@Daniel36 Someone asked this of Chris Scullion on Twitter and he believes it was removed from Rare Replay. I would imagine we’re getting a different build so we’ll have to see.
An animated Mario film, fine. But a live action Zelda… The creative team (sans Miyamoto) don’t exactly fill me with confidence, hope I’m wrong but this this feels too important to have the director of Maze Runner and the producer who tanked Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films involved.
@EarthboundBenjy Maybe the Wii remake? That's retro now! I know the history (Santa got me the first two games many many years ago) and wasn't commenting on the value proposition for the package on offer which is very fair, just that use of the word 'collection' that to me felt a little grand. My two-cents, A Boy and His Blob: Retro Compilation feels like a better fit for two games.
Last time Nintendo did an ambassador programme it was just something to pacify those impacted by a business decision they’d had to make. I think we know what’s going on, it’s a title to cushion the blow.
I never played Turok 3 back in the day after being let down by Turok 2 (N64 Magazine was well off in their review!). Nightdive made Turok 2 playable and I really enjoyed playing it on Switch so will give this a go when it launches.
I enjoyed the film more than the reviewer but yeah I would have preferred more detail in some areas and the pixel effects were overused (less would've been more there) but on the whole a pretty decent fun film. Give it a watch then return to this: https://youtu.be/_fQtxKmgJC8.
I’m so pleased to be able to play it again without having to unpack the N64 and messing with the retrotink. Finally the other NSO N64 pads can be unboxed!
The music in the full trailer sounds like elements are missing too, hoping it’s a deliberate (yet odd) choice for the media announcing its release. But as that’s two pieces of music with missing instruments I am a little apprehensive.
@Mattock1987 I did have a little fist pump when I saw the news. This was a key N64 title back in the day and can now play with my old college buddies in different cities. Goldeneye 007 next yeah cowards?
And ISS64, Space Station Silicon Valley, Fighters Destiny, 1080, Mystical Ninja, Beetle Adventure Racing, Pilot Wings 64, Snowboard Kids, New Tetris and some Rare classics pleeeease.
@TKundNobody Ooooh, for me I think Blue Storm is the more polished experience but 64 is the better game, I enjoy playing it more at least and I prefer the music and commentary (the original, not the changes made to the Shindu edition). It’s definitely the earlier version but I prefer the rough edges.

Re: Switch Online Is Expanding The N64 Library With Rare's Jet Force Gemini
This is a welcome surprise! I wonder if the ending will have been changed to remove the Jimmy Saville impression?
1080 then Blast Corps next yeah?.

Re: Exclusive: A Boy And His Blob: Retro Collection Bounces Onto Switch Soon
With just two games included they are stretching the word 'collection' a little!

Take note CEOs, I’d rather be described as a customer than a consumer.

Re: Iconic GoldenEye "Gong" Sound Potentially Missing From Switch Online Version
If they are missing it’s emulation rather than an artistic choice. It would be a little disappointing after 25 years.

Re: Talking Point: What Is The Most Frustrated You've Ever Been With A Video Game?
Waiting for GoldeneEye to be added to NSO.
Re: Best Of 2022: 25 Years Of GoldenEye 007 - 25 Facts You Didn't Know (Or Forgot You Knew)
Please stop posting articles about Goldeneye until it's on NSO, I see the artwork and think this must be it! My poor heart can't take this anymore...
Re: Atlus Remembers N64 Classic Snowboard Kids On Its 25th Anniversary
Sweet! Some banging tunes in the first game. Maybe add it to the N64 Switch Online app too, what do you say cowards?
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Service With Two More Titles
@Mattock1987 I agree.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online Library With Pilotwings 64
@Clyde_Radcliffe I play Goldeneye pretty regularly so there’s nothing to adjust to. I just want the convenience of having it on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online Library With Pilotwings 64
Pilotwings 64 is great. But it's not Goldeneye is it?

Re: Review: Wave Race 64 - A Thrilling Racer That's Still Deeply Impressive
An all time classic! Played through the championship twice already today, a classic game that holds up really really well.
Outside of more Rare stuff, ISS64 or Mystical Ninja would be nice to have next. Or Snowboard Kids. Or Fighters Destiny.
