Nice to see Nintendo giving N64 games some love with QoL upgrades—rewind alone might save me from rage-quitting Water Temple again. Shame about the OG Switch limitations, but hey, at least we’re getting GoldenEye without the hassle of hunting down an old CRT.

Rewind and CRT filters are a slick way to modernize N64 classics—Nintendo knows how to tap into nostalgia without feeling lazy. Kinda bummed OG Switch owners miss out on rewind, but at least button remapping’s a solid consolation prize.
