It\u2019s been four years since Nintendo brought the first batch of Nintendo 64 games to its Nintendo Switch Online service, now redubbed Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics. For someone who started his games media career covering N64 games, this modern take on Nintendo\u2019s legendary Virtual Console era was a very welcome addition. I ended up playing through a few of the games over the months that followed and was surprised how well some of them aged (special shoutout to Rare\u2019s Banjo games)!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all sunshine, of course. The games aren\u2019t running natively and may not feel as snappy as you remember them. Some early emulation challenges, like Ocarina of Time\u2019s fog rendering, were addressed pretty quickly, even if some others still linger (F-Zero X is still not as we remember it). And while there are many all-time classics to be found in the emulated library, I would\u2019ve honestly expected a bigger lineup by now with a few more first-party hits as well as some third-party gems that have firmly entered the forgotten gems realm. Which means, Nintendo Classics is a convenient and cost-effective solution to relive the N64 age, but not a perfect one. <\/p>\n
