Nope. Once you get the controls down they should only take 2-4 tries each.

Good God I forgot how hard Blast Corps gets. Mostly just because you're fighting the controls.
I have very fond memories of paintball mode in Goldeneye - I noticed I was unlocking cheats after each mission in PD, but the menu layout is somewhat confusing so I didn't even bother to look for them. I've read that they disable achievements too, so I probably wouldn't mess with them for that reason alone. It's still an awesome relic of the N64 glory days, though - it's such a shame that cheat codes rarely exist in modern games now!The cool thing about Goldeneye and Perfect Dark is that you unlock cheats when you do certain challenges or beat the games on a certain difficulty. It's very fun to just mess around with the cheats once you unlock them. I still do that when I play one of those games on my n64 these days. The replay value is amazing.
No way! I'm sure I would get slaughtered many times over on the way to the finish - I don't have the patience for retrying missions over and over. Don't get me wrong - the concept of layered objectives based on difficulty is fantastic and is a unique enough concept that it should definitely be far more common today - it's just not my particular cup of tea in this case since there are no mission checkpoints.

As someone that hasn't played both is there any reason to not skip straight to Trouble in Paradise instead of playing the first Viva Piñata?

Nintendo is so proud of the game that they let 8-Bit Mario pop up in one of the games trailers XD!
To be serious, I agree with you
Back when this trailer for Nuts & Bolts came out, there were many Nintendo fans that were offended by the fact that Mario got beheaded by Banjo and Kazooie in the trailer. They were saying stuff like, "How could Rare do this?! How could they disrespect Mario/Nintendo?!", etc. It's petty funny reading some of the old threads and reading the overreactions.
Call of Duty 4 had some cheats that were pretty fun, but they didn't have any cheats in any of the other CODs that came after for some reason. :/
It's the continue option.
Think I ran into a bug in JFG, need help. Early in the game where you destroy a switch on the wall to drop electric barriers on cells holding several tribals and Vela. Only one of the barriers dropped, leaving everyone else trapped.
Vela has the key and I can't get to her, so I'm not sure what to do.

Just beat Banjo-Koozie. Forgot about the 9 music notes that you could miss in Rusty Bucket Bay. Going to play Conker to relax before Tooie.

Indeed! I remember back when I played through Nuts & Bolts on Xbox360 and absolutely loving it, I then watched Jontron's review on YouTube and unsubscribed to his channel afterwards, he treated it like the worst game ever lol... I don't have time for closed minded individuals.

If you like getting achievements it's easier to get all them in the first game. If not then go right into Trouble in Paradise.
But there is, isn't there? At least Inverted Aim... I haven't played it yet so I'm not sure if there's a distinction there.

What does it change or improve?
Oh, huh. That's confusing as hell, wow.
And PDZ controls are polar opposite. Feels super heavy and bogged down even when I crank sensitivity up.

There is other panels in the other rooms prior. Have to shoot those to unlock more.

No drastic changes. Added pinatas and other little stuff added. It's been a while.

Pushing the right stick to the right when not aiming sidesteps right, and the camera gently pivots left so it matches the way the character is facing.
But the fun of Battletoads is conquering the challenge. It's not dying, rewind, dying, rewind, and basically skipping over the challenge. Unless you give it a real try (not using rewind), how would you know there are plenty of better games? I think of Battletoads on NES the same way people think of Dark Souls for the last generation. Would you want to rewind over every death in Dark Souls? There would be no point to playing it then.
No, Battletoads was a crap game back when we didn't have rewind. It's not worth playing without it.
What a stupid post.
It didn't become hugely popular when it came out because it was a crap game. It's certainly one of the best games on NES and one of the best Rare titles.
It became popular purely because that kind of thing was in at the time. It's basically Ninja Turtles in space with random bits of grossout humour for good measure. It was honestly never even that popular. Just kind of memorable.
Sorry your favourite game is garbage, though.

Real sad to hear about the issues with Nuts and Bolts. Really like that game.
Well, BC is still in beta, so I have hope that it will be ironed out soon enough. I'm replaying BK and then will replay Tooie beforehand

More pinatas, items, new areas (desert and snow). Trouble in Paradise is definitely the better game. If you plan on playing both anyways, I'd play them in order. If you play the second one first, you probably aren't going to like the first one as much when you finally finish the second one.

You gotta play Live and Reloaded. The RR version has really, really bad emulation. I hope it gets a patch. Banjo runs flawlessly and looks amazing... Conker is a mess.
This collection has turned more people on to Viva Pinata and Nuts and Bolts. That's a long overdue thing! So many people bashed the games without trying them.
Gotta have N&B's emulation cleaned up though. I'm personally discovering Kameo and it plays flawlessly!
Banjo-Kazooie is a proper port to 360 so naturally it runs better than the emulated N64 games like Conker.
I'm kiiiiind of looking forward to giving Nuts & Bolts a try after finally playing Tooie. It's right there on my hard drive so I might as well.

Yeah I still like a lot of jontrons stuff, but he essentially turned a generation of people, the YouTube generation away from this game because it's "noooot theeee sammmeeee!!!" And it's now become the de facto response video for idiots who are too close minded to try the game and form their own opinions, damn shame too, something tells me the Minecraft generation would love this game.

It's a proper port... To another console that the X1 is emulating. I feel like we got kinda lucky it's as good as it is. I'd love to see Live and Reloaded given the Ghoulies treatment. (and additional censorship removed) 1080p / 60. I'd pay for that. Surely MS intends to keep patching core games in the collection though. No excuse for those N64 emulators not to work perfectly eventually.
Aw man, Perfect Dark Zero! It's been so long since I played it. I wonder why I have residual negative feelings...
*Very first level*
"Hey Joanna, shoot that spider bot*
*Press stick to look at spider bot*
Time and eternity passes me by, and the heat death of the universe is but a distant memory in the annals of infinity
*Joanna finally looks at the spider bot*
...oh yeah, the one game that rivals Heavenly Sword and Enslaved in goddamned input lag. No. Hell no. Fuck THAT.

This game is a pain. It's been an hour now searching for the last piece. I dig the design of everything though, must have been a trip to play this back in the day.
Just finished the snapshots
Here's a great map that tells you the possible spots of the amulet. It took me maybe 20 minutes following this map and I got all the achievements/stamps from that play through.
Really good map

I'm surprised you haven't heard it before. He's ugly now.
^^^^Nice! A CGI N64 Conker vs an in-game XB Conker! Totally fair comparison!^^^^

What? It's the same thing. New Conker looks like a hobo on the throne.

Is there a way to change Conker's controls? The left and right movements feel backwards.

Bought an Xbox One for this. Couldn't resist. Have played every game from Blast Corps onwards EXCEPT Conker so I'm playing that first (it's amazing so far). Haven't ever played ANY of the old stuff except Battletoads so which of those should I tackle first when I'm done with Conker? Anything that will blow me away?
