Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Adds Ridge Racer 64

Nintendo doesn’t always grab attention with the games it adds to the Nintendo Switch Online catalog (unless they’re renowned first-party titles). However, every so often, there are notable new additions like Ridge Racer 64.

Developed by Nintendo and published by Namco for the N64 in 2000, Ridge Racer 64 was the first game in the series for a non-PlayStation console. A remake of the racing title was released for the Nintendo DS in 2004, though it was much less well-received. The former, however, still has its fans, who should be thrilled about its upcoming re-release.

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers can play the game at no additional cost. It also features four-player split-screen multiplayer, a first for the series. The game also touts multiple modes, nine courses, 25 cars, and more. Check out the trailer below for a glimpse of what it has in store and stay tuned for more updates on forthcoming titles for Nintendo Switch Online.
