If you are a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber looking for something a little more violent than Excitebike or Star Fox, this update is for you.
Subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack now have access to Forsaken 64.
Released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, the game is a first-person shooter on a motor bike flying through a busted up planet Earth that is recovering from an attack by a mechanized menace.
Game Details
Rated MA-17, Forsaken 64 was a highly regarded game in its day, garnering a review score of 8/10 from Ian and 8.5/10 from GameSpot when it was new, although the PC version scored even higher according to Wikipedia.
Per Nintendo, players are dropped into a futuristic version of “Earth that is a death trap riddled with merciless mechanic adversaries and Ganges of rival bounty hunters.”
“You are a ruthless mercenary, sent to the condemned remains of Earth as part of a covert operation codenamed ‘Forsaken.’ Your mission is to infiltrate and destroy the last bastions of the mechanized terror that wiped out all life on the planet.
Nintendo
As you would expect, the game features different bikes with different features and separate characters with unique dispositions.
“You’ll have to brave them all astride your anti-grav pioncycle to make your fortune…or meet your doom.”

The game also has both single- and multi-player modes.
