Nintendo Switch Online

Four more games have just been added to Nintendo Switch Online, with Kirby’s Star Stacker, Quest for Camelot, Downtown Nekketsu March: Super-Awesome Field Day, and Joy Mech Fight having been made available.

This is an especially notable update as three of the games were originally released just in Japan and never translated to English. Out of the bunch, Quest for Camelot was the only one that was made available in the west.

A new N64 game is making its way to Nintendo Switch Online in the form of Excitebike 64. It will be available starting August 30 as part of the service’s Expansion Pack tier.

Here is some additional information on the game:
