So weird. JFG is my personal favorite of the Rare prime days. The game was basically Metroid 64 that we never got.

The only bad thing about this game is the second half collect-a-thon. You need to collect literally everything to access the final level, and I do mean *EVERYTHING*.

Too many whinged about the controls in JFG (it's simply a case of configuring the auto settings to the manual settings in the options if needed), and not enough about how brilliant the 1-player game itself is. The graphics are truly outstanding, the areas are absolutely huge, the orchestral soundtrack is simply the best on the system, and the shooting/exploration gameplay is addictive. A top 10 N64 game for sure.

@@ts7844 Lame opinions. Let me take a wild guess, you're a PC gamer. As I already stated, the auto aim controls can be turned off, not that you tried that. It's a twin stick 3D shooter made before such games were mass commodified. I've 100% this game multiple times over several years, so either I'm a genius able to play this IMPOSSIBLE game, or you're a dipshit.

Yeah the issue is that there is zero customization of the controls and the base controls has like a 10 in sensitivity. So trying to aim is absolute cancer as it just goes from pointing forward to the corner of your screen. I find myself just running and auto aiming rather than manual aiming and when I do manual aim its one of those cases of having to strafe my aim onto the target rather than actually aim. If they'd allow us to simply tone back the aiming a bit I wouldn't feel like I'm half dead even at the starting level lmao

Rare has so much potential to keep re-releasing their games on Nintendo Switch Online: Killer Instinct (SNES) All the Battletoads games for Nintendo consoles. The Donkey Kong Land trilogy for Game Boy The Game Boy Color port of Perfect Dark, which has surprisingly good speech sampling for the handheld And a bunch of others I missed. The only games that they probably wouldn't be able to re-release would be the N64 Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day because of the M ratings for both. I woukd be really surprised if Rare and Nintendo did that.

It could happen, considering the fact that both goldeneye and jet force Gemini are rated Cero Z in Japan, which is their equivalent of an M rating. They had to make an entirely separate application just for those two games because of their ratings, so we could potentially see something like that happening for other games that were rated M on the N64. But even then I'm not very hopeful that it would

Loved it back in the day, would have given it a 9 out of 10. Understand that most gamers had zero backlog back then so a long game was a very good thing. But haven't played it since because it doesn't emulate. Very interested to see how it holds up for me.

I don't know how the game holds up, but I'm hoping these Microsoft/Nintendo collaborations can help kickstart a whole new game sometime. Give Jet Force Gemini to one of the many booming indie studios out there, then publish it on Switch and Xbox and PC at the same time? That would be great.

For me, this game is a definite Yay. It's one of my favorites on the N64. I guess I understand some of the criticisms. The controls may take some getting used to, but I never found them all that hard to work with, even without reconfiguring them. Enemy variety is a little low (there are basically 3 classes of enemies that come in 8 types each), something that might be a bigger problem for me these days. I don't think that really held this game back much though. The biggest criticism I hear these days is the Tribal Hunt that blocks the way to the final area. I had no problem with that back then. I was okay with the change of tack. However, I do feel I understand why people disliked it. It sucks out the momentum. I guess if they had to rectify it, they could make it so a certain percentage of Tribals were needed to reach the Asteroid rather than all of them and then they could give a special addition to the ending for those who chose to get 100%. That's my take anyway. I would love to play this again. OH yeah, I forgot that there even was a multiplayer mode....

Back in the day I enjoyed Jet Force Gemini, but as a PAL gamer I was raised on a dier of sluggish games and blessed with the time back then to 100% games as vast as JFG. But when I remember what it was like to play these games I muat confess... I wonder if I'd like them as well now as I did back then, or if playing slicker games like Ratchet & Clank has cganged my standards for good.

Hopefully they were able to transition the controls to a more Modern and basic / accepted control layout and the game would be fun to try again

@@slaayerr1 the only thing I wasn’t able to edit that I don’t like about the controls is inverted aiming. You can change pro controller button mapping in the system settings. I’m just acknowledging that Nintendo could remap their games within the game, or have an option that asks if you have the N64 controller or a different controller, then adjust the controls accordingly. I’m fine aiming and walking around with the c-stick also when things get too crazy in the game, which isn’t too many times. I mostly just auto aim at drones, I don’t think the game was meant to be played like a resident evil game where you stand completely still and aim, which is why the c-stick allows for movement during aiming.

I feel like there should be like, a Grumpiness Scale with Next Generation and Game Informer on the one end and Hardcore GameFan and GamePro on the other and see where the other magazines fall in between xD As for JFG, I, uh, haven't played it. By the time it came out, I had kinda lost interest in Rare's output, as RPGs on PlayStation were my main focus and the N64 had become my Pokemon (and occasionally Smash Bros.) machine. I'll definitely give it a try whenever I decide to upgrade my NSO subscription. From the reviews, it sounds to me like it kinda got caught in the "pad the game to increase runtime" trend that plagued games from the late 90s all the way through the 00s (and arguably still affects a lot of the AAA market today)
