. Mario Kart 64

9. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

10. Perfect Dark

11. Star Fox 64

12. F-Zero X

13. Bomberman Hero

14. Diddy Kong Racing

15. Pokémon Snap

16. Kirby 64: Crystal Shards

17. Mario Party

18. Mario Golf

19. Mario Tennis

20. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

These games are a great representation of the N64 library, and offer something for everyone. Whether you're looking to relive fond childhood memories or experience these classic titles for the first time, there's never been a better time to play N64 games on your Switch.

And don't worry about making mistakes while playing - with save states available, players can easily fix any errors they make. Additionally, the rewind feature isn't really necessary for most N64 games, since they are less punishing than some of the other retro titles out there.

As we look to the future, it's exciting to think about what other N64 games might be added to the Switch Online service. Will we see more Rare titles like GoldenEye 007 and Banjo-Kazooie? Only time will tell.

For now, though, Nintendo Switch users can enjoy over 30 N64 games for free with an active subscription to the Expansion Pack tier of the Switch Online service. That's a lot of classic gaming goodness packed into one convenient package!
