Back in the day, there was nothing better than popping in your favorite cartridge and spending hours on the Nintendo 64. No matter how long you actually played the console, there were likely some hidden features you had no clue the console could do. Learn about these various tricks and consider dusting off the old thing to try them out for yourself!
If you love the Nintendo 64 controllers or emulating classic games on the computer, then you can actually use the original controller designs. A USB adapter allows two controllers to be plugged into the same USB port and can be used for a variety of games. The Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color had little interaction until a Pokemon game gave players a way to play Game Boy on a full-sized TV. The original NES power glove was a big bust, but that didn’t stop developers from creating a rare glove design for the N64. The clunky accessory wasn’t used for any exclusive game, but did provide some fun. The N64 expansion pak was essential for some games, but it also added a lot enhancements to other titles. Online gaming was not used on the standard N64, but players who got their hands on the N64DD could actually go online with various games. The N64 only plays N64 cartridges, but a third-party accessory allowed players to play both older NES and Super Nintendo games they still have laying around. Special versions of the N64 controller were actually used as television remotes. If you didn’t like the controller, the N64 also released a special mouse and keyboard package for the 64DD. A lot of countries got exclusive N64 games and you could get your hands on them thanks to a special region-free add-on. Online access and email could be obtained through a special N64 add-on known as Sharkwire. Watch to see all of these hidden things your Nintendo 64 could do!

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...

[@ImpossibleAsymptote]

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.

[@davespark10]

Steven Mann ME TOO DUDE. I used to love going to this hotel by the beach as a kid. I got to play with that cool looking controller...

[@metallitron9000]

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).

[@Canthatcrazy]

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

Ninty was working on a idea where the Gameboy pocket would use the Game Camera to take a picture of yourself, and then attach your gameboy camera to your N64, and it would load up a image of your face, and map it onto a character in Perfect Dark, so essentially you could play as yourself in Perfect Dark multiplayer. 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.

for people wondering how to set up a regular controller for your n64 emulator try this. left dpad and joystick, L and R, Start are the same. 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. This is probably as close as you're going to get with a normal controller.

lmao N64 and gamecube were never "Cutting edge" the hardware in them was simply made more acccessible than the hardware you'd need to build a beefy gaming PC back in the 90's because PC building was much more decentralized with lots of bits having specific connectors so they only worked with exclusive parts and firmware and software compatibility were still not universal, the closest you could get were 386s and 486s which were more expensive and in home adoption at the time.

The TriStar 64 didn't function as an emulator - it contained cloned copies of the innards of the NES and SNES. It was like stacking an 8 bit and 16 bit console atop your shiny new N64, which only served to provide power and controls. The TriStar 64 even had its own video output, which used a cable from the N64's own video out as a pass-through when playing N64 games on it, which would be the only time it used the N64 hardware for running game code.

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.*

Ohhh soooo nostalgic!!!! I'm only 12 but I remember excitebike 64. So many memories!!!

[@zm9996]

10. Knew that, pretty much standard for any old controller. 9. Knew that, any system around then tried it. 8. Who doesn't know about that thing? 7. Very common knowledge. 6. Any system back then tried online servers. 5. You can buy those at FYE... 4. Nintendrew taught as about this. 3. I'm pretty sure every console has a mouse and keyboard somewhere. 2. Or just take off the tabs in the cartridge slot... 1. I genuinely didn't know. I learned *one* thing. Congratulations?

This legit scared me cuz my n64 was in the back closet

I remember going to a hotel when I was younger that had a Nintendo 64 in the room and I thought it was the coolest thing

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.

[@ronsaddler993]

things you didnt know your n64 can do number 1: hook your controller up to a pc.

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

[@ImAFatNerd90]

6:43 During my senior trip to Disney World, I had an N64 in my room. It was awesome. Didn't play a single game because it cost I think $50 to use.

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

[@ShockerTopper]

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

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.

[@dangusprime]

I remember those Hotel room N64 controllers, I think a few hotels still have them to this day. I remember if you were playing a game that saved, at the end of the hour of play it would wipe the memory lmao.

[@FoxyPercival714]

Embassy Suites has this lodge net thing. I remember that. Always at an Embassy Suites I see those altered N64 controllers... I miss that part of my childhood always coming into the hotel room and asking my mother if it was okay to play Star Fox 64. $60 for an hour was a really good price but you had to kick in the afterburners to literally get through the game like I mentioned.

[@J.jumonville]

I loved the Lodgenet n64 games! We would beg our mom to set it up for us while we were in the hotel room! So much fun!

[@possumlodge5368]

Might wanna do a little more research on the expansion pack. That thing was just fix for bugs they couldn't fix before the release of dk64. All the games can still run without it if you can bypass the boot up screen, and in actuality the increased resolution often caused games to run more slowly due to hardware restrictions.

[@glibbybibby4562]

Most of these things you have to buy an accessory, an aftermarket one, which came out decades after the n64 time.

[@jonathanianthompson]

You can tell that this guy just played an N64 at his cousin's house when he was 8 and got overly nostalgic about it which caused him to make a video talking about well known N64 accessories.

Things like GameShark Online wouldn’t have existed if search engines and internet were as prominent as they are today. How hard was it to manually enter gameshark codes once you found them?

Top 10 things your n64 could've done or is slightly n64 related

[@potawatadingdong]

I was in a hotel in Winter Park, CO that had N64s in the rooms. I remember renting Rampage on it. Fun times.

[@jimmea6317]

This video goes on like: did you know? Your Nintendo 64 can not only play games, but it can play *Nintendo 64* games too!

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

If you were not hacking your own Goldeneye/Zelda OOT codes with a gameshark...you were not truly one of the cool kids on the block.

[@sirMAXX77]

The Power Glove failed, cause of production cost cuts that used cheaper work arounds for motion sensing. The technology originally in mind would have made the glove too expensive and fragile.

[@SkyCharger001]

You make it sound like the Tristar 64 only worked as a pass-through for the nes/snes games, when it actually worked more like the Super Game Boy.
