Another video has emerged online showing the differences between the Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis titles have been added to Nintendo Switch Online as part of the Expansion Pack tier. The subscription more than doubles the cost of the standard tier and has been roundly criticized for failing to include many common features such as party chat and proper friend lists.
The new video is not the only case of players pointing out the problems with the emulated version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo Switch, as well as other games such as Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64. One of the most notable issues has been input lag in Nintendo 64 emulated titles. Many videos have demonstrated that these titles all have high input lag, making it difficult for players to have precise control.

While there are many games already included in the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, more are on the way. Nintendo has not revealed the complete list of which N64 games will appear yet but some s have been able to get clues from datamines. One recent leak suggested several additional games that may be on the way in the near future. The datamine uncovered information about the Nintendo 64 titles Smash Bros. and Wave Race, among others
The poor emulation of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is very disappointing, especially considering that there are many other devices and software available that can emulate the game far more efficiently and effectively. Nintendo has seemingly put little effort into getting these Nintendo 64 titles to work on the Switch and this will likely not convince many players to upgrade their hips to gain access to the extra classic releases.
The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack is available now.
