Nintendo of America has officially announced that Excitebike 64 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch Online service. The game will be available for Expansion Pack members on August 30.
The Nintendo Online Service has been available for nearly five years. There are two tiers. The first allows players to play NES, SNES, and GameBoy games. The other, more expensive tier will enable players to play Nintendo 64, GameBoy Advance, and Sega Genesis games. Expect more games to be released on the service in the coming months.
