Thread 11969603

Let's have a comfy thread about the N64, the cartridge-based powerhouse of the 5th generation.

1)Majora
2)OOT
3)Mario 64
4)Sin and punishment
5)Banjo kazooie

Every time you fire in Perfect Dark something happens. Even if you just hit a wall, there's sparks, smoke and dynamic lighting. Such an immersive game.

Only Nintendo and Rare made good games for it.

>>11969641
Turok games are good.

>>11969643
They really aren't it's just nostalgia.

>>11969641
And Treasure

Lucasarts made good n64 games wtf

>>11969638
There are some levels when you shoot all the lights in a room, it becomes pitch black and you can only see things with muzzle flash or night vision.

>>11969603 (OP)
Good wholesome fun

>>11971657
kek gottem, talk about an overrated fucking game, albeit fun.

I got a gamecube because of how good the n64 was for FPS games, and boy was I disappointed. That gay barney block collected dust after I tired out rogue squadron II.

>>11969603 (OP)
I was an N64 only kid and the library was so dire it singlehandedly got me into retrogaming (NES)

>>11972712
They wanted it to look like a starfighter

Every N64 game I've beaten so far:

>God Tier
Castlevania
Castlevania - Legacy of Darkness
Goemon's Great Adventure
The World Is Not Enough
Duke Nukem 64
Ridger Racer 64

>High Tier
Beetle Adventure Racing
Duke Nukem - Zero Hour
Doom 64
Hexen 64 (probably the best way to play Hexen until sourceports)
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Quake II
The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time
Perfect Dark
Goldeneye

>Good Tier
Quake
Quest 64
Bomberman 64
Resident Evil 2 (worst version of RE2)
Super Smash Bros
Turok 2 - Seeds of Evil
Turok 3 - Shadow of Oblivion

>Low Tier
Daikatana
The Legend of Zelda - Majora's Mask

I also have a bunch on stuff on my to play list including Shadow of the Empire which looks just like my jam except every emu I've tried to run it so far on makes it lag. Indiana Jones and Shadow Gate 64 might be good too, as well as Jet Force Gemini, Sin & Punishment and Mischieft Makers (maybe) and Wave Race 64
I really don't give a shit about Mario 64 or SMK 64, every time I try them I ended up hating them. Not interested in the trendy so called "3D platformers" that don't involve any platforming at all but maybe one day I'll check out.

>>11973850
Looks like I forgot to include Turok (1), that goes in High Tier

What did Nintendo of Japan mean by this?

>>11973850
>Castlevania and Goemon's Great Adventure that high
>Majora's Mask that low
Mein nigger.

>>11969603 (OP)
video games never felt as magical and promising as the n64 did as a 90s kid
I ended up liking the ps1 the most of any console, but the n64 was more special at the time, I think

>>11973850
>Low Tier
>The Legend of Zelda - Majora's Mask
God what a shit game. Easily the worst Zelda game I have ever played.

>>11969629
>Sin and Punishment, not Star Fox 64
>BK, not BT
Just kill yourself tonite

People talk about how perfect Star Fox 64 is, but I never hear people talk about how it was perfect for a rental game.

With something like Zelda, you'd just pick up someone else's save file. But Star Fox? Every playthrough is only one sitting, and the arcade style high score system means you'd be comparing yourself to every other person in your general vicinity who rented that particular cartridge. It's an experience you could only really have if you lived int he time of video stores, Zoomers who emulate can't know this experience.

>Anon is retard coded

Anyone had issues with Doom 64's saves?
Every time I save the game it gets corrupted, I'm using the Rev 1 version on a ED64+ flashcart.

Was the Nintendo 64 the ultimate multiplayer machine?

I got these today. I've already gotten 3 dollars of fun out of Nascar 99 and Mario is Mario

Why has nobody else posted their collection yet? I used to have 10 more games, but I had money problems a few years back and had to sell some of them. I'm trying to remember what they all were. I had...
WCW/NWO World Tour
Rampage World Tour
Pokemon Stadium
Vigilante 8
Perfect Dark
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
WWF Attitude
I haven't really felt the need to reacquire any of those again, though Vigilante 8 is the one that would tempt me the most.

>>11973850
Typical contrarian.

I've been trying for HOURS to get ParaLLEl Launcher's pre-packaged installation of RetroArch (It's in AppData\Local) to load shaders and something somewhere is hard-disabling the feature to the point where it didn't even let me enable the feature until I replaced it with the latest nightly build. Very rarely I will actually get it to fully load CRT Royale but then ParaLLEl Launcher just resets it all. What do I do and who is responsible for this?

I recently got back into the n64. It’s pretty fun. So far I’ve played a ton of f-zero, star fox, NWO world tour, and hybrid heaven. I’m surprised how much I’ve been enjoying it all. What are some of you guys recs?

Tooie or Kazooie?

>>11979918
Both.

For me it's

>>11979918
I overall prefer Tooie but it is a much more flawed experience with higher highs but also lower lows. Kazooie on the other hand is much easier to replay and doesn't require as much investment.

>>11973850
Is duke 64 better than duke 3d for msdos?

>>11978959
Not being able to load shaders on PL + NSO N64 controller sucking ass in SM64 is making my strength waver, bros...

This has to be one of the best looking games on the system. I have no idea why no one talks about this.

>>11982932
Speedlore (Rwhitegoose) just released ep2 on this game 1 hour ago.

>Was the Nintendo 64 the ultimate multiplayer machine?
Undoubtedly.

>>11975664
I unironically grew up walking downtown to the video store with my sister to go rent movies and N64 games. Unfortunately high scores went right over my head.

I fucking beat Donkey Kong Country yesterday. Shit shit wait

>>11975664
For me, it's The New Tetris.

>>11982965
>Speedlore (Rwhitegoose)
Isn't that guy a neonazi?

>>11982932
I talk about it all the time

>>11982701
Nah, but the extra weapons like the grenade launcher are tons of fun

>>11982965
Surprisingly good vid. Earned a sub from me.
