The N64DD - Nintendo Space World Part 2

[@Dracomut]

The instructor of my video game history class had a statement concerning Nintendo that I think is spot on: "Nintendo has always had 3rd party support problems and they always will, but they are creative and innovative enough to where they don't need it as much as Microsoft or Sony"

[@AnneIllustrating]

I agree, that is definitely spot on.

[@andrewwright64]

+Dracomut Without 3rd party support, pretty much no one would ever buy anything from the Playstation or XBOX lines.

[@thedoge8651]

look at Wii U lol

[@andrewwright64]

Honestly Nintendo could never carry a 3rd party title ever again and they wouldn't go out of business. Business would be bad, but they have enough IP to carry them no matter what.

[@DiskusGames]

+Dracomut Hold on! Video game history class?

Great video, TheJWittz! I feel honored that you even bothered to ask for my footage, ha ha! You somehow made my footage work, so that's what counts, I guess! Anyway, this was a very informative video, and you did a great job summarizing the history of the Nintendo 64DD and the games that were planned for it. I look forward to the third Nintendo 64 video that you plan to create. Keep up the great work! =D

[@bigpboy1012]

In my opinion, the most obscure piece of Nintendo hardware is the Satellaview, followed closely behind by the N64 Voice Recognition Unit.

At least Miyamoto got to create his dream of a co-op Super Mario game in 2D in 2009 and in 3D in 2013

[@GatorRay]

+Sjono Yeah.

[@TsukinoAzura]

+Sjono 4 Player Super Mario 3D World is just fucking chaotic to play, especially on double-cherry levels. Almost as impossible to play with New Super Mario Bros Wii, but just a bit more tolerable. But everyone was at mercy to has the gamepad.

[@mr.d8654]

+Scythe Ironclaw yeah but It's still fun

[@TsukinoAzura]

Mr. D Sure, if your idea of fun is pissing off the person next to you so much that they smack you in the head with the WiiU gamepad.

[@mr.d8654]

[@RoboHoundGames]

I remember once having the thought "What if somebody went back to 1994 and gave nintendo higher ups a gamecube and the ability to make the discs for it?". How different would things be now?

[@QuantumBlink]

+RoboHoundGames I think Nintendo would have a monopoly on the industry.

[@CoppermineTypeK]

[@Jacen436987]

+Michael Downing it might be but nintendo deserves to be king of the game industry with sony a close second. microsoft had no right making the xbox

[@PresStar2Play]

Honestly, if the N64DD was successful, it could've been the coolest Nintendo console ever made. Just look at the Mario Artist games and F-Zero X Expansion Kit! They were so ahead of their time. There was even gonna be a Mario Artist: Game Maker! I just love imagining what it could've been like, and I'm surprised there aren't any discussions about it. I guess Super Mario Maker could be seen as the spiritual successor to it, but I can't help but feeling Game Maker would be way better. What if you could make a Super Mario 64-like game? Judging by F Zero X Expansion Kit and Mario Artist: Polygon Studio, it isn't an impossibility.

[@Animated__Freak]

The N64DD is such a box of mysteries. Nintendo was planing with it's Mario Artist series of games to allow people to make virtual movies and maybe even small games that could be uploaded to the internet via the RamNET. Really cool.

[@aguchamp7766]

Can't wait for part 3! Man, the DD looks awesome. If the disk format was better, I would totally want a console with those type of cartridges!

[@howling_spada]

literally every video you upload is fantastic!! Keep up the good work Josh, it's crazy seeing you where you are now because it feels like just yesterday you were at 200,000 subscribers :)

[@Wingster]

Kirby Air Ride is one of the most memorable video games to me. I grew up playing it around the time I discovered Kirby Right Back At Ya, and back then I was really obsessed with Kirby.

[@BigJoker]

Speed wasn't the only advantage cartridges had over discs. I'd say saving your progress on-board is much less of a hassle than using an external memory card. (Though N64 did also have those for certain additional features)

[@AshXXMayftw]

You know, Nintendo make their fair share of mistakes, but to this day, I still love them. I love Sony too, but Nintendo will always hold a special place in my heart. My first gaming console was an NES in 1998, and after two years I moved to the N64, then Gamecube, Wii, and finally WiiU. Not only that, but people like Iwata and Miyamoto have been great inspirations during a time when I was confused on what I wanted to do with my life after high school. I knew I loved writing my own stories, but I wanted people to experience these worlds and characters for myself. It wasn't until E3 2010 that I realized what I could do. I could make my own games. And here's to hoping the NX does well and has an awesome library too.

[@KTGromwell]

"Pro tip: adding another box for your box like never works." But what about Microsoft with the Xbox One and the Kinect? ... ... *LOL*

[@kamikazilucas]

+RipOffManX the kinect was more like the wii remote and not a expansion

[@InazumaDash]

+Kamikazi Lucas Sony's move controllers were like Wii controllers the Kinect was a piece of shit.

[@KTGromwell]

+Kamikazi Lucas Only for the Xbox 360 (although it's games were hardly great). For the Xbox One it was a forced add-on that almost made the console fail miserably until they started selling it separately.

[@kamikazilucas]

RipOffManX so your saying the xbox one version wasent a controller where the 360 one was

[@KTGromwell]

+RipOffManX Fixed a small typo in my reply. Meant to say "games".

[@CodySweeso]

[@22NightWing]

[@bakh554321]

I love the kirby city trial music in the background.

[@walboum]

seeing this video right when it was published, it fills you with determination!!!

[@temporalwolf7054]

On the subject of "Ura" Zelda, I feel like that was what eventually became Majora's Mask. The features described about Ura - remixed dungeons, new scenarios etc. - sound like Ocarina Of Time Master Quest but on a slightly larger scale. Compare that to the reason Aonuma was made the director of Majora's Mask. When he was told to do remixed dungeons for a DD thing that would ultimately work with Ocarina of Time, he expressed frustration at essentially retreading ground to Miyamoto. After some talks, Miyamoto then gave Aonuma the chance to make a new full game in the series, just with a strict deadline (which, incidentally, is why Termina has alternate versions of characters in OoT, save time doing modeling and textures, etc). So while Zelda Gaiden may have officially been renamed to Majora's Mask, I can't help but feel Ura was that in-between time.

[@TsukinoAzura]

7:12 The Legend of Zelda: URA was going to be purely an expansion that would take place after defeating Gannon at the end of OOT. Link would then gain access to some more dungeons and a slightly altered overworld. The team that was working on The Legend of Zelda: URA, didn't like the idea, and struck a deal with Myamoto; If they could make a new game within a year, they would release that game instead of having to work on URA Zelda. Thus Majora's Mask happened. Majora's Mask, with it's 4 dungeons would have most likely been the 4 dungeons in URA. Majora's Mask was originally going to use the 64DD's internal clock to track game events, and it would span 7 in-game days. But because the 64DD sold, SO DAMN WELL, they scrapped that idea, reduced the game's days to 3, and released it on a standard Nintendo 64 Cartridge. Zelda Master Quest is not URA Zelda, it's harder dungeon layouts is not URA Zelda. Master Quest was a 64 DD expansion released in Japan shortly after Zelda OOT to hold fans over until the doomed URA Zelda (Later Majora's Mask) would be released. The player would still need the Zelda OOT Cart and when they launched Master Quest, the DD would read dungeon object placement data, kind of like a streaming ROM hack patch.

[@Tokeegee]

Very well made video JWittz, loving the series!

[@Meetwad]

Instead of Nintendo localizing mother 3 for gba. I think they should instead make it for the nx, rework it into a 3D game like how it was suppose to be, name it EarthBoundNX. Good idea it would be right? I know it won't happen though.

[@ethanc.1443]

+jesus aguirre It's smarter to just make a translated script for the game right now and release it on the virtual console.

[@SelfCloak]

+jesus aguirre They can even develop it for the Wii U and makes sales explode... I think.

[@Omardtown1]

Why not just localize it, I mean I'm no game developer but I think it would only require a text translation and maybe some censorship right, than they can charge 15 bucks for and they wouldn't even have to make cartridges for it just put it on the nintendo market.

[@leftyfourguns]

Really great series, thanks for doing them!

[@plan8067]

That City Trial music is always so great.

[@peteypariah6603]

That Kirby Air Ride City Trial music hits me right in the childhood...

[@OatmealTheCrazy]

You can still glitch your OoT save file into an Ura Zelda save file. It won't let you use the save file though unless you can magically get the DD + expansion.

[@mejiacantillogustavo]

0:26 It's not forgotten by DYKG.

[@heke6791]

By the way, the reason for 64DD was to cut costs of the expensive medium that was cartridges, not a larger storage. It is not that the 64MB cartridges weren't available, it's just that the cost of a cartridge that big was insane. Just like any SSD medium, cost depends on the size. The 64DD disc size could otherwise have been bigger, but if it was, the games would not fit the standard N64 gamecart.

[@NitroIndigo]

The final version of the game is called Kirby's Airride (one word) in Japanese.

[@krx50]

You know, there's honestly some misinformation about Ura Zelda. The name "Ura Zelda" actually means "Reverse Zelda", and was just the nickname for what would have been known as "Zelda no Densetsu: Toki no Ocarina Ura"(or "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Reverse" in English). With that translation in mind, it does make me believe that Master Quest is not necessarily Ura Zelda revived, but is what Ura Zelda was supposed to be in regards to the rearranged/mirrored dungeons

[@TheTombot]

Thank you for that Kirby Air Ride music! I love that game!

[@KBies-ld9bg]

Very awesome and informative video Josh! Keep it up, I really love this high quality factual content.

[@forestwanderer]

Awesome video. Your content is always so much better when you stick to facts and don't try to cram humor into it.

[@okashi10]

Diggin the Kirby Air Ride music in the background.

[@andrewjeisenman]

I'm pretty sure that my friend in Japan has one of these. It was collecting dust in his hallway when I visited him.

[@BeanoNintendo]

Surprised that you didn't mention "Pocket Monsters RPG", a cancelled 64DD game that would have marked the first ever Pokémon RPG on a home console a full five years before "Pokémon Colosseum" on GameCube.

[@G.L.999]

My take on improving the N64 would go something like this. 1) Make the Magnetic Zip Disks the media of choice. Because it's obvious that Nintendo wouldn't even want to touch CDs since they can't control production of it easily as Zip Disks(but keep the cartridge slot as I'll explain the reasons down the list). 2) Increase the Zip Disk storage from 64MBytes to 256MBytes(memory for Zip Disks was cheaper for them; even back then. Since the price for floppy/zip disk memory had down significantly, it wouldn't have hindered Nintendo financially as hindsight might make others believe). With 256MBytes on the Zip Disks being a thing in this alternate scenario, bigger and better games can be accomplished and achieveable in this case; along with some compression kits put into the mix to keep both 1st, 2nd, and 3rd party devs and publishers satisfied enough for a good outcome. 3) SNES backwards compatibility with cartridge slot. By using an SNES converter(akinned to that of the Super Gameboy) for a price of about $49.99. But allow retailers to have customers trade in their SNES for said converter for free if they already have the console. SNES was still thriving during the 5th generation of gaming. And with SNES backwards compatibility being a thing in this alternate scenario, a new SNES rennasaince could commence in this case; meaning developers new and old could even attempt to try to make some exclusive de-makes of their Playstation/Saturn/N64 games for an already existing audience who are still content with their 16- bit machine(Since that's what Sega did for their Master System when the Genesis/Mega-Drive was new on the market). Like, imagine an SNES de-make of Tomb Raider, or Metal Gear Solid, or Klonoa, or Pokemon, or Pac-Man World, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Banjo-Kazooie, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Croc, Quest 64, etc. While they will definitely not be the same gaming experiences as their 32/64 bit counterparts because of hardware limitations, the audience for these kinds of de-makes would still be there. So it wouldn't hurt to venture into a different market! 4) Increase the internal RAM from 4MBytes to 8MBytes; while having a RAM expansion Pak sold seperately consisting of 6MBytes. All done to help with faster loading times, and more on screen for the console to handle. 5) Increase the Texture Swap cache from 4KBytes to 8KBytes to have more smoother graphical transitions to have a less blurry texture filters to the games. 6)cancel the Virtual Boy and put all focus on making sure the N64 hardware and software has some extra time to mature at a faster rate than in our timeline without any other distractions coming into play. 7) And finally, have a mid or late spring launch in 96 with Super Mario 64 ready to release with the price point of $299.95 bundled with 2 controllers as multiplayer as an extremely appealing feature to have back then!

[@formalcat2440]

Can't wait for the next episode! Gamecube is my favorite :3

[@SonofMrPeanut]

Third Party support problems for Nintendo pretty much date back to the Super Nintendo and the rise of CD and 32-Bit consoles. Going with cartridges was ultimately the move that did them in during the N64 as far as 3rd-party support, but even with games like Star Fox and Donkey Kong Country the sentiment tended to be that they were old news. The "kiddie" image fueled by the "No Blood in Mortal Kombat" and Yoshi's Island scenarios also contributed to a decrease in purchased units comparatively, though that's an incredibly superficial issue.

[@NSTGamingChannel]

Back then, magazines and media used Megabits unit size instead of Megabytes, we were all like "OMG 512 Megabits dude! that's a LOT of bits", yeah, 90's console wars were awesome. -DMadBeast

[@TheGrandRevo]

I don't even want Mother 3 localized anymore. They will probably just pack memes into it. The game is already perfectly playable with the fan translation.

[@FieryRedmond]

All those Nintendo Games with memes...?

[@DarkenMidnacrystal]

+Nemesis King Negro Whats the dated meme in Triforce Heroes?

[@TheCrabMiner]

+Nemesis King Negro What were the memes in X? I'm serious, I actually can't recall any.

[@TheCrabMiner]

Nemesis King Negro Ah, I see. I don't know, "do you even lift?" isn't that memey. If there was a "bro" at the end of it then it would be a different story. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if it was just silly/stupid writing. I mean, how many times did they use the eating Tatsu joke? Though the Doge thing in Triforce Heroes is just awful. At least it hasn't reached anywhere close to Meme Run levels of terrible yet.

[@ness6578]

Talk about pokemon mystery dungeon next. So underrated

[@BigKlingy]

"Another" isn't eactly a perfect translation of "Ura". It's a VERY difficulty term for translators to deal with as it conveys a LOT in a single character and represents a concept that doesn't really exist in English. Clive Mandolin described it in his FF4 analysis is "like Tails on a coin, except it doesn't refer to any part of an animal, and can be used for more than just coins." Ura's full meaning is more like "another, mysterious side hidden from view". One of the better translations of Ura I've seen in in Fire Emblem Awakening, where Masked Marth's version of the Falchion was translated as "Parallel Falchion". It was "Ura Sword Falchion" in Japanese. Speaking of which, a Fire Emblem game was planned for a 64 DD release too. It went the exact same way as Mother 3: got cancelled and was retooled into a GBA game that never got localized. (Binding Blade/Sword of Seals, a.k.a "The One with Roy")

[@zahat8582]

I think one of the Zelda games that were supposed to be released on the Nintendo 64 DD will be released on the wii u

[@KaedeLanyo]

Honestly, to this day, i still wonder how much different things would've been if the DD had been a success.

[@ClaspedDread]

that polygon editor looked dope as fuck, for 1999

[@Igorcastrochucre]

Nintendo somehow was always ahead of time. They wanted to make a CD-reader console, that became the standard, the SNES control layout is used to this day, back at the NES they supported internet connection with system, they tried virtual reality and 3D gaming while the technology wasn't ready, but saw potential and did it anyway. But giving up the N64 DD was their biggest missed oportunity. That thing according to JWittz and Didyouknowgaming represents everything we use in gaming nowadays. F-Zero X is basically the father of Downloadable Content that isn't on-disc and I've heard games like Super Mario 64 run better on the 64DD like higher frame rate and speed, meaning the beggining of patches to update performaces. the 64 DD may also have been the worst thing to happen, because all of the stuff like DLCs, patches, internet connection and VR, would later resurface among the despicable greed of other companies, adding paywalls and microtransactions, using patches to fix a game they knew they could rush and charging $599 from what's basically still a gimmick.

[@missedthebandwagon976]

In an alternate universe this is the most beloved console and people still use it today.

[@Keiffer01]

I myself got the N64DD with the whole game library ever released for the system for cheap by pure luck. If you are thinking of buying one expecting to play good games, don't; the games are awful, nothing of major interest or amazing. On the other hand, if you are a die-hard Nintendo or videogame fan willing to spend a good fortune for collecting purposes, the system is pretty unique and gets a lot of attention when displayed in a collection. Many people actually know about the system, but have never seen one or don't even know they were even released. The games aren't too expensive to collect except for the Doshin 2 expansion and the Golf game, which will set you back 400-600$ each. The systems value will probably rise even higher as time goes by, so if you want one grab one as soon as you can.

[@Flyersfan1594]

Didn't animal crossing also originally debut as an N64DD game in Japan? I always remember reading about there being some minor differences but being largely the same as what we got on the GameCube.

[@MattCraftDotDerp]

Damn you, Nintendo! That "'s" was the most important part of Air Ride and you RUINED IT!

[@Smexbi]

I REALLY hope Nintendo goes back to cartridges with the NX. By now cartridges today can hold tons of GBs, I mean you get a 60GB SD card for 20€ in a store. The one of the biggest WiiU games (XCX) for examble is "only" around 23GB Nintendo is using them on handhelds anyway, they really need them back on home consoles aswell, it would be sooooo cool.

[@AveryGram]

makes me think of what nintendo is doing with the new3ds

[@SupremeMarioGamer]

The 3D consoles for Nintendo seem to follow a pattern. N64 did well, GameCube struggled, Wii did well, WiiU struggled. All have fantastic libraries, but 3rd party support is lacking.

[@ethanc.1443]

+SupremeMarioGamer Unfourtanetly, they'll probably remain lacking in 3rd party support. Nintendo has a really loyal fanbase now that only cares about the classics or already established IPs. Don't get me wrong, I like the classics a lot like Mario, Zelda, DKC, Metroid, Kirby, Star Fox, etc. But we still need a lot of new IPs. Splatoon isn't enough. A normal controller would help them but a more powerful console won't save them at all. Because a lot of Nintendo fans care about only Nintendo's already exsisting 1st/2nd party games and nothing else. More proof includes that the 3rd party games on Nintendo systems usually don't sell well at all. A more powerful Nintendo console would attract 3rd party companies for a short while, but once their games don't sell on the system, they'd be gone in a few seconds.

[@GameDjeenie]

+SupremeMarioGamer Gamecube had great 3rd party support, but of course, not as great compared to PS...

[@NitroIndigo]

Most 3rd-party GameCube games were on the other two consoles.

[@adrianrock1287]

I always like your videos even when I don't see them.

[@brutalhonesty07]

What's old is new again though. It would be interesting if Nintendo returned to flash-based gaming hardware given that on the PC side of things SDD's are the cutting edge over spinning optical disc drives, and flash drives are replacing CD's and Blu-rays really fast. What do you think Jwittz?

[@TheThursty100]

Seems like Nintendo has a thing for using an own Disk format. The Gamecube and Wii U did it, too. Not Sure about the Wii but probably that too

[@michaelocallaghan2803]

[@Maddog3060]

I feel like I missed out by never having an N64. I loved Nintendo, but by that time my parents were having financial trouble and couldn't afford to buy me expensive superfluous crap like a game console, and I was too young to get a job, so that whole gen passed me by. Ah, well. Got an old PC not long after (obsolete parts can be surprisingly cheap) and got addicted to the Internet and PC gaming instead. Good times. You have your positive memories about N64, I have mine about Command & Conquer and Unreal Tournament. ;)

[@thedoge8651]

[@dannyboycomics]

if only they had done CDs for this thing, it would be GREAT today for making mods and homebrews, you could burn the mod data to the disk and then it could run from the assets on the cartridge. The 64DD might have been as beloved as the Dreamcast is

[@JackOfen]

would have bought the DD solely for that F-Zero thingy. It looks awesome

[@roduriksan8751]

Ahh I remember the fond memories of employing the magical solution of blowing into the N64 cartridges to make them work. I wonder were that myth started from.

[@BlackINKim]

I dunno, but from an intuitive standpoint, it kinda make some sense: dust and other impurities sound like something that could hinder the cartridge's ability to properly function, so blowing in it could remove that. And, of course, it's unlikely that the average kid from the 90's and the 2000's would be aware of oxydation, and of the fact that blowing in a cartridge actually shorten it's lifespan.

Additional Note on the Nintendo CD Story: This was not exclusively a beef between Sony & Nintendo. With Sony's attempt to get in with Sega and have them produce a unit (the Japanese division turned them down), Sony's Playstation was a challenge to the entire industry.

[@vineheart01]

I remember hearing that the N64 was suppose to be a modular system to begin with. They intended it to be the last console you buy, and you just bought cheaper upgrade units to improve its capability. The memory expansion was the only upgrade they ever released though, and i personally think its the terrible choice to stick with carts that ruined this expansion idea. It could have lasted easily 6 more years, rendering it useless only when DVDs/BluRays became common instead of CDs, if it used a CD system to begin with.

IDK, i invision it like an add on like sega cd/32x. could enhance games. eh...even tho nintendo had quite a few fails....can't blame them for trying to be innovative. I guess tho this is the case of showing up to the race a few laps behind :/ still would of wanted to see what a fire emblem 64 game would of been like. Hey....sin and punishment tho. Great vid. ready for part 3 ;)
