Mike I just wanna say thanks for streaming. Your streams make me smile. I suffer depression and it helps to watch you. Im down alot these days. I hope you get a chance to see this. Im just a good fan but im hoping to be a good friend of urs one day. Again thanks mike.

Ookkeeee

[@thedoc8008]

As a kid this game felt easy as shit, but playing it recently it's insanely hard to me. Great to see you play this Mike. Wish I was there for this stream.

[@MarcoFD]

ah man mike, you missed out on this one in the teenage years, so much fond nostalgia to this one, since we only got to go skiing once every 2 years (still lucky!) this really hit the spot for those winter day feelings. the music is amazing and the gameplay is great as well. i dont know of a memory pack that has more space, there are options for modded memory packs wheren someone has replaced the old battery based memory chip for one thats not dependent on a battery so it will last for many years.

[@SharonisCarin321]

Slash and Jam are my mains I never play Tommy

[@mikematei]

I was in college when this game came out.

[@SharonisCarin321]

@@mikematei This game needs a revival. It died because the DS version went too Anime.

[@BeeAreBee]

That was really fun! Power-ups in racing games can sure ramp up the intensity and frustration.

[@1200hobos]

This is the best channel. Thanks for streaming when you don't have to Mike. N64 still feels new to me btw.

[@mikematei]

Thanks. Yeah it's one of the "new" ones to me too LOL I get it.

[@ddduuunnnggg]

The sequel is one of my favorite n64 game its soo good, you gotta try that one if you haven't already

[@MateMagyar88]

Always enjoyed this growing up! Getting hit with those pans is like getting hit with the Mario Kart blue shells! Nothing you can do about it! 😂

[@artemus2]

Damn, the AI in this game is fucking relentless.

[@colinbaldwin7773]

Nice to see the N64 getting more play time. Would like to see you play 1080 Snowboarding and Shadows of the Empire.

[@synthogod]

Mike! That very first race was fucking world class! Can’t believe you hit that guy right before the finish line.

[@sebastiangluck7793]

Such a nice game! A sweet precious little gem! It starts lighthearted and finishes strong. You can get real involved doing all the stunts. Great to see Mike play this and find out.

[@rufioquin2406]

I’m just past the 4th hour and really enjoying watching Mike play this. I never had this as a kid either. I did get an N64 on day one but I never knew about this one until I became a collector, and realized it was a good idea to keep an eye out for games published by Atlus - they seemed to always put out games in North America that most publishers wouldn’t, and at least from my experience, most Atlus releases are solid (and usually pricey unfortunately). I would still like to add this and the sequel to my collection one day, but I’m one of those people who like to have a game with the box and manual, so this one would cost between $250 - $300 for a good CIB copy.

[@MateMagyar88]

Since Mike has brought up some great video game topics in the beginning of each stream, one idea I had was, “what’s the most rewarding game and/or challenge you accomplished for each console?”

[@retrogamingknight]

The music in the Dizzy-Land level reminds me of the level 1 music in Space Harrier in the arcade.

[@GFkilla17]

music is so good in this game

[@ChaoticDarkness1]

1:51:55 even in Snowboard Kids there's no escaping inflation

[@goddimmus]

Play of the fucking day at 10 min mark!

[@Bearwolf13]

I was just playing 1080° Snowboarding for N64. it's the only snowboarding game I've ever played but I've always wanted to try more. I think I'll check this one out...

[@TomDonnan]

The SSX games are great too, they're not for N64 though.

[@BluesElwoo2]

This game looks like fun! I had 1080 snowboarding on N64 back in the day! I really enjoyed it, but this looks like a fun spin on snowboarding games! Remember when a game like this could be released with 6 courses and we were happy?

[@holdingpattern245]

Is this like Rock & Roll Racing, where you have to keep upgrading your abilities to even have a chance at winning the later races?

[@mojebi3804]

What a great game you've introduced me to.

[@eupher2]

There was also Snowboard Kids Plus for the PlayStation that was only released in Japan. It's a enhanced version of this game. The music is better, the sound effects are better, the controls are better. Extra Characters. The items work better. For example you can throw the bombs behind you. The difficulty is toned down a little bit. Really the only down side is the frame rate isn't as good, but other then that it's a better version of this game.

[@beanguru6838]

I remember renting this game back then, had a blast with it. Replayed it recently and it took me a week to realize that you can dodge items by jumping when the exclamation mark is over your head, made this game way more bearable lol. you'll probably enjoy the 2nd game whenever you get to it, the difficulty is a bit easier than this.

[@kinmachado5474]

This was my first game when i got the N64. Beat the shit out of it

[@100comedy]

I dont know why but for some reason the australian version is really expensive at my local store and the funny thing is there’s a $1000 price difference between unboxed and mint 😂

[@TwoBlackMarks]

They have really big noses.

[@kid_lucchese]

Dude!!! Fuck yes! I didn't think anyone even knew about these. The sequel is even better! So pumped to watch this! Thank you, Mike!

[@etherraichu]

Its a shame he didn't do the three extra levels ;-;

[@SharonisCarin321]

I grew up with this! I always was Jam Slash and Linda. Tommy's turning is awful Shinobin was so hard to race against. I never did play the Second game or it's Reboot on DS

[@greenblooded395]

Thanks

[@Mumraw_]

Mike. How do you feel about the rumble pack being used in Zelda Ocarina of Time to identify secret hidden passages? You wouldn't know of there existence without the rumble pack unless you bought a strategy guide.

[@dydeesoule9013]

I'm creating a cartoon. It's called, Forgotten Tales! It's about these forgotten and obscure characters that go on wacky and crazy adventures.

[@NeverbeGoodat]

Nice little funracer! No Masterpiece, but worth playing!

[@drjayteamk4531]

you know what they say. big nose... uh.... big nose the caveman XD

[@muneno1066]

I used to LOVE this game back in the day

[@yackispanther2039]

If you want more hard n64 games to stream goldeneye on 00 agent difficulty would make you tear you’re hair out.

[@Fun-cy1il]

dude the backgrounds in Dizzy Funland.... incredible

[@Gigidag77]

you made me remember how much the bombs sucked as an item, lol

[@klauscottonswab2322]

Hey Mike, do you use a HDMI mod on your Nintendo 64 ?

[@mrgouveia1987]

You should try 1080 Snowboarding next

[@ProdriveGT]

5hr stream, .......he must have liked it.

[@yorkshireplumbing]

The AI on Mario Kart on the 3DS was so incredibly insulting, I sold the 3DS lest I smashed it to pieces. I'm glad I never played this because I loved my N64.

[@afterthought55]

Nice to see some N64 streams. You haven't done Mario 64 yet right?

[@mikematei]

I havent. I’m more of a 2D mario person.

[@edwardhinton1615]

A high pitched yaaaaayyyyy!!!! from Mike Matei was always going to result in an instant failure.

[@personaslates]

Fuck i member renting this game when i was like 10, i totally forgot it existed.

[@Sabkind]

Can’t believe it. Never thought I see mike play one of my fav games ever. Especially bc it’s not so well known.

[@mikematei]

It’s weird it seems like people know this game very well or never heard of it at all. I was getting the impression that this game was more popular than it is. I guess its more of a hidden gem.

[@theironfox2756]

10:15 Mike is a skilled enough gamer that you see him stream something and it's like a drama. In this case, a clichéd sports drama.

[@TheTogoRojo]

i really need to. another im over due with.

@@mikematei amazing, really looking forward to that one :)

[@LumbyMcGumby]

I love this game is still play it a lot. Soundtrack is amazing. One trick which you probably already learned if you hold down a for a couple seconds and release you get a speed boost

[@8track822]

Would love it if Mike played Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker for the PlayStation/Nintendo 64. Have Snowboard Kids, and played it all the time as a kid.

[@Motawa88]

That fucking music

[@simonmorley2934]

Really great stuff x

[@Denjired]

Rented this game once as a kid. Neither liked nor hated it, it was just...OK. Definitely didn't regret it as a weekend rental. Glad you have fun with it and (SPOILER ALERT) would really like it if you can pull off Quicksand Valley, Silver Mountain and Ninja Land as well if you are in the mood for it.

Where's the video where you beat it in 3 seconds?

[@TomDonnan]

Hey Mike you should try out the 2nd game too if you want, the computers seem to use items less often so it's less frustrating. The item boxes are also colour coded.

[@Kourumeme]

Fun game. The ds one has different art style than the original.

Nice game choice!

I love this game so much ! How's the sequel and DS game??

[@steveyoung6702]

@Surgeofthescourge Snowboard Kids 2 is better. The mechanics are improved (smoother movement and easier turning) and there are cooler stages and other add ons. Overall it's better balanced and more fun to play. I never played the DS version or the reboot.

haha I also turn off the rumble option on every games, it sucks the life of the battery too

[@mikematei]

Yeah I cant stand it. Shit should be OFF by default on every game. Im not saying it cant exist. But just make if off unless someone actually wants that crap.

[@etherraichu]

I used a rumble pack pretty much all the time.. Then I got GTA San Andreas. then I got to the mission that makes you drive on train tracks. and I had to try it a lot to win. it obliterated my wrists. Ive hated them since.

[@patshowiedoit5340]

I always liked this game but only rented it. I had the second one which I liked better! Played the hell out of it, wish I still had it!

I dont remember the frustration in this game but watching definitely fucking clicked. Fuck that alpine one. Coolest looking = shit board 😞 (I think hopping a lot was supposed to be how you turn quicker)
