Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers are going to have major things to look forward to with the imminent release of the Nintendo Switch 2, with the rollout of GameCube titles for the service set to begin when it does. In addition to that, however, Nintendo is of course continued to add titles from other platforms to the service’s library as per usual as well.

Taking to Twitter, for instance, Nintendo has revealed that it has added the 1996 Rare-developed N64 fighting game Killer Instinct Gold to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack library. Those subscribed to the costlier tier of the service will be able to play the fighter with all of the added bells and whistles of Nintendo Switch Online (such as save state functionality, for starters) starting now. 

Check out the trailer below for a glimpse of Killer Instinct Gold’s gameplay, its roster of fighters, its stages, modes, and more.
