10 Dream N64 Games We Need On Nintendo Switch
10. Jet Force Gemini
One of the less well remembered Rare releases on N64 is the surprisingly gory, fiendishly challenging third person shooter Jet Force Gemini. With so many incredible classics under their banner it’s no surprise a few fall by the wayside, but this game deserves more time in the spotlight.
Unlike a lot of Nintendo shooters, it’s aged gracefully - the graphics are slick and not too ambitious for its platform, and the insectoid enemies are still satisfying to shoot to bits (literally) even today.
There are multiple worlds to explore and a great selection of characters and weaponry - it’s hard not to fall in love with a game that allows you to play as a heavily armed, jet powered dog. While it’s more adult than some of Rare’s similarly colourful output, the game is nonetheless laden with the developer’s trademark humour and oddities, like the helpful king of a local tribe whose name is “Jeff”.
It’s surprising Rare never did anything else with this particular property, but the 1999 release would still play plenty well today.
