In the run up to the Switch 2’s release next week (next week!), Nintendo has released a new video highlighting the changes N64 classics will have on the console’s debut.
Those with a Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack subscription are able to play classic games from the N64 days, such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Pokémon Snap, and a personal favourite, GoldenEye 007.
And soon, those on Switch 2 will be able to play these games, and then rewind them when things don’t go quite as planned (what, that has never happened to me), pop on a CRT screen filter and remap the controls. You can check out how this all looks via the video below.

While those on the original Switch consoles won’t be able to utilise that rewind feature or the CRT screen filter, they will be able to remap the controls when this update goes live.

As to when all this is happening, that would be next Thursday, 5th June. That’s the day Switch 2 releases.
In the meantime while we wait patiently for next week, you can check out the full run down of games available on Nintendo’s subscription service via our handy guide: All Nintendo Switch Online games available to play right now.
As for the Switch 2, while it is not technically available just yet, some have managed to get their hands on the console early. Last night, footage was shared online of someone unpacking their new console, however they were unable to play it due to it requiring a day one update to function. Nintendo obviously didn’t seem best pleased with this video making the rounds online, and soon removed the footage from the internet.
