Kirby 64 Now Available on Nintendo Switch Online – CNET

Nintendo Switch Online’s classic games library has expanded. The N64 platformer Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is now available on the subscription service.

Like other N64 games, the classic title is playable through the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online app, an exclusive download for Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack members.

This premium subscription offers all the benefits of the base Nintendo Switch Online service along with a few extra perks, namely a library of classic Sega Genesis games and access to various DLC, including Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Happy Home Paradise expansion and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass.

An individual Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack subscription costs $50 per year, while a family plan runs for $80. The latter covers up to eight Nintendo accounts, even across multiple systems.

Nintendo has been adding one new N64 game to Switch Online’s classic games library almost monthly since the Expansion Pack plan launched last October. Last month brought Mario Golf, while F-Zero X was added in April. At least one more N64 game–Pokemon Snap–is still on the way.
