New rumors suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have an improved performance while docked, but perhaps not so much in handheld mode.
2 Classic N64 Games Added to Nintendo Switch Online
24.04.2024 - 22:57 / comingsoon.net / Nintendo
A pair of Nintendo 64 racing games are now available for members. Players can put rubber to the road in the futuristic racing game Extreme-G or roll out with Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls.
Developer Probe Entertainment and publisher Acclaim Entertainment released Extreme-G in 1997. Set in the distant future, the game sees racers darting across a destroyed earth. Their plasma-powered motorcycles rocket down the twelve roller coaster-like tracks at incredible speed and boast various offensive and defensive abilities. The Nintendo Switch Online version also supports four-player local and online multiplayer. The game saw a fairly positive reception at launch, averaging 82/100 on Metacritic.
Meanwhile, 1998’s Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls shows you don’t need wheels to have a racing game. The game was developed by Iguana Entertainment and initially published by Acclaim, with Throwback Entertainment publishing it for Nintendo Switch Online. The game features several ball-shaped characters ascending towering tracks. Players use grappling hooks to both climb up platforms and slow down opponents. It also supports up to four players in competitive multiplayer. Reckin’ Balls didn’t have the best critical reception, with review aggregator GameRankings giving it an average score of 69.35%.
Note that members needed Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass to play N64 games like Extreme-G and Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls. It costs $49.99 for one year, about $20 more than the standard membership. In addition to N64 games, it also grants access to Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance and Sega Genesis catalogs, as well as the NES, SNES, and Game Boy Games from the standard membership.

Nintendo Switch 2 Might Be Losing One Iconic Element, & New Joy-Cons Are To Blame
Based on rumors so far, the Nintendo Switch 2 seems to be mostly focused on keeping what people love about the Switch and improving on it, but a new report indicates that one iconic element of the system could be going away with its successor. The long wait for news on the console has been full of ups and downs, dating back to the time when a Switch Pro was expected before a new system entirely. More recently, a presumed 2024 date seemed to slip out the window in favor of a 2025 release, making the wait even longer.
