Not only isGoldenEye 007coming to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, but a version of the game is also coming to Xbox Game Pass. It was announced thatGoldenEye 007on Xbox Game Passwill have some extra enhancements, like achievement support and 4k resolution, but the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack version of the classic FPS has one major advantage that fans should keep in mind.
New Nintendo 64 Games Coming to Switch Online
Based on what’s been revealed so far,GoldenEye 007on Xbox Game Pass will not have online multiplayer support. However,GoldenEye 007on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack does allow for online multiplayer. Of course,Switch Online multiplayer doesn’t include matchmaking, so it’s still perhaps not quite what fans may have wanted from the re-release, but this way those interested can organize online matches with their friends at least.
Online functionality should be present with the other Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack games that have multiplayer, which is pretty much all of them except forPilotwings 64. TheNintendo 64 was a console built with multiplayer and party games in mind, so it’s great to see online support added to the games, even if there’s no matchmaking system to take the N64 online multiplayer experience to the next level.
There are only four months or so left of 2022, so fans should be learning more about when they will get to play games likeMario Party,Mario Party 2, andPilotwings 64. Nintendo has traditionally spread out itsnew Switch Online Expansion Pack gamesby releasing one per month, so it seems likely that one will be added in October, another in November, and another in December, but that’s just a guess. Fans will need to wait for more official information before they’ll know for sure when they can revisit these classic titles.
