The Mysteries Of The N64...

[@afishsparadise5150]

Good news everyone, Jonathan Banks is in fact alive. Some dude told me he passed away a while back and I was so heartbroken that I didn't even fact check. Thank you all for letting me know. My sincerest apologies for spreading misinformation about an actual man's death in an N64 video. I swear it won't happen again. Jonathan Banks, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. P.S. Thanks for all the support so far! It has been mind blowing!!

Randomly found this video at midnight, scrolling through KZbin on the 15th of December, 2024 in Sasebo Japan. I loved every minute of it. I’m 30 years old and the N64 was a huge part of my childhood. Thank you for giving me a nice surge of nostalgia that added a little color to the mundanity of my day to day life.

Great job! I'm 38 years old, grew up on the SNES and Nintendo 64. So cool to see all of the pre-internet rumors and general mysterious-ness laid bare. I remember pouring over the screenshots in Nintendo Power over Earthbound 64 and Zelda 64, imagining what would be in store. Now we get 4K HD trailers of the latest video game, which I appreciate very much. But still, I miss that feeling of seeing only a picture of something new and letting that churn around in my imagination.

[@tatertot64]

I really appreciate how personal and unique this look at a subculture of gaming history is. It's informative as hell, but the value I've found here is your interaction with learning all of this information. As time goes on, more and more people are going to learn this same stuff, hopefully with further context on the more mysterious entries. Seeing someone so thorough and intrinsically motivated to share the history and modern perspective on all of this makes me really happy. It's kinda weird to share in a random-ass YT comment, but I start a night job tomorrow, and the grind of work has worn on me a lot over the past few years. I've worked as a cashier, and you NAILED the interpretation of the disheveled TRS employee. It was a really weird space for it to happen, but I felt seen. It makes me want to overcome my exhaustion and persist in being passionate in this content like you are. Thank you.

[@afishsparadise5150]

When I drew that disheveled TRS employee I had no idea it would resonate with someone so much. I'm so glad

Ya, I’m a relatively young gen z (just turned 18, born in 2006) but I love the n64 and grew up with it cause my mom had it from before I was born, we also had a GameCube and an original Xbox for a bit before upgrading to the Wii and 360, but it’s given me a love for those older consoles

[@meowmasterL346]

...dude. for a channel of 7k subs, this thoroughness and quality info absolutely blew me away. And did so without resorting to algorithm-humping shorts, but a feature length form too! Was gonna be initially dismissive because 1. You stated you weren't even born when most these games came out and 2. N64 was a generation I didn't have much nostalgia for/considered inferior to the gamecube. Although like you I similarly only really discovered the N64 about 7ish years after the console was dead. But you seriously hit it out the park, even compared to the big league video game essay-ers. Made me appreciate this little console that could so much more, look forward to what's next for ya 🙈

[@iamzypher3981]

You always see these N64 Supercuts that are often very objective and factual in nature, which is very insightful but ultimately cold and startle. I love this video so much due to the fact that it’s a very human approach, it details everything I felt when I had my N64 down to the emotions and even some of the same stupid little sounds I’d make when playing the games! I love how you portrayed the culture side of this console and the games, not just the cold hard facts and numbers! Well done, super high quality video!

Fish, I've seen many N64 videos and thought of the system over the course of my life. I got my N64 on Christmas of 98, played hundreds of hours on it, I've had dreams of Mario 64 dating back to the early 2000s and still have them (before I knew about liminal space and rom hacks), and I don't know man. I feel like you speak to me more than anyone else ever has about the N64. The system has this aura of mystery more than any other console. You can love it or hate it, but it's presence can't be denied. All of this is to say this is the best N64 video I've ever seen. This is art

[@DeadlySprinklez]

Finally got around to finishing this one! Incredibly well put-together video. The talk at the end got me reminiscing too. A while back, back when I was still in high school myself, I had a group of friends over the internet. We were all super passionate about our own creative projects - making comics, making games, even making videos. We were all kinda shitposty, so every now and again the group chat would change its picture to something new, sometimes to things we were working on, and other times it was just memes. Every so often we'd all work together on a thing, and even though it'd fall through sometimes, it was always a lot of fun. A lot of my friends left when things got turbulent with one person in particular, the ones who remained booted the troublemaker out of the circle almost entirely. The people who stuck around, we all stayed good friends and still are today, some new faces too, but as a whole we distanced ourselves from the memories and left the group chats behind. Coincidentally, the last icon we left them with was a funny picture one of us drew of a Magikarp - this video, reminding me of those group chats, reminding me of this video. I still wonder about the ones who left. Sometimes I don't get to - or don't want to - know. Most of the time I find out they're still around and doing fine. In a way, it keeps me going. Thanks for the video, fish. Glad to see you're still alive! College is hell, but I know we'll see you on the other side of it one day, one way or another. You're awesome, man. Never give up, and...well, you know the line.

My dad and brother were playing a game of chess and my dad called me over and whispered in my ear “go look under your bed”. There was an N64, an extra controller, Cruisin USA, and Mario 64. I remember it like it was yesterday.

[@SLSmith24]

Apologies in advance for the long comment lol, but I just wanna share a summary of own personal story with the N64. So I was born in 1996, October to be exact, literally in the same timeframe as the N64 was released. My cousin, who is 6 years older than me, eventually got one for Christmas in 1999. It's kinda weird that I have vivid memories from such a young age, but I'll never forget being 3-4 years old and seeing Super Mario 64 for the first time, and then actually teaching myself how to play it. Eventually, my cousin upgraded to a GameCube once they were released, and he gave me his N64 and all his games as a hand-me-down, because I loved playing it so much. Going from there, and then playing games like Wave Race 64, Snowboard Kids, Donkey Kong 64, Goldeneye, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, as well as the various WWF and WCW wrestling games that were on the N64, it was literally my introduction into video games, and I'll forever love the Nintendo 64 for that. By the way, great video here, man. You've earned a new subscriber with this one. This is the most definitive N64 retrospective I think I've ever seen.

Splendid video man. Took me way back to my younger years. Nostalgia truly can be beautiful, and great work and quality of it all! Fun fact: I too have a photo dressed up as buzz as a kiddo, that collective conscious goes crazy man 😂

Your video production style is my favorite on this website bar none. I cannot believe you are only 20. I hope you are working in video production, because in just a few years you will break the sound barrier on your field. You already have in my book. Love from Ukraine

The algorithm absolutely putting in great work. First video or mention I've ever seen of you, the absolute talent and passion in this video is wild. I hope you do more things like this, but the N64 is my absolute favorite so at least we got this amazing video. Keep it up.

30:40 Kirby Air Ride was an incredible game. My and my sister sunk dozens upon dozens of hours in city trials. We even started making up games inside of it following our own special rules. The freedom it gave you and the open playground style maps were just such a fun time!

I did the same exact thing! Me and my friends would just run around aimlessly and hang out in those weird ass hidden areas for literal hours

ok this was really cool. I finished watching this last night but i came back to leave a comment, i love your editing style and I'm currently watching your older videos which are also really entertaining. i never had the n64 growing up, a bunch of my friends had them when i was growing up but i actually never had one until like 2014 after i graduated high school, so i missed out on alot of the games. I had emulation and such but its not the same as actually playing on original hardware, the n64 was kind of this missing link for me the console that i never really spent much time on, so it was really cool to see it from your perspective. i got my first game console the NES when i was 8 years old while the GameCube, ps2 and xbox had just came out, but i was trilled to get to play all these cool old games, so i can relate with you story. i frequently went thrift shopping with my mom to find old nes cartridges, even though the games were much older than me most of my friends in the neighbor hood always wanted to come over afterschool and play them because they had never seen them before, even though they all had xboxs and ps2 at home. I like to think a lot of these classic games are timeless maybe not graphically but if these games were made to day with modern graphics and released for the first time that they would be well regarded still because of solid game play and story telling.

I work at a data center and can confirm that getting a box that big on a Tuesday morning will, in fact, ruin your week.

I love your aesthetic so much you got my follow dude! I’ll take inspiration from that intro for some of my stuff

Super Mario 64 will go down as the greatest piece of gaming nostalgia to ever exist. I can’t think of another game that gives you the same feeling when you push that power button and hear the initial loading screen.
