Can we talk about how fucking amazing Cave Story is? And Super Meat Boy god damn.
Don't forget Mirror's Edge.
That was really fucking uncomfortable.
That's not Bill and Ted.

Man, even if the N64's library doesn't hold a candle to the Playstation or other platforms, you still missed out on quite a few gems.I only had like 5 games on the N64. DK64, both Zeldas, Kirby 64 and Paper Mario.
Amazing with severe flaws, yes.Don't forget Mirror's Edge.

I actually do like parody stuff, but it seems to go for it from a more childish, crass type of humor that's a little off putting. I'll check it out sometime though.
You're not THAT "Mature", just play it, you'll have a great time.

I didn't even see any PS1 games for years. I used to not know what the console even looked like. Being a babby I'm surprised I grew up with a SNES and playing a friend's Genesis, but the whole N64/PSX era is foreign to me.Man, even if the N64's library doesn't hold a candle to the Playstation or other platforms, you still missed out on quite a few gems
That's super different, but fuck yeah. That game has some of my favorite visual design ever.Don't forget Mirror's Edge.
Fair enough. I trust your opinion.You're not THAT "Mature", just play it, you'll have a great time.

First Person Platforming is pretty hard. I give DICE credit for making it work though.
Honestly, my 100% run of dk64 is still one of my proudest achievements. Love the shit outta that game despite all its length and jank. Yet for some reason, conker was the only rare franchise I couldn't get into. Only got up to that damn level where you were the bat, and then got frustrated with the controls and quit. Plus that caveman bar puzzle was the absolute worst. Though, in hindsight, unless someone can back me up on these parts, it might have been just me.

Yes, but that game's combat and scenarios where it forces you into that stuff drags it down, especially with the level design getting weaker as the game goes on. Chapter 1 is where that game peaks.First Person Platforming is pretty hard. I give DICE credit for making it work though.
Great concept though, and they did execute on the movement quite well.

And for Conker, well, that was just you. Though admittedly you stopped at the chapter right before where it gets exceptionally difficult.

No Conker legit had some shit areas. The game has a lot of variety, at the cost of polishing those areas due to them having so many of them.

If I remember right the last third of the game just goes absolutely bananas mechanically, starting right where you stopped. Like it becomes a full-on shooter at one point.
Personally I think Conker's great except for the gameplay.

Absolute favorite game on the N64 is Sin & Punishment. Playing it several years after the fact it still blew my goddamn mind.
Mischief Makers and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon also kick tons of ass.

You didn't even experience the one hit kill RE movie lazers of frustration.

Yeah, you really remember it when you stop playing that's for sure, but it really doesn't make for a smooth playing experience. There are probably so many parodies in the game that they tried to fit everything in.

Pretty much my top 10 N64 games in no real order.
Well, everything seems to be in order here. Moving alo-
Wait. Did you just list MP1?
Did you have goddamn leather-hands or something?
Assuming you do, I guess I could see it.
You know, I actually tried calling that glove-line the other day, just to see if it was still up. I kinda thought that it was forever like the rick flair or the space jam website. That day was a sad day indeed.

What are you talking about.
How long has it been since you played the tug-of-war or shy guy paddle mini-games? They used to be so rough(permanently damaging, even) on people's hands that nintendo got sued super hard over it, and had to set up a hotline that would provide free fingerless gloves to people who owned mario party 1. This is also the reason they phased out those minigames after the first game.
I kind of miss the Pokémon Stadium series. Sure Battle revolution was pretty much garbage compared to it, and it might be a little redundant because the models are in 3D. But I wouldn't mind being able to see the pokemon and arena's in Hd. Considering Gamefreak hates the idea of allowing us to pick our on arena.

He's talking about how some minigames using the N64 analog killed people's hands, and how Nintendo had a support line to give kids gloves to play it.What are you talking about.

The one plus of battle revolution is that you could mod in your own music, project m style.

And I think I'll also revisit the Goemon speedrun from the last SGDQ, that one was entertaining. Goemon's so good.

That was nice. Of course if they actually had the battle frontier in OR/AS then a Stadium game would actually not be needed anymore...too bad they are saving that for DLC for some reason.

Yeah, if you wanted to beat minigame island, you had to risk it all. Especially if you failed, and had to retry. It was flat-out dangerous.
Well I played FF and Medieval too as a kid, I had my N64 and PSX set up side by side pretty often.All this talk of N64, and here I am with my PSX and my King's Fields and my Final Fantasys..and my Medievals..

I never played the game but even I know that, it was notorious for it. I think it was one of the mini games where you rotate the stick with your palm.
There were a bunch of N64 Games that required that, what was the issue?I never play the game but even I know that, it was notorious for it. I think it was one of the mini games where you rotate the stick with your palm.

I dunno, I guess the length of the minigame? It caused serious injuries to people.

Basically people would put their palm on the hard plastic of the 64 controller and go extremely fast against their friends, and it would start wearing the skin down.

Got blisters on the palm of my hand specifically on the rowing boat mini game.

Wait, so this wasn't even a Nintendo issue, but an issue of Kids being stupid?
They deserved nothing, take a goddamn break from the game if you're hurting your hands playing it, it's not rocket science.

I never really cared for Spyro but I played through the Crash games again not all that long ago, they were still really enjoyable.

Not even, though. Just beating the coms, especially in hard mode, in the 3 v 1 bowser tug of war was absolutely atrocious.

I recently played through Crash 1, that game is actually somewhat challenging if you're not decent at platformers. It maybe the lack luster controls though.
Because we were kids and didn't know any better. They aren't bad games at all, just not as good as what most people who grew up with them think they are.Can confirm. Went back to both of them recently, and wondered how I ever thought these games were amazing.
Would still play on the Vita. Damn you, SCEA.

Nothing is more satisfying than winning Mario Party through dumb luck and people getting salty. It's amazing. I love those games.
The some of the mashing games are super fun, I can think of a bunch of time when me and friend would be neck and neck in our mashing speeds. It's simple and luck based, but damn it's fun.
I actually played a ton of Mario Party 5 Singleplayer against computers. I just love those mini games.
