Expanded services now accessible for Nintendo Switch Online Plus subscribers!
Get ready for an adrenaline rush as two classic racing games, Extreme G and Iggy's Reckin' Balls, have been added to the Nintendo 64 collection on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
Extreme G, a high-speed futuristic racing game, lets you pilot anti-gravity motorcycles through gravity-defying tracks set in sci-fi environments. The gameplay is not just about racing, but also combat, as players can use a variety of weapons and gadgets to outmaneuver and attack opponents. With its pulse-pounding techno soundtrack, Extreme G offers immersive and intense racing action.
On the other hand, Iggy's Reckin' Balls combines racing with platforming gameplay. In this game, players control spherical characters racing through vertical, obstacle-filled tracks. Unique mechanics like grappling hooks and wall climbing add depth to the gameplay, making races challenging and engaging. Iggy's Reckin' Balls offers colorful visuals, charming character designs, and competitive multiplayer.
Both games are now available on the Nintendo Switch, with local and online multiplayer features that were not present in the original N64 releases. This enhancement significantly boosts their replayability and social experience. Additionally, players can enjoy features like suspend menus with save states and rewind functionality while playing on Switch Online, improving accessibility and convenience.
In Extreme G, players compete in three-lap races and can boost speed using Nitro up to three times per race. Powerful items can be picked up during races to be used for advantage or disadvantage against rivals. On the other hand, in Iggy's Reckin' Balls, players race up the Cho-Dama's Sacred Towers, with the race winner becoming the new leader. Mastering grappling skills and using power-ups and gadgets available in the tower are necessary to win.
Players in Iggy's Reckin' Balls must contend with other racers and the people of Cho-Dama who call forth hazards to thwart the racing. In Extreme G, players have to outmanoeuvre opponents using futuristic weapon systems equipped on their high-speed G-bikes.
