A new rumor is spreading among Nintendo Switch Online subscribers suggesting that two of the Nintendo 64’s most celebrated titles, Super Smash Bros. and Donkey Kong 64, could soon join the service’s expanding library. The speculation stems from a recently released trailer showcasing the Switch Online Expansion Pack’s upcoming N64 features, in which eagle eyed fans believe they’ve decoded blurred box art hinting at these long anticipated additions.
The buzz began when viewers dissected a segment roughly 40 seconds into Nintendo’s promotional video, where the CRT emulation overlay sits atop a lineup of indistinct N64 cartridges. By cross-referencing the faint color schemes and shapes against known console art, community members assert they’ve pinpointed the debut entries of both Super Smash Bros. and Donkey Kong 64 on the blurred background.
Beyond these two headliners, supporters of the rumor claim to have spotted further classics, including Glover and Forsaken 64, lurking in the same montage. Several popular Discord channels and social feeds have shared side-by-side comparisons to bolster their case, fueling anticipation for a substantial N64 drop in the near future.
Should these speculations prove accurate, Nintendo Switch Online’s roster would gain significant momentum, complementing its current offerings and bolstering its value proposition against competing platforms. Many subscribers have long petitioned for marquee N64 franchises to join the fold, viewing this potential update as a milestone for preserving Nintendo’s retro catalog.
Nintendo has not officially confirmed any new additions, so please be aware that the blurred images may simply serve as placeholders rather than a definitive roadmap. As always with such leaks, it's better to temper expectations until an announcement arrives directly from Nintendo’s development team.
