Switch Online Expands The N64 Library With Another Game (Japan)

As thrilled as I am to see the game here, it does make me think of one important question.

"Do I want to even attempt to 100% the game again?" to which the answer is almost certainly no. I did it once, I don't need to do it again.

Bizarre decision to have a dedicated 18+ app for a mere couple of games that look like they could be rated B (12+) in Japan today (15+ tops).

The parental controls for the NSO apps generally is just really stupidly handled as the apps themselves receive a rating upon release (and the rating isn't updated to reflect any further additions), and the restrictions apply to the app as a whole as opposed to the individual games within, which isn't useful for parents.

There are far more violent games receiving far more lenient ratings nowadays than the 18+ rating for Goldeneye that is inexplicably being upheld 26 years after the fact!

It's been available since yesterday.

I like that you don't have any real restrictions to download the 18+ app from the Japanese eShop given you're using an adult account.

I've been playing it since yesterday. My GOLDENEYE control scheme works for the most part, but with the d-pad not being used like it was in GOLDENEYE, there is no way to map the C-buttons to the face buttons. That would make this game infinitely more playable. Will need to try it with my N64 controller in docked mode.

And yet, we have no word of RR release on Switch or PC for that matter. Such a missed opportunity.

@Sisilly_G Yes, but can you behead ewoks in any of these 'other' games? No, no you cannot.

Honestly thought Jet Force Gemini would have also released in the states tonight, as many games have been announced for one day only to release in the final hours of the day before. Now we have up to three times to look for when the final three N64 titles release. These being: Jet Force Gemini for the U.S. and Europe, 1080° Snowboarding, and Harvest Moon 64 regardless of a U.S. release. And on top of that, a possible batch of SEGA Genesis titles could be on the way as well.

@WhiteTrashGuy It's far from ideal but holding ZR on the N64 app turns the face buttons into C buttons. This game is not suited for dual analogue as I noticed on the Xbox although I did get quite far still even though I had to flick the right stick up to jump xD

Have we gotten no NSO game release outside of Japan in November? That's pretty lame.

@Yosher That's correct, nothing after Mario Party 3. Dates for 1080° Snowboarding and Harvest Moon 64 are still TBA.

@kkslider5552000 From what I recall you essentially had to 100% it to finish the game. Were there any optional extras to hunt down?

@NielsNL Makes you wonder if we'll get three games this month....

Probably not.

@Sisilly_G given how long it took for Goldeneye to release in Japan and how JFG wasn't in their roadmap, there's a good chance Nintendo thought they could lower Goldeneye rating too, but failed to do so and went with this 18+ app since they had already announced Goldeneye.

@JohnnyMind Interesting to know! Thank you!

How did we get Jet Force Gemini before 1080 Snowboarding? 🤔

Conker & Perfect Dark for the 18+ App ????

@RandomDave
Yeah, I switched over to the option 2 control scheme as well... Will try to get used to ONE of the schemes, lol.

@Toothball There's a handful of extra things to find to unlock things for multiplayer, but that might be it.

Loosing Rare was the worst thing to happen to Nintendo.. Rare made all the good games for N64...
