Nintendo will offer a new rate plan for the online service "Nintendo Switch Online", "Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack" from October 26th.
The new rate plan includes NINTENDO 64 games such as "Super Mario 64", "Sin and Punishment", "Mario Kart 64", and "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", "Sonic the Hedgehog 2", "Gunstar Heroes", and "Puyopuyo". Many Sega Mega Drive games such as "Golden Ax" have been added as much as you want.
The N64 controller and Mega Drive Fighting Pad 6B, which can be played as they were at that time, are accepting pre-orders from today and will be shipped after October 26th.
In addition, "Happy Home Paradise" (2500 yen), which was just announced as a paid additional content for "Animal Crossing: New Clothes Forest", can be used as one of the subscriber benefits at no additional cost.
Nintendo Switch Online is a service that you need to subscribe to when playing online with Nintendo Switch. In addition to basic online play, it includes save data in the cloud, voice chat for smartphones, game-linked apps, subscriber-only products and limited software.
With the conventional rate plan, there was a benefit that you can play a lot of software of Family Computer and Super Nintendo, but with the newly announced "+ Additional Pack", Nintendo 64 and Mega Drive will be added.
NINTENDO 64 title
The following 8 Nintendo 64 games can be played from the first day.

In the future, we will continue to add titles such as the following.
14 works can be played on Mega Drive from the beginning.

Up to 4 players on Rokuyon and up to 2 players on Mega Drive support online multiplayer. Of course, local multiplayer is also supported (if the original game supports it).
(With a maximum of 2 players on Mega Drive, I feel that General Chaos, Magical Unification Battle, and Columns 3 cannot be played online even though it is an environment where controllers can be easily aligned and connected, but games with 3 or more players will be added at the same time. I pray that.
On the Fighting Pad 6B product page, you can only connect up to two switches to a single switch, even in local multiplayer.)
Also, while the Mega Drive supports rewinding like the Famicom and Super Nintendo, it is not included in the N64 description. Both support state save.
The dedicated controller sold exclusively to subscribers is 5478 yen including tax for both the NINTENDO 64 controller and the Mega Drive Fighting Pad 6B.
It can also be purchased by conventional Nintendo Switch Online subscribers who are not "+ additional packs". In other words, you can pre-order now before the new rate plan starts. Shipment is after October 26th.
Both look like they were at the time and are USB-C charged Bluetooth controllers. While the NINTENDO 64 controller has a built-in vibration function, it cannot be connected to peripheral devices such as a vibration pack. I'd like to use the vibrating fighting pad 6B, but the game doesn't support it.
The paid additional content "Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise" is 2500 yen, but if you are a "+ Additional Pack" subscriber, you can play it at no additional cost. However, you can play only during the period you have subscribed, and only to the account you have subscribed to.

The price of Nintendo Switch Online + additional pack is 4900 yen for 12 months for individual plan and 8900 yen for family plan.
The conventional Nintendo Switch Online is 2400 yen for 12 months for individual plans and 4500 yen for family plans, so 200 yen per month will be about 409 yen.
Previously, there was a short-term plan of 306 yen for 1 month and 815 yen for 3 months only for individuals, but + additional packs are only for 12 months subscription.
