Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack January 2024 Release for Nintendo 64 – Overview

Nintendo just released an additional game on their Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack’s Nintendo 64 app. Let’s have a look at it!

Here’s what I thought:

tl;drThe visuals no longer impress, the drifting is fiddly, and the game only offers nine courses in three locales, yet despite these issues Ridge Racer 64 holds up remarkably well, with smooth framerates and some great arcade-style racing. If you enjoy racing games and don’t mind dated visuals, this is absolutely worth trying out.

Developed by Nintendo’s own Nintendo Software Technology and published by Nintendo themselves, Ridge Racer 64 captures a lot of what makes the franchise great, and has aged impressively well despite the dated visuals. This is a surprising addition to the Nintendo 64 app, but absolutely a welcome one. Racing fans should be pleased.

tl;dr – The Nintendo 64 app gets one more game this month, Ridge Racer 64. The visuals are dated and it’s a bit rough around the edges, but it’s still a solid Arcade-style Racing Game that’s absolutely worth playing.
