Well, that was certainly out of nowhere.http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/58431/new-expansion-pack-for-nintendo-switch-online-coming-in-late-october-including-nintendo-64-and-sega-genesisAn expansion pass is coming to Nintendo Switch Online, with a couple of major new platforms.The "Expansion Pass" will launch in October, with two new platforms: Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis.

* N64 launch: Sin and Punishment, Winback, Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Dr. Mario 64, Mario Tennis 64, Yoshi's Story

M.U.S.H.A, Ristar, Shining Force, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja MasterRare issued a statement on the news: "“It’s a pleasure to be ushering the bear and bird onto Nintendo’s latest console, offering another modern way (alongside Xbox Game Pass and Rare Replay) to savour its many collectibles and googly eyes.”Wireless N64 and Genesis controllers will be available for purchase from Nintendo's online store for US$49.99 or equivalent: presumably one of these is the controller whose FCC embargo ends on September 24.

Adrock:
Fine. Sure. I’ll buy another controller for Switch.

I let my Nintendo Switch Online membership lapse in July so I guess this is as good a time as any to renew. Mission accomplished, Nintendo.

NES_RPG_NERD:
Sure, let's spend more money on a service that's been neglected by Nintendo...

Shecky:
F-Zero X will be a good test to how smoothly this will play especially online

I was really hoping for a way to play Metroid Fusion though, perhaps that will be the expansion, expansion pass in 2024

Luigi Dude:
With Sega Genesis being added, it's probably a matter of time before TurboGrafix gets added as well since both the Wii and Wii U had that system.  The Genesis was on Wii but skipped Wii U, so it looks like Nintendo is getting the old Virtual Console band back together. ;D
