Some N64 game names such as Perfect Dark, Kirby 64, & more were found in the Mario 3D All-Stars N64 emulator.

[Homura]

N64 games coming to Nintendo Switch Online?

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

No DK64 :/

 

[It’s Time To Go]

Don't tease me like this Nintendo.

 

[Xenomiggs]

Wait... Perfect Dark?

 

[Thiago]

Praying for Yoshi's Story.

 

[Amnixia]

Especially Perfect Dark raises an eyebrow, isn't that owned by MS?

 

[Harpoon]

Perfect Dark eh?

 

[EvilChameleon]

In for Mario Golf and Mario Tennis.

 

[TheDinoman]

No DK64 :/

It's said to be an incomplete list.

 

[Blackpuppy]

Perfect Dark?!?! Oh please make it be true! And if so.... please increase the framerate....

 

[Cugel]

PerfectDarkRenderer 😍😍😍😍

 

[Shaoran Hyku]

I'm trying to trace the source but no one else has commented about it or linked the complete file?

 

[genjiZERO]

Interesting about Perfect Dark, I thought Rare retained that IP in the sale to MS.

KIRBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Yeah, but Nintendo has worked with Microsoft on Rare related things before, like more recently Banjo in Smash Bros.

Maybe they got a deal going on.

If you're working on a new emulator, you'll absolutely need to test different software on it, even if you're just planning on releasing that one game.

Don't do this to yourselves.

[Josh5890]

I'm guessing Mario Party isn't making the initial cut

 

[RF Switch]

Perfect dark...now that is interesting

 

[Dany1899]

They could be just the games that were used for internal testing of the newly developed emulator.
However, I doubt they developed these emulators not to use them for other games - maybe not the ones of these lists, but the are countless candidates.

 

[Aurora]

Looks like The Initiative's next game is gonna be a Switch exclusive huh?

 

[pbayne]

Is mario story just paper mario?

Not sure if you'd test a game like Perfect Dark that's dependend on a piece of accessory that's not supported by the game you actually want to run.

 

[Uncle at Nintendo]

No Gex. I'm selling my Switch.

 

[Coolduderedux]

Must have been internal tests. I can't imagine why they would release Pokemon Snap 64 when the new game is coming out.

 

[krae_man]

Gimmie my Gex games Square Enix!

Edit:

No Gex. I'm selling my Switch.

[Deleted member 33571]

Extremely skeptical of the source on this, unless anyone recognizes that name

 

[Clown_im_OP]

Omg give me Mario Golf 64

 

[Bitanator]

Ogre Battle 64 please

 

[Deleted member 8593]

No Sin & Punishment?

Nintendo is dead to me.

[GlassCup64]

Wasn't Banjo-Kazooie found to have an emulation profile on Wii VC? I wouldn't look too much into this. Nintendo just tested some games with their emulator.

 

[Wislizeni]

No DK64 :/

Patience. Cannot imagine this being the full lineup.

 

[AtomicShroom]

N64 Classic?

For debugging purposes, that's literally the best possible reason to test a game like Perfect Dark. By running it, you'll make the emulator face situations that it wouldn't otherwise.

Yes. Reposting from other thread:

 

[The Main Event]

Perfect Dark?! Diddy Kong Racing next plz!

 

[EvilChameleon]

Would love to see the first three games make it. They were the best in the series.

The mindless Nintendo hype cycle is a sickness that needs to be curbed for the betterment of society.

Kirby 64 and Pokemon Snap. 👍

Doubt it would happen, but I'd love Body Harvest. Never really played it much (was too young to really understand what to do), but I remember it being really cool.
