At the end of October last year (2021), Nintendo launched the online service "Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack", making it possible to play NINTENDO 64 games on the switch. However, unfortunately, the emulation wasn't perfect, and the reproducibility was inferior to the original version (and the free emulator).

The last Nintendo Switch Online update reportedly improved it considerably.

According to the YouTube channel Modern Vintage Gaming, the input lag in N64 games has been noticeably improved.

For example, "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" used to have an input lag of 5-6 frames, but after the latest update, the delay has been reduced by 1-2 frames. It's still not perfect, but the lag is definitely less and the game feels better overall.

Also, it can be confirmed that the display of the water temple in Tokioka was incorrect (objects such as trees were reflected in the water in the original game, but it was not in the Switch version). That said, some issues still seem to remain, such as the fog, which was unique to the N64, disappearing from some games (including Tokioka).

Finally, in February next month, N64's greatest masterpiece (and the scariest traumatic work) "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" will be delivered. Until then, let's hope Nintendo continues to improve the N64 emulation even further.
