10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do

[@shammaboy]

When I was a kid my parents couldn't afford to get me a Nintendo 64 for Christmas, and miraculously my mother won one from Taco Bell. They had a promotion running called "score 64 and win". My mom was really depressed at how me and my brother only asked for the one shared gift, and we couldn't afford it, she had a dream that night in which she saw my dead grandfather on the beach and he told her everything was gonna be okay. The next day she stopped at taco bell drive through for a soda after work (something she'd never done before), and peeled off the label on the cup and found out that we won. On Christmas day after me and my brother opened all our gifts, we tried to not let the disappointment on our faces show because we knew the situation, and while we hadn't gotten what we hoped for, we didn't want it to show. My parents then had us open this one last gift. Me and my bro unwrapped a plastic taco bell cup, (the 64 hadn't arrived in the mail yet) and were confused until they said "read it", we did, and we lost our minds with happiness. You always see those contests, and you think nobody ever wins, but they do. Till this day, I still can't believe it happened, and made it the most memorable Christmas of my life. God is good.

Let me save your time and summarise the video: 10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do: 1. A company made a third party device that lets you connect N64 controllers to your PC. 2. The game Pokémon Stadium comes with a device that lets you play Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow though an N64. 3. A company made a third party controller in a glove style. 4. Nintendo released an Expansion Pak for the N64. It is required for some games, and improves performance on some others. 5. Nintendo released an N64 add on in Japan that would allow it to connect to the internet. 6. A company made a third party device that lets you play NES and SNES games on an N64. 7. Nintendo had a deal to put N64s in some hotels. 8. That add on in number 5 came with a mouse and keyboard. 9. A company made a third party device to let you play foreign region locked games on an N64. 10. A company made a third party device that could download cheat codes from the internet for your N64. So, that's 0/10 that my N64 can do without buying other products...

Since we got blueballed on shit the N64 can *actually* do, here's one: If you disassemble your N64, there is a grey plastic housing for the bottom of your cartridges. With some snips, cut the corners out of it carefully. Your console can now play Japanese region games flawlessly. They are significantly cheaper than American copies, and a lot of the games you care about are very playable with zero Japanese.

i fail to realize how a n64 in a hotel room is something cool MY n64 could do

[@point-five-oh6249]

I fail to realize why anyone would want to pay those outrageous rental prices just to save a backpack worth of stuff. I mean the N64 was sorta big, but it was not as thick as the Xbox (iir correctly) and the controllers could be stacked in a manner where they kinda scissored themselves and all of it combined only use up like the bottom half of a school backpack, where you can then throw clothes and toiletries on top... literally a large sized school backpack could carry all the essentials you need. You are a snob if you are just going to Disneyland or whatever tourist site for a week and can't be bothered to bring your N64 but be fine to pay $40 a day to play a video game. I remember being 15 when those things came to the televisions in Hotels, and I was glad I didn't have to be interrupted playing Majora's Mask every hour or so because I just decided to not be a lazy snob.

[@abraham3673]

RazorEdge oh wow, bringing home consoles around during travels... That reminds me of bringing my gamecube to a family's place far away and playing a lot of Metroid Prime and SSBM. I'm getting nostalgic noa lol

[@hailervin]

Actually that was how I first got into video games when I was 5 year s old they offered the SNES to play in hotel rooms and my parents actually let me play it on vacations, although only for an hour since the rental rates were expensive. However I fell in love with Super Mario World and it was the first video game I ever played.

Nobody I grew up with ever deemed it worth the money. I remember getting excited the first time I saw one in a hotel room, and then I thought it was bullshit that you had to pay for it. If it was only like 10 bucks a night I would have pushed for it, but the price was just stupid (and would have preferred multiplayer Goldeneye or something).

The leap from 8bit to 16, to 32 and 64 was so severe and breathtaking. I feel now we've reached a point where it all looks the same, just with better lighting

[@WardenOfTerra]

The N64 was far too slow, and without the RAM expansion, it was horrible. Most of the N64 games were also actually 16MB and 32MB of storage, with only a couple of games actually using 64MB of storage due to the production cost of the 64MB cartridges. The N64 was completely out-classed by the PlayStation due to CD-R's. Technology won.

[@MelodicTurtleMetal]

@@WardenOfTerra you're remembering things wrong. The N64 had every advantage possible over the PlayStation at the time, with the exception of storage. The CD was good, but some of those games took minutes to load and usually the only downside to the n64 variant was less music. On the flip side the n64 was barely higher resolution and better frame rates for games on both consoles, and the 3d effect was top notch, not that glitchy mess the PlayStation had. It was a genuine powerhouse compared to the PlayStation

[@jeffo83]

choppy loading blocky graphics and unnecessary cut scenes as fillers I think the n64 was far classier smoother experience I just think it was in a rush to get the competition without realising the hardwares full potential but I agree that memory was an issue that Nintendo should of addressed early on

I remember reading this in my N64 gaming mag. I dont think they could get it to work in the end, but just think how awesome that would have been.

PSA: The memory pack upgrade was not a graphics processor, but simply more RAM for the system. The original advertisement made it out to be a device that made graphics look better, but in actuality, the N64 was (at stock) capable of producing finer graphics. The issue was that a cartridge could include "high res textures" and "more detailed polygon models", but had nowhere to dump these high res files because they wouldn't fit in the stock RAM until you included the RAM upgrade... THEN the cartridge could dump the high res files onto the RAM and thus play a game that looks better. Some games included both the low res files and high res files and you simply enabled it in the game's options.

Z is L2, C buttons are the 4 buttons on the other side, B is L2 and A is y+ (y+ is up) on the second joystick. depending on the game I would recommend setting L2 as the more commonly used button and flicking the right joystick up as the least used.

I remember thinking to myself to forget about any gems like Banjo-Kazooie or Mariokart, those are too sought after and expensive to be found easily and at as low a price as the rest, if the Gamestop employees themselves didn't take them home to flip for a profit over eBay.

I remember the N64 at hotels back in the day!!! It was SO awesome! Man, oh man...how I miss those better days.

[@TheRealDyscyples]

I do remember that

[@melaninking199]

There was one in Tennessee I remember seeing in a hotel room our family was staying in

[@MoonlightMirage]

10. WOAH I didn't know there was a N64 logo on the console itself! Nice thumbnail XD

[@Alistair-gi3bx]

That "futuristic clear controller" is called atomic purple thank you very much. Also you don't need a cartridge to read Japanese games just switch out the Japanese back to an American one and the region lock tabs don't stop you. I've even seen devoted people cut those tabs out of the system for seamless transitions from region games. I own animal forest and it has a rugrats backing on it, works great.

[@BLOODY__FATALITY]

I love how this is supposed to be a list of things your N64 can do and yet the first thing they show is a N64 controller adapter for your *pc.*

[@DJKoollord]

I can't believe all these info, when I had my classic consoles, I never thought all these features were possible.

[@elvirahancock7644]

Why does Mario Kart and Goldeneye look so much better in this video than it does in real life???🤔🤨

[@harqalada65]

I do remember seeing an N64 in a hotel that me & my family stayed at one time on vacation. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing even though I owned one WAY before that & had more games than it offered lol

[@eletricaloutlet6402]

WHAT!? THE NINTENDO 64 HAS A LOGO ON IT I NEVER KNEW THAT MY LIFE IS A LIE

[@CoolDudeClem]

Using a dual stick controller works well for N64 games, just map the right stick to the C buttons, and set up everything else how you'd normally have a controller set up and you're done. Well, that's how I do it anyway.

[@Bonetrousle]

woah look at the N64 label the arrow is pointing too!! it’s so cool and epic 😎

[@michaelcole7745]

Revolutionary in gaming. Nintendo never stops amazing. Something I can remember about the N64 was just one game called conkers bad fer day. The platform game aslo had a multi player shooter game where you can battle the computer. This is common even for that time, but this was the first game and only game I ever found to have a type of AI built in. Yes, it is true. I bought 2 games to prove it. On the multiplayer mode you can set your opponents to Einstein and this made them learn how you played and mimic it or change to an aggressive play style depending on how you played. You could literally teach the game how you want to do battle and build off of it. If you start using a secret path to grab the bazooka, the computer will start to copy you. If you sit up in the crows nest waiting for the computer to use this secret path and only aim in that area, the computer will copy that, and come kill you first. It may work the first few times you do this, but if you never did the secret path in the first place, the computer will not learn how to get the bazooka. This is the only game I found that has an AI like this, and this game is on the N64. Later was brought to the xbox, but I don't know if it has the AI or not.

Perfect Dark and Goldeneye had similar bots. But sorry to burst your bubble they aren't learning from you. They are just programmed to be super hard. In Perfect Dark the Perfect sims can see you through wall and have a wide area radar effect. It makes it seem like they are anticipating you but really they are just killing you in some way possible. Truly adaptive A.I (although boasted since the NES by some games) didn't really exist until the era of Xbox and Ps2.

[@Jason75913]

oh wow, but Fivetriplezero's post sounds much more plausible

[@justinbarrett1424]

I certainly miss the days of simple gaming. That's how I was trained in the early 90's.

[@jasonhatt4295]

I didn't know I had an OLD Nintendo 64... or any Nintendo 64 for that matter. Thank you TheGamer, I have to log off now so I can go find it. Oh yeah, and can you tell me what color it is? I can't seem to remember it at all.

[@sarcasmo57]

This really take me back dude.

[@matthewbrown4549]

The n64 video captures you show are really high res. Are these taken from an emulator? Can you explain what setup you're using? I've never seen n64 look so good!

[@Jason75913]

emulators can render N64 in far greater quality, up to a point, but the low-poly count becomes more glaringly obvious look up Project64 if you haven't by now I'm used to it, having grown up with the N64 and original Xbox, but I don't expect younger generations to like the blocky models and pixellated sprites and textures.

[@goodboy02network90]

6:49 OMFG! Even though I was only two at the time, I remember seeing this at an Amerisuites in 2004! Wish I’d been older!

[@gillesletourneau8093]

In Pokémon Stadium you can play your gameboy games right away when you first start the game. Clearing the gym leaders unlocks double speed and clearing all cups unlocks triple speed.

Finally! A gaming KZbin channel who understands the mentality of gaming era you speak about, TheGamer. The stuff you talked about in your video, TheGamer, was almost nothing compared to what's available today, but Nintendo, Sony, and the defunct Sega Corporation were the biggest pioneers in video game innovations of their times. You really miss out on the importance of the older consoles looking through a modern "lens" instead of the "lens" of when those consoles were manufactured, and the state of the Internet then as well. Back then I didn't mind the Pokemon games as they weren't remotely the horrifying joke they are today. Perfect Dark was my most favorite N64 game as it wasn't PC'ed to death and completely sexualized the heroine. Joanne Dark was a great heroine. She was strong, a leader in her own right, and a warrior too. She casted off that "You know you want me!" vibe, but not in an overly sexualized manner which was good. Road Rash 64 was insanely awesome for introducing some zany weapons and reintroducing some great gameplay that hadn't been seen since Road Rash 2. I think the music was great which hadn't been heard since the original Road Rash as well. Many of the N64 games helped to define a generation of us gamers.
