Players Have A Ton Of Complaints About Nintendo Switch Online’s N64 Games - Kotaku

Nintendo 64 games finally became officially playable on Nintendo Switch Online last night and they run...less than stellar.

To recap, Nintendo announced the Expansion Pack for its existing $20 a year Switch Online subscription service back in September, quietly revealing the price only recently during the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct.

Fast-forward to a little over a week after that price reveal, and it looks like Ocarina of Time and other late ‘90s games are running less than perfectly on the modern hardware.

Other speedrunners have also been taking the Expansion Pack version of Ocarina to task.

One of the draws of the Expansion Pack isn’t just the ability to play classic N64 games on Switch.

Directions to “insert N64 Controller Pak into controller 1” pop up on screen, even though there are no Controller Paks for the Switch Online Expansion Pack, meaning ghost trials haven’t been carried over.

But as Eurogamer reports, the way the buttons are mapped means you can’t actually shoot and move right at the same time.

Instead of making use of a straight black border or a colorful wallpaper, however, the Expansion Pack games make it look like my Switch is suffering burn-in on either side of the screen.

The Expansion Pack’s meager launch library is supposed to grow in the future, adding games like The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask and Paper Mario.
