How Nintendo will choose to expand Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack as it prepares to move into its next generation of consoles remains to be seen, but until then, the company is, of course, continuing to add more games to its catalog of legacy titles. Another beloved N64 game is also coming soon, in fact. 

Taking to Twitter, Nintendo announced that Rare’s acclaimed N64 platform Banjo-Tooie is coming to the service. Specifically, the game will be available for everyone subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack later this month, on October 25.

Of course, thanks to Rare and Microsoft’s efforts, the game has already been playable on modern Xbox hardware for several years, but now, its original Nintendo audience can dive back into it on their current platform of choice as well.

The original Banjo-Kazooie is also available on Switch via Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, which means Rare’s acclaimed platforming duo is now playable in its entirety on the console.
