Turok just showed up on the Nintendo eShop:

Appears to have first been found by Canadian deal-finder Lbabinz on Twitter:

Hope it has a mode to play it with one stick and the face buttons for the full N64 experience.

 

[harz-marz]

This game has not aged well at all...

 

[Sumio Mondo]

This game had rad boss battles.

I disagree. Enjoyed playing through them on PC recently (assuming the Switch version would match the PC one)

 

[GulAtiCa]

If it really is the original, I'm so hyped

 

[Karateka]

Disagree great game.
No reason to say this game has aged poorly and goldeneye has aged well

 

[Weiss]

I'd pay a pretty penny for smoothed out N64 games with a sensible controller.

 

[disgraciau]

We need Turok 2 to recreate that sweet split-screen multiplayer from N64 era, but now at silky-smooth 60 FPS!

 

[9-Volt]

I want this for my N64 Classic mini as well, if that's a thing. I need to play this with a N64 controller again.

 

[delete12345]

I think this is how we can play Nintendo 64 games on the Switch.

Port them over.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Please port Doom 64 next. Please! I'll pay top dollar.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Nah this one aged fine. Turok 2 on the other hand...

 

[Umbrella Carp]

So if Nintendo decide to start porting N64 games to Switch, how do they handle Ocarina and Majora? Do they port the original N64 versions or the 3DS remakes?

 

[daybreak]

lol, I see Nibel found the thread and followed the link that lbabinz found for his screenshot...and now everyone is confused about the CAD pricing.

EDIT: And Cartridge Games: https://twitter.com/CartridgeGames/status/1103005585786761219 (P.S: Canada is part of North America)

EDIT2: ZhugeEX chimes in - the reason everyone is confused is because no credit was given to lbabinz for finding the Canadian link! No harm no foul, but it's pretty hilarious to me.

I loved that you could get the enemies to fight each other.

The one that nets them $60.

 

[Tom Nook]

N64 classics are coming home.

 

[Phil's Empty Chair]

Enjoyed them both on Xbox. Good remasters.

I disagree, I've played this game for the first time with the remaster on xbox one, it's great.

Turok 2 is also coming, this is from the Nightdive discord

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Wonder if this was what LRGs tweet was about:

Those are a lot of "if" right there.

Yes!

I'm actually surprised this hasn't happened, that game is too good to be lost to time on the N64.

Ooh. Any news of other Nightdive games, like System Shock 1/2?

You'll have to ask the people at Nightdive on their discord.

It's on their website http://www.nightdivestudios.com/

Watching devs about-facing on the console is the gift that just keeps on giving. Day one for both. Day one if LRG does a physical release as well.

Oh my.

I mean I'm waiting for a sale because I'm not spending $30 CAD on N64 games, but still!

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Yes please and Turok 2 after that. It's even better than the original.

That would be really cool. I'd be down for Turok on a "newer" cart.

 

[Silky]

Still waiting on Rage Wars / 3 PC

Oh my.

It's $20 on PC and XBO so it's nothing outrageous but yeah CAD is kinda fucked with their prices.

 

[Fonst]

March 18 is a funny day but I'll take it!

 

[YolkFolk]

Here's how they looked on PC

Mod Edit: We don't want to signal boost content from gggmanlives.

Page is up now on Nintendo US https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/turok-switch

 

[Inspector Detector]

OMG YASSSS

 

[Biteren]

so this isnt the TurokEX game from Nightdive???

EDIT: i just saw the nintendo page, nice!

That's how I play QuakeLive on PC and how I played Timesplitters 2, aiming/moving is much better that way than using the dual analog method where aiming is much harder (no joke either).

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Plus tax.

 

[It’s Reyn Time!]

Is that the HD version or a straight port of the original?

What. You poor bastard.

HD.

 

[Pillock]

Them charging £20 for this is as bad as Capcom charging £30 for RE4 in my opinion!

Is it really though? That's the same price they charge on all platforms at launch.

 

[DrLight66]

Turok 64 is a top 20 FPS of all time imo, maybe top 15.

 

[Spacejaws]

Still waiting on Rage Wars / 3 PC

Click to shrink...

Me too my dude. Would love to play Rage Wars with online matchmaking.

Good shit on these titles getting released on Switch but unfortunately I have them already but they are great ports that got a lot of support and fixes too.
