Although Nintendo has delivered some of the most popular Switch titles in 2022, the Japanese giant has also made sure that retro gamers are not left behind. To lure more players to its NSO platform, the developer and publisher has come up with the best classics from the N64 era.

Continuing the pattern further, Nintendo has now introduced two gems from the past in the modern era. The Nintendo Switch Online has now received hits from the beloved Mario Party N64 series, which is more than two decades old!

N64 classics Mario Party 1 and Mario Party 2 are now available on Nintendo Switch Online

Shigeru Miyamoto served as the development supervisor on this N64 project. The original game featured six playable characters. Alongside Mario, there were Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Wario, and Donkey Kong.
