The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack now includes Harvest Moon 64, Jet Force Gemini, and 1080 Snowboarding. All three are immediately available on the higher tier of the subscription service, following a tease about an update.
Harvest Moon 64 launched on the N64 back in 1999 worldwide. As usual, it tasks players with taking over a grandfather’s farm and building a new life for themselves in a small town. This installment was one of the first to add a stamina system. Also, the love interests this time around are Ann, Ellie, Karen, Maria, and Popuri.
Jet Force Gemini is a Rare shooter that showed up on the N64 in 1999 as well. It can be played alone or with a partner, though it is also possible to go through one mode with four people competing. It tasks players with helping Juno, Vela, and Lupus go through different planets to stop an invasion headed by Mizar.
Of the three games, Nintendo’s 1080 Snowboarding is the oldest. It came to the N64 in 1998. Players snowboard through five different modes, either alone or against others, with some focusing on tricks and the others on actually racing.
Here’s a trailer showing off all three games on the Switch. It offers an idea of how each will run on the system.
As a reminder, the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack is the higher tier. The base subscription is $19.99 for a single user for one year. The individual Expansion Pack brings the price up to $49.99 per year. In addition to the N64 games, people get access to GBA games, Genesis games, and DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon 2.
Harvest Moon 64, Jet Force Gemini, and 1080 Snowboarding are available on the Nintendo Switch via the NSO Expansion Pack worldwide now.
