Now this Banja Tui was added to the Switch Online + Expansion Pack, subscribers can play the entire N64 series on Nintendo's latest console. Banjo kazoo was added to the Expansion Pack level two years ago, so fans have been waiting quite a while for the sequel. However, there is one more Nintendo 64 appearance of Banjo that has yet to debut in the Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

Diddy Kong Racing is one of the main Nintendo 64 games still missing from Switch Online. It was also developed by Rare, and while it stars Nintendo's Diddy Kong, it also features multiple characters and an IP owned by Microsoft, just like the aforementioned Banjo kazoo as well as Conker's Bad Fur Day. But if other rare games can rise to the level of Switch Online + Expansion Pack, there's certainly hope that the same can happen with Diddy Kong Racing.

Nintendo teased big things for its Switch Online + Expansion Pack service in 2025, though it didn't go into much detail. Nintendo's next-generation console is expected to hit the market in 2025. It's likely that more games are on the way for the Nintendo 64, but it also seems that Nintendo has something more up its sleeve when it comes to the Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
