Earlier this week, Nintendo announced it would be releasing the N64 classic Mario Golf on the Switch Online Expansion Pack. It means the remaining games (which have already been revealed) include Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Pokémon Snap.

There are a few other games we also know about, but the catch is they’ll both be regional exclusives to Japan. In case you need a reminder, Japan will at some point be getting Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2. While this has been previously highlighted, it seems at least one of these releases could be coming very soon.

In a similar but different version of the updated Switch Online Expansion Pack trailer for Japan, during the N64 segment, you can see an image of the Custom Robo V2 box art. This once again reconfirms the game, and also suggests it’ll be arriving in the near future either before or after the release of Kirby 64 and Pokémon Snap.

You can see it around the 1:20 mark in the bottom right corner of the video below:

Again, we already knew the Custom Robo games were coming to Japan’s N64 service at some point – still, it’s just nice to have this little reminder. The Nintendo website in Japan also notes the following games will be delivered in the future:

As previously mentioned in our original story about the Custom Robo games coming to Japan, these titles will be available to anyone who has access to a Japanese Nintendo Account. So all you’ve got to do is download this app with one of these accounts to play these region exclusives.

Would you like to see the Custom Robo games for N64 released locally? Will you be trying them out via Japan’s N64 app? What other N64 titles should Nintendo release in the future? As always, leave your thoughts down below.
