Back with some more unreleased games for you, and this time it's the N64. Looking at a bumper 25 games here, as there were too many interesting titles to limit it to 15. Enjoy!

@destroyerbreaker73944 жыл бұрын
@@randomtask3539 ...How? Digital distribution already existed before Valve, and i don't think they invented DLC, pre-orders, early acess or anything like that, other devs did and then they really went for it. Hell, you can't even say that Early Acess is new when roguelikes were constantly getting upgraded in the 80's already, nor can you say that games didn't get released without bugs or incompleted, considering Robocop on the C64 wasn't finished or you couldn't complete Jet Set Willy at release. Don't get me wrong, DLC sucks when they are present on release or only add things like skins, and it's annoying getting day one patches, but Valve didn't force anyone to do that.

The N64 presented 3 issues for developers. 1 it was difficult to program games for. 2 cartridges held much less information than a disk did. Games would load faster but games like Final Fantasy VII would have required something like 30 cartridges instead of 3 disks. 3 the biggest issue was Nintendo wanted developers to create games exclusively for the N64, where strict on content, and Shigeru Miyamoto was kinda of a dick. He tore apart Argonaut Games who developed the original Star Fox as well as the Super FX chip needed to play the game on a Super Nintendo. He scraped their Star Fox Sequel that was supposed to come out towards the end of the Super Nintendo's life span because it looked better than the Version he was developing for the new N64 console. Then after cancelling the game Shigeru harvested the assets and used them in other games, most notably certain camera controls and functions for Super Mario 64. So its not surprising other developers didn't want to work with Nintendo. Even Rare incurred the wrath of Shigeru during their Super Nintendo days. He absolutely despised the pre-rendered 3D sprites that gave games like Donkey Kong Country their unique look.

Frogger 2: Swampy’s Revenge, which did come out on Dreamcast, PS1, PC and GBC, was also planned for N64. 40 Winks, which was on PS1 but they just finally released the N64 version last year. Twelve Tales: Conker 64 was heavily modified into Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Project Dream, which was originally in development for SNES, was moved to N64 and then was later mostly scrapped into Banjo-Kazooie.

Those GTA 64 screenshots, I remember back in the days reading that magazine "Hobby Consolas". It is kinda shitty nowadays but it was THE MAGAZINE in Spain during several years. I have translated into english what's written in Spanish for you guyz (11:00): "Finally, after a lot of months after a lot of months of continued stalking, DMA Design have spoken and approved the release of an N64 version of its super violent car game, GTA. It has cost them a lot of effort. In fact, two long years ago, when the N64 began its journey we could already see a version of GTA for the console that took advantage of the Silicon Valley engine, in the DMA headquarters. At that time, the problem was not to make the conversion to the N64 but to get Nintendo to give its approval to an argument full of bullets to innocent pedestrians and suspicious deals between mobsters. However, now that Resident Evil has come out for this console, as well as super bloody Turok and the not exactly childish Perfect Dark, the big N could not say no. The full version at 50% has debuted at E3, proving that 1999 will not only be the year of the great games for N64, but also the year of the great N64 games for adults. We will go into details about GTA 64 next month." Img1 (left):Move the camera away as much as you want and then bring it closer. How cool! Img2 (right): Start dreaming about GTA 64, because within a very short time you will have it in your hands. The rest is history. This game is nowhere to be found.

I think one of the reasons why the N64DD was DOA was the fact you could only buy it off the internet and online shopping was a brand new concept back in 1996. So new in fact that almost no one really did it at the time. Why Nintendo did it is a complete mystery to me but it would have had a much better time if it was sold in retail stores like GAME in the UK where you sound like you are from (you sound British to me) or Best Buy in the US where I live. I dunno if you would agree with me or not, but it is the main reason why it did not go well from what I have heard.

Well, Doshin The Giant was released for the 64DD, so I guess when that tanked the game only made it to the West on Gamecube.

Seeing what we'd eventually got from Metroid Prime on the GameCube and during the time period that the N64 was in its prime, why didn't they make Metroid 64 into a first person shooter? Games like Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake, and Half Life were incredibly popular and a Metroid game on either the Doom engine, Quake engine, or more preferable the build engine that Duke Nukem is on would been huge on the N64!

One of the ultimate games that never saw a release was Contra 64. I was devastated!!!! I remember reading an editorial from this great video game magazine called NEXT GENERATION MAGAZINE from the 90’s/early 2000’s and it discussed everything about the N64; Good and Bad. Contra 64 was only mentioned with a title screen and nothing more. After that, that was it. I held on to a glimmer of hope when two Castlevania titles came out on the N64, but nothing. However, I am so happy that games like Conker’s Bad Fur Day and Resident Evil 2 did make their debut to the N64 despite being late to the life of the console. I was worried that both games would not make it. Unfortunately, Resident Evil Zero was moved to the GameCube Nintendo. I would have still loved to have an N64 version.
@onaretrotip5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, you can't win 'em all I guess. I would have loved to have seen what they did with Contra though, to bring the series into 3D.
@NYCJoeBlack5 жыл бұрын
onaretrotip - I would have wanted a direct sequel to Contra III: The Alien Wars for the Super Nintendo, but this time with four players simultaneously. The graphics would be a lot like the SNES characters designs and color scheme, not the SONY PLAYSTATION Contra’s and the storyline would be a continuation of sorts. Such a missed opportunity. Maybe if those Castlevanja games did well, MAYBE the Nintendo 64 would have gotten it’s very own Contra game. Another game that was only briefly mentioned in magazines was Metroid 64. Again, would have loved to have seen how the N64 would have handled that series.

Umm... GTA64 not happening had nothing to do with Nintendo's attitude towards violence. Nintendo did a bit of censorship during the NES and early SNES-days, yet people think that this is a common practice until this very day. GTA64 not happening is in all likelyhood down to DMA/Rockstar being pissed that Nintendo being a general pain in the ass while developing Body Harvest.

prototype? where. I've never ever heard a mention of prototype. just hearsay. SFIII wasnt super well received when first released, and at the time of this interview, Second Impact, the revision to the first version was being cranked out for october release. So if it was set for December, they would have pushed it back for Second Impact to be ported instead. but the DD was pushed back till 1999 anyway. And I just dont think a cartridge version would've worked out. so after the financial and critical failure of second impact, AND the DD. Capcom probably just didnt see the point in releasing or developing the port. There might've been talk of doing a cartridge version. but that is a big game with a high number of sprites and the basic N64 was not a 2D powerhouse and was very hard to 2D on period. I just dont think there was a real chance of it happening. I understand N64 faithful, dream about it, because the N64 had very little 2D fighter representation. But I feel like its a fallacy, empty hype.
