[@RedLink27]

That's really weird. I was at a flea market in Fredericton, New Brunswick back in 2010 or so, and came across a 'fake' copy of EarthBound. By that, I mean someone had taken an EarthBound cart and swapped out the board with Donkey Kong Country 2, and tried to sell it for over $100!! Some people. Happens more often than we'd like I guess.

The Nintendo 64 was my very first console and when I reached college, it was the only console I brought with me. Since then I've slowly been collecting for it and videos like this definitely help point me in the right direction of what to buy and what not to buy. Great video.

[@SaltyChip]

Mom bougjt me a n64 25 yrs to the day that my bro and i got it the 1st time. I mentioned i was going to get one for a few games. Was shocked and just as happy as 1998! It was a great xmas! Thx Santa!

[@indiejacob]

Sometimes I'm still in awe about how spectacular your game room looks.

[@pkscarr]

The bulk of my N64 collection came from one shopping trip... on holiday once and saw a second-hand game shop that was having it's closing down sale. This was back when the Gamecube was being replaced by the Wii, and loose N64 carts were considered almost worthless, so they had a big box of loose cartridges in the shop selling for 50 pence each. Left the store with about 40 titles I couldn't buy during the N64's lifespan and a big smile xD

[@RealMasterpieces]

Always a great day when Nintendrew uploads! EDIT: Thanks for the heart! I found this video very useful, and I'm think of buying a 64, Mario 64, and Mario Tennis with my birthday money. I want Mario Kart 64, but it's very expensive. Let's hope for N64 on the Switch Virtual Console! (If there is one.)

[@Keichimaru]

Still have my oldschool N64 with some great titles. Zelda OoT, Pokemon Snap, Starfox 64, Pokemon Stadium 2... Hell I've still got my original game boy carts and the gameboy adapter for N64. It's a solid console that I've never had any real problems with. Even my controllers still have nice firm joysticks that don't have a whole lot of travel in them. If it's cared for, an N64 will last you forever.

[@retro8029]

This video was really cool. (I love the N64!) Maybe you can do a similar video for the GameCube.

[@aiodensghost8645]

I got my N64 from a friend in exchange for my PS1 2 weeks ago. Started with Smash Bros, Hexen, and Forsaken 64 in terms of games. I got a Forever Pak and Brawler64 within a week; I dont want to lose a save game to a dead battery, and while I like my OEM controller, the stick is still "firm" and Id like to keep it that way. Edit: got my expansion pak yesterday. Paid around $50 on eBay for one after getting into a bidding war for one that started at a $1!

[@KohlDayvhis]

Great video! I just started my quest for a complete US collection recently. I had about 25 games from childhood but they are a lot of the big ones (mario 64, OOT, banjo etc.) and I also already own bomberman the second attack! Since I’ve started I’ve been going chronologically and I’m currently own 9 of the first 20 on top of my original collection. A long way to go but it’s fun!

Fantastic guide! Also for anyone looking for some hidden gems/under the radar games, I'd recommend: - Chameleon Twist 1 & 2 (Moderate, $20-25) - Space Station Silicon Valley (Moderate, $20-$30) - Glover (Cheap, maybe $8-10) - Snowboard Kids (Multiplayer, a little pricey though, bout $40) Happy Hunting N64 fans!

[@dumdumm3299]

ZonicTHedgehog aw Glover is awesome!! such a weird game, so fun to take turns playing at parties. Hasbro Interactive was a cool company back in its day :)

[@moabt.frican7163]

IMO Penny Racers 64 is really fun and under-rated, nobody ever mentions it but it's worth playing if you like 64 racing games.

[@andreschaves523]

Rocket Robot on Wheels is the most underapreciated game on the N64 IMO, it's a fantastic platformer. Toy Story 2 and Mystical Ninja are also must haves. Pd: I love Snowboard Kids! I got good deals on both of them.

[@JasonFolk07]

Snowboard kids is rare in Canada! I have only seen one copy no one has it or if they do they try asking 100$ on a loose cart which is crazy cuz it's only 35$ lol

[@MeatEatingVegan777]

Silicon Valley space station, yes! Such a fun, quirky game! Eventhough its glitchy and you can't actually complete it. Glover is also a fantastic pick!

[@MEUProductions]

I have a pretty strong N64 collection myself. This is a very good starter's guide. I got most of my collection when the system was still in stores. My godfather bought a video game and movie rental store and brought over a huge bin full of games.

Again, another job well done! I missed out on the N64 when I was young but I fixed that now. Great list of games. Another great budget game for the system is Rayman 2. I also have the Brawler 64 and love it! Keep up the great work. BTW also recommend a quality S-video cable and an S-video to HDMI upscaler adapter to squeeze out great picture quality from the system when hooked up to HDTVs without the need to mod your system.

I used to play star fox 64 every day, got gold medals on every course. N64 came out when I was 11 and even though I’ve owned most of the major consoles throughout the years, there’s something very special and very cool / quirky about the 64 lineage. The controller is amazing, the games were better than anything on PlayStation or Dreamcast for the most part. N64 for life.

[@StarlinkNova]

Such quality in your video's man 👌. Love me some N64 myself. Thanks for reminding me that I still need to pick up the Banjo games lol.

[@StarlinkNova]

Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone and takes time to adjust to with its design. My biggest problem with it is the analog stick, it's just terrible. Thankfully there are other options out there now like the Brawler 64 controller as Drew mentioned. I have one of those myself and it's league's better then the original imo.

For the past week, my brother and I plugged back the Nintendo 64, and started playing a few games again like Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and 007: The World Is Not Enough. Among the other games we have are Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. We still have some games we never got to open and play, including Conker's Bad Fur Day which is still sealed. We've been longtime Nintendo fans since the NES and Super NES days, but the N64 is still a great console to have played and experienced also.

The N64 is probably my most beloved console from my childhood, because of the multiplayer. It was the ultimate sleepover game system. Countless hours playing Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Goldeneye, and so many other awesome multiplayer games filled my weekends when I was about 10-12 years old. I really don’t think even a modern system could provide more fun with friends than the N64 did for me back then. Diddy Kong Racing and Shadows of the Empire were also awesome games that don’t get enough love or attention today.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but your videos have something special about them. It's like the extra effort/polish makes them so enjoyable to watch. Seriously, you're the first and only person I've seen on KZbin talk about the Brawler 64 in comparison to the Hori Pad Mini. It's like when Retro Fighters announced the kickstarter, people just forgot that a high quality 2 prong N64 controller already exists. If and when you do a full review of the Brawler 64, it would be dope if you spun it a little differently than all the other reviews already out there. I want to know who the king of N64 3rd party controllers is, and it's only right that you be the first to cover it.
