When it was first announced later last year, the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack rightfully inspired quite a bit of ire among Switch users. For fifty dollars a year, Nintendo was offering a handful of N64 games, a smattering of Sega Genesis games, online functionality for those games and a piece of DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While all those things are nice, they just weren’t enough to justify what amounted to a massive price hike for online service, optional though it was. Over the past year, though, Nintendo has been steadily adding to the game libraries for both the N64 and Genesis, and the online works better than expected. Is that enough, though?
“While everyone is currently playing the new The Thousand-Year Door remake on Switch, I went back to play its Nintendo 64 predecessor thanks to Nintendo Switch Online. So, how well does the start of the Paper Mario franchise hold up?” - Martijn van Gent from Video Chums.
Extreme G and Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls added to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online classic game library.
What's great about this is that these titles were never previously discussed, they just sort of came out of left field. I loved the Extreme G series back in the day. They were just beneath Wipeout and FZero, but still really good.
If I remember the courses were good, but the gameplay just slightly beneath wipeout. Farro had the most speed but simple handling mechanics of double tap to dash slide / barge and boosters on track occasionally with the recharge health sections, but wipes out had full weapons, lock on missiles or rockets
Then with your cancel weapon pick up / trading a shield for a missile if you’re behind someone or trade the missile for the shield if you were in First, compared to extreme g which was more basic. I could be wrong tho. It was an awful long time ago.
On a similar note, I always wished starters pod racer had weapons. It would’ve been one of the best.
“There are many iconic platformers yet Kid Chameleon is rarely discussed so allow me to shine the spotlight on this retro treasure.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
No, when you can torrent every single rom and emulator for free. It would be a much better investment if you bought something like this RG35XX , ETAPrime using it https://www.youtube.com/wat... Or a GPi CASE 2. You can have thousands of roms for the low price of free 😁
