Some of them still collect and play its games on the original console, and other fans play them digitally on the Expansion Pass of the Switch Online membership. But soon you’ll be able to also listen to a full music album in one of its cartridges.

The album is titled R64 and it will feature 15 electro-pop and techno brand new songs that will only be playable (or listenable) on the N64.
These songs are not just mp3 or WAV files inside the cartridge, they have been generated and played back in real time on the console.
