1:32 1080 was definitely not Nintendo's answer to the SSX franchise. SSX first released on the PS2.

[@windowschamp3799]

Yeah 1080 came out 2.5 years earlier.

[@HouseOfFunQM]

I think he means Cool Boarders

[@gigastrike2]

More like Cool Boarders.

[@Bman54X]

Was gonna say the same thing

[@Castcoder]

I think some proof-reading in the future should be considered.

[@FlamingoRadio_]

I was hoping the third surprise with the Nintendo DD was a third picture of Beavis.

[@xXZakkiXx]

1080 was more of a competitor for Cool Boarders because SSX didn't come out til around 2 years after 1080.

[@AE1OU]

6:00 pretty sure it's because the guitarist's guitar has the same colors on the naboo fighter

[@Ozzianman]

1:34 "Nintendo's Answer to the SSX franchise" SSX released in 2000, 2 years after 1080 Snowboarding.

[@Iamtheowl5]

1080 snowboarding was not a response to SSX which debuted on PS2, it was more likely the PS1 classic series Cool Boarders

[@SuburbanProperty]

Ummm SSX came out in 2000 while 1080 Snowboarding came out in 98 so how was it Nintendo’s answer to the SSX franchise?

[@SharonisCarin321]

He might have meant Avalanche

[@Phyramar]

Correction: You said Sony’s Competitor PlayStation.

[@kaihedgie1747]

I mean, anyone who owned an N64 could tell you straight away it wasn't "just for kids", especially given its North American advertising. This was also Nintendo's first foray into a Western gaming mindset since a lot of third party companies on board to develop the N64 were not from Japan. Aside from Rare, you also had Midway themselves. All of the MK games released in the mid to late 90s were on the console with no censorship whatsoever. You also had their experimental 3D fighters, Mace: The Dark Age, War Gods and Bio FREAKS, the first of which released only on the N64. There was also no shortage of violent FPS games such as the Quake and Turok games and of course you have the now famous Doom 64 which leaned far more into legitimate horror rather than just gorn. Speaking of which, this console not only saw a release of Resident Evil 2 (with all of its content preserved) but Shadowman as well.

[@G.L.999]

Then there was Acclaim with Turok, South Park, Shadowman, Forsaken, and some other I don't remember. Then THQ would chime in with their wrestling product licenses converted into N64 games Then 3DO with the Battle Tanx games and Army Men.

[@AceFuzzLord]

The n64 wouldn't even make for a halfway decent paperweight

[@harperthejay]

Holy heck, I've been playing Idle Slayer on my phone for over a year, and i JUST NOW learned i can play on Steam as well. This whole video is great but that was honestly amazing to learn.

[@SethGuttman]

Banjo Tooie is such a filthy game. They packed in enough innuendo for 10 games lol

[@Mud-Brain]

that outro made me moister than an oyster :^)

[@ronaldderosa]

Probably more accurate to say 1080 was the answer to the Coolboarders franchise on PlayStation. SSX came out two years after 1080.

[@DavrenHelsmere]

Ok, only related to the ad, but I am actually happy to see Idle Slayer getting this much love. I've played it off and on for the past year and a half, and didn't realize just how much it has improved since I last played it a few months ago (you know idle games, eventually you need a week to buy 1 upgrade). Didn't even know it had a Steam port. That's awesome, and I'm happy the dev is getting recognition for their work. Also, Skar is my favorite character, Steampunk Robot is just cool.

[@l3layze]

1080 was definitely not Nintendo's answer to SSX since it came out 2 years before SSX. SSX was also on PS2 and 1080 couldn't compete with SSX in any way whatsoever. Love your videos, but I had to say this. No hard feelings guys, it happens.

I might have a reason for the Yngwie code. He famously yelled "You've unleashed the fucking fury" to someone on a flight in 1988. It was kind of a joke among shred/metalheads, and since the Naboo Starfighter is pretty powerful it makes sense.

[@TommyWashow]

its cause he plays fast but not accurately

[@chompythebeast]

I feel like it bears some mentioning that the obvious reason why the name was chosen was because it was all but unthinkable that someone would enter it, especially with the added steps around it. It was chosen for its exotic nature. And I think it's a safe bet that the person who chose it was a fan and thought of his name when coming up with such a password

[@TommyWashow]

@@chompythebeast my answer is the correct one,. yours has so many words its mental gymnastics

[@OrangeKyle91]

The Naboo Starfighter in Rogue Squadron was not only a neat little hidden secret, it was actually the best ship in the game, as fast as the A-wing and carrying an R2 unit plus more firepower than the X-wing. It's my ship of choice for most stages.

[@dc8rdecoded]

One of mine too!

[@Compucles]

Well, the X-Wing has more laser cannons, but yes, the N1 more than makes up for that disadvantage with its much larger proton torpedo capacity.

I choose to beleive that the picture of Beavis was used as some sort of test portrait for the racers. Meaning at one point, technically, Beavis and Nega-Beavis were playable characters in F-Zero.

Mario's moveset being based off Ryu is a neat factoid!

[@cavauro]

1080 wasn't an answer to SSX; that series started in the following generation and was multi-platform when the platforms became available. Instead it was the answer to Cool Boarders.

[@callme_Sweetpea]

I was just about to write the exact same thing!

[@MrEther75]

Nintendo was so concerned about SSX they released 1080 two whole years before it came out

[@SpyHunter89]

@@callme_Sweetpea So was I. In fact, I looked it up, and EA didn't even announce the first SSX until 1999, originally for the Dreamcast of all platforms.

[@Lukethefox]

One bit of trivia I know about Gruntilda is that she may have been inspired by the Witch Grotbags from the Rod Hull & Emu show, A famous UK Puppet duo. She even got her own spinoff series. The puppeteer Rod Hull died after falling off the roof of his house trying to fix a TV Aerial.

[@PineappleForFun]

1080 was not Nintendo's answer to SSX, which wouldn't be released for 2 years after 1080 was. It was the answer to Cool Boarders which was big on PSX at the time, spawning 5 games on the PS1.

[@mattwo7]

N64 had more powerful hardware but the games couldn't even take advantage of it, a very Nintendo way to go about things.

[@Montmorency323]

"Rising Force" is the first album by Malmsteen - perhaps a nod to the him due to Star Wars novel "The Rising Force"

[@AlefSousa017]

I would bet that the "yngwie" thing is because of two things: 1) The yellow color of the ship, which is also the main color that Yngwie uses on his guitars and even on his signature guitars throughout the years and 2) Because from what I've seen, this is the fastest ship in the game, and Yngwie most well known trait while playing is his speed, that his main thing: playing fast. So, they just probably thought: Yellow + Fast = Yngwie Malmsteen, and that's my guess as to why that's the code to unlock it.

[@rob062388]

As a guitar enthusiast, I have to say that Yngwie's guitar is not actually yellow. He likes vintage guitars and what he was playing was a white guitar that had aged (like other white objects that age yellowish over time due to exposure to light). Any reproductions are trying to replicate this "aged" white paint job.

[@AlefSousa017]

[@bareq99]

That ending 💀

[@darthgoku90]

I don't care that PS1 had better graphics, N64 still overall had the best games ever in my book: Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, GoldenEye, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Star Wars Racer, Rogue Squadron, Shadows of the Empire, Mario Party 1-3, etc. I may be bias due to the nostalgia factor, but I don't care. My only real complaint of the console was the controllers' design. That's definitely something that Gamecube made a major improvement on, along with the necessary conversion from cartridges to discs of course.

[@joshinnocent920]

I haven't stopped playing games since my first console in '89. It's crazy to see these videos as educational archives for a whole generation while I remember living in it vividly. That being said, I'd like to highlight something important. You'll see online a lot of nostalgia and revisionists history for the 64. It would lead you to believe that the system was as successful as the SNES, and carried well into the Nintendo Switch. This could not be further from the truth. This is the generation where Nintendo lost around 70-90% of their 3rd party support overtime. It was really bad if you were a Nintendo fan. Yes, Nintendo has their first and second party titles, which rarely disappoints. But gone were games by Squaresoft (Square Enix today), Capcom, Konami, Namco, etc. Also to note-Japanese game studios dwarfed Western Developers by a healthy margin. There was 10 Japanese games for every one Western game, as an example. So to wrap up--this period of time was a major momentum shift for Nintendo--and not in a good way. 1996 might have been their last good year. They would not reach this level of consistent success again until 2017...which if you're counting alongside the studio audience at home, is the current Nintendo Switch model we're at now.

[@finchy6464]

At the end, this shows a video of 64 bits of VR power with a link to a Lost Hardware video with an N64 controller in the thumbnail, but that video never said anything about an N64 VR accessory. :( Only because I was looking forward to that, I feel click-baited and my time was wasted.

[@dominiquesaunders7002]

Hold on.... 1080 Snowboarding came out in 1998 SSX came out in 2000 on PS2. SSX might have been an answer to 1080 but not the other way around

[@mattwo7]

1:32 ...No it's not, SSX (the first game) came out in 2000 on the PS2.

[@mattwo7]

8:23 Xbox Marketplace lists it as PEGI-3 as well, though this is most likely an IARC rating as it apparently never got a proper PEGI rating and the game is an XBL Arcade/Gamepass Ultimate exclusive and games on digital marketplaces have to be rated with IARC (mobile games are apparently exempt from this rule but this doesn't preclude them from getting rated).

[@Optidorf]

Sony competing with Playstation. They are never going to win that. Also: you do realize that 1080° Snowboarding was released two years *before* SSX, so if anything, SSX was an answer to 1080° Snowboarding.

1080 was not Nintendo's answer to SSX seeing how the former debuted in 98' and SSX in 00'. If anything it was competing against Cool Boarders (PS1 96') or 2Xtreme (PS1 96') but more likely was just filling a niche for a boarding title.

As for Yngwie Malmsteen's name being a password, it didn't raise any eyebrows for me personally. From DOOM to this, alot of rock 'n' roll has bled over into video games. One of the devs was probably a fan of his, he's not quite obscure.

"the beginning of nintendoom", can you argue that it wasnt? after snes(the best nintendo console) things went down hill. we can all name the big first party titles but all the big hits from capcom, konami, etc werent there. now compare that with the snes catalogue that had it all. just imagine this. what if the n64(or the next console after snes) had that same support that its predecessor had. we would have had those big first party titles like ocarina, sm64, goldeneye in the same library as metal gear solid, the resident evils, final fantasys, etc. and it continues to this day. all the mega hits dont come out on nintendo, all you got is the nintendo brand games. to make it worst their platforms are a generation behind hardware wise. snes was the last great nintendo platform. hardware wise it competitive with its competition(it was more powerful then genesis) and had a stacked library.

Simple facts - N64 vs. PlayStation N64: + Very strong first party games library + Better at full 3D games + Near zero loading times on games. + Game files could be saved on cartridge and/or Memory cards + Better durability with cartriges over CD's. + Console better durability then the PlayStation consle + 4-player support right out of the box + Extensions such as Expansion pack, Memory pack, Rumble pack, Transfer pack etc are avaible. - Limited amount of titles and variety - Limited 3rd party developers and publishers - Limited memory capacity on cartridges - makes cutscenes and such content often scrapped on N64 ports. - Much more costly system to develop games for - Much more expensive to purchase games for costumers - Much longer development times for developers - Sound quality far less impressive then CD quality - Much more license fee costs for the platform - The N64 controller had a "clumsy" design and a fragile stearing stick. - Nintendo still stuck with cardbore boxes instead of plastic cases = 11+ / 10- PlayStation: + Console price was the best in the generation + Very strong library of first party library + Very strong 2nd and 3rd part library + Great memory capacity on discs + Much less expensive to purchase games for costumers + Great CD quality sound for its time + Cheap manufacturing costs for developers + Cheaper license costs for the platform + Much faster development times for developers + Lots of system extensions, 2nd and 3rd party accesories avaible for the system. - System more fragile - Not the best on full 3D games - Loading times on some titles are very long - A lot of shovelware titles on the system - CD's are more fragile then cartridges - Can only save game progress on Memory Cards - The original controller was not designed for full 3D experiences. = 10+ / 7-
