Can a man dream about Conker for Nintendo Switch Online at this pint? It does not seem like a total stretch anymore.

The moment they introduce the M-rated section, I knew Conker would have to be coming soon. N64 only has like a couple hundred games total, with only a handful being M-rated. (https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1dj0f3n/here_is_a_list_of_all_mrated_games_on_n64_and_the/). Shocked Conker hasn’t been added yet.

oh man thank you for this comment. I had no idea there was a separate M-rated N64 app on Switch. Finally I have access to Perfect Dark and Turok!

Hell yeah, great game. Not quite as polished as the first one, but still a fun, charming, and very ambitious game for its time.

The polish is fine, it is the open world confusing structure that honestly is more of a drag in this game than something positive.

The head of marketing for Xbox said nobody cared about Banjo-Kazooie. That's bullshit.

Banjo is and has always been wildly over hyped

Did you play it in the 90s? Cuz Banjo-Kazooie was definitely a top game of the N64/PSX/Saturn gen. Playing it on NSO it has admittedly not aged all that well (pace is too slow, controls not great), compared to something like Mario 64 which is still a fantastic play. But when it came out it was absolutely as good as the hype. Was truly the platformer successor to Mario 64.

I get why they were so liked then but I don't think they aged that great. The collectathon is annoying. Then again it's better than modern collectathons. They call that Gaas now with MTX. 10 different type of currencies in every game now lol
