In 2025, Nintendo Switch Online finally introduced a new N64 game to its extensive collection. Even while Switch Online now offers a large selection of Nintendo 64 titles, new games are rarely added to the site. Only Ridge Racer 64 has joined the Switch Online library of N64 games this year, bringing the total number of available games to 40. Now that the 41st N64 game has arrived on NSO, many people ought to love it.
Killer Instinct Gold is now available on the Nintendo Switch Online. Killer Instinct Gold, the console adaptation of the arcade fighting game Killer Instinct 2, was first released in 1996. According to all accounts, Killer Instinct Gold is still regarded with nostalgia as one of the most popular fighting games to ever appear on the N64.
Killer Instinct Gold’s arrival on Nintendo Switch Online is fantastic, but it’s important to note that the game is only accessible through the “Expansion Pack” tier of the service. In contrast to Switch Online’s basic version, which grants users access to NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles, N64 games are only available through the more expensive “Expansion Pack” option, which costs $49.99 a year. Even said, if you want to replay some of the greatest N64 games more conveniently than ever, this alternative can be well worth the higher cost.

Killer Instinct Gold
About: “The Killer Instinct tournament is back in this classic 1996 fighting title originally released for the Nintendo 64 system. Pick from a roster of 10 killer fighters, and test your instincts across multiple explosive game modes. Battle other fighters in classic Arcade mode, pit your favorite characters against a friend’s in Team mode, or face off in the round-robin-style Tournament mode with up to eight players!
There’s even a Training mode where you can sharpen your techniques, and with hundreds of thousands of moves and killer Combos at your fingertips, a little training goes a long way. You’ll need all the practice you can get to have a chance at landing a 70-hit Ultra Combo—and that’s if you’re not interrupted by a C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!”
