Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) Expansion Pack is a modern subscription service feature that provides cloud connectivity plus a library of retro games, including a growing catalog of N64 titles provided as downloadable/playable ROMs (often listed by region, e.g., “NSPJP” notation sometimes used by hobbyist archivists to label Japanese NSP packages).
