This is quite possibly one of the best of Nintendo’s “forgotten” games. It’s the single player shooter genre done right. It’s a rail shooter, which was pretty new to Nintendo at the time, with Star Fox being the only attempt at the genre they’ve done before. It didn’t receive an english translation until 2007, 7 years after the games release. Sadly, everyone will have to admit that the voice acting work is terrible in this game. It sounds fanmade. The subtitles also haven’t been translated, which sucks, as it’s hard to hear what the VAs are saying from time to time. But this game also tells a compelling story, and has the challenge to keep you hooked. The game isn’t the longest (only took me about 3 hours in total to finish) but it’s still a fun play. Is it worth the $12? That’s honestly for you to decide. Maybe wait for Nintendo to announce N64 Switch Online and play it on there, if you’re not really sure about it now.
