About Knife Edge: Nose Gunner
Kemco offers up a title that introduces brand new gameplay concepts to the Nintendo 64 with KNIFE EDGE: Nose Gunner. The storyline takes the player to Mars and beyond, battling against enemies of an alien variety. The gameplay takes classic shooting action and sticks it in a first-person perspective, resulting in an intense and action-packed affair.

In addition to the one-player Story mode, there is a Practice mode that allows the player to sharpen their shooting skills. To appease fans of multiplayer, there is the option to play with up to four people in the Story mode, as well as fight against each other in the Team Battle mode. KNIFE EDGE: Nose Gunner for the Nintendo 64 offers a large amount of options and modes, as well as an exciting shooting adventure that is truly unique among N64 titles.

A rail shooter that N64 Magazine summed up as a light-gun game with no gun.
Knife Edge: Nose Gunner, called just Knife Edge in Europe, is a 3D rail shooter developed and published by Kemco, released in North America in November 1998 with Japan following later that month. The ship's path is fixed, and the four C buttons give you some ability to move.
GameFan's August 1998 preview liked the look of it and the speed of the engine. N64 Magazine later dismissed it by comparing it to a light-gun game without the light gun.
