Now that Banjo-Tooie was added to the Switch Online + Expansion Pack, subscribers can play the entire N64 series on Nintendo's latest console. Banjo-Kazooie was added to the Expansion Pack level two years ago, so fans have been waiting quite a while for the sequel. However, there is still one Banjo Nintendo 64 skin that has yet to make its Switch Online + Expansion Pack debut.

Diddy Kong Racing is one of the main Nintendo 64 games still missing from Switch Online. It was also developed by Rare, and although it stars Nintendo's Diddy Kong, it also features several Microsoft-owned characters and IPs, such as the one above Banjo-Kazooie as well as Conker's Bad Fur Day. But if other games developed in rare cases can reach the level of Switch Online + Expansion Pack, there is certainly hope that the same can happen Diddy Kong Racing.

Nintendo has big things lined up for its Switch Online + Expansion Pack in 2025, though it didn't go into details. 2025 is also the year when Nintendo's next generation console is expected to hit the market. It's likely that more Nintendo 64 games are on the way, but it also seems that Nintendo has something else up its sleeve when it comes to the Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
