Rayman 2 & Tonic Trouble Arrive on Nintendo Switch Online – N64 Classics Coming This Month (2026)

Get ready for a blast from the past! Two iconic N64 platformers are about to make their grand debut on Nintendo Switch Online, and it's a treat for retro gaming enthusiasts.

But here's the twist: these classic gems are not just any ordinary games. They're about to bring a whole new level of nostalgia and fun to your Switch experience.

First up, we have Rayman 2: The Great Escape, a legendary title from Ubisoft that first graced our screens way back in 1999. This game is a true pioneer, being the first 3D adventure in the Rayman series, following the character's iconic sidescrolling debut. Imagine exploring a vibrant world filled with challenges and surprises, all in stunning 3D graphics that were groundbreaking at the time.

And if that's not enough, get ready for Tonic Trouble, another Ubisoft masterpiece conceptualized by the legendary Michel Ancel, the mind behind Rayman. In this game, you step into the shoes of Ed, a purple alien with a mission to stop the drunkard Grögh from taking over the world. But here's the catch: Ed has a secret power - he can transform into Super Ed by devouring popcorn! Talk about a superpower we'd all love to have.

Both of these games will be available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers with the Expansion Pack starting December 17th. And this is the part most people miss: these platformers are joining a growing library of retro classics on the service. Just recently, we saw the addition of the shooter Forsaken 64 in September, and in October, the Japanese exclusive Mario & Wario made its way to Switch thanks to the innovative mouse controls of Switch 2.

So, are you ready to relive your gaming childhood? Or perhaps you're a newcomer, eager to experience these iconic titles for the first time? Either way, it's an exciting addition to the Nintendo Switch Online library.
