Kirby 64: The Crystal Shard coming to Nintendo Switch Online in May
The pink ball returns to the hybrid console with one of his classic adventures, available to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers.
Let's eat it up! Kirby, also known as the most gluttonous pink ball in video games, will return after his journey in the most recent video game for Nintendo Switch. The Kyoto-based company has announced that the next title to join the Nintendo 64 catalog of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service will be Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. When? We won't have to wait long, as it will be available from May 20.
Kirby 64 is the next to join the list after the additions of December (Paper Mario), January (Banjo-Kazooie), February (The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask) March (F-Zero) and April (Mario Golf).
What will be the next Nintendo 64 games on Nintendo Switch Online?
Considering the information shared by Nintendo last September 2021, we are about to receive all the seven titles they promised since the announcement of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Considering that list, Pokémon Snap is the last game to arrive to the service.
When will it arrive? Considering Nintendo's monthly cadence with these titles, we can infer that during June. However, there is no confirmed date and maybe they want to leave us waiting. After this game, it is unknown if Nintendo will add more titles to this catalog.
