How are you celebrating the 20th birthday of themost fun5th generation console?
>>342696135
by remembering how fucking idiotic the controller is
>>342696135I can't be the only one on here that uses pj64U right?
If I care enough (very unlikely), I'll playing some Mario 64 or Paper Mario on the Wii U
I'm not. I wasn't a fan of the 5th gen when it was new, so I don't care about any of those consoles having a birthday now.
>>342696135
Is it actually the anniversary?
I didn't even know, but I pulled it out a couple of hours ago to play some Waverace
>>342696223
How would you play games like S&P or Mischief Makers without a N64 controller?
>>342697003
Anniversary in Japan
my post number ends in 64
>>342698467
nice try, buddy.
My favorite console of all time.
No matter the year, I always have it plugged in and I play it all the time.
From frantic multiplayer games, to classic arcade titles/racing games/platformers and my favorite FPS Perfect Dark, it has remained my favorite system.
It's sad to see it slowly dying with a couple of problems I've had recently however it's still kicking and works well enough to play my favorite games.
I got Turok.
I may get donkey kong 64 on virtual console- should I?
Recommend me some more mario rom hacks
playing some paper mario
Gonna 100% this game after almost 15 years of owning it.
>>342699487
I hear the mini games are fucking horrendous with the improved speed of the game. I'm not sure if it was fixed, but it's an okay collect-a-thon 3D platformer, certainty an obnoxious one, but fun nonetheless.
>>342699671
I went from this to TTYD and it was one of the most heartbreaking moments ive ever felt for a franchise. Gameplay wise the 2nd game is the peak of what the series was capable of, but the 1st is a cute and memorable adventure that will forever stay in my heartA fantastic game, I hope you enjoy it.
I had one but I was a fucking retard and only had shit games.
The good games I had were PokeStadium (which I used mostly for the minigames), Mario Kart and Smash Bros. I had Perfect Dark but mostly played the MP with cousins.
I was dumb and never got into the classics like LoZ, Banjo and Mario 64.
I don't know why, I jusy had no interest in those games when I was young. I played them with friends, but I never actually got into them and tried to beat them and such. Only a few years later, when my N64 haf already died and I'd started growing into an actual gamer with my PS2 and 100%ing games and shit that I went back and started emulating those games I'd missed out on.
It's funny because now LoZ is probably my favorite series and I've beaten all of the games in the series since. It still has a strong nostalgic value to me, since I beat them when I was entering highscool, a decade ago, but I still feel bad for not having played through them when I still had my working N64.
Still haven't played the Banjo games, wish Nintendo had the rights to put them up on the Virtual Console.
I did play Conker's tho, probably my favorite 3D platformer ever.
>>342700537
Nigga Banjo 1&2 HD is the best versions of the games, and this is coming from someone with the N64 games.
60fps
1080p
hi-rez textures
Stop n Swop
Like, why even bother with the N64 versions?
>>342699532
Looks fun, what's this rom's name?
>>342700896
Star Road I believe. Then again, that's really the only hack I know about so.
>>342700764
I don't have an xbox, and I'm not buying one just for those two games.
>>342700764
>60fps
Wrong
Both are still 30, however tooie doesnt have the framedrops of the 64.
Also the 360 version of kazooie has the notes permanently collected which takes some challenge out of the game.
>>342696223
Still better than fisher price tablet
>>342696135
Playing this shit since it just got released yesterday.
It had Mario Kart and Goldeneye but I'm sure the PS1 was way more fun with CTR, Tekken, Wipeout, Riiiidge Racer, Raystorm, Super Puzzle Fighter, Bust a Move, all the various light gun games and more games I don't even remember the names anymore.

I'm pretty sure you just did a shitty job at emulating them.
A friend of mine has a 7 year old son and he actually gave him his old N64 and the kid plays with it more than with his modern consoles.
There's something about those games that you just don't find in newer releases, too bad most people are too used to modern games to actually give them a try.
>>342696223
and how many Nintendo made you buy because they know you are a good goyim
N64 is the worst console of all time. I regret buying it in 1997 and paying 60 dollars for games with fog and inferior graphics to saturn

Rare saved N64
Too bad that the graphics, sound and controller on the N64 was almost as bad as the Atari Jaguar
>>342703468
what were you even trying to acomplish with that post
in what way is the fact that those games got rereleased or received sequels relevant
>>342703583
My point is that N64 is irrelevant and should be erased from the public memory because every good game was released elsewhere
The gimmick controller and having to buy memory card, expansion pak, etc was the most jewish move by Nintendo to this day
>>342703468
nice job skipping mischief maker and grouping smash bros as xbone game you blazing faggot
>>342703578
Old Rare is still my favourite developer ever and some N64 Rare games are still in my absolute top 10 ever (BK, PD and JFG) but you can't deny that the PS1 was the absolute winner of that gen in single player gaming, it was even better than PC.
If Rare remade or created a sequel to JFG or BK true to the style of the originals I would be overjoyed and assuming the games aren't shit I'd buy an Xbone ASAP. I did it with the 360 for Kameo and PD and wasn't disappointed, both games were stellar if a bit rushed. Too bad it all went downhill from there and now they make motion shovelware that would look embarassing on the shitty Wii.
I have always preferred the paid DLC, preorder bonuses and microtransactions of todays games
>>342703771
You retard piece of shit you know it was a error
Smash bros is on the wii but the game is awful.
N64 is fucking horrible and you know it is.
>>342703578
You do know that the N64's hardware was superior to the PS1 in every single way, right? The only thing the PS1 had going for it, hardware wise, were CDs, which allowed for uncompressed sound and video files.
The PS1 had a much bigger library of games, since it was much cheaper for developers to release licensed games on it than for the N64, but the first party exclusives for the N64 were enough to justify getting it.
Honestly, both consoles had amazing games and owning the two was the only real answer.
>>342703776
PS1 was good until I saw videos of the dreamcast and I couldn't play any PS1 polygon game anymore
PS1 was good, way better than the N64 despite the fact the build quality of PS1 being horrible like all sony products.
I owned 3 PS1 in less than 5 years.
>>342703383
>fog and inferior graphics to saturn
u wot m8
N64 was like almost a full generation ahead of PS1 and Saturn
>>342703874
>You do know that the N64's hardware was superior to the PS1 in every single way, right?
Still every N64 game looks awful and has so many fog that I laugh while playing
I'd rather play Tony Hawk 2 on the PS1 with lower graphics than the 10fps with 30 second soundtrack on the N64
>>342703938
Still very few games had good graphics, most of them relying on the retarded 4mb expansion pak that you had to buy but dropping the frame rate to the point of destroying the game
>>342703663
Your post could be reused almost word by word for the PS1.
Most PS1 gems got rereleased on other consoles or are available on the PS store.
The PS1 had memory cards too. The PS1 had "optional" periferics like rumble and analog sticks released after launch too.
>>342703938
Rare were software wizards, the N64 was notoriously a bitch to develop for. Conker not only had the biggest size N64 cart (was it like 64mb when the average was 8Mb?), it also required the expansion pack.
>>342703970
>Still every N64 game looks awful and has so many fog
PS1 games have much worse fogging than N64
The problem is that most PS1 games don't even do fog, they just do straight out pop-in which is worse. Fog is actually more hardware intensive than pop-in since you have to do alpha transparencies.
>>342703938
Rareware magic doesn't count m8
>>342704103
>The PS1 had memory cards too. The PS1 had "optional" periferics like rumble and analog sticks released after launch too.
Yes, I'm not a fan of PS1
Don't try to play the "mine is bad but yours is bad as well" because it won't work
I just don't hate the PS1 too much because I could pirate and enjoy some 2D action games that lacked on N64
P.S: The memory card on PS1 could handle dozens of games while on the N64 a single game could fill up your entire card
>>342704147
>Conker
Conker doesn't require the expansion pak, the one that does is Donkey Kong.
>>342703970
>Still every N64 game looks awful and has so many fog that I laugh while playing
Nigga how old are you
PS1 games had the absolute worst draw distance ever, fog was as much of a problem on PS1 games as it was for the N64
And don't even get me started on those dancing textures
>>342704321
I'm not saying the PS1 was better you autistic piece of garbage

What are you comparing it to, then, you fucking ape?
You can't just claim EVERYTHING WAS SHIT if you don't have a point of reference, you absolute fucking dickhole.
What is interesting is that when Dreamcast was released, N64 and PS1 looked liked a fucking 8bit console
N64 was so underpowered by 1996 standards that Nintendo didn't bankrupt because Rare and Zelda.
>>342696135
playing my PS1 and my saturn, superior consoles.
>>342704421
Mario Kart 64 will fill up your card because ghost track data.
you just proved that you never played N64
Also Excitebike 64 would ghost records and fill almost 100 pages of the memory pak

The N64 was the most powerful console ever commercially released in 96, retard. The Dreamcast came out in 99, and by then it was too late to be relevant, and got destroyed by the PS2 a couple years later.

What are you trying to say?
>>342704653
>>342704681
>The N64 was the most powerful console ever commercially released in 96, retard
Because it was the only one both PS1 and saturn released 2 years before and better 2D games than N64

Was Jeff right, /v/?
>>342704603
Nobody I knew had/used those retarded memory packs.
>>342704603
That's not game progress you retard, that's side data. That took huge chunks of memory card space on the PS1 too, like saving songs and pictures from games. Like two pictures you took in MGs could fill up your entire memory cars, while pokemon snap was an entire game based around.
>>342704653

>PS1 could handle dozens of games while on the N64 a single game could fill up your entire card
Diablo filled a whole PS1 memory card.
>>342704749
At the time the N64 was released it was better than PCs at 3D.
The 3dfx Voodoo wasn't out yet 20 years ago today. You couldn't even buy one until 1997.
>>342704251
Holy fuck, I assumed it required it since I had it on my N64 and I could not imagine it not needing it due to the sheer amount of GRAFIX the game had.
Rare were fucking wizards, holy shit.

That was when Quake in SOFTWARE MODE was released.
It takes a lot of shortcuts in its 3D rendering.
>>342705264
Are you implying avarage gaming PCs in 96 were better than the N64 because they ran Quake?
I mean, you couldn't possibly be sugesting that, could you?
I'm gonna replay Quest 64, sounds like fun.

>>342705551
Objectively yes, but if you were a kid at the time the N64 was still a better choice. I would not have been able to enjoy games like Vagrant Story or Soul Reaver back when I was 8.

Ran like garbage unless you had a 3dfx Voodoo, which alone cost more than the whole N64.
>>342705551
This
N64 had some very great games but outside those maybe 20 titles it was a wasteland.
On playstation you had shitloads of games and more importantly you had games in all genres imaginable. Something the N64 lacked.
>>342705773
The price of N64 cartridges was 60 dollars and you had to constantly buy controllers because cheap nintendo quality
So in the end ....
>>342705143
>emulator
N64 textures on real hardware always looked pretty bad due to the weird filter and DoF the N64 used. I actually prefer that outdated blurry look to the emulator look for N64 games. Too bad my N64 doesn't work anymore and I'm too lazy to buy another one.
>>342705927
>and you had to constantly buy controllers because cheap nintendo quality

>>342706058
You mean my 18 year old (jesus christ) controller in perfect working order that's resting by the couch?
>>342705927
Well for a PC you have to buy a decent gaming CPU which were expensive as fuck back then, because games were 100% CPU bottlenecked due to graphic cards not supporting hardware T&L. Don't forget a motherboard.
Then you had to buy RAM which at that time was also super fucking expensive, hundreds of dollars for minuscule amounts.
After that you had to buy your 3dfx Voodoo card, which BY THE WAY didn't even support 2D so you had to buy a decent 2D card like a Matrox if you wanted high resolution that didn't blur to shit.
Then your sound card cause motherboards didn't come with them built in, etc.
Oh and you had to buy Windows cause internet was too slow and expensive to download it, and CD-burners cost a fortune.
Congratulations, you've just spent a fortune on a 1997 gaming PC that will become obsolete by the end of 1998.

Seriously, I've raped my controller hard playing Melee for years and those analogs are still as tight as a nun's cunt.
So, what were the good games for this outside of Rareware games and Nintendo games?
Sin and Punishment was really good.
>Why were the N64 analog sticks so inferior to those that came after?
The N64 analog stick is extremely unusual. It does not use potentiometers, as most other platforms (i.e. playstation controller), but instead used a geared-up digital incremental rotary encoders.

>>342710502
It's a screenshot from the Wii version, but the Wii U version is that dark too. Your TV is probably just turned really bright, but that doesn't fix the palette or the blurry ass washed out UI.
There is no filter, these screenshots were taken with the same captures card and settings.
>>342710884
Also the Wii U version has massive input lag, and no notches in the joystick gate.
Also the Gamecube controls for the original Wii VC suck ass, with massive deadzone, no range and over sensitivity.
N64 emulation sucks dick, official or not.
>>342710884
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I have the tv set to where I'm comfortable with it for most games and having played the shit out of Mario as a child the Wii U version looks perfect to me. But that could just as easily be me as it could be you so, idk. Maybe I'll try setting my elgato to it and check.
>>342711010
