I tried it as a kid and couldn't get anywhere. I tried it again recently on switch, still couldn't get anywhere lmao. Aiming on N64 is insanely hard after 20 years of getting used to 2 sticks on a controller. I have a USB N64 controller for the switch and it definitely helps, but there's a part where there's some turrets on the ceiling and I literally could not get past it lmfao, I lost ALL skill with N64 aiming. And yeah, I tried before I had the N64 controller and it was just impossible. Like, the right stick is the c buttons, I'm not even sure what x y zr and zl do, it's just impossible lmao, the N64 controller is too unique
That would explain Vela's underwater breathing quite a bit there. Wow! Great analysis there. Man, I need more of these kind of videos for Jet Force Gemini. It's my favorite game of all time! I wish they did more with it. Did you know there is a small theory that this game is a "spiritual successor" to JetPac, one of RARE's oldest games? I wonder how you could connect the two there? Haha.
That’s a very interesting idea! Thanks for watching! The world is sorely lacking Jet Force Content. It’s sad :/ I think it’s a good game. Hopefully I can make more in the future!
@@jiggylookback Yes! Imagine a sequel with proper controls! Hey, theres an idea for a series you can start doing. Call it jiggylookforward, and imagine what a remake or sequel could look like for these gems.
@@zachhawkins5005lol, me too, i was expecting like some mario kart and i was 'what is this? Never heard of it' and i was a little disappointed but after days trying it omg, it got better and better, one day a friend told me to switch all of his games for only JFG but i was so hanged on that i kept playing JFG 😂 masterpiece
Juno's Story sounds similar to Samus Arrans story parents killed by space pirates, shame if Rare was still part of Nintendo maybe a crossover of Jet Force Gemini and Metroid.
This was one of a few Rare games I never had as a kid. I have played it on the switch online which is great. Hopefully more rare games will come to the service at some point. Anyway, very nice explanation on the three characters. That’s very interesting about Vela being able to breathe in water and her being part fish. The whole thing is very interesting and I don’t think you are over thinking it. xD
Just wanted to point out that Vela is most likely named after the constellation of the same name, which itself was named after ship sails in latin. Her name is consistent with her brother's, while also explaining why the devs had her specialize in water.
man out of all the Rare-made games this one is what I think is the most underrated its their only attempt at a Anime-Styled 3rd person shooter iirc not to mention the ant gore although Juno and Vela's appearance implied age for doing what they do is rather...questionable? Like all the adult squadron members got wiped out somehow so its up to the kids to bring it back to normalcy (Think like a typical Gundam Plotline)
It is such a shame!! It really did have a lot of potential! When making the videos I have for it I noticed a severe lack of content as well. People basically only have let’s plays and maybe a few retrospectives. I want to make more content for this and bring more people to the series!!
@@jiggylookback I remember when I first got it when it came out. It introduced me to sci-fi (I was 5) and now it’s a big inspiration for a novel I’m writing. I appreciate anyone who gives it the love it deserves…you earned yourself a subscriber good sir.
@@brandikins11 Heck yeah! I have at least one other jet force gemini video on my channel and it plays into my Rare Universe video! I highly recommend those ones!
I played his first on an emulator. Game worked fine until one area that I had to turn wireframe mode on and play like that because the graphics weren't viewable otherwise lol
YES! More Jet Force Gemini vids 🙏🙌. Man I was so hyped for this game as a kid but actually never got to play it until later in life during my 20s, and it quickly became one of my fave N64 games. What a masterpiece!
@@jiggylookback personally I love 100%ing a good game so that doesn’t bother me so much, I’d probably 100% it whether it was required or not lol. But I get why it would bother people. What bothers me is you really wanna get all the ammo upgrades for Juno or you can make the final battle a real pain in the ass. Happened to me on my first playthrough and just decided to restart the game Kuz I kept running out of ammo. But I know now so I get all the ammo upgrades for him when I do a run.
@@jiggylookback I did do the time trail of the race to unlock the Diddy Kong Racing map. Screw that. Holy Christ that time trail was so tight, pretty much required boost RNG luck 😹😹 think it took me like 2-3 hours, but I was on a mission to fully 100% every Rare game back then (still haven’t done em all, gotta get back to it). Done it once in my life, never again 😹😹💀💀
Finally an explanation for that Fish Food...
Hahahaha, it also worked on activating the explosive mines you encounter, i thought that was like the final use for it 😂
so essentially sum this up the theory is twins Twins are Merpeople but with different Ratios of Man and Fish hybrids that's what I get from this
Essentially and it explains the fish food item
I tried this game once, but man, that game was so hard, I could not finish it.
It is hard! I can agree!
Me too 🙈 xD
Same...

Gotta git gud, I finished it when I was twelve.
You weirdly satisfy my craving for niche Rareware games info and discussions. Definitely earned a sub from me
I aim to please! Welcome to my channel haha

I should give this a game a try on stream sometime at some point, I enjoy most of the Rare Games on the N64!
Yeah you should! It’s a good game!
@@jiggylookback Same with Diddy Kong Racing, but I should try many games I missed as I can!
@@rodgamer6713 Diddy Kong Racing is even better
This game is a sci-fi classic from Rare like many of their older games
Heck yeah it is
It dosn’t work it says it dosn’t work in my country 😢
A digital code? Really?
Hang on I may have an alternate thing
@@jiggylookback k
I remember when I randomly got this game for Christmas when I was a kid, they even got the strategy guide to go with it and I absolutely loved it
It’s a banger of a game honestly! It needs more love! If it had a sequel/remake with dual stick controls people would see
@@jiggylookback Yes! Imagine a sequel with proper controls!

That would have been really cool actually.

I’m glad it came to NSO and more people can experience it! It’s a great game. Thanks for watching the video!
Just wanted to point out that Vela is most likely named after the constellation of the same name, which itself was named after ship sails in latin. Her name is consistent with her brother's, while also explaining why the devs had her specialize in water.
Well yeah. I just went the direct route.
Correction: The Jet Force is a large team of ships. Gemini is simply Juno's team.
I thought that too and originally had it in the script, but on looking it up I found otherwise.
This game was to hard for me. I just couldn’t deal with the 64 controls.
Oh really? I feel it has a learning curve but you get it after a while!
Uuuhhh, first comment xD uuuhhh my childhood 🤩 wonderful! :D freundliche Grüße aus Deutschland 😉✌️

I agree with you. On both counts…they’re only 16!
@@jiggylookback yeah thats quite young to be put in danger like that
Like this kind of videos buddy
Thanks for watching!
The Jet Force franchise had SO much potential. It's a crying shame it came and went like it did.

JET FORCE RADIO!!!
Jet Set Radio/Jet Force Gemini crossover. The game I didn’t know I wanted.
I'd love to see you do a full review of this game. It's one of my faves from the N64, especially for the soundtrack!
I will probably do a retrospective at some point for sure!
Lol, great concept for a video! Can't wait to see the next overthinking it :)
Thanks so much for watching. I just go where my brain takes me 😂
I read the fish food can distract beetle enemies but never felt like testing this
It does!
YES! More Jet Force Gemini vids 🙏🙌. Man I was so hyped for this game as a kid but actually never got to play it until later in life during my 20s, and it quickly became one of my fave N64 games. What a masterpiece!
