N64 Library On NSO Suddenly Three Games Richer

N64 Library On NSO Suddenly Three Games Richer

, , , , , , 9

If it seems like Nintendo doesn’t update the N64 portion of their NSO library as often as the other categories, that’s because they don’t. The N64’s library simply wasn’t as large as that of their previous systems, the NES, SNES and Game Boy. But then you have moments like tonight, when five minutes into the Game Awards, Nintendo dropped THREE N64 games into NSO. If you ask us, they might have wanted to wait a couple days on this one, or release them a bit earlier….we’re still sorting through the massive dump of gaming news The Game Awards left us, and stuff like this could’ve easily gotten lost. Some sites didn’t have time or space to report it. But we did, and now that you know, tell your friends. Tell them about Jet Force Gemini, the bug-blasting, straight-shooting game from Rare we thought we’d never see on NSO. Tell them about Harvest Moon 64, the second game in the series (or third if you could the Game Boy version) and

Jet Force Gemini Announced For Nintendo Switch Online

Jet Force Gemini Announced For Nintendo Switch Online

, , , , , , , 1

Jet Force Gemini, Nintendo 64 game from Rare, is coming to Nintendo Switch Online in December. Will it stand the test of time? There’s a big problem with the Nintendo 64 library on Nintendo Switch Online: a sizable chunk of the good titles for the system were released by a studio that is now owned by a rival business. Rare was considered one of the best, if not the best, developers of N64 games. In the 90s Nintendo owned a controlling interest of Rare’s stock and their games were released exclusively on the N64. Early in the Gamecube era, Nintendo cut Rare loose and Microsoft, needing reasons for people to purchase their new XBox console, bought them outright. So as the Nintendo 64 library on NSO has filled up, one big question has been what they’re going to do when they run out of first-party games. Most of the remainder of memorable titles on that system came from Rare — are they going to negotiate for them or are they

Nintendo Switch Online Adds Three Surprising Ones

Nintendo Switch Online Adds Three Surprising Ones

, , , , 0

Nintendo Switch Online updated its base package just now, adding three more games to the library — one for Game Boy and two for NES. They’re all very uncommon titles, and in more than one situation, they’re being officially released in the US for the first time. Devil World was one of the original Famicom games, but was rejected by Nintendo of America for overt religious symbolism — one of their many taboos. It was Miyamoto’s attempt at a Pac-Man clone, and starred a Bubble Bobble type creature as he wandered around a shifting maze collecting crosses to defeat the literal devil (who, contrary to Western belief, is blue here). Was NOA’s concern unfounded, or is Devil World about to get a lot of complaints today from overprotective parents? Probably not, unless DeSantis becomes a retro gamer. The other NES gsme is the Mysterious Murasame Castle, a top-down action game. We’re not sure why NOA did not localize THIS one — it’s steeped in Japanese culture, but so were a

ASTLIBRA Revision Announced For Switch Release

ASTLIBRA Revision Announced For Switch Release

, , , , 8

The action JRPG ASTLIBRA Revision was released on PC a year ago. The game’s publisher just announced a Switch version of the game is coming fairly soon. ASTLIBRA is a side-scrolling hack and slash adventure with heavy RPG elements. You know the drill by now: by leveling up your character, you can make them proficient in one of several skills — offense, defense, gifted with magic, etc. Upgrading your weapons and armor is crucial to standing a chance against the various boss monsters in your way. The game offers six difficulty settings if the action gets too overwhelming. There’s a lot of content here. Not only is anyone new to the game getting the entire main campaign, there’s a lengthy string of postgame missions, and the Switch version folds in the DLC chapter The Cave of Phantom Mist. Developer Keizo estimates it will take the average player 60 hours to do everything. Dive into a Constantly Expanding World: With over 60 hours of gameplay, awaken to a no man’s land

The space shooter Hyper Sentinel will be released in physical form on Switch soon, thanks to the efforts of VGNYsoft. Just like their previous release, the game will come in both standard and limited collectors’ editions. There’s something extra this time, however. The standard version of Hyper Sentinel is just the game card in its case for $34.99. What they call the Elite Edition will come with a 24-page booklet, a metallic-sheened cover and a certificate of authenticity…and it’s actually just five bucks more, so if you’re going to get this game, you might as well splurge. Note that VGNYsoft has no limit on the standard version, but has pledged to just make 3500 copies of the Elite Edition. ELITE EDITION INCLUDES: Physical Cartridge 24 Page Chronicles Booklet  Certificate of Authenticity Premium Metallic Effect Cover Individually Numbered ONLY 3500 UNITS PRODUCED IT WILL NEVER BE REPRINTED  But that’s not all.

The Demo Is Out For Star Ocean: The Second Story R

The Demo Is Out For Star Ocean: The Second Story R

, , , 7

Curiously absent from yesterday’s Nintendo Direct was the announcement of a free demo for Star Ocean: The Second Story R. The demo was released a short time after the Direct, clearly timed to ride hype from it, yet….no mention. You had to follow the official Star Ocean Twitter account (or Wario64’s) to be notified this was a thing. One thing’s for sure — no one expected this demo so soon, almost two months ahead from the date of release. Square’s other demos have counted any progress you make in the sampler to those in the finished game, and it’s the same here…you can start legitimately playing Star Ocean 2 R with this demo. You just can’t get very far. For not only does the Star Ocean: The Second Story R demo automatically end once you clear a certain area (there was a screen that told me exactly where, but I can’t get it to appear twice), it’s double-restricted by a time limit of three hours. You might think they did

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Getting Switch Remake

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Getting Switch Remake

, , , , , 8

If you don’t believe Mario’s finest hour in the RPG genre was his original effort (Super Mario RPG, coming to Switch November 17), then you believe it was Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, originally released for the Gamecube in 2004 — and never again. Most gamers consider this to be the best title in the Paper Mario series, and it’s become nearly impossible to find an affordable copy. But have no fear….an HD remaster has finally been announced for next year! While traveling across the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach docks into a coastal town called Rogueport and comes into possession of a mystical map that reveals the location of seven Crystal Stars. When collected, the stars will open the titular door, and behind that door is an immense treasure. But someone wants that treasure for themselves and kidnaps Peach before Mario can meet up with her. Fortunately she had the good sense to stash away the Map, and now that Mario has it, he can track down the stars
