Today, Paper Mario was added to the short but sweet list of Nintendo64 games on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. Not much longer after that, Nintendo tweeted it’s next arrival: Banjo-Kazooie.

When Nintendo announced the Expansion Pack back in October, they provided both a list of games that would be initially released as well as a list of future titles. Banjo-Kazooie was one of those titles to expect in the future; however, no specific date was provided until today.

It appears Nintendo may be taking a “slow-drip” approach; however, it is too soon to tell what their overall strategy will be long term.

Other anticipated N64 games to arrive on the Expansion Pack are:

1. F-Zero X
2. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
3. Mario Golf
4. Pokémon Snap
5. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
