Description:
Nintendo is creating a new Nintendo Switch controller, and we believe it will launch alongside N64 games on Switch Online.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

A new FCC filing suggests that Nintendo has an announcement coming soon, and we hope its the long awaited release of N64 games on the Switch .

The filing (discovered by VGC ) is for a game controller but most details
have been kept private at the request of Nintendo. However, that privacy is only set to last for six months, so we'll likely know what the controller looks like before long likely in early 2022. With all the secrecy, though,
we believe it could be an N64-style controller to pair with the arrival of

This would make sense, as Nintendo previously released NES and SNES controllers for the Switch when games from those systems were added to its Online service. The need to keep the controllers details private will help ensure any surprises arent spoiled, as the N64 controller has a distinct three-pronged design that any gamer would recognize instantly.

Well have to wait for Nintendo to release official details to find out whats really going on, but theres a chance well know more by the end of the month. Nintendo normally hosts a September Nintendo Direct, so we're optimistic that it will keep up with tradition to bring us new announcements soon. What N64 games do we want on Nintendo Switch Online?

If the new controller really is an N64 controller then that likely means
games from that console will be headed to the Nintendo Switch soon. If thats the case we have some picks for the games we most want to see.

Mario Party 1, 2 and 3
The N64 was home to three Mario Party games and as some of the best entries in the series we hope they are added to Nintendos Online subscription
service. With the possibility of online functionality on the cards, it could mean well be able to enjoy classic multiplayer Mario Party without needing to meet up in person too.

Banjo-Kazooie
This is perhaps a bit of a pipe dream, but with Banjo and Kazooie featured
in Super Smash Bros Ultimate theres a chance Microsoft, Rare, and Nintendo were able to organize the return of everyones favorite bear-bird duo to Nintendo consoles. We arent holding our breath for this one, but without Banjo-Kazooie it just wouldnt feel like a true N64 games collection.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

We know youre tired of hearing how much everyone loves Ocarina of Time, but
we want to say it at least once more here. This epic N64 adventure was one of the best games on the system and still comes in most peoples top three of the best Zelda games of all time despite being nearly 23 years old. If this game isnt included in Nintendo Switch Onlines N64 lineup it will be an absolute travesty. Here are the best N64 games ever made
