Finally being a Nintendo fan pays off!
Excuse me while I freshen up my boxed copies of Paper Mario, Harvest Moon, etc.
>>333226193
harvest moon 64 actually goes for 100+
>>333225734
Who cares? Why get the physical copies? Just emulate that shit, you don't even need a good computer to run them.
>>333226090
No, Nintendo actually underproduces copies of games to sell more.
Games like Zelda, Mario, etc though, it is nostalgia.
Also game collectors are all jews.
>>333225734
Good thing there are less n64 games worth playing then ps1 games.
I say this as someone who grew up with a n64.
There's a used media store I go to sometimes just to look usually. Their prices are so inflated, no one ever seems to buy the games. There are games I've noticed that have been there for years. The amount of games just keeps growing. At what point is it not a game store anymore but merely someone's public game collection?
Because n64 emulation isn't as good as PS1.
Pretty much every relevant PS1 game can be emulated with ePSXe, while Project64 is pretty shaky on anything besides the biggest of the big titles.
>>333226246
>N64 emulation
>>333225734
Shitty emulation, some games are still only playable with carts
>>333227124
bingo bango bongo im so happy in the jungle i refuse 2 go
>>333227350
id buy this if there were more than 3 games i want to play on the n64
>>333227535
I hope you mean "3 games that I dont already own"
>>333226893
The point where they start playing them and stop trying to sell them.
>>333225734
Cartridges were more expensive back in the day and are rarer, so supply and demand. The average for N64 games is also higher because it had a rather small library with a high percentage of hits, while the Playstation had an enormous library that includes plentiful shovelware.
What really perplexes me is why Gamecube games are so fucking expensive. It's cool having my copies of Skies of Arcadia and Twin Snakes become collectors items, but it also sucks for a lot of people unless Dolphin really ups its accuracy game.
>>333227590
N64 Library has like, 20 games worth playing, tops.
I say this as an Everdrive64 owner with massive amounts of buyer's remorse. I mean I love the thing, but all the titles I wanted to play I already owned, it's completely unlike getting a SNES pr NES flashcart, there's so little worth playing that if you've played the games that everyone talks about for the system, you've literally played everything worth even trying.
What am I going to play next? South Park? Castlevania 64? Fucking Glover?
>>333227627
I'd argue that they're so expensive that they're not trying to sell them.
>>333227919
holy shit that wasn't the image I posted, i thought that was supposed to be this
N64 Emulation is shit.
>>333225845
Nah, not even.
CD's are cheap and easily reproduced.
Carts are not. Lots of plastic and chips you work through.

>>333227703
gamecube prices don't matter too much unless you're a collectorfag, since wii homebrew will load GC games from usb or disc and the component cables aren't $250.
>>333227919
>20
I guess that's a more agreeable number. I know your question is rhetorical, but maybe try shadowgate 64.
>>333227124
I recall getting Goldeneye running reasonably well out-of-the-box on one, but finding a good keybind was a fucking nightmare. It was out of curiosity, though, were I serious I would've bought a USB N64 controller.
Will N64 emulation ever reach cycle-accuracy, or is that full NOPE programming past the SNES?
>>333227703
>Dolphin
The creators of it coded in spyware. Do you want the FBI to be knocking on your door?
>>333228083
>Castlevania 64
>not complete dog shit
>a game so bad they remade it on the same platform with not shit controls so people could actually play the fucking game
I'm not even going further on Glover, we're going to have to agree to disagree on that one.
>>333228127
Tried it, not a fan. Interesting game, but not my thing.
>>333228229
It's not an impossible problem, but it is very difficult, and there is a serious lack of incentive to work to create something like that. The PJ64 devs tried to monitize their software, and that backlashed on them.
>>333228127
I'm probably remembering things wrong, but doesn't the Wii use the same component output the Gamecube uses?
>>333228419
They "remade" it by actually finishing it after selling an unfinished rush job to make a profit on it due to how long it took to make, another great jew scheme by Konami. I still like the game though (even if it is so unfinished it even has game crashing bugs you can encounter just by playing it normally)
>>333228626
No. The gamecube's component port in the back is a digital out, which means the cable itself has the circuit to perform the conversion to analog signal, and it's rare and expensive. It was only sold on nintendo's store while gamecube was still their flagship. go ahead and look it up on ebay.
You are probably thinking of the gamecube's analog output, separate port on the back, which is for composite and s-video. This was the same as the ports on N64 and SNES both.
>>333228552
Any /g/ guys here able to explain what's up with N64 architecture anyway? All I know is it's MIPS, and that isn't exactly some insurmountable challenge.
I presume N64 documentation is locked in a vault somewhere?
>>333225734
I've been preparing for this day for years
I have already have all the games I wanted, over 80+
All the games I buy now are multiplats that I'd prefer owning on N64 and are cheap as shit.
>>333227919
Ogre battle 64 is top tier.
TOP.
TIER.
>>333225734
>tfw I already have Paper Mario, Smash 64, Mario 64, Zelda, and Conker's from before the price hike so I can save my money and play them without .having to deal with shit emulation.
>>333229062
It's mostly laziness. Iirc the Ps3 is mips too and it's emulated better somehow.
There's a ton of sub $20 games worth playing. Only marios and shit like that get pricy.
>go to my friendly local independent used games shop

Ive never been in one of these stores that I liked. It's like they want you to just use ebay.
>>333229725

>>333229872
The wrasslin games are God tier
>>333229872
those stores have been cleaned out years ago.
you only see this sports shit because nobody would ever buy it and the store owner fucked up by even accepting them.
>>333230051
F-Zero is better
>>333230203
I know. Saw this reply a mile away. But that doesn't mean wipeout isn't good.
>>333229872
Older wrestling games are great m8.
Used to play em' with my dad.
>>333230293
I'm just saying
>>333230293
You got the image of all the best wipeout games?
>>333227350
You can get the vast majority of good N64 games for the same price as this thing. If you got all of them (besides maybe CBFD) you'd be paying a little more and have the real thing, which you can resell later if you need the cash.
>>333225734
N64 is at that curve where people nostalgic for it have credit cards.
demand is higher, thus profit for sellers.
Also, there were more PS1 games in circulation due to greatest hits releases,so unless it's sealed new and/or not greatest hits, they are not going to be too expensive.
>>333225840
>nintendos carts screw everyone over 20 years later
Were there any good 2D games for N64? Other than pic related.
>>333229542
How much did you pay for each? I remember paying $25 for PM in 2012.
>>333230828
None that are aren't old school arcade collections. There's also Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
>>333230734
OP here, when I looked is saw black label games going for 30-50 CIB with green going for 10-20
Adjust for inflation, and the majority of those games are reasonably priced. Remember when some carts were sold for $100 on release?
>>333230708
>You can get the vast majority of good N64 games for the same price as this thing.
No, that's simply not true, unless you have a very strict idea of what counts as good. Everdrive is $100. Maybe if you skimp and import JP versions of stuff, I guess, but even just the top 10 or so nintendo published games hover around $20-30 apiece. That budgets you for 5 games. Plus, the point is that you get to play the whole library and not limit yourself to just the nintendo games, since this was when there was still 3rd party support.
Look at sales figures for both consoles. Now apply supply and demand.
>>333230928
Paper Mario was a gift, Smash was $15, Mario was a gift, Zelda MM was free, OoT and conker were $20 each I think. I got most of these as a kid and just never sold them. Except Mario Party, I sold that for peanuts compared to how much people are paying for it now.
>>333229881
PPSSPP is very high level emulation. You can't do that with the N64 and get good results.
>>333229062
>I presume N64 documentation is locked in a vault somewhere?
Kek, no. The full verilog source of the RCP and source to a bunch other stuff has been circulating in the N64 emudev circle since the '90s. It's their dirty little secret.
ps1 had more sales, more game sales and the games were cheaper.
>bkub OP
>doesn't turn into a bkub thread
Biggest disappointment I've had all week.
>>333231850
So it's not publicly available, you have to be in the secret club to access it? Is this something that was leaked, or discovered by reverse engineering?
>>333232284
It was made public on 4chan like two years ago.
https://mega.nz/#!sF0DTZgZ!O84kgVxn8dOF3M_J4znjMrQlPqCRmYV6XAI2M-L1puc

thanks dude
Wish I had kept my N64 when I was younger. I had a shitload of games, including both collectors edition Zeldas. My parents made me sell it off before I could get a Gamecube. I think I only got like $120 for everything.
That shit's too expensive to get back into nowadays.
>Retro games are expensive now
>that feel when bought into the "trade in your consoles and games when they get old" meme when I was little

Worst decision of my life, the second worst being selling my PS2 games for Final fantasy 13.
>>333234257
I bought into the same meme. Thankfully it was only with the genesis and those games are still worth nothing.
>>333226193
>>333226230
Funny tidbit, Harvest Moon 64 is the only game in my collection that has all the logos on the box "upside down" when placed next to other N64 games.
Neat to hear that it's worth that much, though I'm not surprised. It's also my favorite Harvest Moon game. Playing Hero of Leaf Valley on my Vita now actually.
Has anyone else seen this thread around five times or something in the past couple days, or am I just crazy?
>>333235080
I bought into the meme all the way up to the GCN/PS2
I had so many now-hard to find N64 and GameCube games, why the fuck was I such an idiot
Eventually the market will burst and we can all go back to buying Earthbound for 20 bucks loose.
>>333225927
Spending over 80 on a single game doesn't make you rich, it makes you retarded

We've been saying that for 4 years now.

>>333236785
Yeah, but the thing is, with digital releases, flashcarts and emulation just being so common that even normalfags are getting in on it, itll eventually just pop. Fuck even the scumbags at gamestop are trying to make a quick buck before it goes.
It's not like collecting transformers, he man figures, or antiques where there is only one way to have it, and thats to shell out the money, anyone who wants to play earthbound, or panzer dragoon, or little samson, easily can.
>>333237140
actually I'm planning on outliving the neckbeards who scalp rare games, and then picking up their precious games from their ignorant grandkids at garage sales.
