Nintendo has officially announced the arrival of the beloved Nintendo 64 classic, Mario Golf, to the growing lineup of games available through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.
Developed by Camelot, Mario Golf will become accessible to subscribers on April 15, 2022, making it the latest addition to the nostalgic Nintendo 64: Nintendo Switch Online application available on the Nintendo Switch platform.
Mario Golf, which originally debuted in the late 1990s, is renowned for blending arcade-style sports action with familiar Mushroom Kingdom characters.
Its introduction to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service allows both new and returning players to experience Camelot’s fan-favorite golfing adventure, which has remained a staple among classic sports titles.
The Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online collection first launched in October 2021, offering a curated selection of nine retro games to the subscription service.
Titles in the initial wave included Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Lylat Wars, Sin and Punishment, Dr.
Mario 64, Mario Tennis 64, Operation: WinBack, and Yoshi’s Story.
Since then, the collection has expanded with more highly requested classics, adding Paper Mario, Banjo-Kazooie, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask ahead of Mario Golf’s inclusion.
Nintendo Switch Online has become a cornerstone of Nintendo's digital ecosystem, reaching an impressive milestone of over 32 million subscribers worldwide.
