Speaking on Banjo Kazooie‘s return to Nintendo, Rare tweeted that “it’s a pleasure to be ushering the bear and bird onto Nintendo’s latest console”. This includes The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, Banjo Kazooie, Paper Mario, F-Zero X and Pokémon Snap. The announcement also teased other games that would be arriving on the service at a later date. It will also launch with 14 games from the Mega Drive, including Ecco The Dolphin and Castlevania Bloodlines. It’s also one of the only games that actually does a damn good job at matching Nintendo’s own style of platforming games, something Nintendo itself seemed to have lost after Yoshi’s Island on the SNES. At launch, the service will include a bunch of N64 classics such as The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, Star Fox 64, Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64. In that respect, Mischief Makers is one of the scant few titles in a league of its own, and still one of the must own titles for the system. The Nintendo Online service expansion was announced during a Nintendo Direct on September 23. By teasing even more announcements in the future, there’s a chance that the cult classic side-scroller Mischief Makers could arrive as an offering on the N64 service. Treasure already has multiple games announced for the service – the Mega Drive’s Gunstar Heroes, and the N64’s Sin And Punishment.
