Switch Online's N64 Update Is Live (Version 2.3.0), Here's What's Included

Whenever I play the n64 app with my pro controller, the controller vibrates non stop. Does anyone else have this issue?

@dustinprewitt that's just your hands shaking from excitement

@Zach ha-ha. Okay, I admit, that was slightly clever. But seriously, is this happening to anyone else?

Give me Wave Race 64 you cowards!

@Hank_Scorpio This! Wave Race 64 is my favourite game on the console, and the licensing shouldn't be a problem, as they replaced the billboards in previous VC releases.
Good thing I already have an original copy and the Wii U VC release, but more people need to experience the magic of WR64!

@dustinprewitt This happened to me as well, but I have a 3rd party Pro style controller. I just went into the system settings and turned off rumble entirely. (Personally I don't like rumble in any game anyway)

It is weird, and I'm not sure why that happens...

@dustinprewitt haven't had that issue

I wish they would just let us change the controls My controller (PowerA wireless pad) doesn't let me in system settings

@Hank_Scorpio And 1080 snowboarding!

I still haven't started paying for the expansion. I guess I have too many N64 games on WiiU to get excited, like Excitebike 64 - wish they'd make an HD remake of that one someday (will never happen).

Looking forward to the next batch of announcements. I assume in the next Direct. I hope they’ve managed to convince Xbox to publish its Rare games in the service. If Nintendo gets them all (alongside the DK64 it wouldn’t need to work with Microsoft on), that’s 8 months worth of games.

@Dringo Banks Kazooie was definitely the most important, but being able to play Golden Eye 007, Diddy Kong Racing, and Donkey Kong 64 on the service would mean I might consider purchasing the subscription at the price that I initially found to be so high it was downright offensive.

@dustinprewitt maybe try updating your controllers

When can we have the greatest multiplayer battle arena that was Bomberman 64?

@YoshiF2 Yes! Bomberman 64 multiplayer is awesome. It would hugely benefit from a Switch NSO EP release, as one of the valid criticisms of the N64 original (the sluggishness/slowdown when there's a lot going on-screen) would hopefully be mitigated since the Switch is obviously miles more powerful than the N64.

All i want is an official N64 controller, and not at an extortionate price

@dustinprewitt - Is it an official Pro Controller? It happens when I use my 8BitDo Pro Controllers on the Switch (SN30+ and Pro 2) but the official Pro Controller (XC2 one) works fine.

Try updating your pro controller on the Switch settings just in case that has something to do with it.

Hopefully you didn't get a knock-off of an official pro controller.

I wish they’d add a smoothing option for the snes games. There’s an option in the hacked SNES minis to use the scan line setting but without the blur which basically does it.

So hyped for the inclusion of ConstValue_0 in Dr. Mario 64. Been waiting for this to drop.

@dustinprewitt by "pro controller" you mean some kind of 3rd party controller

I'm hoping they'll add Wave Race 64 soon. That game gives me summer vibes.

@dustinprewitt
If it's the official controller. Try updating the firmware.

Data miner or hackers, you decide....

No frame rate fix for F-zero X?

@betterman Was the first thing I checked for as well. Hope it still gets fixed

@ClamDown If they released all of those games on this service, everyone who owns a Switch would immediately subscribe.

My ultimate wishlist:
-Goldeneye 64
-Diddy Kong Racing
-Donkey Kong 64
-Wave Race
-Pilot Wings

@Maxz agreed, but gamma value 1.8 in Star Fox is what we’ve all really been waiting for since this thing was initially announced.

@ClamDown I spend more on bottled drinks in a week

Release more controllers!

@betterman @SteveSnowmn Same here. I love F-Zero X but was sorely disappointed to find that it ran very sub-par, not only compared to the original but also compared with prior Wii and Wii U emulation attempts. Not sure what’s wrong under the hood, but I sure hope Nintendo focuses on it. F-Zero X was one of the top 5 games I was wanting to play on NSO Expansion Pack, but for now… it’s on hold.

@dustinprewitt
You need to visit Kamar-Taj, only they have the cure for such an illness

And the next N64 game is...

LET US REBIND THE CONTROLS

@Sinton Haha I read your comment in Shredder's voice

@TerinoMan As you should, you blasted mutant! 😉

Now they need an option to disable the grey borders on each side when playing. I get that's because it was designed to only do the smaller ratio (or something) because these games didn't exist when 1080p wasn't a thing till the early to late 2000s but they could've still worked around that with the Switch hardware and whatever.

Idk, it's just the two borders on each side and the profile icon just sitting there kind of annoys me

@NicolausCamp The billboards were restored for the Wii U VC release.

I hope Nintendo sees fit to go the extra mile like they did for Super Mario 3D All-Stars and give us a translated version of the Shindou Edition. Rumble and Wave Race 64 seems like a perfect match, but I've never imported the Japanese cartridge (Or have owned an Everdrive 64) to check it out myself.

@Atariboy I have the Japanese Rumble version... but no rumble pak. XD

@dustinprewitt nope, not for me

@NicolausCamp Wave Race 64 with online multiplayer might be enough to get me to subscribe to N+ again!
Otherwise I'll just enjoy it via other means.

@dustinprewitt What do you mean by the 'N64 A.P.?' I think there is only one version of the Nintendo 64 program on Nintendo Network that you can download from the Nintendo Switch eShop. If it's a custom software module or some other program, then that may be why. You should try downloading or re-downloading the official Nintendo 64 program running on Nintendo Network.

Wake me up when they remove those lame borders.
