[@2WaterGuns]

The "I LOVE YOU" text is similar to text in Majora's Mask where the last page of the crash debugger says "All pages are displayed. Thank you! You are great debugger. [sic]". I always assumed this was a message aimed at testers during development, thanking them for scrolling through all the pages when a crash happened - maybe because they were taking down the data as notes? Or on a videotape?

[@TheGameCreator13]

Maybe "I LOVE YOU" and "You are great debugger" are there as a confirmation that the debugger is printing out ALL of the code instead of stopping mid-way like it might've when they were developing said debugger

'Mischief Makers' is such an underrated and good game imho. As a kid I was too stupid to play through it, but many years later I finished it after I totally forgot about this game. Today it's one of my favourite N64 games tbh.

[@JohnRedWolf87]

I love all of Nintendo's systems, but SNES, N64, and Gamecube are my favorites. If I had to choose one, it would have to be the N64. I have the fondest memories of that system's games. Even today, there's just something magical about them.

Nice list. Mines the wii U

[@littlejimmy2825]

I also grew up on n64, I love all their consoles and they all have something uniquely special to them. But n64 has that truly magical feel to it, I think its those graphics and music.

Liminal Spaces

[@kingcollie]

@@shrederman9838 full on that. I remember having like existential dread playing South Park. That one still makes me feel so uncomfortable. N64 games are the Backrooms of the gaming industry.

[@MarbleThumbs]

@@kingcollie I don't think that has anything to do with the N64 itself though, the PS1 version of the game feels just as eerily empty. Probably more to do with developers trying to juggle resources and ultimately failing to create a believable world, a feeling that would be exacerbated in pre-release demos.

[@bluegum6438]

@@MarbleThumbs Silent Hill works really well because it leveraged the limitations to create spookiness. The fog, the indistinct and jerky enemies, the low resolution and the desolation are all generally present in early 3D games, there's a little bit of Silent Hill in all of them.

5:00 In regards to language barriers, I think I read somewhere that the Japanese translator struggled to understand Scottish accents so I imagine basic communication was very difficult. DMA was a British company but were based in Scotland.

[@AlGoYoSu]

Spent hundreds/thousands of hours playing N64 4 way on a 80" TV with friends and family that had to be hit on the side periodically in order for the video signal to work in the 90s. Mario Kart (all time favorite version), GoldenEye, and wrestling games like WCWvsNWO to name a few are still fun to play all these years later.

[@lakerslodom7]

I'm curious where you found an 80" TV in the 90s...

[@blackboimuzikkingmario9728]

Still have Mario kart and eve ..and W.C.Wvs NWO

[@berzerkbankie1342]

An 80" tv? In the late 90s? It would have weighed 400 lbs or cost $40,000

[@AlGoYoSu]

@Berzerk Bankie it was at my grandparents house. It was one of those old style 500lb+ sets where it had it's own TV stand built in. Thinking about it, the actual screen area is probably slightly smaller than 80", but it was still huge none the less. They even had this giant satellite dish that had to be several feet across. Nothing like those dinky ones you see on roofs.

When I woke up this morning I did not expect to hear about Bumper the badger, and that he's been in jail.

[@anthony92399]

Here's the thing most people don't think about; yes, the PS1 sold like wildfire, but how many games are truly remembered and talked about regularly still to this day? Yes, there are a few titles that were hits and spawned franchises that still exist like Crash, Spyro, and Tomb Raider, but the N64 had so many more unbelievably great games. Plus with native 4 player support multiplayer games just tore the scene up better for N64 like with Goldeneye and Super Smash Bros.

[@scottcolpitts8521]

I feel the same. I only had a ps1 for one reason and one reason only. Grand Turismo.

[@boiboi7717]

This video is insane, it starts off without the musical intro which fades underneath while the announcer says "Did you know?" It just launches into the video like I already knew, but no, I didn't know.

[@philliptinner6576]

[@ArcRay20]

i like that there has been a running gag with Rare over the decades with Bumper the Badger. like who was the one keeping up with that? "we gotta make sure to mention something about this 1 dimensional character like every 5 years, maybe even longer than that."

[@thesexybatman263]

A semi-related fact: During a playtrough of Body Harvest, Vinesauce streamer Joel ended unintentionally gaslighting the lost media comunity, sending them on a years long search for an "Evil Farming Game" that never existed. Justin Whang has several more detailed videos explaining the whole ordeal.

[@theakiwar9118]

God damn it joel

[@TheOrangeG1]

One of my regrets as a game developer and veteran videogame player is not owning a n64 back in the day. So today... I STILL try to understand how to flipping play the library of that console in efficent ways. And I can't afford NSO subscription... and Project64 hates me lol Great and iformative video as always, DYKG! I love you and your channel so much! : D

The character from Body Harvest looks like the son of Samus and Master Chief.

That game had such a great atmosphere. I remember playing as a kid and being genuinely spooked by the alien worlds. Part of that is being young, but still, the sound design was excellent.

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

I like Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Paper Mario because I love the characters Banjo & Kazooie, Chunky Kong, Conker the Squirrel, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Humba Wumba, Lanky Kong, Link Luigi, Mario, Malon, Mumbo Jumbo, Peach, Tiny Kong, Yoshi, Young Link and Zelda. Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Paper Mario reminds me of Super Smash Bros Ultimate characters like Banjo & Kazooie, Bowser, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Ganondorf, King K. Rool, Link, Luigi, Mario, Peach, Sheik, Yoshi, Young Link and Zelda.

This was the first legit Ninetendo console I ever played on. I was 8 years old and my daycare had a couple and I played on it everyday. So many memories including the fact that it was the console that introduced to Smash.

[@Drogie]

Cool video, thanks! One tiny thing I spotted: Pokémon Snap never contained an "apple", they only referred to it as "apple shaped Pokémon food" or "Pokémon food in the shape of an apple" which kinda puts them on the same level with "fluffruit".

[@mattwo7]

5:46 I just discovered that Rockstar, like EA has a habit of buying up third party developers but unlike EA, they don't merge them and kill off and/or mutilate long-running beloved franchises (aside from DMA, most of them had a handful of random games,, including licensed games and Spidersoft, now Rockstar Lincoln mostly just did pinball video games), instead turning them into local branches of Rockstar and making them work on Rockstar's games. Funny to think the studio that made a pair of Barbie Horse Adventures games for Vivendi worked on GTA, Manhunt 2, RDR and RDR2 (Möbius Entertainment, now Rockstar Leeds, I am _not_ making this up)

[@adamnapolitano432]

Rockstar should make a Body Harvest remake.

[@Optidorf]

Sure, the N64 underperformed hugely compared to the Playstation, but sales are not the only measurement for the success of a console. The N64 was in fact quite innovative with its controller, expansian pack and rumble pack. The same applies to the Dreamcast. It's a financial bomb but no-one will deny that the Dreamcast is far more innovative than the PS2.
