Rayman Returns as an N64 Classic

Rayman and Tonic Join Nintendo 64 Classics on Switch Online (December 2025)

Nintendo will update the Nintendo 64 library on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack with two Ubisoft classics from 1999: Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Tonic Trouble. These games will be available on December 17. In Rayman 2: The Great Escape, the limbless hero sets out across 45 levels to defeat Admiral Razorbeard and his robot pirates. Tonic Trouble challenges players to explore dungeons and solve puzzles as they help a janitor named Ed fix a problem he created. These titles represent two of Ubisoft's earliest 3D action-adventure games on the Nintendo 64, from a publisher now known for franchises like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry.
