Dark Rift is a 3D fighting video game for the Nintendo 64, notable for being the first N64 game to use 60 frames per second.[2] It has been referred to as the Nintendo 64's first native fighting game,[3] though in actuality it started development as a Sega Saturn game.[4][5] In addition, it was originally announced that the Microsoft Windows version of the game would precede the Nintendo 64 version by one month.[6]
It was originally announced under the title "Criticom II",[7] and is the second of three fighting games developed by Kronos Digital, falling between Criticom and Cardinal Syn.
