Nintendo Switch Online Video Teases Possible N64 Additions: Super Smash Bros., Donkey Kong 64, and More

Nintendo Switch Online users are abuzz after eagle-eyed fans analyzed a recently uploaded official video from Nintendo—originally posted over a month ago.

The video, designed to introduce the newest Nintendo Switch Online settings toggle, briefly displays a blurred montage of box art from the Nintendo 64 library.

This fleeting glimpse has led the gaming community to speculate on possible upcoming titles expected for Nintendo Switch Online's expanding catalog of classic games. The speculation began on social media, where fans scrutinized the video frame by frame.

One dedicated user highlighted what appeared to be the distinct logo and a prominent yellow figure, closely matching Pikachu's spot on the Super Smash Bros.

box art.

This evidence strongly suggests that the original Super Smash Bros., a defining multiplayer fighter released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999, could soon be arriving for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Additional eagle-eyed viewers noted other familiar visual cues hidden in the blur.

Community discussions on Discord and Twitter pointed out the possible inclusion of Donkey Kong 64, Glover, and Forsaken 64.

Notably, the box art for Donkey Kong 64—Rare’s iconic 3D platformer—and Glover, a unique puzzle platformer by Interactive Studios, were spotted in positions aligning with their known cover designs.

Forsaken 64, known for its fast-paced action and atmospheric environments, also made the speculative list based on background shapes and color schemes. One community member diligently compared every available Nintendo 64 box art to the blurred segment shown in the Nintendo video.

Their cross-referencing ruled out several possibilities and bolstered the case for Glover and other titles.

The conversation has gained further momentum as more experienced fans confirmed these asset identifications with their own research and previously circulated screenshots. Nintendo Switch Online, which launched its Nintendo 64 expansion tier in October 2021, has consistently grown its classic game library.

Highlight additions have included titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, and Paper Mario, broadening nostalgia-fueled access for millions of paying Nintendo Switch users worldwide via both individual subscriptions and the family membership. While Nintendo has not made any formal announcements regarding these specific titles joining the Nintendo Switch Online library, the company's marketing materials have a history of subtly previewing forthcoming releases.

As fans await an official word—potentially in a future Nintendo Direct or eShop update—this latest visual tease continues to drive anticipation and invigorate discussion among long-time Nintendo fans and industry watchers alike.
