Let’s not forget, this is a feat so complex that it caused Microsoft to shelve an already completed HD remaster for Xbox 360.Īs with all games in this list, you should probably Never Say Never (Again), but the chances of seeing GoldenEye on Switch are likely to be a big fat Dr No. To re-release the classic shooter, Nintendo would need to negotiate the rights to the James Bond licence and potentially likeness rights for the likes of Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Robbie Coltrane and everyone else whose faces were digitised in the game.

Sadly, unless some extremely large hoops are jumped through, the chances of GoldenEye appearing on Switch Online are smaller than Oddjob. As soon as Nintendo 64 games were confirmed for Switch Online, many players immediately started wondering what the chances were of GoldenEye coming to it.Īfter all, as arguably the greatest multiplayer game on the system and the one that brought FPS deathmatches to the console gaming mainstream for the first time, the addition of online multiplayer (if it worked) would have some paying for the Expansion Pack for that alone.

Let’s get the biggest one out of the way first. Nothing’s 100% certain, of course, but it’s safe to say these probably won’t happen. If any of these titles are in your own personal list of games you’re hoping to see on the service, you should probably uncross your fingers now. With that in mind, below are a list of games that will almost certainly never appear on Nintendo Switch online, for various reasons. While many of these are almost certain (we’ll be stunned if the likes of Wave Race 64 and Super Smash Bros don’t show up at some point), we’ve seen other suggestions that it’s safe to say are non-starters.

A recently datamined list that appears to put the games in alphabetical order has only further fuelled the discourse, and we’ve seen plenty of “I hope we get Game X” tweets flying around since the N64 app launched.
