Jet Force Gemini is a game that, while it has its flaws, I still really enjoy, and I was thrilled to see it make its way to Nintendo Switch Online a while ago. Plus, it has a killer soundtrack that gives one the sense that they are on a grand adventure. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

Its not popular enough, but I would pay full retail price for a decompile and fan project to polish off the rough edges and game play issue that never quite landed.

The game is fucking great. It got above average reviews with some minor gripes about certain aspects. It's a shame we never got a proper sequel.

You and DK Vine are pushing me ever closer to the edge of getting an Xbone just for Rare Replay, and today might have been the tipping point

moominfini.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lore update: I did the thing. Xbones are pretty cheap nowadays it turns out

This was a friend of mines fave game. I haven't seen her in ages cos we met in a study abroad. Miss her.

I remember wanting this game when I was a kid, but never did. Perfect Dark was the other one.

For a hot second, I thought that said "smoothiest" and wondered if I missed a reference somewhere.

This game came out at the same time as DK64, it’s no wonder it got left in the dust.

ARE YOU GOING TO BREAK MY HEART, MATT

mattmcmuscles.bsky.social•4 days ago

Just stating the facts! No heart-breaking is intended! 😅

Damn I forgot how cruel this game is to beat. I swear there's a family of tribals in a house with ants and explosives. Never saved them firing wildly on an n64 controller!

aaahhrealmarcus.bsky.social•3 days ago

I still can't with that character artwork. I remember the first time I saw them in Nintendo Power, I cringed right out of my socks

ksib.bsky.social•4 days ago

A remake of this would be so nice

senguie.bsky.social•4 days ago

I got that game for my birthday and it’s such a fun game

mrjotaku.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh hell yeah!

beantrix.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh man we got MAYBE two video games all year and this was one of them so I LOVED it
Of course I was like 10 and didn’t play it short of multiplayer(I was too scared, my brother did) I did do what we call fan fic now-maybe cuz the story was lacking

oliver1nonly.bsky.social•4 days ago

Never played it but seems my obligation to inform the biggest JFG "psycho" I know😝 @blessingjr.bsky.social . Nevertheless, I will watch it as I love your takes @mattmcmuscles.bsky.social

jetforcegeminifans.bsky.social•3 days ago

Always looking for more jfg fans!

creativedoc.bsky.social•4 days ago

The redesigns were for the best.

The OG designs were kinda weirdish looking. Like someone trying to do something animeish but not really understanding what it was.

jetforcegeminifans.bsky.social•3 days ago

We saw this linked in the disc! Thanks so much

geistbox.bsky.social•4 days ago

Despite how absolutely malicious it is to beat I think this is my favorite N64 game. It's the closest the console got to a Metroid game in terms of design and the vibes are immense, possibly Rare's best soundtrack work. Felt surreal to finally beat the game some decade later as an adult.

retroblast.bsky.social•4 days ago

This guy told me I should buy it in 1999.

lostuser64.bsky.social•4 days ago

I actually went to a summer camp with this guy’s daughter awhile ago. She had the same last name as him and they looked relatively similar when she showed me the video of him on her phone, so I believed her

retroblast.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's some pretty interesting lore tbh 😆

lightstrider.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely *adore* these videos and can only imagine how much time, research, and sweat goes into making them.

From one kid-at-heart to another: Thank You!!

I feel like JFG would have gone on to become a rival franchise to Ratchet and Clank if Rare stayed with Nintendo.

theraphael.bsky.social•3 days ago

Man, you just unlocked a memory for me. I used to love this game when I was a kid 🥲

hudde814.bsky.social•4 days ago

Shame the game has so many bugs in it, would be a decent game otherwise

oppungo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Awesome! My favorite 64 game.

mattmcmuscles.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks to @thecartoongamer.bsky.social for the edit on this!

captainironpaw.bsky.social•4 days ago

Man I loved this game as a kid. Rented it from blockbuster so many times

zalora.bsky.social•4 days ago

FINALLY! I'm hyped to watch this

trowzersnek.bsky.social•4 days ago

I freakin' love this game.

onyxblanc.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don't even really want to watch this... I want this game to live on in my memory as this legendary 3rd person shooter and not the slog I logically know it to be.
