RPG Strategy games have been seeing something of a big resurgence in recent years and I, for one, am here for it. If the clamor from fans to put it on the Wii/Wii U Virtual Console is any indication, a whole bunch of gamers would love the chance to also enjoy it on their Switches. The formula is the same, and just as addictive as ever.
BATTLE FOR NABOO N64 SERIES
The most recent game, One World, felt entirely off the mark and leaves other franchises ( Rune Factory, Stardew Valley, etc) to rule the roost.Īs such, being able to play the N64 classic would be a great way to allow fans of the series to relive their glory days and have a bit of old-fashioned fun. The series has come a long way, that’s for sure, but there’s no denying that its more recent entries have lost some of their magic. My love of fanciful farming games is well documented, so it should be no surprise that I would love to see Harvest Moon 64 make its way to the Switch. Sure, you can find and play it on PCs still, but this is an excellent time to make this version accessible to more people. So yeah, it’s not exactly the easiest to track down and get your hands on. That’s because the 64 version was only released in North America, and even then it was a Blockbuster store exclusive. Bringing slightly better textures, enhanced sound, and even major gameplay improvements, it was definitely the better version of this game.Įven so, not too many people were able to play it on the console. Though it was initially developed for PCs, Indiana Jones‘ first 3D adventure game actually benefited from being ported to the Nintendo 64. The action adventure game allowed players to use their whip to navigate various platforming sections, solve puzzles, and duke it out with both real and supernatural enemies throughout. It’s a race against the Soviet Union as you seek to uncover four pieces of ancient Babylonian technology (the titular “Infernal Machine”) which could be used to open a portal to another dimension. Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine takes place after the events of the movies, and even the previous game, Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix. Would love to relive this journey without hassle. It’s a fun bit of story lore that fills in some gaps, while allowing for plenty of action. It offers a glimpse into the perils the people left behind on Naboo had to deal with (and their initial resistance) after Queen Amidala left to plead for help in the Senate. More importantly, however, Battle for Naboo tells a completely original story set during the events of The Phantom Menace. It’s a solid game, that manages to tighten up the already solid flying controls from Rogue Squadron, while adding in the ground vehicle elements we’d see the Rogue Squadron franchise pick up on down the road. In fact, without an original console, there’s really no good way to play the game.įor this reason alone, it deserves a chance to rediscovery on Switch Online. While other Star Wars games on the N64 can be found, and played, elsewhere (including Episode 1 Racer that got a recent remaster), Battle For Naboo has not. While Rogue Squadron is definitely one of my favorite Star Wars games of this era, I never felt like Battle For Naboo (made by the same developers) gets enough love. Much like I did with my Game Boy picks (still scratching my head THOSE weren’t announced during the Direct as well), I thought it’d be fun to break down the games I hope to see come to the service soon. That said, there are still a number of amazing titles left out. To be honest, their initial line-up (and the tease of ones coming later) is pretty damn solid and delivers several classics fans will happily gobble up. Nintendo finally answered our prayers (demands?) during the most recent Nintendo Direct by revealing N64 games are heading to an expanded Switch Online service. Following the exciting news that Nintendo 64 games are finally heading to the Switch, I have some requests on what to add to the roster…
