An absolute basic is one in all two Nintendo 64 video games set to affix the Nintendo Classics library this month. Rayman 2: The Nice Escape and Tonic Hassle, each from Ubisoft, can be obtainable to play for Nintendo Switch Online + Growth Pack subscribers beginning December 17.
Rayman 2 was initially launched in 1999 for Nintendo 64 and PC, with ports on Dreamcast, PlayStation, and different platforms following in subsequent years. It was the primary 3D outing for Ubisoft’s mascot and obtained acclaim from critics, rivaling Crash Bandicoot, Banjo-Kazooie, and even Tremendous Mario 64.
Tonic Hassle can also be an Ubisoft unique, although decidedly with a lesser popularity in comparison with Rayman 2. Designed by Rayman creator Michel Ancel, the action-adventure sport depicts a mutated Earth with a ton of colourful and quirky character designs.
GameSpot’s Rayman 2: The Nice Escape evaluation from 2000 rewarded the title a 9.3 rating, citing its “splendidly humorous story, glorious sport mechanics, and perfection in virtually all different classes.” In the meantime, Tonic Hassle obtained a 3/10 evaluation from GameSpot in 1999, with the reviewer lamenting that it will likely be remembered as “the sport that is not Rayman 2.”
If these Ubisoft additions aren’t doing it for you, not less than the addition of Rayman 2 bodes nicely for a few first-party Nintendo video games making it onto the service. Again in July, on-line sleuths checked out blurry cover-art pictures from a Nintendo video and deduced that 5 then-unannounced additions to Nintendo Classics have been coming to the service.
Two of these 5 titles, one being Rayman 2 and the opposite being Forsaken 64, have made it to Nintendo Switch Online since then, with the remaining video games being Glover, Donkey Kong 64, and the unique Tremendous Smash Bros. The latter two have been obtrusive omissions, so Rayman 2’s NSO debut ought to give hope to these ready for some licensed bangers on the service.
