I remember some TV ads for N64 and Gamecube games, but I also remember magazine ads and those were usually the ones that made me run to my parents to tell them about new games. It's interesting to see stuff from Japanese magazines from back in the day, the interviews with Nintendo employees and the creators of some of the most iconic games and hardware are fascinating. I really love the idea of playing GBA games on the N64.

I’m a simple man; I see N64 facts, I click!

[@Fernwehklicker]

I see this comment; I click like

I lived in a city with lots of Japanese descendants in Brazil and that had relatives living in Japan, so I managed to know a bit of stuff that were in Japanese N64s, but I could never imagine foreigners had more stuff In addition to the others, there was also Tony Hawk 3 for N64 to rent in old rental stores here

[@krewl1252]

16:13 "did it even work?" geee *looks at the sales of n64 online next to the ps1" i wonder

[@slavkei]

I like how in the future, we'll be able to tell what era online videos were from based on the sponsors, same as we can tell tv eras based on the commercials shown.

[@Moonstrider]

N64 news when Banjo-Tooie releases. Wonderful

[@selfaware7617]

I've been playing and noticed zero lag 🤩

[@Henners]

Tony Hawk 3 was not a Europe exclusive. It came out stateside.

[@Rando1975]

Yeah, they messed that up. Looks like it was actually a North America exclusive.

[@WadeTyhon1]

I came here to say exactly this. I owned it lol.

[@Pai3000]

Those two TV ads would have sold games like hot cakes here in Spain...

[@bamboobridge-of8yd]

whath maketh you think tho monorosa?👹

[@lonecom685]

The N64 are always more fun to learn about. The fun machine

[@Luigis_Menace]

The entire ending to the video radiated the same energy of: Next time on Dragon Ball Z

[@jordandv2379]

C'mon guys, every self respecting N64 fan knows THPS3 came out in North America in 2002, not Europe or anywhere else. Silly mistake

[@SullySadface]

9:13 or for 10 minutes continuously for no discernable reason, at times!

[@skyhawkbressette]

It never ceases to amaze me how y'all keep finding so many interesting facts after so many years! They were just region locked the whole time 😂

[@PBthesquirrel]

2:22 I would love to learn more about "Zelda dial." I couldn't find any info on it when I looked it up... just a bunch of walkthroughs of areas in LoZ where there are dials. Great videos!! ❤

[@concerneddennizen1027]

THPS3 came out in the USA

[@Hexadeca]

I'm actually surprised that the 64 didn't do well in Japan. It's my 2nd favorite console after my Original Sega Genesis with all the add-ons. Currently trying to rebuild my 64 game collection. Many games were lost between my brother loaning games without getting them back and my parents selling the old ones because I wasn't playing them anymore when I was little. 😩

[@darkIkarus]

Pokémon Puzzle League, like Kirby Avalanche/Ghost Trap on SNES or Dr. Robotnic's Mean Bean Machine on Sega Mega Drive/Genesis before were all originally part of the Panel de Pon series in Japan but only rebranded for the Western audiences for marketing reasons. In the end Panel de Pon 64 was canceled in Japan, that's why it seems "Pokémon Puzzle League" never came out in Japan when in fact the original version was canceled.

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love these N64 game facts!

[@Bro3256]

Great work as usual! Although I do wonder how you guys got the numbers at 15:50 for the total number of games on the respective consoles, I'm assuming Famicom combines Disk System games in that total since the total amount of commercially released cartridges is 1042.

[@ktak2811]

Oh man Hirosue from the rumble pack ad😢 I had such a crush on her when I was a kid.

[@jive238]

I'm pretty sure we got the moon commercial in the west, don't remember if it played out exactly like the japanese comercial but i swear i saw it.

[@safebox36]

Day Who-Knows-What of asking DYKGaming to make a correction video for the Pokemon GS translation video they did where the translation was correct but the narrator completely misread what was said about Johto's etymology...

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

I was 10 years old when the N64 came out and while yes, I did have one and I enjoyed it, even at the time it was new I recall consistently feeling many of the games coming out for N64 were not of the same quality as games that came out for the Super Nintendo and ended up feeling let down when titles like Yoshi's Story and Donkey Kong 64 were just nowhere near as good as their 16-bit predessors. Games were expensive and my allowance could only cover a new game every so often, so I actually found myself at that point buying SNES and NES games which were much cheaper and also much more satisfying. In the grand scheme of things, the N64 is my least favorite Nintendo console. For all its flaws, I even like the VirtualBoy more than n64. Virtualboy had one of the best platformers of the 90s in VirtualBoy Wario Land. Hot take, but I like it more than Mario 64.

[@sadworldwelivein2218]

It’s Do- rock. Durak is a card game. Mad fun

[@dogsrule11788]

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 came out in the United States 15:23...

[@lowpolysunrise]

I got mega excited once I saw this video title. Getting to know about never before widely seen stuff is always exciting!

[@kevintappminville195]

Let's be honest... NOBODY! Would have confused Zelda OCARINA OF TIME, with Zelda A LINK TO THE PAST. No need for 64 in this game's title...

[@EnigmaticGentleman]

There is something so immensely funny about Nintendo both predicting 9/11, then making a insensitive reference to it almost exactly 9 years later (In Pokemon Black, the site of the terrorist attack at the end of the game is the same as the twin towers when you line the maps up).

[@hellspawn32x66]

That was absolutely unintentional

[@Sonictheoofhog4]

"Morton's airship has hit the second tower"

[@TheSkipAJ]

Will you guys cover the Pokémon teraleak? I’m not invested enough to look into it myself but I’d love to watch a video on it

[@Rihcterwilker]

The sounds of the clips are a little too high in comparison to the sound of the narration. Got some old-school earrape when the pokemon tournament clip played out.

[@sailorviolet92]

Thanks for the video. What's the game with the train at 15:43?

[@koikarppa]

Cool new vid! Cooking up 'em pokemon leaks tho?

that's just the new normal, ignore or report them

[@henke37]

I see that you used the automatic subtitle timer. Don't. It leaves subtitles on screen for too long when there is silence.

[@yay842]

Skill difference

[@CarmenOfSpades]

From the F-ZERO X segment, even though ”未知数” literally translates to "unknown number", the nuance of it is closer to an unknown variable (e.g. solving for "x" in a formula). So it really wouldn't have anything to do with the numbering of a game in a series. Seriously, I do kind have to wonder about the quality of the translations cited in this video...

[@Flamekebab]

Copyright has nothing to do with product names, guys. That's trademarks. Totally different area of IP law with very different rules. Come on.

Can someone tell me the game of the footage at 15:45

[@Big_Dai]

@2:03 How sad that vestige thinking has remained to today.. that or the lack of commitment to revolutionizing puzzles once again. EDIT: Ryōko Hirosue looks just like Sora @9:28 🤣

[@cripnite]

Saturn had 1000 games? That sounds wrong.

[@LoliconSamalik]

It did, because it was a smash hit in japan for Sega.

[@cripnite]

@@LoliconSamalik yeah I looked it up, 1028 games. Hard to believe it though when it was such a dud in North America. I haven’t known anyone to even have one.

[@BottomOfTheDumpsterFire]

Minor correction, Durak is pronounced like Doo-rahk, but now I kind of want those Nintendo cards they made for the POWs

jesus is it your first day on the internet lmao

[@keijijohnson9754]

@@ltcaphide It ain't but it is getting tiresome needing to shoehorn in the reminder of 9/11 here. Especially when the game came out a year prior in the States.

You're not the only one that rolled your eyes at how stupid that was.
