The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass has released, and regardless of the rocky reception, more details about the service are being unearthed — namely, that by looking at the game IDs in place, there are currently 38 N64 games and 52 Mega Drive ones planned for the service.
Initial datamining from the N64 app is somewhat fruitful. Going by the game IDs there are at least 38 N64 titles planned for NSO. The list is alphabetical so you can fill in some of the gaps already; 37 is Majora, 32 is Smash, 33 is Wave Race, 14-16 is Mario Party, etc. pic.twitter.com/tiVcugmc88

Mega Drive proved to be even more interesting. At least 52 here! pic.twitter.com/sjVw5SovJZ

The lists in question are alphabetical, allowing us to extrapolate the IDs of a few upcoming titles with some guesswork and speculate on more. Obviously Majora’s Mask is coming (as previously announced), but others like Mario Party are all but confirmed via the alphabetical listing. It will only be a matter of time before all the titles are revealed… though we’ll have to see whether the current numbers are a ceiling or merely a start.
