Read details on the games below:
Extreme-G
Fans of all things fast, start your engines! Push your cyber cycle to the limit and zoom through 12 futuristic looping, twisting racetracks. But watch out, because these battle bikes pack a wallop—each is loaded with weapons, and your rivals are not afraid to use ’em! Beat your opponents to the punch and pick up a bevy of powerups in an attempt to top the rankings and avoid total wreckage. Plus, up to four players can settle the racing score locally or online. Whether playing solo or with friends, Extreme-G sets the course for some serious g-force!
Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls
Who needs to race in a vehicle when you’re spherical? Ball out with Iggy and his eclectic reckin’ crew as you smash and swing your way through vertical races set on a series of towering tracks. Take shortcuts, zip through loops and avoid enemies bent on stopping your ascent in this winner-wreck-all competition for up to four players.
Extreme G and Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls are now live for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members!

Solid addition, I wouldn't have expected either game on the service.
These are interesting choices. My most wanted NSO games at this point are Konami's games - the two 3-D Castlevanias, the two Goemon games, Hybrid Heaven, and I'd even give Deadly Arts a couple of tries.
Goemon for sure!
Surprised to see Extreme-G on there. After Acclaim folded nearly 20 years ago, the company that bought the rights to their IPs ended up doing nothing with them, though that company has since sold the rights to some of those IPs to other companies. Given the paucity of futuristic racing games, I wouldn't mind seeing a modern Extreme-G game. I played a lot of the third game on the GameCube. The Atradaitoshi theme has stuck with me for the past 22 years. "Hey DJ! Give me a fat beat!"
Pretty good additions. Some Space Station Silicon Valley, Glover, Chameleon Twist, Wetrix would be nice as well. If only.
I doubt a GT64 or others in the racing space would be on there. But Extreme G will do. Iggy's is an interesting game for sure I forget about.
Iggy's reminds me of Uniracers and the shovelware Hercules game Heracles or something. That sort of way the paths go. Still a fair 3D but 2D plane? Kind of game I think.
Iggy’s what??
I've been holding out getting the expansion, extreme -g is one of the 2 games that would make me buy it
If Nintendo releases hot wheels turbo racing, I might finally crack
Very nice! I hope this opens the door for more Acclaim games from that time.
All of the Turok games are on Switch, just not on NSO. Acclaim was a pretty solid developer for N64. Sadly, it didn't last.
I know, and so is Shadowman. I'm thinking about Forsaken and Extreme-G 2.
