The Expansion Pass will also grant Animal Crossing: New Horizons players access to the Happy Home Paradise expansion when it launches on November 5. To be fair, the N64 and Genesis games are not the only differentiation between the Expansion Pack and the base NSO subscription. Early adopters of the Expansion Pack subscription tier have already found some technical issues with the Nintendo 64 emulator technology that the Switch uses, meaning the service has failed to deliver on its ill-conceived, too expensive content package. A similar service was already available through the base subscription of NSO, which offered users NES and Super Nintendo games.
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack has just recently launched, giving subscribers access to Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games through emulation.
