Forsaken 64 Joins Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack; N64 Classics Teased for Upcoming Release

Nintendo has officially confirmed that Forsaken 64, the acclaimed first-person shooter originally developed by Acclaim for the Nintendo 64, will launch on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service on September 4, 2025.

This announcement further expands Nintendo’s legacy content available on its flagship subscription service, giving Switch players access to another classic N64 title. Forsaken 64, noted for its fast-paced gameplay and 3D shooter mechanics, joins the ever-growing library of Nintendo 64 games accessible through Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack tier.

First released in 1998, Forsaken 64 garnered a cult following for its technical achievements and mature themes, making it a significant addition to the current lineup of retro titles offered on the Nintendo Switch. The announcement has sparked considerable interest in the Nintendo community, especially after a recent trailer posted by Nintendo back in May 2025 featured what appeared to be blurred box art of several other fan-favorite N64 games.

Sharp-eyed fans and content creators spotted recognizable imagery suggesting that Donkey Kong 64, Super Smash Bros., Glover, and Rayman 2 could also be poised for future release on Nintendo Switch Online. While Nintendo has yet to confirm the arrival of these additional N64 classics, Forsaken 64’s imminent launch lends credibility to previous hints about updates to the N64 application on Switch.

These discoveries were brought to light in July 2025 when a VTuber, with the support of a group on Discord, shared observations about the blurred visuals embedded around the 41-second mark of the aforementioned trailer.

The inclusion of Forsaken 64, long referenced in that same teaser footage, strongly suggests that other titles glimpsed in the shadowy artwork may soon follow. Despite this mounting speculation, Nintendo has not released an official schedule or announcement regarding the exact release dates for these teased titles, emphasizing their usual policy of confirming details only when ready.

Until formal confirmation arrives, players and fans are encouraged to stay tuned to official Nintendo Direct presentations and the eShop news section for the most up-to-date information. For now, subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack can look forward to exploring Forsaken 64 starting September 4, 2025.

As Nintendo continues to build out its classic games library, community excitement remains high for the potential inclusion of Donkey Kong 64, Super Smash Bros., Glover, and Rayman 2 on the service in the near future.
