Banjo-Kazooie will be available to anyone with an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. Although there have been some gripes about questionable emulation quality of N64 games since the service was expanded back in October, there’s an undeniable excitement among fans to be able to play such a pivotal game in Nintendo history once more. There’s no firm date just yet, but we’ll update once it’s announced.
