I listen to a lot of these and it's rare to find a mix where I haven't already heard 80% of the tracks. Nice selections (and original productions!). Ethereal
I miss those good times, my brain knows better, it knows the HD, the 4K, the 60 FPS, but I will never forget those good times where I went to my friends, sat on the carpet, and played smash bros, mario 64, and zelda!
@Some Random Guy I'm with you. I finish a modern game and I'm done with it forever. But 20 years later and I'm still playing NFL Blitz, F-Zero, San Francisco Rush, 1080, Wave Race, etc.
This brought back so many awesome memories. I remembered it was my 9th birthday and my dad pulled a wrapped box from the closet. My mind was racing trying to figure out what it was. As I unwrapped it I immediately saw the huge green "N" in the corner and I couldn't contain my excitement. My parents didn't have a lot of money at the time and I connected the dots on why my dad was having to work late for a few months leading up to my birthday. My parents couldn't afford to buy me games and one of the gifts from my mom was a wrapped Blockbuster bag with Super Mario 64 rental for a week. Everyday that entire week coming home from school I raced to finish my homework, inhaled my dinner, then spent the last 3 hours of my night playing Super Mario until my bedtime. I used all of my birthday money from my family and did some yard work for the neighbors so that I could buy Super Mario 64 on my own after returning it to Blockbuster. A few more months of yard work I was able to afford Mario Kart 64. Friday nights were game nights and we would all play Mario Kart together. My mom got really good and my dad's favorite character to play was Yoshi. I love you mom and dad, thank you for the memories.
Thanks for that, buddy. I sincerely hope that you and your parents are doing well by today. I also remembered my good old days with my siblings and friends. We played it back in the late 2000's, a friend introduced it to me. I used to play it 2-hours/ day when not on school examination period, and then my sister after me, and then my brother after her. We got instanctly addicted to it, and after that, I introduced it to other friends who got all excited as well to play the game. Mario had a huge impact on our lives. And after that, a year later to be precise, I discovered my greatest passion in the gaming world: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I remember things such as getting with a ton of its music (Windmill Hut, Sun's Song and Forest Temple, for example) stuck into my head for hours; remember that me and my brother played it together and grew Link up on the same day. We were genuinely enraged against Ganondorf. I remember when I first headed to Lake Hylia with grown Link and exclaimed to my brother: "Look what this bastard did to the Lake!", and then to Zora's Domain, and everywhere else on the game... Thanks, God, for these days..
The first time I put Ocarina of Time into my N64 was the most magical experience. That main menu theme will always be special to me and all the 90's kids.
We have a full blind playthrough of OoT on the channel. It was so much fun watching Dustin experience the game all the way through for the very first time.
i dont think any generation can say they hold as much fond memories as any 90s child myself included this music brings a tear to my eye ....simpler times they were
I have a distinct first memory of Ocarina of Time. My older brother got it for his birthday and I remember the first time I saw that opening cutscene. I had just turned 5, but still I remember it so vividly. Good times...
Most definitely. SO MANY great memories listening to that tune. It always takes me back to being a kid when my imagination was running wild everytime I listen to it. I was around maybe 8 years old when I played that game for the first time, I'm 36 now and still to this day I consider Ocarina Of Time to be the best game ever created.
I miss these days...no worries, no stress, no real cares. Just a time where you could actually relax and enjoy life. I remember the smell of my room, the joy I felt, and the stress free environment. I so wish I could go back and stay there...if only...if only... Feeling the wind blow through my bedroom window, the sounds in the room, the smell of food my mom is cooking and hearing the noises from outside.
those of us who actually look back and say we had a good childhood, good parents; we're a fuggin rare commodity these days. Its like its fashionable now, to compete for how bad you had it growing up
My mother passed away a few weeks ago.. she bought me my first n64 and drove around trying to find me 007 at blockbuster, I miss these days and her. We have explored the realm of fantasy together and share in the common memory of our own never land. Edit:Though we may never return to that time, we can close our eyes for a moment and let the music bring us back. I appreciate everyone’s love and support, it means a lot.
They just don't make video game music like this anymore. Crazy how this music can teleport me back to my childhood just like when that skinny guy from Ratatouille tried Remi's food for the first time.
Nya, I say that today is "The good old days" too. We have to make the most of them before we miss them too. The difference between 2020s and the 90s is that now we are the ones who make the world the way it is. Let's make it as fun, crazy, and cool as we can! :D
For more than three (3) years, this playlist kept me company all throughout law school, especially during the pandemic, up until now.. now that I am reviewing one last time, this time on the day before the last day of our bar exam. Thank you because I realized that I was not facing all of this alone. I will never forget what you do. Pretty sure this account will be deactivated after a period of time, so I hope this comment finds you well.
This is when video games were made for enjoyment, and relaxation. No DLC, microtransactions, intentionally addictive qualities to make you waste your life and your money; just pure enjoyment. These will always be the golden age of video games in my eyes. ❤
I am 33 right now, I cant describe how I would like to go back and have all those feelings again with my friends, I do not feel any magic anymore playing games nowdays. When we get older it seems that all the good tastes are disapearing
@@matadordeleoes You can find the same joy in other aspects of life tho! Just be curious again, cause that was what gave us those Feelings as kids! Love n Peace! What is something you Always wanted to do but didnt up til now? Do it!
@Joeh Productions I agree, we haven't quite tapped into it yet. VR is gaining momentum now that it's affordable. Wait until we start using gloves, boots and belts for it, the experience will just get better depending on the directions it goes.
I remember being so impressed when the percussion dropped in and out depending on whether you were in or out of the water. A simple touch but simply magical.
I remember being so impressed by the music that I actually avoided doing that level because it made me feel some type of way that can definitely be called melancholic.
I got to go see The Legend of Zelda Symphony recently and it brought me to tears. Felt self-conscious for a moment until I looked around to see half the audience tearing up as well. Caught me off guard. So many good games from the SNES and 64 era. I was the prime age for all of it at the time
Moments like this make me realize I shouldn't have ever said I wanted to grow up. We all take time for granted and never truly live in the moment until we realize that its too late
Man, Dire, Dire Docks… Always takes me back to my childhood days spent playing Super Mario with my mom and my brothers. It transports me to hot summer days, the a/c is on full blast, and we’re all together for those few hours when we sat around the tv, taking turns playing that wonderful game. How much has changed since then. We’re all separated now, either by distance or just sad, unfortunate circumstances. I hope those days were just as memorable and comforting for my family as they were for me. I miss you guys.
Goldeneye, Resident Evil 2, Donkey Kong 64, Mario Kart 64 - this shit kept me GROUNDED. I'll never forget the bliss, peace, bonding and fun I experienced playing video games in the Irish countryside during the 90s.
Listening to Star Fox almost made me cry. I played that game a lot when I was a kid, back when things were okay in my family. So much has changed since then. Would be nice to be a kid again.
Star Fox hit me too bro. More than any other song on this. I played that game a ton and I immediately recognized the tune when it came on even though my phone was locked. We would have been friends as kids 😁
Bruh, Zelda got me man...That game my grandfather introduced me to back on the Nes, I think the N64 was the last Zelda he played and enjoyed. =[ Miss him so much, ugh!!
@@phazonpirate5689 not my first one but definetly the one that got me hypnotised ! the music is graved in my soul forever ! i wonder if without the music i would have enjoyed the game the way i did....MARIO 64 TOO
This reminds me of getting up early on Saturdays and firing up the N64, no school, procrastinating on homework 🙃, going to get groceries, having a home cooked meal from mom, going back to gaming all day and not having to worry about bills, work, and adulting. Back in the good ole innocent days. 🥲
That´s a more understandabIe reason to miss the oId days, but i stiII want to say, even as an aduIt you can Iive a happy Iife and have IittIe to no worries! You *can* give your own Iife meaning aII you want and NO ONE and NOTHlNG can stop that😊❤️
why... am i crying. oh yeah, because im an adult now and i dont have friends to play video games with anymore lol. Zelda title screen did it for me. ugh miss hangin out in my friend's basement playing N64 at 3am, eatin ramen noodles, trying to stop the microwave before the timer went off and woke up her parents...
DK 64 will always have a special place in my heart even though I know it was an uncreative cash grab built on the Banjo Kazooie engine. I received this game in the fall of 1999 when it came out. My brother was 11 and I was 7. I used to watch him play this game in our basement on our old Zenith tv. It was from the 80s but our Dad somehow rigged an N64 up to it using a VCR, I honestly was too young to remember how the setup came to be. Anyway we made it all the way to Hideout Helm but ended up getting stuck since we didn't have the rare coin. My brother heard from a friend then that you needed to beat the arcade game in Frantic Factory to get it. He never did end up beating the arcade game and eventually we moved on to different games. Fast forward to 2010 and he died in a car crash so he never will get to beat the game. In 2014 I plugged in the same N64 and started a new file on the same cartridge. I finally beat it for the two of us at age 23.
your story is moving. personally i never got past that part of the game either .. those arcade games were no joke. im happy you decided to go back & complete it for the memory & honor of your late brother .. im sure he was right there w you cheering you on :) god bless. 🙏🏼
Holy shit.. that's almost exactly what happened with me. Me and my older brother could never beat that stupid mini game as kids, and he passed in 2013 in a car accident. I finished the game very shortly after his passing, but Im sad just thinking about it cuz I used to yell for him anytime I beat anything big/significant in the game, and I still wanted to when I finished that damn game.. Dk64 was so iconic to us, especially since we had that green dk64 edition console. We wore that thing to the ground.. and the amount of controller thumbsticks that were broken. Lots of memories with it all. This has honestly been the only time I got emotional reading/writing something online. I'm truly sorry to hear you had a similar experience, but I appreciate you saying something. It brought back alot of memories, I just wish it didn't have to happen this way.
You don't miss those years because they were better than today, you miss those because you were a child. You didn't have any responsibility, you didn't even have to think about what you'd have for dinner. We should be thankful that we had this kind of childhood, many were not as lucky as we were.
This is so bitter sweet to me... like, it brings me such fuzzy nostalgic comfort but at the same time my soul is weeping over the loss of those childhood days. There’s no going back. Ever. And it hurts so bad. Anyway, thank you so much for this. The music selection and your custom made background is incredible. I hope you know how moving this video is to myself and so many others.
I listened to this whole video while cleaning my house. I wanted something different. Not music of today. Not oldies. Not my favorites list. This popped up on suggestions and I said why not! This was perfect. Thank you!
@MEAT BASED VEGAN me too. When I used to play with the soundtrack ON, it scared me a lot, specially in the very first mission. And it's not a Resident Evil kind of game to scare anybody...it's all on the soundtrack
I get it, we look back and miss these days. Now I'm grown and a parent and I focus on making these moments for my family. Don't take it for granted, the pandemic has made it bad, don't forget to turn it around and make the best of it with those you still have. Stay safe out there and know that you are loved. Just like in games, don't give up. "CONTINUE? (Yes) No" You'll get it this time.
This is by far the best playlist to chill, work, throw yourself into the nostalgia realm. I'am 32 years old, with a lot of good memories from the n64 days, as today almost everyday working at home i listen to this soundtrack and i can focus and relax as i doing my work. I can't describe exaclty into words what is the feeling of confort and coziness. At this point in my life i have a wife and a 2 years son, very diferent from that time in my life that i didn't have to work or have responsabilities, but with this type of music i can feel the exact same familiar ambient that i have when i was a child. I found myself truly happy, because i have a family that i chosed to have, with the same vibe as those that i played n64 with my father and mom together, and a healthy relationship with my brother.
It's nostalgia. And this is a very healthy way of using it. Instead of longing for the past, you're appreciating what you used to have while also appreciating what you have now. That's what I do. I'm going to look back on my life now with the same nostalgia as I'm feeling for my N64 days. I'm in a very similar position as you. Mid 30s, 2 year old daughter.
so wholesome ;-; you gonna make me cry music is powerful, it can store some of the most irreplacable memories and feelings. i'm glad to live at a time where so many adventures from my childhood can be saved in a touching song or two. peace and love to you and your family!
I remember growing up and just sitting in my oldest brother’s room watching him play Zelda on the original Nintendo then Link to the past on the SNES. When Ocarina of Time came out, it was finally his turn to watch me play. Some weekends after he comes home from work, he’ll ask me to play so he could watch. Crazy how fast time goes by.
It's Friday night. You've finished your homework and chores and have the whole weekend to spend playing your N64. Your mom lets you invite some friends over for the night(s) and orders pizza for you. You all take turns playing your favorite games, or you play some games together. Or maybe you were the type to play video games alone as a way to escape the harsh, bitter world, immersing yourself into another to forget and smile. All the same, no system could truly illustrate these quite like the N64. Thank you for the nostalgia trip.
Those N64 classic soundtracks really makes me feel a 7 years old boy again. The feels... The time that people still loved each other. Thanks for uploading, much appreciated.
Wasn't expecting to get hit this hard in the feels this morning. tostino pizza rolls - kool aid- chips- sitting on the carpet playing super nintendo and n64.. good times! no ....... AMAZING times!!!!!!
Holy fudge this takes me back! This background reminds me of Friday and Saturday nights when my mom let my brother and I's friends over for a sleepover. They would bring their N64 controllers and we would be up until midnight playing Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash Bros, Pokemon Stadium, Didddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo Tooie multiplayer, and Goldeneye. Man I miss the 90s...
The production of this video is so awesome. Anyone can post a song to TH-cam, but this “cozy room” sets the vibe and the subtle animations add a lot to the experience. Beautiful. And I’m sure a lot of work to put it all together.
All the Zelda songs are so majestic and mysteriously beautiful. Any game with a soundtrack this well composed is bound to go down in history - amazing.
That zora's domain song, I remember walking into for the first time as a kid and felt like I was truly immersed in a game, nothing has compared ever since. What a life man.
Dude, Im a 2000's kid. Never had a Nintendo64, but I do understand how amazing this is. The nostalgia that this brings to people its a sentiment so precious, that even thought I do not share it with the Nintendo64, I do feel it with the PS2, and other stuff of course. This give me chills, and its amazing
Fuck man, I miss those days, I hate being an adult, everything was so much simpler, all you needed was a small tv, your console, and hours of gameplay without internet, micro transactions, or life issues. If only there was a way to go back in time and relieve those happy days. Now I have all the consoles, the internet, my own money power to buy games, yet I only turn my consoles on once in a while... In the words of Andy Bernard from The Office - "I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them" :'(
I can't even count how many times I've listened to this playlist. As most of us here, I grew up playing the N64 and absorbing so many incredible songs that became a part of who I am. Even the songs from games I didn't play are somehow calming and nostalgic. I mean, look at all of us. Sharing memories and unique stories. Being brought together by one common thread. Never underestimate the power of nostalgia. Thank you New Games Plus for the best N64 music playlist, period. Not to mention the visual aid. Nice touch!
This might be a weird thought, but I think it’s crazy how grown ass adults made these songs and knew so well what younger people liked. Like someone maybe my age (36) sat down and knew exactly what to write and play to etch these memories into our skulls decades later. And they might not even know it today; they just went to work, knew they had a job to do and they did it. But it’s so much more for all of us. ❤ I dunno, I just find that fascinating.
I feel super lucky that I started to realize just how valuable childhood was while I was still in middle school. Still miss it just as much every day, but at the same time it's what keeps me going.
It seemed like so many classics video game composers really took the time to fully encompass the theme of the game to the score. Such an art, I hope their passion lives on and inspires new generations.
Comments like this Is one of the reasons I became a musician, In the first place. So many hours of awe inspiring music have been written for old school video games. Nothing against more modern and cinematic full blown orchestra being used nowadays, but It will never have the same tonal ambience of what those composers could get with those synth tones.
Damn you just took me back to Christmas 1996 sprawled out on the floor with my brothers playing N64. Thank you for making me feel something that I'd never thought I'd feel again.
While the nostalgia makes me hurt and long for those times I had as a child in the 90s and early 2000s, it's quickly replaced by an overwhelming feeling of gratitude that I had the opportunity to experience those years. Those years were as good as they could possibly get, and I'm so thankful for them.
The nostalgia I feel when listening to this is so powerful it brings me to tears. We live in dark times, and it's hard to keep from dwelling in the past.
We are the generation that were able to live through these game magical moments that will not be relived again. Other generation will have there own magical places and memories. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. :P
These are not dark times. Back when you were playing this someone somewhere was living a war, with no food, no one to help. This "dark times" BS...is just that...bs.
Swear to god, this video is getting me through my engineering degree and keeping me (somewhat) sane. It's the highlight of many of my days. I owe you one.
I miss... the simplicity.. how easy it was to be happy. All this makes me feel is regret... for how everything has turned out. Remorse. The Halcyon days of childhood that feels impossible to ever attain again.
I used to think of the past as the best days of my life, but now, watching my son play video games, I realize that these are the best years of my life.
Even if I didn't play the game when I was younger, there is just something about the way that N64 music sounds that hits me with nostalgia and makes me feel like a kid again. Pure magic.
Things brings me back to the simpler times -- no smart phones, no social media, just good ol' N64 with some friends while eating pizza on a Saturday night.
I'm 40, so I got to experience the golden age of gaming from the start and the N64 is still one of my favorite systems. It had some of the best damn games. I started to tear up a bit at the Donkey Kong 64 tracks. My sister and I put in so many hours on that game and we'd always leave our character in the main area if we needed a break, simply because the music is so calming. I didn't play all of these games, but a good majority of them. I was 14 when it came to the US and my mother got the bundle pack from Costco that came with Mario 64. That Xmas, the whole family sat in front of the living room TV to play it. I think my mom still has a poloroid of that day. Around the year 2001 or so, the Pikachu system was on clearance at TRU (rip) for $50, so I snagged one. I still have it. 💛 I wanna play my old games again. Emulators are great, but there will always be something irreplaceable and special about playing off those bulky cartridges and the rumble pack. And let's not forget the expansion pack you were forced to get in order to play DK64. My mom was so pissed. 😅 I'm always grateful to have grown up in the 80s and 90s. Amazing decades to be a kid.
I'm right there with you. It was something else. I forget how much the world has changed until I stumble across things like this and it takes you back to something beautiful.
@@lordbarberwigg oftentimes when I'm watching compilation vids of old 80s and 90s commercials or games, I get so lost in the nostalgia that I forget everything else around me. It feels like I'm a kid again watching TV or playing video games on the weekends or after school. Good times indeed.
Thank you SO much for this video. Nostalgia overload! As soon as i heard Dire Dire Docks I shed a tear. My dad (he passed away earlier this year) bought me and my brother (who is also gone) our N64 together with Mario 64, 1080, and Zelda Ocarina and I played the HECK out of it those games that night. It brings me back to those innocent days when I didn't have to worry or be anxious about the current terrible political climate. I played over 20 different games for the N64 including Banjo, Smash, Diddy Kong, goldeneye, and many many more. But the best experience i had was playing Mario Party with my brother and my Dad. I would almost never win and I was always upset when my brother picked Wario before me (he's my favorite character). But one day when we were playing I actaully managed to not only play as Wario, but also WIN the game against my brother and dad. I remember how happy I was that day and my dad and brother was cheering me on. One of the most memorable days from my childhood. i tried playing the new Mario Party on Switch the other day, but... sigh... It's just not the same. It's nowhere near as good as it was back in the day. Games were just so much better back then. Mario, Zelda, Pokémon. Nintendo could never make something as special as the N64 ever again. They were truly at the top with the N64 and no one could compete with them. I stopped playing video games many years ago. But if I ever play a video game again, I think I'm going to dust off the old N64 to play some Mario 64 tonight and I'll make sure to light a candle for my dad and brother beforehand. Thank you once again for this wonderful nostalgia video.
Man, Blue Resort for Bomberman 64 is taking me back. I remember the campaign game being really challenging but the multiplayer battle was incredible, especially with the customization options. That game was really ahead of its time and very underrated.
Amazing mix. I was born in 1997, and I never had a super huge library of N64 games. Most of these songs I don't have a memory of, but it's really comforting seeing all these people who do. Dire Dire Docks I knew right away (and it's also one of the few songs I can play on the piano). I remember being just 3 or 4 and having my dad help me play through Sm64, Ocarina of Tine, DK64, and many others. I even remember discovering Banjo-Kazooie when I was 10 and beating it myself. Great memories, super wholesome, and an incredible mix I come back to time and time again.
Cheers to 'New Game Plus' for making this. Almost brought a few tears to my eyes after reading these comments and listening to these nostalgic works of art. Serving in the Marines - you forget what it's like to be a kid again, but this brought me back. 🤘
Honestly DK isle is the one that hits the hardest for me. It feels so relaxing, and it reminds of the times when I would play the game for hours straight as a kid, all to get 101% percent by the end. In retrospect, this game was far from perfect, but it will always have a special place in my heart.
DK64 was truly an adventure. The game was so damn big its hard to comprehend how they even created it. A little too much collecting at times. But the animations, music, sounds, graphics were great. Loved it!
Being allowed to play Perfect Dark, Mario Kart and Zelda: Ocarina of Time after all of my homework was done. Oh the memories. Truly the best of times. 🥺😭😭
Only fun game I had was party and perfect dark, dark was prety cool with ram cart, played with my mum, shes prety good too. Perfect dark had some goodmusic too.
These are the games that defined my childhood. I almost can't watch this video because it raises such strong emotions in me, a whirlwind of memories, times both good and bad. I didn't have the easiest time growing up. But I am very, very thankful that when times got tough, I could turn on my Nintendo 64 and be comforted by my friends.

What is your favorite N64 track of all time? (2/2)
GoldenEye 007
Out of this list, it's On The Beach from Yoshi Story. I never beat or got to play much of the game, but that Steel Drum + Beat = Major Serotonin
i like Darkmoon Caverns - Diddy Kong Racing so chill!
49:43 Hang Glider Pilotwings 64.
Dire Dire Docks - Super Mario 64
I wish time got stuck on this era

It's really comforting knowing we all share such fond memories, even thousands of miles apart. Absolute magic.
WRONG. I do also share such magical fond memories; however I am not thousands of miles apart; I am currently hiding behind your couch
@@Nisaba57 oh no
💯
Cults feel the same way just saying kek.
And im also hidden in your closet.
We didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.
😭😭😭
Beautiful

love y’all 🥺
Why you making me cry
I listen to a lot of these and it's rare to find a mix where I haven't already heard 80% of the tracks. Nice selections (and original productions!). Ethereal
I miss those good times, my brain knows better, it knows the HD, the 4K, the 60 FPS, but I will never forget those good times where I went to my friends, sat on the carpet, and played smash bros, mario 64, and zelda!
Can't recreate some of those beautiful moments. But we can always remember them with fondness in our hearts!
Same feelings. That's why I mostly play with my old consoles and not the new ones.
Haven’t seen you in a while:)
Absolutely this. And trying to shove the joystick on your friends controller so they accidentally say no when offered a star on mario party XD
@Some Random Guy I'm with you. I finish a modern game and I'm done with it forever. But 20 years later and I'm still playing NFL Blitz, F-Zero, San Francisco Rush, 1080, Wave Race, etc.
This brought back so many awesome memories. I remembered it was my 9th birthday and my dad pulled a wrapped box from the closet. My mind was racing trying to figure out what it was. As I unwrapped it I immediately saw the huge green "N" in the corner and I couldn't contain my excitement. My parents didn't have a lot of money at the time and I connected the dots on why my dad was having to work late for a few months leading up to my birthday. My parents couldn't afford to buy me games and one of the gifts from my mom was a wrapped Blockbuster bag with Super Mario 64 rental for a week. Everyday that entire week coming home from school I raced to finish my homework, inhaled my dinner, then spent the last 3 hours of my night playing Super Mario until my bedtime. I used all of my birthday money from my family and did some yard work for the neighbors so that I could buy Super Mario 64 on my own after returning it to Blockbuster. A few more months of yard work I was able to afford Mario Kart 64. Friday nights were game nights and we would all play Mario Kart together. My mom got really good and my dad's favorite character to play was Yoshi. I love you mom and dad, thank you for the memories.
🥰
🥲
Well this gave me goosebumps. I'm happy you have such fond memories
♥
Thanks for that, buddy. I sincerely hope that you and your parents are doing well by today.
I also remembered my good old days with my siblings and friends. We played it back in the late 2000's, a friend introduced it to me. I used to play it 2-hours/ day when not on school examination period, and then my sister after me, and then my brother after her. We got instanctly addicted to it, and after that, I introduced it to other friends who got all excited as well to play the game. Mario had a huge impact on our lives. And after that, a year later to be precise, I discovered my greatest passion in the gaming world: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I remember things such as getting with a ton of its music (Windmill Hut, Sun's Song and Forest Temple, for example) stuck into my head for hours; remember that me and my brother played it together and grew Link up on the same day. We were genuinely enraged against Ganondorf. I remember when I first headed to Lake Hylia with grown Link and exclaimed to my brother: "Look what this bastard did to the Lake!", and then to Zora's Domain, and everywhere else on the game... Thanks, God, for these days..
Dire, Dire Docks is the PERFECT song to start this off with
Kind of just the perfect song period.
@baileysmithful to me is "water level", don't remember the names, dont care enought to remember them.
@@fernandomartin9190 I personally hate water levels.. But god damn do they usually have some of the best music.
I was seaching for this comment! :)
@baileysmithful Because that's what the actual track is called?
The first time I put Ocarina of Time into my N64 was the most magical experience. That main menu theme will always be special to me and all the 90's kids.
We have a full blind playthrough of OoT on the channel. It was so much fun watching Dustin experience the game all the way through for the very first time.
i dont think any generation can say they hold as much fond memories as any 90s child myself included this music brings a tear to my eye ....simpler times they were
I have a distinct first memory of Ocarina of Time. My older brother got it for his birthday and I remember the first time I saw that opening cutscene. I had just turned 5, but still I remember it so vividly. Good times...
Most definitely. SO MANY great memories listening to that tune. It always takes me back to being a kid when my imagination was running wild everytime I listen to it. I was around maybe 8 years old when I played that game for the first time, I'm 36 now and still to this day I consider Ocarina Of Time to be the best game ever created.
I played a demo of it in a JCPenny and spent 45 minutes before being pulled away by my grandmother. I later got it for Christmas that year. MAgic
I miss these days...no worries, no stress, no real cares. Just a time where you could actually relax and enjoy life. I remember the smell of my room, the joy I felt, and the stress free environment. I so wish I could go back and stay there...if only...if only... Feeling the wind blow through my bedroom window, the sounds in the room, the smell of food my mom is cooking and hearing the noises from outside.
those of us who actually look back and say we had a good childhood, good parents; we're a fuggin rare commodity these days. Its like its fashionable now, to compete for how bad you had it growing up
You have stress and worries now? What about?
If only
Damn, man. You're right.
On point man. 👌🏻
The first track was instant nostalgia
It hurts how much nostalgia I get
the 64dd bootup sound?
Fascinating.
I didn’t expect this video to hit me like that right from the go
Yes it really was..
My mother passed away a few weeks ago.. she bought me my first n64 and drove around trying to find me 007 at blockbuster, I miss these days and her.
We have explored the realm of fantasy together and share in the common memory of our own never land.
Edit:Though we may never return to that time, we can close our eyes for a moment and let the music bring us back. I appreciate everyone’s love and support, it means a lot.
I'm glad this playlist could bring back some fond memories. ❤️
dudee i'm so sorry, i don't know what to say.. :'( i can't imagine losing my mom
So sorry for your loss, Will.
She sounds like a good mom, I'm glad you have good memories to cherish. I hope you find peace
What a great memory ❤️
They just don't make video game music like this anymore. Crazy how this music can teleport me back to my childhood just like when that skinny guy from Ratatouille tried Remi's food for the first time.
I wonder if anyone who works for the government or FBI wish these games could make a comeback...... 🤔
You mean ego?
I was probably 11, or 12 when these songs were being engraved into my memory. I'm 35 now... Time flies.
Yes, yes it does. 🥲

“I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” - Andy Bernard
Nya, I say that today is "The good old days" too. We have to make the most of them before we miss them too. The difference between 2020s and the 90s is that now we are the ones who make the world the way it is. Let's make it as fun, crazy, and cool as we can! :D

@@NewGamePlusPodcast how thoughtful of you! Thank you so much once again, sending my best wishes and prayers for you guys
I've been listening to these tracks while working on my Master's Degree. They are helpful for sure.
This is when video games were made for enjoyment, and relaxation. No DLC, microtransactions, intentionally addictive qualities to make you waste your life and your money; just pure enjoyment. These will always be the golden age of video games in my eyes. ❤
not wrong man, back when publishers wanted nothing more then people to just enjoy themselves.
Yep. Youngens don’t know what they missed
Oof. Got me.
It was the end of an era. Our new era is all materialism and selfishness. The 90’s/early 2000 was the peak of modern society. Change my mind
1998-2001
The golden age of gaming.
Simpler times. I'm 31, I remember playing this back when I was around 7/8 years old. What a magical time. (super mario 64)
Same age as you. I'm feeling the same dude. SM64, OoT, MM, Banjo, GoldenEye, WaveRacer, Kirby, Conker, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong Racing, MK64, etc, etc.
@@Afreshio remember staying up late and playing 4 player goldeneye? So much fun
I am 33 right now, I cant describe how I would like to go back and have all those feelings again with my friends, I do not feel any magic anymore playing games nowdays. When we get older it seems that all the good tastes are disapearing
@@matadordeleoes You can find the same joy in other aspects of life tho! Just be curious again, cause that was what gave us those Feelings as kids! Love n Peace!
What is something you Always wanted to do but didnt up til now? Do it!
Same age here. Same exact experience 😊
"Nostalgia is the best, and the worst, emotion a human can experience."
there is a decline in modern gaming, it's not like how it used to be. having limitations created art. now games look beautiful but are empty
@Joeh Productions I agree, we haven't quite tapped into it yet. VR is gaining momentum now that it's affordable. Wait until we start using gloves, boots and belts for it, the experience will just get better depending on the directions it goes.
@Joeh Productions Witcher 3 might make you feel a little better about that.
@Joeh Productions I realized I meant to reply to Poopie Pants with the Witcher suggestion haha
Now that is the title for an essay worth reading!
There’s just an incredible melancholic feeling that I get when dire dire docks plays just unreal.
I remember being so impressed when the percussion dropped in and out depending on whether you were in or out of the water. A simple touch but simply magical.
I remember being so impressed by the music that I actually avoided doing that level because it made me feel some type of way that can definitely be called melancholic.
Yes!! That and Princess Zelda from Ocarina of Time
i miss the 90s. its been 30 years and so much has changed. everything is so stressful and the world is so ugly and dark. these were simpler times
Come off it. Make a brighter world with us.

Zelda Ocarina of Time - Song of Storms
My first thought when I heard Dire Dire Docks was "Man I just got punched in the face by nostalgia".
I miss playing the N64, whoever is feeling nostalgic I think we can agree we had the one of the best childhoods a kid could ever ask for.
I got to go see The Legend of Zelda Symphony recently and it brought me to tears. Felt self-conscious for a moment until I looked around to see half the audience tearing up as well. Caught me off guard. So many good games from the SNES and 64 era. I was the prime age for all of it at the time
No doubt!!!💖
I remember when it was new, playing Mario 64 at Target.
💯💯💯
I had a ps1 but yes can still relate to the feeling and memory of turning on the console and playing my heart out
The fact that so many people from the same generation are fond and share such memories is really interesting and cool to see.
Nostalgia is comfort, longing and sadness all wrapped into one, complex emotions are always the most addicting
Our channel and podcast is all about that, nostalgia. So bittersweet!
I'm sitting in my room and pretending that it's 1999.
Nostalgia!
I tend to like that year for some reason too.
I was a year old. I played most of these around 2003 when I was old enough to remember
When the Main Menu Theme for Ocarina of Time started, I literally stopped what I was doing and closed my eyes. So GOOD.
@@jimwalton8973 It's right before Y2K destroyed the world.
Moments like this make me realize I shouldn't have ever said I wanted to grow up. We all take time for granted and never truly live in the moment until we realize that its too late
Easy, just play those games again. You can still buy systems as old as Atari 2600.

@@thatguy9807I don't think he meant a literal soundtrack to a video game but this playlist. The first song from Mario 64.

Persona 5?
Red Dead Redemption 2.....
Adding the original title screens for each game was such a nice touch
Man, Dire, Dire Docks… Always takes me back to my childhood days spent playing Super Mario with my mom and my brothers. It transports me to hot summer days, the a/c is on full blast, and we’re all together for those few hours when we sat around the tv, taking turns playing that wonderful game.
How much has changed since then. We’re all separated now, either by distance or just sad, unfortunate circumstances.
I hope those days were just as memorable and comforting for my family as they were for me.
I miss you guys.
Damn you just read my heart...
Same here!
You've still got all of us, your extended gamer family,lol
🧡
sigh... adulthood hit like a train. im 31 now. all separated in a foreign country..
Goldeneye, Resident Evil 2, Donkey Kong 64, Mario Kart 64 - this shit kept me GROUNDED.
I'll never forget the bliss, peace, bonding and fun I experienced playing video games in the Irish countryside during the 90s.
Listening to Star Fox almost made me cry. I played that game a lot when I was a kid, back when things were okay in my family. So much has changed since then. Would be nice to be a kid again.
Star Fox hit me too bro. More than any other song on this. I played that game a ton and I immediately recognized the tune when it came on even though my phone was locked. We would have been friends as kids 😁
It is the one that got me.
For me Ocarina of time hit me like that as it was my first Video game i ever played
Bruh, Zelda got me man...That game my grandfather introduced me to back on the Nes, I think the N64 was the last Zelda he played and enjoyed. =[ Miss him so much, ugh!!
@@phazonpirate5689 not my first one but definetly the one that got me hypnotised ! the music is graved in my soul forever ! i wonder if without the music i would have enjoyed the game the way i did....MARIO 64 TOO

This reminds me of getting up early on Saturdays and firing up the N64, no school, procrastinating on homework 🙃, going to get groceries, having a home cooked meal from mom, going back to gaming all day and not having to worry about bills, work, and adulting. Back in the good ole innocent days. 🥲
JESUS IS GOD
That´s a more understandabIe reason to miss the oId days, but i stiII want to say, even as an aduIt you can Iive a happy Iife and have IittIe to no worries! You *can* give your own Iife meaning aII you want and NO ONE and NOTHlNG can stop that😊❤️
This is actually super good with nostalgia. Brings back so many memories. It's interesting how we lived as a child and moments to share.
why... am i crying. oh yeah, because im an adult now and i dont have friends to play video games with anymore lol. Zelda title screen did it for me. ugh miss hangin out in my friend's basement playing N64 at 3am, eatin ramen noodles, trying to stop the microwave before the timer went off and woke up her parents...
Crying with you! 😭😭😭 We're trying to relive those moments with our podcast.
DK 64 will always have a special place in my heart even though I know it was an uncreative cash grab built on the Banjo Kazooie engine. I received this game in the fall of 1999 when it came out. My brother was 11 and I was 7. I used to watch him play this game in our basement on our old Zenith tv. It was from the 80s but our Dad somehow rigged an N64 up to it using a VCR, I honestly was too young to remember how the setup came to be. Anyway we made it all the way to Hideout Helm but ended up getting stuck since we didn't have the rare coin. My brother heard from a friend then that you needed to beat the arcade game in Frantic Factory to get it. He never did end up beating the arcade game and eventually we moved on to different games. Fast forward to 2010 and he died in a car crash so he never will get to beat the game. In 2014 I plugged in the same N64 and started a new file on the same cartridge. I finally beat it for the two of us at age 23.
I'm in Tears! 😢 the story is just too tragic
your story is moving. personally i never got past that part of the game either .. those arcade games were no joke. im happy you decided to go back & complete it for the memory & honor of your late brother .. im sure he was right there w you cheering you on :) god bless. 🙏🏼
Holy shit.. that's almost exactly what happened with me. Me and my older brother could never beat that stupid mini game as kids, and he passed in 2013 in a car accident. I finished the game very shortly after his passing, but Im sad just thinking about it cuz I used to yell for him anytime I beat anything big/significant in the game, and I still wanted to when I finished that damn game..
Dk64 was so iconic to us, especially since we had that green dk64 edition console. We wore that thing to the ground.. and the amount of controller thumbsticks that were broken. Lots of memories with it all.
This has honestly been the only time I got emotional reading/writing something online. I'm truly sorry to hear you had a similar experience, but I appreciate you saying something. It brought back alot of memories, I just wish it didn't have to happen this way.
One of the comfiest background art I've ever looked at. Something about it is so soothing for the soul lol
Custom made. Glad you like it!
Yesss it's super good!!!
Agreed,
The static in the tv is everything

Please take us back to the 80s 90s and early 2000s 😢❤
Can't man, embrace it!
You don't miss those years because they were better than today, you miss those because you were a child. You didn't have any responsibility, you didn't even have to think about what you'd have for dinner. We should be thankful that we had this kind of childhood, many were not as lucky as we were.
@@kripton7120 wrong it was better than today. I had plenty of responsibilities. Grew up dairy farming etc etc.
Anyone else just holding their head while feeling this still warmness in the center of your heart? That's childhood.
This is so bitter sweet to me... like, it brings me such fuzzy nostalgic comfort but at the same time my soul is weeping over the loss of those childhood days. There’s no going back. Ever. And it hurts so bad.
Anyway, thank you so much for this. The music selection and your custom made background is incredible. I hope you know how moving this video is to myself and so many others.
So glad that we could contribute to your nostalgia!

You gotta time stamp if you leave a comment like that
I get it, we look back and miss these days. Now I'm grown and a parent and I focus on making these moments for my family.
Don't take it for granted, the pandemic has made it bad, don't forget to turn it around and make the best of it with those you still have.
Stay safe out there and know that you are loved. Just like in games, don't give up. "CONTINUE? (Yes) No" You'll get it this time.
This is by far the best playlist to chill, work, throw yourself into the nostalgia realm. I'am 32 years old, with a lot of good memories from the n64 days, as today almost everyday working at home i listen to this soundtrack and i can focus and relax as i doing my work. I can't describe exaclty into words what is the feeling of confort and coziness. At this point in my life i have a wife and a 2 years son, very diferent from that time in my life that i didn't have to work or have responsabilities, but with this type of music i can feel the exact same familiar ambient that i have when i was a child. I found myself truly happy, because i have a family that i chosed to have, with the same vibe as those that i played n64 with my father and mom together, and a healthy relationship with my brother.
It's nostalgia. And this is a very healthy way of using it. Instead of longing for the past, you're appreciating what you used to have while also appreciating what you have now. That's what I do. I'm going to look back on my life now with the same nostalgia as I'm feeling for my N64 days. I'm in a very similar position as you. Mid 30s, 2 year old daughter.
so wholesome ;-; you gonna make me cry
music is powerful, it can store some of the most irreplacable memories and feelings. i'm glad to live at a time where so many adventures from my childhood can be saved in a touching song or two. peace and love to you and your family!
I have a daughter on the way and can't wait to introduce her to some of these classic games.
congrats on your life accomplishments so far, friend. see you on the other side
The first one is literally the best! Memories....💕
All for you, Roxy!

Brings back the 90s. What a time to be alive
I remember growing up and just sitting in my oldest brother’s room watching him play Zelda on the original Nintendo then Link to the past on the SNES. When Ocarina of Time came out, it was finally his turn to watch me play. Some weekends after he comes home from work, he’ll ask me to play so he could watch. Crazy how fast time goes by.
Those memories are so special. Glad this could take you back there for a moment.
Warm and fuzzies😊
Wow exactly my life, amazing
My younger brother and sister would watch me play OOT for hours. My sister died in her 20s unfortunately but I am glad I have those memories.
It's Friday night. You've finished your homework and chores and have the whole weekend to spend playing your N64. Your mom lets you invite some friends over for the night(s) and orders pizza for you. You all take turns playing your favorite games, or you play some games together.
Or maybe you were the type to play video games alone as a way to escape the harsh, bitter world, immersing yourself into another to forget and smile.
All the same, no system could truly illustrate these quite like the N64.
Thank you for the nostalgia trip.
Our pleasure. Check out our Relaxing PlayStation playlist for more nostalgia vibes.
This was my escape from so much during the 90s. No game console will ever be able to replace it for me in that respect.
yeah then the game doesnt load so you gotta do the old pull it out blow on it put in back, wiggle it a little bit....
@@samuelneese482 good on screen game play but those controllers if only they had ones like game cube back then.
Those N64 classic soundtracks really makes me feel a 7 years old boy again. The feels... The time that people still loved each other. Thanks for uploading, much appreciated.

Holy fudge this takes me back! This background reminds me of Friday and Saturday nights when my mom let my brother and I's friends over for a sleepover. They would bring their N64 controllers and we would be up until midnight playing Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash Bros, Pokemon Stadium, Didddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo Tooie multiplayer, and Goldeneye. Man I miss the 90s...
Doesn't get much better. 😭

Exactly, thank you. It helps me to do my work
RIP Josh. I will never forget my first foray with the N64. It was all because of you.
The Zelda OOT opening song is a childhood classic
With a capital C.
Still the best zelda to this day
Best game I've ever played
All the Zelda songs are so majestic and mysteriously beautiful. Any game with a soundtrack this well composed is bound to go down in history - amazing.
Well said. There is something mystical about that game that still catches my attention.
You got that right Brother! :)
That zora's domain song, I remember walking into for the first time as a kid and felt like I was truly immersed in a game, nothing has compared ever since. What a life man.
Dude, Im a 2000's kid. Never had a Nintendo64, but I do understand how amazing this is. The nostalgia that this brings to people its a sentiment so precious, that even thought I do not share it with the Nintendo64, I do feel it with the PS2, and other stuff of course. This give me chills, and its amazing
Fuck man, I miss those days, I hate being an adult, everything was so much simpler, all you needed was a small tv, your console, and hours of gameplay without internet, micro transactions, or life issues. If only there was a way to go back in time and relieve those happy days.
Now I have all the consoles, the internet, my own money power to buy games, yet I only turn my consoles on once in a while...
In the words of Andy Bernard from The Office - "I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them" :'(

This comment got me all choked up 😢 so true, well said
1997 to early 2000's would have had so many souls swayed by this delight. Thank you Nintendo for being a lovely colour in my early teens.
I can't even count how many times I've listened to this playlist. As most of us here, I grew up playing the N64 and absorbing so many incredible songs that became a part of who I am. Even the songs from games I didn't play are somehow calming and nostalgic. I mean, look at all of us. Sharing memories and unique stories. Being brought together by one common thread.
Never underestimate the power of nostalgia.
Thank you New Games Plus for the best N64 music playlist, period. Not to mention the visual aid. Nice touch!
Thanks for taking time to leave a kind comment. We’re glad we could reminisce together!
This might be a weird thought, but I think it’s crazy how grown ass adults made these songs and knew so well what younger people liked. Like someone maybe my age (36) sat down and knew exactly what to write and play to etch these memories into our skulls decades later. And they might not even know it today; they just went to work, knew they had a job to do and they did it. But it’s so much more for all of us. ❤
I dunno, I just find that fascinating.

That title theme from Ocarina of time is still buried within my soul, no music will make me feel Nostalgia like this
Wish I realized what I was missing when I lived through it. Super smash brothers was one of my favorites too. (‘92 kid)
It seemed like so many classics video game composers really took the time to fully encompass the theme of the game to the score. Such an art, I hope their passion lives on and inspires new generations.
Comments like this Is one of the reasons I became a musician, In the first place. So many hours of awe inspiring music have been written for old school video games. Nothing against more modern and cinematic full blown orchestra being used nowadays, but It will never have the same tonal ambience of what those composers could get with those synth tones.
Damn you just took me back to Christmas 1996 sprawled out on the floor with my brothers playing N64.
Thank you for making me feel something that I'd never thought I'd feel again.

The nostalgia I feel when listening to this is so powerful it brings me to tears. We live in dark times, and it's hard to keep from dwelling in the past.

Maybe it's time to drag out the old N64 and play a few games one night. I would do that too, but I don't know where mine is.
Hope you are well, always keep your inner child alive.
We are the generation that were able to live through these game magical moments that will not be relived again.
Other generation will have there own magical places and memories.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. :P
These are not dark times. Back when you were playing this someone somewhere was living a war, with no food, no one to help. This "dark times" BS...is just that...bs.

Well put. I pine for childhood yet as I watch my 3 year old boy, I know I'll get to live vicariously through him to experience childhood again.
The ocarina opening song still feels like a punch to the stomach every time I hear it...
Even if I didn't play the game when I was younger, there is just something about the way that N64 music sounds that hits me with nostalgia and makes me feel like a kid again. Pure magic.
Hearing the Ocarina of Time flute kick in on that title screen music brought tears to my eyes
So good
Me too, I cried.
I'm doing everything I can to give my kids a magical childhood, so one day their wonderful memories can be triggered by a simple tune.
That's my goal as well, when I get to that point!
Good point, and then adults needs to never forget what happiness truly feels.
A time when everything was much simpler. To go back and temporarily relive these times without current everyday stress would be priceless.
It was the 90s and pretty good times for most. I had the same kind of rca TV with red white Yellow aux inputs for my n64 nes snes and genesis.
Life was ALWAYS stressful.
just stop liking trump, things will get better instantly, and then politically
Things brings me back to the simpler times -- no smart phones, no social media, just good ol' N64 with some friends while eating pizza on a Saturday night.
Bliss.
Man! 😞😞
I'm 40, so I got to experience the golden age of gaming from the start and the N64 is still one of my favorite systems. It had some of the best damn games. I started to tear up a bit at the Donkey Kong 64 tracks. My sister and I put in so many hours on that game and we'd always leave our character in the main area if we needed a break, simply because the music is so calming. I didn't play all of these games, but a good majority of them.
I was 14 when it came to the US and my mother got the bundle pack from Costco that came with Mario 64. That Xmas, the whole family sat in front of the living room TV to play it. I think my mom still has a poloroid of that day.
Around the year 2001 or so, the Pikachu system was on clearance at TRU (rip) for $50, so I snagged one. I still have it. 💛 I wanna play my old games again. Emulators are great, but there will always be something irreplaceable and special about playing off those bulky cartridges and the rumble pack. And let's not forget the expansion pack you were forced to get in order to play DK64. My mom was so pissed. 😅
I'm always grateful to have grown up in the 80s and 90s. Amazing decades to be a kid.
I'm right there with you. It was something else. I forget how much the world has changed until I stumble across things like this and it takes you back to something beautiful.
@@lordbarberwigg oftentimes when I'm watching compilation vids of old 80s and 90s commercials or games, I get so lost in the nostalgia that I forget everything else around me. It feels like I'm a kid again watching TV or playing video games on the weekends or after school. Good times indeed.
I didn't even own an N64 and I love this because it automatically took me back to hanging out with my friends who did. ❤️
Thank you SO much for this video. Nostalgia overload! As soon as i heard Dire Dire Docks I shed a tear. My dad (he passed away earlier this year) bought me and my brother (who is also gone) our N64 together with Mario 64, 1080, and Zelda Ocarina and I played the HECK out of it those games that night. It brings me back to those innocent days when I didn't have to worry or be anxious about the current terrible political climate. I played over 20 different games for the N64 including Banjo, Smash, Diddy Kong, goldeneye, and many many more. But the best experience i had was playing Mario Party with my brother and my Dad. I would almost never win and I was always upset when my brother picked Wario before me (he's my favorite character). But one day when we were playing I actaully managed to not only play as Wario, but also WIN the game against my brother and dad. I remember how happy I was that day and my dad and brother was cheering me on. One of the most memorable days from my childhood. i tried playing the new Mario Party on Switch the other day, but... sigh... It's just not the same. It's nowhere near as good as it was back in the day. Games were just so much better back then. Mario, Zelda, Pokémon. Nintendo could never make something as special as the N64 ever again. They were truly at the top with the N64 and no one could compete with them. I stopped playing video games many years ago. But if I ever play a video game again, I think I'm going to dust off the old N64 to play some Mario 64 tonight and I'll make sure to light a candle for my dad and brother beforehand. Thank you once again for this wonderful nostalgia video.
Man, Blue Resort for Bomberman 64 is taking me back. I remember the campaign game being really challenging but the multiplayer battle was incredible, especially with the customization options. That game was really ahead of its time and very underrated.
So many people missed that game for some reason. It was fantastic.
Amazing mix. I was born in 1997, and I never had a super huge library of N64 games. Most of these songs I don't have a memory of, but it's really comforting seeing all these people who do. Dire Dire Docks I knew right away (and it's also one of the few songs I can play on the piano). I remember being just 3 or 4 and having my dad help me play through Sm64, Ocarina of Tine, DK64, and many others. I even remember discovering Banjo-Kazooie when I was 10 and beating it myself. Great memories, super wholesome, and an incredible mix I come back to time and time again.
Memories for the win.
Cheers to 'New Game Plus' for making this. Almost brought a few tears to my eyes after reading these comments and listening to these nostalgic works of art. Serving in the Marines - you forget what it's like to be a kid again, but this brought me back. 🤘
Thank you for your service sir
Dire, Dire Docks is the perfect soundtrack to think about your life and how far you've come since you heard many of these songs for the first time.
i was a PS1 guy and didn't discover the N64 til later. The chunky feel of the games really didn't do it for me though.
Honestly DK isle is the one that hits the hardest for me. It feels so relaxing, and it reminds of the times when I would play the game for hours straight as a kid, all to get 101% percent by the end. In retrospect, this game was far from perfect, but it will always have a special place in my heart.
For sure. I remember the whole intro rap by heart. Ahhhh to be a kid again. It took me FOREVER to beat this game too.
DK64 was truly an adventure. The game was so damn big its hard to comprehend how they even created it. A little too much collecting at times. But the animations, music, sounds, graphics were great. Loved it!
This is helping me get through my seasonal depression while I work from home. Thank you fam
We’re here for you.
I know that castlevania 64 was a very underrated game, but it will always hold a very special place in my heart. Especially annex-silent madness.
I always loved that Castlevania, even though there are better ones in the series.
Being allowed to play Perfect Dark, Mario Kart and Zelda: Ocarina of Time after all of my homework was done. Oh the memories. Truly the best of times. 🥺😭😭
Only fun game I had was party and perfect dark, dark was prety cool with ram cart, played with my mum, shes prety good too. Perfect dark had some goodmusic too.
These are the games that defined my childhood. I almost can't watch this video because it raises such strong emotions in me, a whirlwind of memories, times both good and bad. I didn't have the easiest time growing up. But I am very, very thankful that when times got tough, I could turn on my Nintendo 64 and be comforted by my friends.
