Fighting game and Rare fans are in for a treat today with Nintendo adding the 1996 N64 release Killer Instinct Gold<\/a> to the Switch Online + Expansion Pack service.<\/p>\n

As long as you have an active subscription to the Expansion Pack tier, you’ll be able to update your Switch app and play it right now. Here’s a bit more about it, courtesy of the official Nintendo description:<\/p>\n

\n

“The Killer Instinct tournament is back in this classic 1996 fighting title originally released for the Nintendo 64\u2122 system. Pick from a roster of 10 killer fighters, and test your instincts across multiple explosive game modes. Battle other fighters in classic Arcade mode, pit your favorite characters against a friend’s in Team mode, or face off in the round-robin-style Tournament mode with up to eight players! There’s even a Training mode where you can sharpen your techniques, and with hundreds of thousands of moves and killer Combos at your fingertips, a little training goes a long way. You’ll need all the practice you can get to have a chance at landing a 70-hit Ultra Combo\u2014and that’s if you’re not interrupted by a C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Apart from Killer Instinct Gold, the other Rare N64 titles available on the Switch include Blast Corps<\/a>, Jet Force Gemini<\/a>, Banjo-Kazooie<\/a>, Banjo-Tooie<\/a>, Perfect Dark<\/a> and GoldenEye 007<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s Switch Online + Expansion Pack service in Japan today has added Ridge Racer 64<\/a>. This same title was added to the Switch’s N64 library locally in a previous update.<\/p>\n
