What's your favorite N64 game? Comment below!

[@Ch4r1i3_16]

My favourite N64 game is Banjo Kazooie even though I first played it on the Xbox.

[@Play444Fun]

Mario 64 or golden eye 007!

[@almighty_rivers]

Majora's Mask

[@Wheels8504]

NHL 99

[@Skifictious]

I mean it's got to be Goldeneye, right?

[@richard_gonzalez]

Crazy how similar convention centers look. Whatever convention center you're at looks exactly like the los angeles convention center.

[@supersolidsnake7772]

The classic problem of everyone buying and reselling the same crap

[@JRPGLife]

Blast Corps was $20, not $12 😅 Editing mistake, sorry!

8:35 monsters! Take off the price tag!! Haha

Lol

[@indy5280]

Great pickups. It’s always hard to find games when you can pay a max amount for it. For example I refuse to pay more than €50 for a GameCube game. Even then you can still find good games. This series already proved that and continues to prove that point

[@MaxH0ward]

I love all this game on expo content! This year was my first time at game on expo and i had so much fun. I didnt get to meet you guys i think i just missed you since i was only there a few hours but hopefully i can fix that at socal gaming expo next month!

[@JRPGLife]

Definitely come find us and say hi 😀

[@pdxchick]

I’ve missed the Nintendo Quest! Great work, you two! Always enjoy your videos!

[@destinyknightthiefoffate]

Yay! I love Niltando quest!

[@santicanog_]

What a joy to see these trades on a lovely Sunday, thanks for the new video My fav N64 was Mario 64, cuz I couldn't afford more games at the time, and golden eye 007 as well. Great titles

[@GoodStuff_VG]

Loving your channel. It’s wholesome and doesn’t work to induce fomo. You don’t introduce constant conflict fodder. I appreciate you both! Thank you for the kindness that emanates from you both.

[@JRPGLife]

[@Ch4r1i3_16]

I really like the vender who put the labels on top of the N64 games and I think Nintendo should of done that to the cartridges.

[@JRPGLife]

Agreed!

[@fobiwancollecting5400]

My favorite N64 game OoT. It’s cool to see you guys show that collecting can be fun on the cheap.

[@Druiditup]

Gotta say one of my favorite collector channels!

7:54 this is what my mom always said when I would play BattleTanx Global Assault.

[@larshiggs2514]

5:35 Star Fox was a system seller for me, and is still one of my favorite games. In 1994, I saved up lawn-mowing money for a second-hand SNES, and the first game I bought was a used CIB Star Fox. I still have and play the same system and game.

[@JRPGLife]

Love the nostalgia!

[@Earthling247]

Always enjoy seeing your guys videos. I’ll see y’all next time.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@DaCynn91]

1080 was definitely a favorite for my cousins and I. I recently bought it for $5 at my local flea market! But my favorite N64 game is Diddy Kong Racing!

[@JRPGLife]

Diddy kong racing is super fun!

Hey guys just started fallowing and you put out some great videos keep it up

Awesome channel and videos. As far as favorite n64 game, i got to go with wwf no mercy. Just because i'm a huge wrestlig fan and it was one of the best for the time.

[@JRPGLife]

That was super fun to play with friends! 😀

[@flywheels]

I just started following you guys and I saw the announcement that you’re coming to SEGE in Greenville, SC this year. Come find my corner booth as I’m setting up go part with a large portion of my collection (I have a new roof to pay for 😢) and will have plenty of uncommon games priced at or below Price Charting.

[@JRPGLife]

Hopefully we will see you there 🙂

[@Ryan_TheBold]

I was also very much not a 64 kid. The PS1 had entered the world and it’s all I did. Although shockingly, I never had a PS2 and went straight to Xbox. But I do have some fond memories attached to the 64 via one of my closest childhood friends. Like Tetrisphere!!!!! Game is meh but that soundtrack is Oops! All Bangers! Love the Illusion of Gaia. Recently rebought that one. Still as beautiful as always.

[@JRPGLife]

Oh man I need to try tetrisphere, I love puzzle games!

[@Ryan_TheBold]

@@JRPGLife it’s definitely not the best Tetris game but the music is so incredible and rich that I don’t even mind.

[@waltsoph3]

Nice job on the bundling! Always sweet to get a good deal like that when you can. Also I remember so much about the hype for Star Fox and the FX chip when they doing the commercials for the game. It was truly a new wrinkle to the SNES games. I also recommend this title to anyone who's never had the chance to play the game that started the whole Star Fox franchise. 😃 In regards to the N64. Your video pretty much nailed it. There really wasn't a lot of titles when it first came out when you compare it to games avialable on Sega Saturn or PS1. Still they had some classics. Thanks again for the video!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much for watching 😀

[@dksretrocloset]

The N64 was my first system that was fully mine so I have so much nostalgia for it even though a lot of the games don’t hold up today or aren’t as good as their multi system counterparts. My favorite game is probably between Pokemon Stadium and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2. THPS 2 on N64 was probably the worst version but I played it until my fingers were numb as a kid and then Pokemon Stadium was the go to with friends.

[@stephieh80]

3:08 🙌 absolutely agree!! I got my Super Nintendo for Christmas back in the day and I played this game so much. I found the secret star worlds and cried when I didn’t have anything else to explore. 😂 The best game ever in my book! 😀Love watching this series!

[@JRPGLife]

They are such great memories! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@undamned]

I had to laugh when Dan said maybe Blast Corps was a Twisted Metal clone 😂 Did you ever figure out the point of it? I love that game.

[@JRPGLife]

We THINK it's just about running your vehicle into buildings. Is that the gist of it? Lol

[@MortsGarage]

No - it’s actually way more interesting than that. Play through a few levels and see how the missions run. It’s made by Rare and is actually pretty unconventional.

[@jasongarner5980]

It’s a great game. It’s an Action Puzzle game which is unique genre.

[@rexrabbiteer]

4:32 1080 was in the middle row of n64 games behind the red Spider-Man cart. You guys didn’t notice it? ^_^

[@JRPGLife]

Haha yeah we probably missed it a few times 😅

[@rexrabbiteer]

Haha, at least you managed to find it elsewhere :) Love the channel guys 👍 subscribed

[@realsteel7260]

Conkers Bad Fur day should be on everyone’s top 5 of best N64 games of all time in my opinion lol

[@JRPGLife]

It's a great game, but we are restricted to games that cost $20 or less 🙂

[@a1hacker]

It’s a joy watching you guys get good deals🎉, N64 rules!!!!!!!!!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for watching! 😀

[@caseofquartz7366]

As much as I love Amiga, Street Fighter 2 port for it was horrible. It is not that Amiga couldn't handle it, it just wasn't coded/optimized well for it. Sadly, that was the case for a lot of games ported from consoles or arcades to Amiga.

[@Kswitchem]

You guys got a lot of content out of Game On this year. Respect 😎.

[@S3RPiROYAL]

Best N64 Game was for me Lego Racer... played it for hours over hours over hours.. back in the day with no internet i thought in every corner was a secret tunnel haha

[@JJUniverseChannel]

Awesome video guy & lady 😎!

[@Sasieology]

One of my housemates at college borrowed an N64 from someone and we spent hours playing 1080 😁

[@JRPGLife]

Heck yeah!

[@Wheels8504]

I've been waiting for more of this. Every time I watch a gaming video no matter who the content creator is I always get the feeling that I'm the only one who loved Nintendo 64 more than apparently I should. Maybe it's the memories of being with friends.

[@JRPGLife]

I definitely loved it more as a kid, but the nostalgia helps keep the enjoyment fresh 😀

[@Wheels8504]

@@JRPGLife It's always been my second favorite console behind NES. Still is today actually.

I love the sound of the SNES and N64 plastic cartridges hitting each other (and Gameboy games too). The sound of my youth..... 😁

[@JRPGLife]

It's so nostalgic!

[@ToiletClogger1945]

I love the N64 so much. best system in the world. Goldeneye is my favorite by far. such a revolutionary game when it came out

[@justwatching2302]

To be fair charging $5-$10 more for a game you can buy in person rather than EBay is fair. These people have to pay to transport their store/setup and man it for the weekend. This is why all small business is dying and soon all we will have left is online shopping.

[@JRPGLife]

Totally agree, but his was priced $50 over PC, and he was only able to go down to $30 over value. Thankfully, we found a vendor only asking $10 over value, so it all worked out 🙂

[@Hotsaucedeluxe]

I just got an N64. My younger brother passed away last year and it was his. Never had one before so it's been interesting to learn about the system and library. It came with Shadows of the Empire, Quest 64, Hexen (all cib). I really like Hexen and Hydro Thunder so far.

[@JRPGLife]

Sorry for your loss 😞 Quest 64 is definitely...a game.

[@stashmerkin9576]

@@JRPGLife thank you. We grew up playing video games together (Atari 2600) so I thought this would be a good way to keep his memory alive. I went and got a new memory card. Erasing his last data felt wrong. I heard Quest was a no gooder for sure!

Who needs game cons when eBay exists

[@javierestrada8249]

Because you can actually haggle with the people for the game you want and don't have to worry about paying off an over priced game on eBay plus you can have the peace of confidence your not getting ripped of on a fake game since you can always check the cartridge in person . That's why. Lol😂

[@kdogg7882]

@@javierestrada8249 You can always send an offer on eBay if the price isn’t good for you. I don’t bid on anything over what I’m prepared to pay for something but it is worth it given I don’t have to spend the time and gas to locate it. I only buy disc based games on eBay anyways and nothing too expensive so I’m not super worried about fakes.

Blast Corps, that was a game we got for the N64 as kids, and it was kind of the worst N64 game we ever got. I have played other bad ones, but none as awful as Blast Corps. As for favorite N64 game? LoZ: Majoras Mask, no contest. Not only is it the best game on the N64, for me it is also the best Zelda game ever produced, a controversial oppinion I am sure.

[@JRPGLife]

Spicy take! We were surprised by Blast Corps as well, it's just OK

Hey just my 2 cents and feel free to completely ignore this. But the vid felt all over the place i didnt really understand whats going on. I usually just watch the gaming expo stuff on your channel since its fun to see what sorts of stuff you can find there so the commentary on your childhood games felt a little weird. It feels like they should be 2 different videos.
