Is Cobra Triangle still worth playing in 2026?

A top down action game from Rare published by Nintendo, Cobra Triangle puts you at the controls of an armed speedboat that chains varied missions, races, rescues, boss fights and defence against aquatic enemies, on waterways with treacherous currents. The variety of objectives, the careful simulated 3D and Rare's craft give a rich, snappy title for the NES. The difficulty stays high. For a retro arcade action fan, someone curious about Rare productions or a collector, the title keeps a remarkable variety and quality.
