Forsaken 64 Joins Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack's Mature Lineup in September 2025

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers are set to receive another dose of nostalgia and excitement as Forsaken 64 joins the Nintendo 64 app’s exclusive Mature 17+ section on September 4, 2025.

This marks a significant update to the Nintendo Switch's expanding library of classic titles available through its online membership service. Nintendo introduced the Mature 17+ section within the Nintendo 64 app for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members in June 2023.

While the initial offerings were limited, the dedicated section signifies Nintendo's commitment to providing a diverse range of N64 experiences—including games tailored for older audiences.

With the addition of Forsaken 64, subscribers can look forward to even more variety in their retro gaming catalog. Originally launched for the Nintendo 64 system in 1998, Forsaken 64 is recognized not only for its intense first-person shooter gameplay but also for its controversial, attention-grabbing advertising featuring model Donna Decianni.

While the marketing campaign pushed boundaries at the time, the game itself offers a compelling mix of fast-paced action, unique vehicular combat, and atmospheric level design. In Forsaken 64, players assume the role of a hardened mercenary dispatched to a devastated, post-apocalyptic Earth.

The mission: infiltrate and eliminate mechanized threats that have decimated the planet.

Battling rival bounty hunters and menacing mechanoids atop customizable anti-gravity bikes—or pioncycles, as they are called in-game—players must choose their character and vehicle wisely, each offering distinct attributes and play styles.

The game provides both Single Player and Multi-Player modes, ensuring replayability whether embarking solo or with friends. Gameplay in Forsaken 64 stands out for its dynamic environments and shifting selection of weapons, enemies, and power-ups, fostering a challenging and unpredictable experience each session.

According to Nintendo, this latest addition demonstrates their ongoing efforts to serve a broad player demographic on the Nintendo Switch. Subscribers actively enrolled in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will be able to download Forsaken 64 via the Nintendo 64 app starting September 4, 2025.

For many, this represents an opportunity to revisit or discover a cult favorite in Nintendo’s extensive catalog—a testament to the growth and evolution of the platform’s retro offerings. For updates and further details, players can visit the official Nintendo eShop or follow announcements via Nintendo of America’s official YouTube channel.
