Nintendo has announced it’s bringing the first-person shooter Forsaken 64 to its Switch Online + Expansion Pack “Mature” Switch Online app.
The Acclaim Entertainment title was originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998 and will be arriving on the Switch and Switch 2 online service on 4th September 2025. Here’s Nintendo’s official description, detailing what you can expect:
“You are a ruthless mercenary, sent to the condemned remains of Earth as part of a covert operation codenamed “Forsaken.” Your mission is to infiltrate and destroy the last bastions of the mechanized terror that wiped out all life on the planet. Earth is a death trap riddled with merciless mechanoid adversaries and gangs of rival bounty hunters, and you’ll have to brave them all astride your anti-grav pioncycle to make your fortune…or meet your doom. Choose between different modes in this first-person shooter title released for the Nintendo 64™ system in 1998, and enter the fight in Single Player Mode or Multi-Player Mode. Then, select your bike. Each bike has different attributes, each biker a different attitude. Pick one that suits your style, then dive into your mission. The availability of weapons, enemies, and powerups changes depending on the level you play, so stay sharp!”
Keep in mind, you’ll need to have an active Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription tier as well as the “mature” version of the N64 app to play this game on your Switch or Switch 2. You can download this version of the app via the Switch eShop.
The latest N64 Switch Online announcement follows a rumour in July, which may have identified unannounced releases for this particular app.
Forsaken follows on from the addition of Chibi-Robo! to the GameCube ‘Nintendo Classics’ library, which is available to Switch 2 Online subscribers. Apart from this, Nintendo also added Mario Paint to its SNES digital library not long ago.
In Japan this week, Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers get to revisit Brownie Brown’s 2001 GBA RPG, Magical Vacation.
