Although the initial N64 & Sega Genesis lineup is disappointingly limited as compared to 100+ NES and Super NES games, it’s fair to say that Nintendo is testing waters here as games like Mario Kart 64 will now be playable online with friends in 4 player races, although it remains to see how it’ll be implemented as Switch Online only allows player co-op functionality.
Nintendo has also announced wireless N64 and Sega Genesis controllers for Switch Online members which will be available later this year for $49.99 each.
