Nintendo has revealed that another retro N64 game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online tomorrow, and if you're a fan of relatively obscure 90s shooters, you're in for a treat with this one.

As revealed by a brand new trailer, the latest N64 title to come to Switch Online is none other than Forsaken 64, the Nintendo 64 version of a game that was also released for PC and the original PlayStation in 1998.

Indeed, this isn't the first time Acclaim's FPS has been re-released; back in 2018, as part of its 20th anniversary, tireless retro stewards Nightdive released a remastered version of Forsaken, complete with support for modern hardware, a new automap feature, and more.

Forsaken 64 will soon be available on Nintendo Switch Online.

This being Nintendo Switch Online, however, the version you're getting here isn't Nightdive's remaster; rather, it's an upscaled version of the original N64 game, so if you prefer your retro re-releases faithful to the originals, then this one's for you.

It's also worth mentioning that Forsaken 64 is only available as part of Nintendo Switch Online's 18+ collection, so if the age on your account is lower than that, you won't be able to play it even if you are signed up for Switch Online.

Like other N64 titles on Switch Online, you also won't be able to check this one out if you're not signed up for the Expansion Pack addon, so make sure to grab that if this is a game you want to play on your Switch.

You can check out a trailer showing off exactly what you can expect from Forsaken 64 on Nintendo Switch Online right here.

Forsaken 64 will be added to the Nintendo Switch Online catalog tomorrow, so if you're tired of playing that other game with the same release date, you know where to head. Stay tuned for more.
