On the heels of the arrival of Banjo Kazooie onto the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack service, Nintendo already has yet another heavy hitter of a Nintendo 64 title to offer for subscribers next month. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask will be launching on NSO sometime next month. Currently, you can play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time--Majora's predecessor--on the Switch while you wait for February.

Save Termina before it’s met with a terrible fate!

Majora's Mask is a really good Zelda game. Kinda dark, but super fun.

 

[Reploid]

Who cares? Beside ppl with no emulators

 

[Kirizame]

I'd laugh if it had the same crashing issues the GCN version had because Nintendo couldn't emulate the Expansion Pak.
Poor Mario Kart 64 is still missing the Controller Pak.

Weird...never ever experienced any crash issues on GCN. And I've been playing it since I was 7.

The Zelda anniversary month.

Can't believe Zelda is 36th years old this year...

They’re releasing this already? Huh. Did they ever fix those graphical issues in Ocarina of Time? I legitimately didn’t care about them, but apparently a lot of people did. So hopefully they ironed them out or a lot of people are gonna be mad again.

Fun game though. It’s not the 3DS version I would prefer but it’ll be way easier to play this since NSO has savestates built in.

Is this game more difficult than ocarina of time? I have plan to get the 3DS version, but I couldn't find a copy.

Nah, it's not any harder than Ocarina. Puzzles are very similar and combat is virtually the same. Just make sure you talk to NPCs as they'll clue you in on aspects of sidequests which the game is full of. Alternatively there's always online guides and such.

I mean isn't the major difference between the two games is the time limit of doing everything? I figured that just makes the game more difficult especially if you're slow.

 

[zoogie]

Darn, too bad I don't have an Expansion Pak™.

 

[64bitmodels]

if you've been on any platform but nintendo for like the past 10 years this game has been easily playable on any system via emulation.... 50 dollars a year and this is what you get. nintendo fucking sucks dude

 

[Hanafuda]

Or the original hardware.

Or the LoZ Collector's Edition and a Gamecube.*

Or the VC release on Wii.*

Or the VC release on Wii U.*

Or the remake version on 3DS.



*ok these are emulation, but I think you know what I'm getting at.

 

[Plazorn]

It would be so much better if they ported oot and mm 3d to the Switch.

 

[genxor]

Is the N64 emulation on Switch playable yet or is that a dumb question?

 

[The Catboy]

I’ve had it on my Switch since November because I didn’t wait for Nintendo to release it on their pisspoor emulator

 

[nWo]

Great! This game never gets old.

OoT and this one, I have always looked at them as one big game. And this is my favorite of the two. Pretty dark, some great stories and lots of fun, but always with a weird feeling looming over the game.

Maybe it is time to take another trip to Termina.

 

[Jiehfeng]

Could anyone say if they have fixed the lag when it comes to games like OOT?

There was a partial update in the NSO app



Getting there but still missing proper fog emulation
