Surely one of the best decisions that nintendo has taken during the generation of switch is that of load the famous virtual console that forced us to check out to get the company’s classic games for consoles old women and then, when there was a change of generation, they remained anchored there forever and unusable. Now, however, everything depends on the annual subscription that brings us some joy on machines like the one we have today and which we hope will be available on Switch 2: Nintendo 64.
The fact is that those games that we have because we are subscribed to Nintendo Online They are a delight because they are constantly unlocking memories of our childhood, thanks to NES cartridges, Game Boy, Super Nintendo, Mega Drive, Nintendo 64 and other systems that made our youth even better in the 90s. And today we have two new games that join the list of classics available to use in our switch.
Two Nintendo 64 classics in 3D
As many of you will surely remember, nintendo 64 It was the first 3D console from the Japanese and, although it was not a success and was defeated by the power of PlayStation, it left us with some titles that are especially remembered by players. shadowman and Turok 2for example, were part of that legion of releases that gave themselves completely to 3D environments and that, each one in its particular concept, helped lay the foundations for many franchises that we enjoy today.
shadowmanfor example, was a dark third-person action game, which took us to a ghostly world (some would say infernal) in which its protagonist, Michael LeRoi, must protect humanity from all the dangers that lurk. And remembering the old classic, there were too many dangers that we had to overcome. In its day it was one of the most important games and it recently had a remastering that is not bad at all.
For its part, Turok 2 Seeds of Evil It was the immediate consequence of the tremendous success of the first installment. Just like shadowmanwas a cartridge marketed by the defunct Acclaim, and programmed by Iguana Entertainment, which in those years was one of the most recognized names in the industry. In this continuation, the formula of the first Turok It is shot with bigger stages, more beasts and new weapons that improved the game even more. gunplay.
Where and when to play these titles?
These two games, Shafdowman and Turok 2 Seeds of Evil They are now available to play within the section dedicated to Nintendo 64 and, yes, remember that to be able to play with them you need the Expansion Pack from Nintendo Online. That is, that extra that you have to pay apart from the normal price and that gives us access to the console cartridges that the Japanese released in the second half of the 90s.
Take advantage of the opportunity because it is not every day that we have two such important games, which also do not belong to the portfolio of nintendo but they triumphed from the barrier of a third party how was it Acclaim.
