Beating EVERY N64 Game - Donald Duck Goin Quackers (88/394)

[@Thabeast721]

The next N64 video is going to take quite some time to be released. There is currently the perfect storm of events making this happen: I am traveling a lot with my girlfriend since we're in a long distance relationship and can be together now, my editor is about to be on a week+ vacation, and the next game is just insanely absurdly long. Some people suggest releasing videos like this in multiple parts, but I don't want to do that. It would be good as a short term solution, but I see this challenge as a long term project. One video per game is how I like to do things. I am not quitting the challenge whatsoever, but it might be a bit before the next one comes out. The good news is after that game, the videos will definitely be released regularly again, as there will be no things to prevent that. Plus there will never be a video as long as this next one (at least I hope). Anyway, thanks for watching these. I never expected as many people to be interested in this as there are.

[@Jacovie]

Thank you for the great work and the time you put into each game. Not just the gameplay, but we understand that the voice over and editing is a lot of work as well! Thank you

[@ItzElixsis]

Don't worry! Ty for the update! Enjoy ur time together!

[@asymptoticspatula]

Thanks thab. We understand. Some things in life are worth delaying the next N64 video...for a while at least.

[@DailyChatGPT]

okay guess ill unsubscribe then bye

[@brokenwizards9122]

Yes one video per game is the way to do it. Worth the wait.

[@Nigel222]

I got randomly recommend this guy a few days ago and have binged all his n64 videos. Great content.

One of the best series on youtube!

[@biquinary]

Somehow the videos just keep on getting better, too!

You heard a lot of “what is that?” Lol, it’s almost a meme

[@zemeio1184]

9:11 "Like a dev pet project" Sometimes I forget that you are a dev and absolutely understand how we think haha. Sometimes you want to program things so the software is better, sometimes you just want to try your hand on something new.

[@CrS0CrashPL]

Fun fact - this game is pretty solid even though it's a licenced platformer because it was developed by UbiSoft and running on Rayman 2 engine, so it had both a solid foundation and some serious talent behind it. Apart from being a bit too short (especially with this lax difficulty), it's definitely fun and something I consider a hidden gem in N64 library.

[@CIubDuck]

I knew it reminded me of some other game! Rayman 2 makes a lot of sense

[@MrSkme]

Looks really good but its clearly a straght up crash bandicoot clone on the dot. It loses some respect for the blatant plagiarism.

[@KingJocoLoco]

I had it for ps2 and it slapped

[@willmurrin9344]

I discovered your N64 series a few weeks ago and have been binging them ever since. I am fully invested into your journey. Over 600 hours, and not even a quarter of the way through? This is a truly impressive grind of epic proportions! I really hope I get to see you finish this grind someday. Keep rocking it!

[@Wabajak13]

I'm always looking for new gaming content to fall asleep to, and this is just right. Your commentary is enjoyable and calm and the games are nostalgic as hell. Keep up the great stuff.

[@WowOafus]

Thab: Is this the most ported game? Skyrim: hello

[@BassForever]

In 2-3 weeks need to schedule a 3-4 hour block of time on my schedule for "watch Thab's video on Super Robot Wars 64"

[@ce7.0]

There's actually a very simple mnemonic for remembering the colors of the nephews: Dewey -> dew -> water -> blue Louie -> King Louie from off of Jungle Book -> jungle, trees -> green Huey is hred.

[@chrislevack405]

Lmfao! Wtf hahaha

[@raymondwallick44]

@@chrislevack405Huey is red because that’s the highest hue 😂

[@mikebrushing1851]

There is no one better to be doing this project. So well-informed & thorough, very chill & funny without being some crazy horn-honkin' memer yellin' WHAT'S UP GAMERS. The spreadsheet, the inclusion and knowledge of JP/PAL exclusives, one-complete-video-per-game, the "what's that?"... I LOVE YOU SIR

[@chester__83]

wow. to me, the weirdest thing here is hearing the English names for all those characters, lol. as a German, I obviously read the books in German back when I was a kid. seems like they came up with completely new names. huey?? wtf, in German they are called tick, trick and track :D thanks for that journey!

[@CIubDuck]

Knatte Fnatte and Tjatte here in Sweden haha

[@PeterJohnBolgert]

I love the nonsense that passes for "plot" in N64 games.

[@sweatyvetter]

I feel like a lot of games back then did this 😂

[@seanthompson6159]

So this is what Donald was up to before Kingdom Hearts

[@FindTheFun]

"It could be a GameCube game" the highest praise from Thab.

[@craigmethven5079]

This is my favourite N64 video so far. Good jokes, referencing Indiana Jones and crash in funny ways, cute game to look at and short enough video that it didn't reach the stage where you look how far through you are. Good job thab

[@zfighter3]

This is a hidden gem on n64. Also all the ports are very different games. Such a chill platformer

[@Louis_Miles]

The PC and Dreamcast version are the same as the N64 one, except that these versions have the music uncompressed (and without these weird midi and sound errors that the N64 version has, look at its TCRF page, it's crazy). And it sounds very nice too! 🎶

[@gotayu]

I love this game, for the ones only watching the recaps, I encourage you to watch the full replay, Thab's Donald impression is worth it

[@ljdanglesfishing2310]

This is hands down the best series of videos I have seen on KZbin in a long long time. The format is perfect. It brings back so many nostalgic memories. Thanks for the great content!

[@Oxzide92]

Loving the series, I realised that if there is 1 upload a week that this will be keeping us all entertained for over the next 5 years. Heres to the upcoming content!

[@ggplata]

I remember seeing ads for this as a kid, the games released in 2000 all had pretty decent graphics compared to earlier games, never knew it was so short.

[@F0r3v3rT0m0rr0w]

I find it funny that disney, the company thats so strict on copywrite would plagarise so blatantly

[@ColoniaContraAtaca]

I cant believe I watch the entire series! Im lovin it!!!

[@marcosevaristo6119]

Virsu, even here?

[@River_Crow_Ca]

N64 was one of my big 3 systems. This content always makes me smile. I never miss one! Okay, maybe one or two ahaha

[@Currnation22]

Some of your jokes had me legit laughing out loud to myself. Good stuff man.

Lol yeah, it's pretty iconic I thought.

[@mightyrawk7808]

I just got this channel recommended, and I'm actually gonna follow this serie as this brings a lot and i mean ALOT of good memories, most of this game i played thanks to rentals (blockbuster) or some other local movie/game rentals

[@worldsboss]

Man… I would’ve loved this as a kid. Makes me sad to think that I missed out on it.

[@genericyoutubecommentchann7418]

There’s apparently a lot of Disney-based Crash rip-offs out there. I haven’t played any myself, but I’m glad to hear this one was at least solidly executed.

[@irishkniferd9837]

ITS INSANE!!! LEGEND SAYS THAT DISNEY"S ENTIRE FAME IS BASED OFF OF DONALD TRUMP! THEY EVEN NAMED ONE OF THEIR CHARACTERS AFTER HIM!!! DISNEY SHOULD BE SUED FOR TRILLIONS FOR THIS FRAUD BUT THE RADICAL LEFT AND JOE BIDEN REFUSE TO FOLLOW THE RULE OF LAW! NEED TO BE IMPEACHED NOW! TRUMP 2024 AND ANY REPUBLICAN 2022!!!!!

[@caidoom]

Had this one on PC and was one that I always went back to every few months to play through again. Really fun! Also the Tarzan game was another classic, better than it should have been.

[@tommcdonald9173]

Looking forward to the OOT playthrough! One of my most treasured childhood experiences!

[@sweatyvetter]

I’ve been waiiiting for OOT or Majoras even. And smash… oooo so many good ones to come!

[@ghettogrower3499]

0:37 Skyrim: hold my beer. Doom: hold my 1995 calculator being powered by potatoes. Also Doom: hold my wife's pregnancy test also being powered by potatoes. I like to think Doom is the most unofficially ported thing in the world, I've seen it being played on so many things it's like the Chuck Norris of Gaming. Just a badass!

[@hawshimagical]

mario 64 catching up lol

[@chrismdb5686]

Rayman 2 and Resident Evil 4 are also up there.

[@SpyroTheGerudo]

I thought playing every Sonic game was a flex, but this tops what I'm doing by miles! You're getting a sub for enduring this challenge!!

[@CouchPotator]

there's another youtuber playing all the Sonic games: Raocow, he's currently on episode 1122 of nearly daily episodes and up to Sonic Unleased

Bro my local McDonald's had this in their n64 stations when i was a kid lol the 90s were lit

[@TheOfficalLutube]

Yes this is my jam! Been waiting all week for this !

[@Yungbeck]

I loved this game as a kid.....and Crash Bandicoot...

[@ashylarry321]

Love the videos and I appreciate all your hard work! The wait will be worth it.

[@fveraeaglesfanable]

Such a great series, I know its alot of work but its done really well and will be apart of history for the console. Great stuff! And remember go at your own pace, don’t get burnt out!

[@spilltheteasis5826]

I like this game really well? You use “well” as how you’re feeling physically, of how WELL you did something, not how much you like something. I’ve heard you say it on several videos, and I can’t take it again!

[@sanityormadness]

4:42 - "Daisy isn't worth killing another human!" And ducks probably think duck a l'orange or hoisin duck isn't worth killing ducks for, but....

[@jarrettstone8210]

I look forward to these videos more than I'd like to admit.

[@uhhh_adam]

Never seen this game in person but remember being fascinated seeing it in a Mexican Nintendo Club magezine

[@TruMaverick]

Been watching all these N64 play throughs. Fun and entertaining

[@CharlieKellyEsq]

My favorite part is finding out the new game. If I had a favorite catch phrase in this series it would be "*** what's that?"

[@TheLettuce512]

Those were clearly "duck traps" not "bear traps", hence the reason the bear is able to walk through them.

[@daviddement7114]

I loved this game as a kid, kind of makes me want to play through it again

[@gertywhatagash_]

Been binging all these as much as I can. Think I have like 20 in so far. Got recommended by the algorithm. Glad I did because I enjoy watching games from my childhood.

[@biquinary]

This game was exactly what we needed after idk how many hours of pachinko 😁

[@PrincipalSkinner3190]

The greatest series on KZbin has returned

[@thedirt3849]

This is one of my favourite games, youre the first to pop up playing the game. I've watched back this challenge and i can say is do not change.

[@meariish]

Thanks for all your hard work!!!! Have fun can’t wait to see the next one!

[@NovaFrederick]

This game was available on several platforms, with similarities and differences. The N64 game is most similar to the Dreamcast and PC, while the Gamecube and PS2 versions have different level designs as well as more content and voice acting and some other changes I can't come up with right now. There is a Gameboy Colour and Advance port but i know nothing about those. Lastly there is the PS1 version which to my understanding is the odd one out but like with the Gameboy versions i know basically nothing about it. Personally i grew up with the PC version, often struggling because i didn't know how to save properly and because world 3 made 7 year old me shit bricks.

[@ambozz3726]

Hey, same experience here! Also grew up with the PC version and never got past world 3. I remember this game really fondly, it's so charming.

[@mitchellshuttleworth3027]

Yo just found you and love all the n64 vids. Great content

[@EdinMike]

I saw this game in my local Bluckbuster and as much as 13 year old me liked the title I never picked it up… Pretty sure I was knee deep in DK64 at this point !

[@apollolux]

This looks like the most Crash Bandicoot game to ever Crash Bandicoot the N64.

[@torugolago]

Man i had this on my N64! i used to love it so much. I'm a Nintendo user until today so i never played Crash, interesting to know it was very similar.

[@barryyourdad6984]

This is such a great/epic series bro keep it up lol

[@lonzolozo]

Glad you’re still doing this!

[@celtictheknight]

Loved this Donald Duck game! I remember I never picked it from the rental store, but now I wish I did. (I didn't find the butt shaking weird though lol, i think it was super cute, and the outfits for Donald were awesome too!)

[@kinghadbar]

“Daisy isn’t worth killing another human.” Says you, buddy.

[@joshbimthedoctor]

I can't wait for Robot Wars! 3 hour video gonna be sweet haha. thabCarry

[@dumpling321]

Just an fyi... Huey = the brightest hue = red Dewey = the color of dew = blue Louie = the other one = green

[@Just.A.T-Rex]

Louie = king Louie = jungle book = jungle = green ???

[@Empoart]

Man I love the idea of this challenge! I remember playing this game on PC as a CD-rom, never knew it was an N64 game

[@barbedwirefire]

my best friend at the time had this game…and as a teenager I thought it was SOOOOO lame…might have to revisit it

[@TrappyJenkins]

This game was surprisingly ahead of its time

[@yommmrr]

My son is 5 and is almost finished Mario odyssey. It makes me wonder how good the next generation of gamers will be compared to us. Thab at 5yo used to hold his controller upside down and he is amazing.

[@GoldyFox675]

"is this the most ported game ever?" GTA V: "Am I a JoKe To YoU??!!"

[@chompythebeast]

Disney licensed games were often good in the NES era and were often _stellar_ in the SNES era. This game came a little late (or perhaps a little too op early) for me to jump on it, but I remember it looking surprisingly competent, and I seem to remember coverage of it, possibly from Nintendo Power, even though I don’t remember playing it myself. It’s overall a rather perfect N64 title to “revisit”!

[@martinvillarrealjr2801]

Still waiting for shadow man 64, jet force Gemini, conker's bfd,

[@fresnokila3]

It's nice to see the costumes referencing his past movies/cartoons. Games seem fun too!

[@Twister-ul6tn]

I always loved playing this game as a kid. i had it for the pc. The graphics weren't bad for the time, the gameplay was really fun and the game has a lot of love for the details.

[@have_a_good_day420]

I can't wait to see him play Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask, Goldeneye, Resident Evil 2 Mario 64 and Starfox 64.

[@ComptoneroRifa]

my body has been waiting for the next upload LoL Thnanks Bro

[@MrZillas]

The problem with the N64 was, they wanted to do EVERYTHING in 3D. And due to this, the most games looked terrible. They should have released some great 2D-games. The SEGA Saturn could do 3D too, better than N64, but 2D-games on SEGA Saturn look like Arcade-Games, maybe even better, for example Golden Axe the Duel or Street Fighter alpha.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

You're complaining that a console released in the first real 3d console focused on 3D, which was the selling point of the console.

[@delete_prod381]

Loved watching this series ever since the start and I have a question are you ready for Conkers Bad Fur Day

[@Gertrudesdiddy]

I love how gyro duck uses modern technology in his CD device , but the game itself is on a cartridge. Lol!

[@mavon2147]

Wow a surprisingly polished game!

[@leeartlee915]

I don’t know why but I find this video series very soothing.

[@Woutie95]

Had this for my PS1 back in the day. Loved it

I can't wait for Hybrid Heaven!

[@Jay-nf1yi]

... Donald immediately murders all it's his children... Dying

[@TheDrisk]

Great video and series... I really admire your effort abd great content.

[@domakesaythink00]

to be fair the being chased by the boulder is actually a reference to an old scrooge mcduck comic.

[@johnnieduke95]

The good old days when you'd see close to 10 consoles/handhelds across the bottom of the screen in commercials on television every game in the early 00s seemed to be available on basically everything at the time which there were a lot of consoles out

[@dollypower9]

"Whats the point of a bear trap if it can't trap a bear?" To trap a duck of course. Why'd the chicken cross the road lol

[@Dkybtie]

Do you still hold the controller upside down? Love the channel, keep it up!

[@Thabeast721]

Nah lol. I stopped that when I was like 5 years old I think

[@joeball13]

I had this going quackers game on PS2 recently. The price seems to be going up on any of these cartoon type games

[@legofan6559]

the nephews of Donald are hard to remember but here is how to identify them Huey is red (usually the leader) Dewey is blue (the wild card) Louie is green (fitting since he is the lazy one and orders you to collect the toys) I only know this because the ducktails reboot is one of my favorite animated shows

[@TheScalawag]

Genuinely surprised how decent this game looks compared to my expectations, especially the graphics. I'm sure I ignored this title entirely as a kid

[@wloffblizz]

Just like Thab said, most Disney platformers tend to be surprisingly solid games!

[@visual_bored]

Cant wait for you to get to Pokemon Puzzle League; It's literally one of my favorite N64 games of all time

[@ghettogrower3499]

World 3 looks like the closest thing to a Disney bloodborne 2d/3d looking game for the n64. Even has the enemy in a wheelchair lol

[@edo_moya]

That old lady swinging a sword was the inspiration to make Bloodborne

[@johnbalkin8223]

Super Robot Wars 64 is going to be a hotblooded video. I can't wait.

[@SuperNintendoZach]

Oh this lovely beast brings beauty to us all

[@-th1rty3-]

Dreamcast had a magnetic character and N64 had Donald Duck for a Crash clone? Woah!

[@launchpadmcquack2386]

Was that explorer outfit a quackshot reference? Fantastic

[@welldonechar]

FUN FACT - The boulder scene in Indiana Jones was actually inspired by - none other than - Donald Duck

[@FiscalFiasco]

I'm curious, does anyone know if there's a document with all of Thab's ratings?

[@Thabeast721]

Yes it’s in the description

[@chrisandrew7577]

It's a review! It's a speedrun...! It's thabeast721 playing every N64 game! (And he means ALL of them!)
