Some more fan reactions on the re-release of Wave Race
The reason why Nintendo chose to re-release the game was due to its announcement last month that claimed that old classic games will be added to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Although some fans thought that Nintendo might forget about this and forget about the update. Surprisingly, they still remembered and wanted fans to know how much they care for them.

When I saw this tweet, a part of me felt like they were gonna stop doing monthly updates to N64 Online, just like what they did to NES Online.
