Just like with the SNES and NES libraries, more games will be added post launch. Some of the confirmed titles in the coming months include The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, Banjo-Kazooie, Pokémon Snap, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Mario Golf, Paper Mario and F-Zero X.
On the Mega Drive side, the launch titles are:

Nintendo are also offering a couple of new wireless controllers you’ll be able to pick up too. One of these is thought to be the patent spotted just last week. The N64 and Sega Mega Drive control pads will both be available from the My Nintendo Store in the near future.
