Nintendo has today updated its Switch Online N64 library with the addition of GoldenEye 007. It’s also bumped up the app to Version 2.9.0 – so what’s changed?

As you probably know by now, the video game giant doesn’t normally share patch notes about these app updates. Fortunately, well-known dataminer OatmealDome is on the case – uncovering everything this latest update has to offer.

Here’s the rundown, which does mostly seem to focus on GoldenEye 007, but there’s also a reference to the previous releases Mario Party and Mario Party 2. The “gongs and static” are also in the Q Watch. Here’s the full rundown:

[NSO – Nintendo 64] – Version 2.9.0 is out.

– GoldenEye 007 added.
– There is no matchmaking – if you want to play online, you have to create a lobby and have friends join.
– There are no “modern” controls like the Xbox version.
– The Q Watch music does have the gongs and static.

– ROM used appears to be different from all known GoldenEye 007 ROMs in No-Intro’s database.

– the ahead-of-time compiled executables for Mario Party and Mario Party 2 were updated, details unknown
