Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. Can you please cover River City Girls in a future video?

[@ERMediaOfficial]

Fun Fact: The Mario64 version in 3D All Stars is the Shindou version^^

[@stevenbowen9216]

Indeed homie super Mario 64 version from super Mario 3D all stars which is the Japanese super Mario 64 version

[@RetroGameMasterRA]

This channel is criminally underrated! Thank you Big Daddy Top Hat for bringing such joy.

[@Pupppeteer]

Animal forest looks so good! I've wanted to play it even though I'm not into animal crossing because for an N64 game it looks great.

[@oofingberg]

the gamecube animal crossing is a enhanced port that looks almost exactly the same if you wanna give it a try use that version the fan Translation for the n64 one is very buggy

[@freddiejohnson6137]

I love the N64 as it was the first console I really started to read up on prior to launch and got as many magazines through its life. For a system that had such a small library it did have far to many regional exclusives. Well more for Japan and North America we really did get the short end of the stick here in Europe and often had to wait even longer because it still took ages to localise some games in multiple language.

[@JoeyJ0J0]

Sin and Punishment is one of the best games for the system, shame it never came to America even tho it was supposed to

[@thecunninlynguist]

least they released it on the Wii VC for america.

[@gametourny4ever627]

You can still get it here. They released it on the Wii U E Shop as well. If you have a Wii U, go pick it up.

[@stevenbowen9216]

Sin & punishment n64 is my favorite underrated n64 game right beside the mystery ninja goemon n64

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

I haven't heard of some of these. Always enjoy learning new game things from your vids!

[@chadbrick67]

Good innuendos and sarcasm

[@jeff15]

Fantastic video. Love these type of reviews. Keep the great work coming!!!. Take care.

[@RetroMoments]

Very nice video, Mr. Top Hat! I love Eleven Beat as well. I made a video as well for the 5 Best Japanese N64 games to play today. Some of them are hard to play because of the language barrier or don't have translations yet. So I took that into consideration.

[@AcornElectron]

Early access rules! Keep up the good work fella and stay safe. Hope you and LD are well!

[@lorddeimos3129]

Very bad that the great game of neón génesis evangelion did not get to go out in america,what i would have given to play It,i'm fanatic of the manga AND the animé i'loved these magnificent franchise,very bad, greetings from Mexico 😃👍

[@AcornElectron]

Reticule? Reticle? Rectricle? I love this channel

[@hateeternalmaver]

I'm so weak... can't resist... N64... episode. Waaaaaahhh!!!

[@stevenbowen9216]

N64 is my childhood favorite too

[@Bristecom]

Wow, I didn't even know Animal Crossing started on the N64! If it had come out in the US in 2000, I would have loved that game! But by 2001, I had left 64 behind and was into Dreamcast, PS2, and other new GameCube games when it came out. Too bad...

[@juiceala]

Opening statement alone guranteed my thumbs up for the video.

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

I love custom robo.back then i held small tournament in my neighborhood w/the gamecube version.custom robo arena for ds was played way more than pokemon diamond/pearl in my neighborhood,& among sum of my school friends

[@fazares]

Perfect video...i lve the N64 and japanese gaming..hats off to you! ^^

[@Mechtrekica]

I really liked Virtual Pro Wrestling 2. I had All Japan Pro Wrestlers and a lot of custom guys that you could edit. But the amount of hidden content was what made you put a lot of time into it. Sadly the save in my cartridge got corrupted and I had to start from scratch.

[@abadenoughdude300]

I was always upset that the WWF variants of VPW removed CPU logic from the creator mode. Hell, I don't think the feature exists in any western wrestling game while it's there in nearly all japanese ones. It adds so much to your creations, it's baffling it wasn't included in any WWF/E game.

[@BobbyReborn]

Now I understand why the USA N64 library was sparse. Hilarious references within the vid!!

[@AnonYoBizness]

The second game looks like for forefather for Custom Robo, a Gamecube Classic.

[@kokujin-r7254]

There was a custom robo on n64. This reminds me more of virtual on

[@DuskusCB]

@@kokujin-r7254 There were 2 on the N64 actually. Also one on the GBA too.

[@socialistprofessor3206]

Re: 3:25 Wow, I didn't know I was Japanese!

[@SSJSonikku]

I'm so glad that you mentioned SD Hiryu no Ken Densetsu, the improved sequel to Hiryu no Ken Twin (Flying Dragon in the west). Everything from the controls, playable characters, item system, etc. are a vast improvement from the previous game. Densetsu is a solid fighter and definitely worth checking out.

[@spacezoomer]

Any chance of a Japan-only Game Boy Advance video? I’d love to see something like that and I seem to remember you being a fan of the console.

[@theuglykwan]

oh that challenger game, i used to love watching that show. the zany challenges they had were so japanese. now i know the title to search for!!

[@xHedSplttrx]

Flying Dragon was my favorite fighting game

[@SeaTK610]

There's a physical copy of sin and punishment for the Wii I had it once! I don't even think it's that rare.

[@SonofSethoitae]

That was the sequel, Sin and Punishment: Star Successor

[@bedwablackburn]

Aaaand now when I eventually get an N64 flash drive I now have even more games to look at.

[@arturius7462]

Nice video as always. Sad we never got the N64 version of animal crossing : ( The puyo puyo party also seems to rock. But luckily, emulation exists. PS :what's your favorite pokemon game? I love this franchise so I would like to have your opinion.

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

Red and Blue followed by Gold and Silver!

[@endochronic_]

Just found out abou this channel through the No Mercy video lmao, now I'm hooked up and then this video came up daamn, lmao

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

Welcome aboard! That is the only video I have made recently that has found a decent size audience, so I plan on making a Smackdown one shortly!

[@edhc44]

I'm weirdly interested in that train game

[@Mechtrekica]

I had the first Hudson NJPW game, and it was okay. You did submissions with analog stick, I still prefer Toukon Retsuden 3 as far as Yukes wrestling games.

[@ASwagPecan]

they got so lucky with all the wrestling titles

[@Big5mokE719]

I noticed a mouse curser in the corner on one of the animal forest screens.... Emulators mr top hat?!?!... Lol jk a lot of these games get expensive I don't think any of us expect you to fork out the money for a bunch of them to make a 10 min video. Great video by the way keep it up

[@devingiles6597]

Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. Can you please do a video on Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game? It just recently been released on modern consoles and PC.

[@dwaynejohnson3660]

17:18 been playing this on my Doctor V64 back in 2000 men what a game!!!!

[@davy_K]

N64 Bangai O has a different scoring and powerup scheme so it's worth checking out even if you have played the DC version. It plays just as well on n64. I can also vouch for tetris64, S&P and Fire Electric Pen - splendid games.

[@zandco]

good video

[@leerunion519]

👏👏 Mr. 🎩 interesting thoughts and title. Wonder if Nintendo will change there minds and Rescue,Redesign and re-release the games as a way to boost sales and up brand appeal.. 🎉🎩🎉

[@KouD3Graw]

8:19 "yaaaya" lmao

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

Densha De Go is soooo hard with a standard controller. You have to be exact with your timing in general, but accelerating and braking with buttons is even harder

[@iansmith8783]

The train game 😂 so it’s basically a job simulator? 😂

[@maccyknife1]

It would be awesome if you could speed around corners and cause catastrophic train accidents.

[@Texkimo713]

Some job simulatora are pretty fun.like construction simluator or farm simulator

[@Mr.Wormsworth]

Consistent quality from you.

[@gibby22]

False info about Sin and Punishment, it also went to the Wii U and still available to purchase

[@ASwagPecan]

awesome titles

[@michaelsmulkowski5088]

I always wanted to play Wonder Project 64 which is on this list.

[@ElricSowrd]

I'm aware that Animal Crossing on Gamecube was originally Animal Forest from the N64 and Super Mario 64 Shindo Pak Taio Version. Reminds me of the DUAL SHOCK Versions of Resident Evil Director's Cut and RE2. And I read about how Train Simulators are since back in the 90's.

[@chaggydawg]

I thought that later Pokemon stadium 1 was released as Pokemon stadium 2 in US?

[@darthboxOriginal]

I've seen Sin and Punishment on the Wii U virtual console, I'm sure of it. And that is still up at the moment.

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

It is on there indeed. I purchased it there myself since making this video!

[@qwaH]

why mention the rumble pak enabled Mario 64 but not the rumble pak Wave Race?

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

Because this is my list of top 25 Japanese 64 games, I do not think that adding the feature to wave race is quite as iconic as Mario.

[@qwaH]

fair enough, personally I always felt the feature fit better on Wave Race than shoehorned into Mario but each to their own

[@TheIllustriouBlueJay]

Why were Nintendo so obsessed with biometrics? Lol. First the N64 and then the Wii lol.

[@metalninjajesus1580]

Really wish these videos would stop feeling the need to talk shit about the N64. We get it. You owned PS1 and loved it. Cool. I subscribe to a lot of youtubers that clearly have a love for PS1 but it gets tiring hearing the digs at the system. I've been recently collecting PS1 games and while it's a good system , it's 3D has it's own issues and the loading takes getting used to.

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

I never even mentioned the Playstation in this video, so I am really not sure what the Playstation has to do with the Nintendo 64 having a low selection of games? The Sega Saturn had a lot more decent games released that generation than the 64 too which I have pointed out in the past. I often comment on the limits of the Playstation as well for example how it was underpowered when it came to 2D gaming, so in most instances, if a fighting game was released on the Playstation and Saturn, the Saturn version would be superior every time. But you are right, this is not the right channel to go to if you want someone to shower one-sided praise on any console. I will point out the flaws, I would rather my subscriber base were grounded in reality. For the record though I owned a Nintendo 64 before a PS1.

[@polycube868]

​@TopHatGamingManChannel how exactly is the PlayStation underpowered for 2D? I agree about fighting games being better on Saturn just based on the 6 button controller.

[@christophk1526]

THGM is the master of the salacious thumbnail

[@uhhh_adam]

Custom Robo was great. Tried playing the translation but it freezes after the credits on emulators haven’t tried on a console yet. Anyone deal w this? Not sure how to unlock everything

[@andystone3102]

Anyone know the game at 0:03 with the cool little tank? Looks fun.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

Pokemon Stadium 2 was definitely the best, feel bad for the Japanese who only had 40 Pokemon to play with, that's just sad.

[@FenexDragonis]

Nushi tusuri 64 sounds like the reboot of legend of the river/sea king on the gbc

[@newageBoundhippie]

I think that's exactly what it was, an N64 entry in the River/Sea King series

[@backloggamereviews]

Its not Nintendos fault if a game that they didn't make didn't get a release outside of Japan. Its the fault of the company that made the game. Its also not being selfish to release a game only in Japan. They probably didn't think it wouldn't sell well or didn't have enough money to fund an international release.

[@sonnieeastham3816]

Do you know if you can play Japanese games on a Uk N64?

[@pigs18]

I suspect there's a similar case to the North American version in that the region lock is simply a cosmetic difference with the cartridge. If you take the back of a Japanese cartridge off and swap it with the back of a US cartridge it will fit into the system and play fine. But I don't know how the NTSC/PAL issues work out.

[@N64Gamer77]

Try the Passport Plus III adapter. Bit pricey these days though, cheaper (and better) buying an NTSC N64
