Nightdive Studios has been behind some top-tier ports and remasters over the years. Most recently, the company was behind PowerSlave Exhumed on Switch. Nightdive also brought a number of other games to the platform, including Quake, Turok 1 and 2, Shadowman Remastered, and more.

released the first N64 games on their platform.”
