Is it just me or did n64 games not age well at all? I got a everdrive 64 recently and most of them are just terrible games.
Haven't you got the memo? Every game has aged bad. Doesn't matter if it's Symphony of the Night on PS1, Goemon's Great Adventure on N64 or Guardian Heroes on Saturn. They ALL aged BADLY! Like MILK!! XD
I'm from Australia btwn
Pretty much that, N64 is a meme.
>I bought an everdrive
>I just realized I don't really like this console
Ok, but I'm still confused as to why you feel the need to tell everyone about your fuckup.

>another 'did it age well?' thread
>>2938267
how was I supposed to know n64's library was total dogshit?
>>2938253
Is it just me or are there the same threads about "not good aging" on the /vr/?
>>2938273
How are we suppose to know that you're a retard that buys a flashcart before actually knowing whats good? There's this thing called emulation you could of tried before buying stuff.
>>2938280
lol n64 emulation is pure shit
>>2938280
You're replying to bait anyway, I don't think OP actually got any everdrive, he just wanted to start another "aged" thread.
Also most people that shit on the N64 are poor kids that can't afford either a system or an everdrive, or games, since N64 emulation sucks.
>>2938280
Stop trying so hard. Just stop please. You just sound like you're mad that someone else has money to spend
>>2938281
only sucks if you're an autist.
>>2938253
>most of them are just terrible games
Then play the not terrible ones.
>>2938283
lol people think an everdrive is expensive considering it can play the entire n64 library?
>>2938291
post a time stamped pic of your everdrive then.
Until then I'll just think you're a poor kid who wanted to start another "age" thread on /vr/
>>2938281
It's much better these days. The only game that is still a problem is donkey Kong 64, even notorious games like banjo tooie with the random freezing isn't a problem anymore.
>>2938294
suite yourself
>>2938302
As expected. Enjoy being poor and playing shitty emulators.
>>2938297
You can play the underwater segments on Goemon's Great Adventure now?
>>2938253
It's just you. N64 was always shit.

OP is obviously a Nintendo hater, you need to give him non-Nintendo games like Goemon, Mischief Makers, Bomberman 64, Ogre Battle.... but wait, there's no point, OP doesn't even own a N64 or an everdrive, he'll just try to emulate them on his toaster, experience a glitch fest, and continue to be frustrated and keep calling the N64 shit.
>>2938320
Not a single one is third party, all first or second party. How did Nintendo lose the third party support they had during the NES and SNES era?
>>2938332
>How did Nintendo lose the third party support they had during the NES and SNES era?
By being dicks towards those third parties in those respective eras.
>>2938320
So fucking what?

I mean goddamn, how retarded can you be?
>>2938337
Did you know that Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't actually a human bean, but in reality his body was a vessel that enclosed 7 onis that were sealed across 7 different temples across Japan? Miyamoto released the seal when he was a kid, and the 7 Oni of Tyranic Monopoly started reigning supreme across the video game industry.
Thank for our saviors EA and Activision, 2 warrios from the west that fought the evil 7-heade doni, could seal it off again, with the help of another warrior from europe, Ubisoft.
Now we live on a happier era, the era of 3rd parties, with Activision, EA and Ubisoft on the lead, and the evil 7-headed oni Tyranotendo Rex sealed away. But we must be cautious, we never know when the seal could be broken again!
>>2938325
I don't give a shit about Rare/Nintendo but at least there's like 10 games i should like to play on a N64.
Not many more though.
>>2938337
And continuing to use expensive cartridges, as opposed to cheaper, better CD's.
>>2938253
no JRPGs, shooters or shmups. Worst multiplat ports and only the same kiddy first party titles. Yeah that console sucked
This is my personal 10/10
The football game for people who don't care about football
>>2938253
Well, statistically speaking, yes. There weren't a lot of N64 games and most of them were naff, but the same holds true of the PSX -- just at a greater scale.
Enjoy the good games for what they are and know that you're experiencing the real thing -- emulation is far from good enough yet.
Oh, and Blast Corps.
>>2938358
>shooters
it has at least 2 of the best from 5th gen: Starfox 64 and Sin and Punishment.
Anyway I'd disregard your post because of your "kiddy" implication, as if video games need to be "mature" in order to be good. N64 has Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, which I personally don't care, I'd much rather play the "Kiddy" Kirby's Crystal Shards or Harvest Moon 64, for example.
Also I hope you don't like "kiddy" games on PS1, like Crash or Klonoa, or "kiddy" games on Saturn, like Nights or Saturn Bomberman.
They wouldn't suit such a mature gamer such as yourself.
>>2938358
>no shooters
>what is GoldenEye 007
>what is doom 64
>what is quake 1 and 2
>what is perfect dark
And those are just off the top of my head.
>>2938375
sorry but nights is mature as fuck
>>2938349
Explain the CD-i, the 3DO, and the Saturn outside of Japan then, because media usage was only a small portion of why most third-parties stayed off the N64; having more to do with sour relations with third-parties dating far back (as I mentioned above), the policies enforced, and the complexity of the dev kits.
>>2938365
There were a lot of great Midway games on N64
>>2938383
>Complexity of dev kits
This also plays into my cartridge point.
I mean, looking back Nintendo really shot themselves in the foot with such limited game memory limits in the name of anti-piracy. No loading times were a major plus but...goddamn at what cost?
>>2938404
>This also plays into my cartridge point.
How does the difficulty curve of programming for a system mostly relate to its storage media however? If that was the case, then the Saturn and (for a non-/vr/ example) the PS2 would've been easy to make games for.
>>2938426
Being constrained to 16 to 32MB when the other guys could handle 650MB is a hell of a constraint.
Only two N64 cartridges were 64MB and they were apparently a bitch to manufacture.
>>2938431
*three, I forgot the Resident Evil 2 port (that they had to cut all the cinematics from)
>>2938436
That game had fmv
>>2938436
>I forgot the Resident Evil 2 port (that they had to cut all the cinematics from)
What? The FMVs are retained in that port, of course they (and the audio associated with them) had to be compressed.
>>2938449
Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub-Zero. It was a shit game anyway.
>>2938262
I'm vegan.
>>2938431
>Being constrained to 16 to 32MB when the other guys could handle 650MB is a hell of a constraint.
Isn't storage capacity and systems being very tedious to program for almost two different problems though? While the former may have had some effect, the latter definitely crippled developers more.
It didn't help that Nintendo was forcing them to utilize the default microcode, which wasn't that great in execution, and only allowed them to use their own near the end of the system's life.
Not OP
Give me all the awesome games baka.
>>2938486
Get Bangai-O, even if you already played the Dreamcast version.
You'll thank me later.
As a pretty big Nintendo fan (up until the Wii U at least) I honestly think every truly worthwhile and not awfully aged N64 game was on the Wii's Virtual Console, and most of those have had proper remakes at this point. N64/DS for SM64 is debatable as to which is better but the 3DS Zeldas are straight improvements if you're not playing for nostalgia.
>>2938503
>Majora's Mask 3DS
What kinda boss fights you want senpai
>>2938503
Mischief Makers and the Goemon games aren't on the VC.
There's many many others that still aren't on the VC, only the popular 1st party titles for VC released or remakes.
>>2938507
I honestly liked the changes, some of the bosses were really obtuse on the original, I'm pretty sure I had to resort to wallthroughs once. Had I not played that first I'm sure the additions would have been very helpful.
>>2938513
>only the popular 1st party titles
I think that's the point. Personally I don't even know what the hell Mischief Makers is.
>>2938518
>Personally I don't even know what the hell Mischief Makers is.
I thought at this point everyone knew about it, but I guess not.
It was the first game Treasure did for a N64, a fun 2D sidescroller, definitely must play for anyone who owns the system, or likes Treasure games, by the same director of Gunstar Heroes and Guardian Heroes.
>>2938530
>by the same director of Gunstar Heroes and Guardian Heroes.
He didn't do GH. Did you mean Alien Soldier?
>>2938283
Agreed
Op cant afford a N64 with RGB mod hooked to a Sony BVM Professional Monitor and Surround System that accept Dolby Pro Logic II
Mario 64 Shindou Edition with Rumble Pack attached never felt so good.
>>2938538
and by GH I mean Guardian, he did make Gunstar though
>>2938538
you're right, I was thinking of Mitsuru Yaida who made Bangai-O.
Mischief Makers was by Suganami who did Alien Soldier and Sin and Punishment.
>>2938281
About 80% of the N64's library is playable nowadays.
From the top of my head the only ones I had problems with were CBF, Mischief Makers, DK64 & Body Harvest.
Why do you guys keep saying Mischief Makers is impossible to emulate? I beat it in Project64 a few years ago.
>>2938343

Actually seems like the plot to a shitty genesis platformer with lukewarm music
>>2938253
>Is it just me
No. About 75% of /vr/ are underage faggots who parrot this maymay on a regular basis.
>>2938507
They had to fuck up an excelent remake with something.
>>2938253
N64 had some great games mixed in with a sea of shit.
This wasn't an issue of whether the games aged badly or not. A shitload of N64 games just weren't very good to begin with.
But for every ten Earthworm Jim 3Ds there was a Banjo-Kazooie that made up for them.
>>2938573
>genesis
>lukewarm music
Come on, it's the console's biggest saving grace.
>>2938554
I couldn't play Mystical Ninja for a good while before they finally made it work.
>>2938253
Alot of them weren't even good when they came out. The $200 I spent on that shit was some of the most wasted money I have ever spent on gaming. And I have made some terrible gaming purchases as well. OG Xbox, Dreamcast, a Saturn.
>>2939012
>Dreamcast, a Saturn
>terrible gaming purchases
>>2938950
The fire and moths were removed from the Oldawa fight
Goht now gets knocked down instantly every time the Goron roll touches him
Gyra... whatever the fish guy was now only fights on the surface of the water so you don't have to dive after him
Twinmold now gives you the Giant's Mask during the battle after you shoot him with a few arrows, then Giant Link finishes him off in a QTE
Every boss now has a big Majora eye on their back that causes them to take even more damage if you shoot it
Also the Song of Double Time now allows you to specify exactly what hour you want to travel to, you are automatically given the Stone Mask at the very start of the pirate maze and for some reason there's an optional Business Scrub hole that lets you skip the entire Deku King Palace maze
>>2938281

I googled for other shot I didn't notice/remember, these are all minor nitpicks but on the other hand COME ON
>there are now special "shoot an ice arrow here" spots in the water temple, you now can't make ice platforms anywhere else
>the Deku butler race has spike obstacles instead of fire ones so you don't instantly have to restart if you hit one
>Anju and Kafei's room now opens three hours earlier on the final night
>playtesting babies must have really fucking hated the Deku King maze because now guards return you to a checkpoint within the maze instead of the start and platforms no longer move until after you land on them
>>2939069
>Anju and Kafei's room now opens three hours earlier on the final night
The staff room was always open on the final night
>>2939047
Fuck me, is that really all it had? I had panzer, jsrf, black, doa3, crimson skies, unreal, gotham, and kingdom under fire. My panzer disc never worked, and I played rally, forza, phantom dust, steel battallion, and phantom crash at friends houses. Never played breakdown or metal wolf chaos or whatever is up in the top right corner. Most of these were aight games with black and steel battalion probably being the ones I liked best of the bunch, but nothing I would really recommend nowadays.
>>2939076
Pointless to a mustard racer now but there were also some bitchin PC+Xbox only games like Halo 1 and 2, Doom 3, Half Life 2, Morrowind and KOTOR
>>2939089
You know Halo 1 was pretty good I will give you that, Never liked Doom 3 much as it really let me down from Doom 1 and 2. Even 64 was better than 3 I would say. Morrowind was good with mods. KOTOR was never good. HL2 is a good game, but it makes me sad that it got rid of all the interesting monster enemies from 1 and only replaced them with humans mostly.
>>2939096
>KOTOR was never good
I'm doing this now >>2939021
KOTOR is like a piece of the PC Canon.
>>2939076
There was also Riddick, Stranger's Wrath, Far Cry: Instincts, OutRun 2 (original, not Coast 2 Coast), DoA Ultimate, Shenmue II
>>2938262
>Goemon's Great Adventure
>I'm from Australia
Doesn't add up.
>>2939124
I played the original Far Cry on PC, was Instincts just a console version? I have heard Riddick is good, but haven't played it. I don't mean to just shoot all your games down man, but in my opinion the only consoles with really worthwhile libraries were the SNES, the GBA, and the PS2.
>>2939137
I say the only truly great libraries are the Mega Drive, Saturn, and NES. Snes was lacking and many of the games ran poorly, GBA was just for rehashes and ports, and the PS2 had too many story games and not enough arcade style games.
>>2939137
Instincts was a remake of the original, probably because Xbox couldn't do the PC maps justice.
>>2939137
Butcher Bay and Goldeneye are the two absurd "how the fuck was a movie cash in game this good" titles
>>2939047
Have honestly been wishing that my xbox hadn't been lost some years ago, had a ton of great games.
