Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is Coming to Netflix on December 14

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is coming to Netflix on December 14th and will be available on the Apple App Store, Google Play as well as in the Netflix mobile app. Starting today, subscribers will be able to pre-register to download Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, each updated for mobile.

GTA 3 is where it all began, with a massive open world, a wild cast of characters from every walk of life, and the freedom to explore at will. Vice City takes you back to the 1980s and follows Tommy Vercetti’s tale of betrayal and revenge in a neon-soaked tropical town. San Andreas transports players to the early 90s where Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson is framed and forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state to save his family and to take control of the streets.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition adds to a growing catalog of more than 80 mobile games, with must-play titles across all genres adding further value to all Netflix memberships — including through one of the most iconic series in history, without any ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees,” said Netflix.

Rare’s Jet Force Gemini N64 Arrives on Nintendo Switch Online in December

Rare’s Jet Force Gemini, originally released for the N64 (1999), arrives on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack in December. This third-person shooter follows three members of a galactic law enforcement team as they try to stop a horde of drones led by an insectoid called Mizar.

The single-player mode has players exploring a galaxy to save Tribals, a race of survivors who have been enslaved and imprisoned by Mizar. They’ll have to shoot large numbers of enemies while dodging their attacks, while the multiplayer mode lets 2-4 players compete in traditional deathmatch-style games. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers will be able to enjoy both Jet Force Gemini and GoldenEye 007 on December 1st (or November 30 in Japan).

Those who remember playing this title in 1999 are probably familiar with its 80s video arcade-inspired gameplay, combined with mechanics from modern N64 titles like Super Metroid and Super Mario 64. This isn’t the first time that the game has been re-released, as in 2015, Jet Force Gemini also made its way to the Rare Replay video game compilation for Xbox One.
