A new addition to the Nintendo Switch's Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack catalog, it's one of the more infamous games of the time period. Mostly because the advertisement featuring the seemingly shell-shocked woman with the facial tattoo seem to precede the actual game itself. It was easily seen in practically every video game magazine publication. Developed originally by Probe Entertainment, the N64 version "Forsaken 64" saw its production duties handled by Acclaim's Iguana UK division. A decent first person shooter for its time, it plays very similar the Descent series, while borrowing elements of Quake.

Forsaken 64 hits the Nintendo Switch on September 4th

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. Earth is a death trap riddled with merciless mechanoid adversaries and gangs of rival bounty hunters, and you'll have to brave them all astride your anti-grav pioncycle to make your fortune...or meet your doom.

Choose between different modes in this first-person shooter title released for the Nintendo 64™ system in 1998, and enter the fight in Single Player Mode or Multi-Player Mode. Then, select your bike. Each bike has different attributes, each biker a different attitude. Pick one that suits your style, then dive into your mission. The availability of weapons, enemies, and powerups changes depending on the level you play, so stay sharp!

Access requires purchase of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
