Fans Analysing Blurry Pixels Believe Nintendo Switch Online Is Getting Super Smash Bros. for Its N64 Catalogue — and Now the Hunt Is on for More

Fans speculate this may indicate the beloved fighting game is set to return via backwards compatibility in the near future — sparking a new wave of analysis aimed at uncovering other obscured artwork.

A community-driven effort led by X/Twitter user ImakuniVT has inspired others to recreate N64 box art with similar blur levels seen in Nintendo’s official video, then compare them in hopes of identifying matches. Is it rigorous? Not quite. But have fans already shared evidence of other N64 classics they think are returning? Absolutely.

The idea that Super Smash Bros. could return on the Switch raises the thrilling prospect of multiplayer functionality — might Nintendo even introduce online play? Regardless, as fans await word on Switch 2’s long-anticipated Smash Bros. release (and series creator Masahiro Sakurai continues work on a new Kirby game), this ongoing hunt keeps the community engaged.

Last week, the Switch 2-exclusive Nintendo Switch Online GameCube library added Super Mario Strikers, expanding its initial lineup of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and Soulcalibur 2. Additional confirmed titles include Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness.
