Blast Corps (N64) Retro Review

Buckle up, D-Pads! We're about to demolish, incinerate, and bulldoze a path of destruction through Blast Corps on the N64! It was Rare's first of MANY successful releases developed from the ground up exclusively for the N64, and it kicked off a partnership between the two companies which seemed unbreakable until a surprise purchase of Rare by Microsoft in 2002. But while this game shattered our expectations in 1997, does it still stand strong 25 years later? Before strapping in, we give our impressions on Stray, catch up on progress with The Outer Wilds and Ghost of Tsushima, and talk about the impact of subscription services on the gaming industry.
