CORRECTION: The N64 release actually DOES have multiplayer. You access it by pressing "START" on player 2's controller during the character select. I initially couldn't find it, so I thought it wasn't included. Sorry for the misinformation!

@@KienPhung Could be tricky. Assuming the publishers of the re-release and current PC 'port' of it probably don't have the original source code themselves. Which may explain why they couldn't add anything into the N64 version and had to resort to an emulated PS1 version on PC, might require a lot of reverse engineering or a write-up of the same code from scratch. Though the fact this game got a re-release is already a surprising miracle by itself, it might not be hopeless in the future.

As a heads up, the Steam version of the game just uses PCSX-Reloaded to emulate the PS1 version of the game. So while you would technically be playing the graphically "best" version that way, there's no new content or any PC related features, just whatever the emulator ships with. Even then the default settings they use are awful and the controller support is nearly nonexistent. If anything, the Steam version is the WORST way to play it. I'd recommend just buying a PS1 copy and running it on ePSXe for the absolute best experience.

Beware, this is long *repost since youtube seems to be hiding this comment for some reason?* Loved this video nitro, and especially loved the part on Donkey Kong 64, personally I find the positives of DK64 HEAVILY outweigh the flaws for me personally and I absolutley ADORE the solution you had for it my man. I completely and fully aknowledge the games flaws such as some mini games being unbalanced and can sometimes feel unfair(agreed), or how like you mentioned the instant kong swapping problem(which personally never bothered me), and as well as the amount of collectibles if your going for 101%, which again, never personally bothered me since how I personally always played the game is beat it getting the required 100 out of 201 Golden bananas to beat the game, and THEN post game I ususally explore and get other stuff I missed through the worlds and continue on, making the game have great reaply value for me personally(I still do this personally with games today such as Super Mario Odyssey). The pros of DK64 for me personally outweigh the cons such as how I always felt the atmosphere of DK64 is unlike many 3d platformers I have ever played, DK64 usually always felt like a pretty dark game, from the dimented "GET OUT" voice that times you and tracks you with a crosshair, to creepy castle having legit terrifyingly well crafted unerving sections such as the corridor with the unsettling moaning sounds of death, or Frantic Factorys absolutely phenomenal creepy dark music mixing with the "Haunted Toy Factory" aesthetic, and how Crystals Caves how it goes to completely graceful and peaceful to out of nowhere the music becomes frantic and panicking while the cave pillars are collapsing upon you ! And i'm not alone on this sentiment of dk64 feeling darker than most 3D platformers of that time(or even to this day), the absolutely phenomenal soundtrack orchestrated by Grant kirkhope is particularly darker than BK or BT, Grant said this himself on a recent interview how he intended for Donkey Kong 64 soundtrack to be darker than the banjo games. Tracks as personally incredible, catchy, and magnificently orchestrated such as Mad Jack, Army Dillo Remach, Frantic Factory, Angry Aztec, Angry Aztec Temple, Crystal Caves, Fungi Forrest, etc. As well I always personally loved these types of games, exploring a 3D sandbox collectothons, so again I never was bothered by the amount of collectables personally. Another note I absolutely adored about this game and feel is always overlooked is the 4 player "Monkey Smash Multiplayer" mode. With 4 friends, 3 different selectables maps(well made multiplayer maps to imo), and everyone frantically shooting fruit weapons at eachother, throwing orange grenades, using the warp pads that take you to the homing ammo so you can basically become untouchable(and snipe people all the way on the other side of the map), or simply melee-ing it out! I know im in the minority but this is all personally me and my personal views and likes about the game. I would love to one day see you tackle this game and would love to see your honest thoughts about it! P.S. Sorry for the horrifically long comment, just felt like I wanted to share this

... I WAS LITERALLY THINKING ABOUT THIS GAME A FEW NIGHTS AGO!! I read it in some Nintendo magazine with Megaman 64 also on it, and remembered there was this weird game I sort of just glanced over.

The "Move over Mario" quote reminds me of when I saw a magazine add for Dark Cloud that called it the "Zelda Killer." For whatever reason, there was little enough context that I didn't understand that it was referring to the game Zelda and not the character. I thought that there was a Legend of Zelda game about Link being framed for Zelda's assassination or something.

Ah, finally you talk about it! This one was/is infamous as an almost Nintendo title and then an actual Nintendo title. So I've been looking forward to your thoughts on it since the Kickstarter, it's not often one gets to review a "new" N64 game. Though I guess it's not that much different than the PS1 version in the end and there are some problems with the design. So uh, worth the wait?

Well the graphics are obviously easier to look at with the typical smoother tone the n64 gave over ps1. Also somehow the controls can feel more natural to some being a 3d game. If you own a hori pad especially…

40 Winks was one of the ten first games my parents bought for me on the PS1. It was something of a PS1 starter pack they made for me. This game caught my attention immediately. I still have Tumble's scream and the zombies groan in my head, ready to be replayed at will.

Those pre-rendered PS1 cutscenes look bloody amazing for the time. Back then I thought something like Heart of Darkness had the best cutscenes ever, but these are so good they could easily be passed off as PS2 stuff and I'd believe it.
