Extreme G, Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls Hit Nintendo Switch Online
An unexpected pair of games landed on Nintendo Switch Online this evening. Nintendo throws us some curveballs now and then but usually those balls aren’t literal. Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls is now on NSO, originally released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999 — and a pretty darn original title for the system. It’s a racing game where you play as one of many wacky heads rolling down a curving, looping track. You must avoid not only enemies and obstacles but your fellow racers, who can knock you off if they feel like it. However, it’s possible to roll off track on purpose and find a shortcut, turning a fail into a victory. The multiplayer mode supports up to four players in split-screen. Who needs to race in a vehicle when you’re spherical? Ball out with Iggy and his eclectic reckin’ crew as you smash and swing your way through vertical races set on a series of towering tracks. Take shortcuts, zip through loops and avoid enemies bent on stopping your ascent
