Perfect Dark Switch Online issues

Perfect Dark was one of the surprise additions to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service as part of yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, but unfortunately, fans were quick to discover that it’s plagued with a number of issues. What’s especially concerning is that these problems weren’t present when the title first came to the N64 all of those years ago.

Graslu00 shared a breakdown of the current situation on social media. Everything is outlined in the post here, but for a quick rundown of what’s been found currently:

Perfect Dark, Rare’s classic N64 shooter, is officially 20 years old today. To celebrate the milestone, Eurogamer caught up with several of its key developers as well as then Nintendo of America producer Ken Lobb to learn more about the creation of the project. Several interesting topics were discussed in the feature, such as how Rare decided against making a sequel to GoldenEye 007, how the Perfect Dark name was chosen, using the memory Expansion Pak, and more.

We have a roundup featuring these notable points below. The full feature from Eurogamer can be found here.

Mayles indicated that Velvet Dark would have been an N64 title, but there’s some debate about that. This is a very interesting piece of gaming history in any case!
