Nintendo Fans Think Super Smash Bros. 64 Is Coming To Nintendo Switch Online

While most of us still wish that Nintendo would’ve put Virtual Console on the Nintendo Switch, something the company thought was “too costly,” its lineup of classics via Nintendo Switch Online and its Expansion Pack have helped fill most of the void, especially now that GameCube games are being added for Switch 2 consoles.

Pikmin 1+2 HD cost more than they should, but we’re going to buy them anyway.

That said, there are still quite a few classics that have yet to appear on the service, largely a ton of the Pokemon library. Oh, and the original Super Smash Bros. However, that could soon be changing, as one eagle-eyed fan thinks they’ve spotted Super Smash Bros. 64, and you won’t believe how they did it.

We’re Going To Need A New Name For Eagle-Eyed Fans

As first spotted on Famiboards, one gamer desperate for any new Nintendo Switch Online game has found what they believe is the boxart of Super Smash Bros. 64 in a trailer that dates back to one month ago.

Specifically, they believe that if you fast-forward to the 0:40 second mark, and look at the lower right-hand corner, then one of the games that is grayed out behind the options menu is Super Smash Bros. 64.

Adding fuel to the fire is another user, who dove even deeper to match the colors of the boxart with the trailer, even going as far as to discover that Glover is the game right above it.

Considering the number of Nintendo 64 games already on the service, including Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64, it was always a matter of when and not if, when it came to potentially seeing Super Smash Bros. 64 on the service. Still, it’s nice to know that, at least internally, Nintendo has the game running, so hopefully it won’t be long before we can all play the game that started it all.
