My Weird Nintendo 64 Collection (2020) - Tama Hiroka

Tama has a lot of weird stuff in her Nintendo 64 collection in 2020. Of course there's plenty of Pokémon like Pokemon Stadium, but why does she have a Blockbuster Video copy of South Park Rally? What's with that bizarre Nintendo 64 Gameshark that barely works? Find out all that and more in this video!

Videos like this are therapeutic as hell, and it makes me a little proud of all of my video game things in my own collection as well. Keep up thr good work fam, you a real 1.

[@animehideaway]

Been a fan of TamaHiroka Since the the Lavender town Video 9yrs ago (yes even she went by TamashiiHirokaaa). Now I sit here and see this channel grow and grow. Feels great and now I cannot wait for 1M😤💯

[@Tama-Hero]

Although I appreciate the sentiment 1M feels pretty impossible after 14 years lol

Tama Hiroka I think you would of gotten there if you kept making videos like you were back then. Glad to see you make videos though.

now that you mention it, she changed her chanel name.... i hadn't noticed 😂

[@ITNODove]

thensho Oh wow, I didn’t realise either.

[@dylans.1741]

This channel is so pure and simple. It's not corporate or manufactured anything like that. It's just a kind and bubbly girl who loves games and anime, and that's why I always come back here.

[@MajorLeeGaming]

So much nostalgia within the first few minutes of this video. Makes me want to play the old systems again! Thanks for sharing 😁

[@kareemcallender3799]

Glad that you're putting out such a wealth content. Really appreciate it.

[@Doncornuto]

If we take the last years as a benchmark even one video every two months would seem like a wealth of content. >_>

[@alexb8964]

Tamashii, I just wanna say thank you for your channel being a part of my childhood. I remember watching your videos throughout elementary (since 2013?). I was really into pokémon and enjoyed channels like yours, protomario, jwittz, and many more. Eventually through high school I stopped paying attention to pokémon which I miss and am now slowly getting back into. Just wanted to say that now i’m all grown up and graduated HS this year :) i’m glad your channel has grown so much

[@marksmithwas12]

2:39 by modding your N64 to accept Japanese carts also allows you to use PAL carts as they're the same shape. It seems that America got the design of the casing altered! Not only that, but from the more I watch of these videos, I'm seeing more differences that the US have for games in general compared to Japan & Europe

[@AndresLionheart]

Are you sure that's the case? Japanese games are known as NTSC-J and american games as NTSC-U. They are both NTSC. In the case of european games those are PAL. I once tried Pal version of DK64 and Mario Party and neither worked on my american N64.

[@marksmithwas12]

@@AndresLionheart I'm not 100% sure, but I'd imagine either there'd be no video output or the video output would be cropped from 625 lines to 525 lines (depending on the TV used). There's also a possibility the colour may be greyscale and also a chance there won't be any audio? I'm tempted to send Tama my spare copy of Super Mario 64 to see what happens, lol

[@youretheslow4237]

@@marksmithwas12 If the N64 works the same as the Super Nintendo, PAL games don't work with NTSC games and vice versa without hardware modifications (electronically that is).

[@CharlieEarthRoast]

I randomly wanted to see if you had posted more videos, and found you have! So happy to see you back. Now I'm just watching through the videos you posted this past year. :)

[@ThunderClub]

The N64s such a time capsule in a lot of ways, every time you play puts you right back there in the late 90s/early 2000s no matter how much time passes - suddenly you feel like that kid again, be that playing some now incredibly dated multiplayer games with friends just like when you were growing up, or beating some hard challenge you stayed up all night trying to pull off, or you're trying to talk to your favorite pokemon and the lad just WON'T LISTEN PIKACHU PLEASE. I don't think there's really any other console that pulls that off so well.

[@EALionheart]

I'm a firm believer to this day that 1080 Snowboarding has one of THE BEST VG soundtracks! "This is a test.....this is only a test."

[@philatio1744]

[@bred2170]

Yoshis story is really underrated. Me and my friend we’re talking about the best yoshi games and I said yoshis story and he thought I was joking.

[@Zondermij1]

YES! I loved Yoshi's Story and was super surprised to find it on many people's worst Yoshi game list. I don't understand.

[@bred2170]

Zondermij yeah I know it’s better than most yoshis games.

[@bassicallyandre]

I definitely agree.

[@stinkbrain2566]

Yay it's a collection of my favorite console of all time! I never thought you would be into modding games besides Pokemon, so it's really cool to see the Mario 64 Pokemon themed mod. Also, you have a the mere fact that you have a SOUTH PARK game is hilarious.

[@user-fy7un8tk3i]

I am so happy that you’re still making videos to this day. I use to watch you (and a bunch of other Pokétubers) back in 2013 like all the time.

[@electrocast]

Yes, the video I've been waiting for!! I am not disappointed here! I enjoyed knowing the stories behind some of those games. Yoshi's Story is actually pretty close to my heart & it's a little saddening hearing that not a lot of people seem to have played it. Also, Hey You Pikachu is a special game to me, I loved seeing it get attention here. I still go back to that one from time to time for its novelty. This console was the subject of my first customisation, I painted one of my controllers a colour-shifting blue/purple, and recently, a red/blue transfer pak. Opening up & cleaning out your transfer paks is probably a good idea if you've never done so already. Really helps reduce errors! OH, and to save space storing your carts, maybe you can snag a game drawer on ebay. They exist, I have one from the 90s. It's black with the N64 logo, stores a decent amount of games.

[@shutupsprinkles]

I love your weird collections, hahaha. The Blockbuster labels definitely made me feel nostalgic-my copy of Pokémon Stadium 2 had one! I got the cartridge as part of their "used, for sale" area, but it turns out it was also the same cartridge I had rented twice before!

[@CarmenCards]

I haven't thought of 1080° in years so thanks for jolting me back to my childhood

[@NerdStrikesBack]

Love me some N64. Never owned one growing up but had friends who did, and I remember the graphics seeming so revolutionary back then, especially for Pokémon since that was otherwise something only experienced in 2D. Thanks for sharing your collection, it’s cool to see.

[@Sinistraa]

I also love Yoshi's Story! I am always randomly singing the songs from that one. I also love how you use labels/stickers on your carts as we do the same thing in our house. Love your videos, they are nice and relaxing.

[@ViktorErikFade]

I had a nightmare today and this was in my recommends, it's like the world was giving me a channel I loved to sooth my brain 💙💙💙 love the video made me feel better

[@jamierichards27]

Finally someone else who loves yoshi’s story! I’ve put so many hours into that game it’s not even funny anymore. Also if storing games is a hassle keep an eye out for a cartridge tower, I’ve got one from when I was a kid and it’s super handy.

[@oil_moon]

The stadium games are SUPER tough and I respect you for trying to 100% them! I gotta be honest, I only managed to 100% Stadium 1 with the help of a gameboy action replay cartridge back in the day (ensuring I could get OP little cup mons)

[@mattwolf7698]

You're around my age so N64 is definitely a nostalgic trip. Mario Party, smash daddy kong racing and banjo were my childhood. Conker desensitized me from a lot of dark content.

[@Soulintent95]

I ordered an N64 yesterday. Can't wait. I came home from school once, I think it was 2nd grade, and my mother had sold the n64. I wasnt even done with banjo tooie! Now I am mid twenties, just FINALLY getting one again. Was a bit expensive, but it is well worth it. Of course, youtube knows I did that somehow so now I get all these n64 vids. Got banjo and majora's mask coming, 2 controllers, expansion pack and memory pack. So excited! Cool collection... hopefully I can build mine up like this one day.

[@matchstick_prison]

Wow 1080, I haven't heard a reference to that in a very long time. Really cool collection by the way! Makes me miss my N64.

[@cfreddykrueger9164]

My older and sister and I both LOVED Yoshi Story growing up.

[@Robshi]

I remember 1080 snowboarding! I always think of the opening theme whenever I think of it.

[@caldera1134]

Oh man, the N64 was my first console too and seeing pokemon stadium 1 and 2 again gave me this HUGE wave of nostalgia. I still own my old copies of those and the older pokemon games I played on my gameboy color too but I get the feeling that by now if I wanted to hook up my old copy of yellow or crystal again my battery saves would be gone.

[@sampuddy598]

I loved Kirby 64 the crystal shards when I was younger. I remember playing alongside my Aunty & Uncle, their console and game, and was so happy when we finished it 😁. When I started making my own money I immediately bought it and a N64 alongside Pokemon Snap, which I hadn't played to that date, and the Pokémon Stadiums.

[@blaineishere3851]

These are really fun videos! I feel you on buying shovelwear once you finally have a little bit of a disposable income. 😂

[@nekobun]

1080 appreciation squad represent. I remember renting that for a birthday along with the system, Wave Race 64, and Mario because that's, uh, pretty much all that was out at the time. Saw a Crystal Shards in there too, nice.

[@shawnheatherly]

It's fascinating to see that they changed the fonts for whoever was speaking in the Japanese version of Hey You Pikachu. I wonder why that feature wasn't included in the Western release.

[@Pr0seO]

Ayyyye I played 1080 snowboarding so much! Yoshi story was my jam too. Even though the sight of the shyguy's taking a defeated Yoshi away freaked me out as a kid.

[@TheWolfSaid]

Long time no see. Good to hear from you!

[@erikholmysti]

Just watched the previous 2 videos and am watching this one now. You should do more collection videos for your whole collection, system by system

[@joeltaylor3189]

oh wow i think i remember seeing videos of that Mario 64 texture mod waaaay back in the day (or what feels like a long time ago anyway), totally forgot it existed till just now. i remember thinking it was super cool to see how all the characters/enemies were made to look like the different Pokémon

[@ameliamiller450]

Thank you for sharing your collections. The N64 was always my favorite system. My mom got me the Pikachu version with hey you pikachu when it first came out. I find it really cool how we have a lot of the same cool stuff in our collections. As for snowboarding game, I like 1080, but love Twisted Edge.

[@warioexpert]

Its been a while since ive seen your content, your as adorable as ever x3

[@AlohaNationKode]

Very awesome collection. I only have 4 n64 games left. Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Stadium, Perfect Dark, and 007

[@Ernesto87]

I got my n64 for Christmas back in 98, with a copy of Pokémon Snap. I had tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, Mariokart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo Kazooie, Gex 64, and many other titles.

[@Kage5868]

What capture card do you have? and did you RGB mod your n64?, i hope you do more vids about the N64 like gameplays

[@minimalchill]

If it makes you feel any better Tama, I used to leave the character select screen for 1080 on while I hung out and played my Gameboy (mostly Pokemon Blue and Yellow), drew stick figure comics, and simply hung out. That song is a total bop.

[@aozoraeyes8976]

Aah I never had many games for it either. My favorites growing up were Snap, Stadium, Yoshi's Story and Zelda Majora's Mask, the latter being one of my all time fav games.

[@bunkets]

I disagree, this is a very impressive collection. Excellent videoo. It reminds me of the stuff I buy, just random stuff that I like, not just popularity or rarity.

[@RetroAli]

Stadium 0 is quite the trip to say the least compared to the other 2 haha.

[@gamerguy425]

Minor thing, but they make End labels for all the N64 games on etsy, makes storing/using them a little less of a pain. They also make HDMI cables which is way less expensive than modding that stuff in.

[@ghettoyu-gi-oh1974]

That thumbnail threw me off 😂 I was giving you praise on your Insta for owning Stadium 2 and I thought I was about to be betrayed with a "fake game." lol Nice to see you're close to completing the game🙌

[@Tandran]

Omg YES I had that POS game shark!!! A buddy of mine set the initial code thing to a game neither of us owned and bricked it.

[@johnnymind4151]

Even though I'm from Italy, my copy of the first international Stadium is in Spanish and I can't recall how I even got that instead of an Italian or even an English copy. I really liked it even as a kid, because I've always been fascinated by foreign languages and Stadium is really nice in that regard, since it's also partially voiced, but this is still a mystery that I haven't solved.

[@ViktorErikFade]

Perhaps ask your family and show them a picture of the game 👀maybe they also remember you playing it a lot and can tell you the reason lol

[@johnnymind4151]

@@ViktorErikFade Nobody knows lol my guess is that the shop where I bought it had it like that for some unknown reason. I know that my neighbour, who was a friend of my sister, had a strange copy of Stadium 2 that had to be put on an adaptor to work with his console, maybe it was an American copy? So yeah, for some reason, there were some foreign copies going around my area and I don't even live in a really big city, so I have no idea why those were here in the first place.

[@HandlebarOrionX]

I loved Yoshi's Story as a kid! My folks rented the crap outta that along with Mischief Makers and a bunch if anime tapes like Devil Hunter Yohko and Tenchi Muyo

[@stetsonherrick8090]

If you plan to expand your N64 Collection, put this title on the list: Jet Force Gemini The Rareware title that got caught in the middle of the war of dominance for so many other games during it's 1999 release. It ultimately never caught on to a sequel since it came out relatively close to the 64's end of lifespan. It's Rare's most obscure game made in that era and it's awesome, not to mention that during development Rare was actually straining the N64's graphic limits to make it look so great. Genre(s): Third Person Shooter, Platformer, Collect Everything to beat the Final Boss

[@nickpavloff8977]

I feel ya with the 1080 music

[@laciereinheart9490]

I absolutely love Yoshi's story, AND Kirby 64: Crystal Shards! 1080 was neat, but I prefer SnowboardKids (1&2). The second one even has new characters and a little story to go with them, and it's just great; the music for both games is phenomenal and I have so many great memories of SnowboardKids...Tama-chan, you should see if you can find them if you like somewhat challenging (near the end) and hilarious racing games! ^_^
