I actually got this at launch as a 10 year old kid because I was excited to get games that were compatible with the Rumble Pak which was fairly new at the time and still felt like an innovative experience....this ended up being the one Nintendo 64 game my Mom really liked to play and would even request to play it, so that was actually pretty nice.

[@TortureVisionTV]

The video portions of this game are quite impressive for the N64.

This has got a ton of FMV in it for a cartridge based game!

[@MrDmoney156]

I was gonna say the same exact thing!! lol i can't believe why no other third party developers tried this method like gametek and capcom did?

[@NintendoComplete]

+MrDmoney156 I don't know. If I had to guess, the game show games didn't really need any assets that took up space besides the stages and puzzles, so they used it to recreate the look of the show maybe? I think RE just had the benefit of the developers being able to beat the last bit out of power the console had to optimize compression routines, like how most systems' best looking games come out at the end of the system life when everyone is super familiar with the hardware. Like I said though, just a guess :)

[@ninjamaster3453]

indeed. mostly pre rendered stuff too? how large was the total cartridge?

[@NintendoComplete]

+Ninja Master I think it was one of the small carts, 32mb iirc? So that would make it 4megs total

[@NintendoComplete]

+Ninja Master I think the whole game is in mono as well

I actually thought this game captured that Wheel of Fortune era from April 1997 really good. Just wished they had an option of using the older puzzle board and better sound quality.

Wheel...of...Fortune!

[@Scottwilkie18]

0:34 thank you Charlie and welcome to big money week on wheel of fortune everybody The reason it’s called BIG money week is because whoever makes it to the bonus round will have a chance to win a guaranteed $25,000

[@Scottwilkie18]

¿Este juego es del programa de televisión "La ruleta de la fortuna en españa" y que ahora se llama la ruleta de la suerte?

[@Wesley_C]

Just without Pat Sajak. :P

[@TheDarkwingj]

Pat Sajak was never in any of the previous Wheel games because he didn't want to see his children looking at something he was advertising

[@Angie2343]

@@TheDarkwingj That's alright. Vanna does a great job hosting.

It's a great game, but... I guess they fudged some of the numbers on the wheel and made it a little too big, so they put in extra wedges and made errors on other spaces, and couldn't even get the rules right. 0:47 - That $300 after the Bankrupt should be $350 instead. It should also be orange instead of red. 1:56 - You shouldn't be able to buy vowels if all the vowels in the puzzle have been called. Usually contestants are told there are no more vowels. 2:01 - Off the right edge of the screen, you can see a pair of errors with the spaces next to the Lose A Turn. The violet $300 should be $200, and the red $400 should actually be $450. 2:54 - More errors. The $550 should still be $200, the $500 should still be $150, and the $350 (should be tan instead of purple) should still be $200. 3:15 - The $800 should still be a $150. 6:13 - That pink $300 closer to the Lose A Turn should be a violet $150. 6:35 - The $10,000 space is considered a prize- you land on it, call a letter, and you get to pick it up. It shouldn't get added to the Jackpot because it's considered a prize wedge and not a regular money wedge. They managed to not screw anything up on the 4th-round wheel. 15:33 - no prize selection for the Bonus Round, just a flat $25k for winning. Usually you picked from five envelopes, each with a different prize inside, at random to determine your top prize. I love the game, it got hours of playtime, but they messed up a lot of things that should have been really, really obvious to not screw up in the first place.
