Nintendo will add the 1998 first person shooter Forsaken 64 to its Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack service on Thursday, September 4, the company said, making the M rated title available through the separate Nintendo 64 Nintendo Classics Mature 17 app for Switch and Switch 2 users. Nintendo’s announcement and accompanying trailer said the game will go live at about 9:00 p.m. Eastern, and that players will need an active Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription and the separate Mature app download from the eShop to play.

Forsaken 64, developed by Probe Entertainment and published by Acclaim Entertainment, casts players as a biker riding a hovering antigrav vehicle through a postapocalyptic Earth to battle mechanized enemies and rival bounty hunters. Nintendo’s official description teases single player and multiplayer options, selectable bikes with differing attributes, changing weapon and powerup availability by level, and multiple difficulty settings. Reports say the game’s splitscreen multiplayer supports up to four players and includes several multiplayer modes, such as Team Deathmatch, Free for All and Capture the Flag.
