Two new releases launching this week channel the spirit of the Nintendo 64, specifically the beloved classics Star Fox 64 and Goldeneye. Agent 64 Spies Never Die is a first-person shooter heavily inspired by Goldeneye, while Wild Blue Skies is an on-rails shooter influenced by Star Fox 64.
Agent 64 Spies Never Die Launches on PC
Agent 64 Spies Never Die is out now exclusively for PC via Steam. The game is currently discounted to around £17.50, with a typical price of £20. Blending Goldeneye with Perfect Dark, it not only plays like the N64 classic but also utilises a similar graphical style.
Players control a secret agent named John Walter, tasked with saving the world from his arch-nemesis Dominic Pulp. The game features 14 missions, each with multiple objectives that must be completed to unlock new bonuses, including big head mode.
"Traverse skyscrapers, nightclubs, museums, catacombs, and snow bases in a heart-pumping journey of espionage," reads the official description. Much like Goldeneye, it can be played in single-player, but also co-operatively with friends online or in split-screen.
Wild Blue Skies Arrives August 13
Launching on August 13, Wild Blue Skies is not as faithful to the source material as Agent 64, but it's clearly inspired by Star Fox and other on-rail shooters. Coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, the game features a cartoon art style that complements the fast-paced action.
Players take control of the Blue Bomber squad, tasked with restoring peace and pushing back the evil Grimclaw's forces. Much like Star Fox, the game features branching paths and other secrets for extra replayability. A demo is also available for those keen to check out the old-school action and chase high-scores.
