best reminder of this is whenever Nintendo releases their N64 games and none of the Rare games are there which is like 50% of the list of the best games for the system
It would have been neat if that game was the first to be localized instead of The Blazing Blade for the Game Boy Advance. Then people here in he U.S could have experienced it before Smash Bros.
You just realized that? Nintendo has been scamming people for years for stuff that should just be standard. Selling halves of controllers is just the tip of the iceberg. They sold 3DSes without freaking charging cables.
13:13 I'm not sure if it was Miyamoto or someone else on the development team, but I remember reading a quote (and I'm paraphrasing here); "Our first goal was to make Mario fun to control.

@@linkthehero8431I recommend Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Hat in Time, Frogun, and Here Comes Niko if you’re looking for some quality 3D platformers. But yeah, good 3D platformers are a weird rarity today. Either that or they’re not getting enough attention.

One of my favorite N64 memories was trying (emphasis on trying) to play Goldeneye with an N64 steering wheel because my friend only had 3 controllers and we wanted to play 4 player. Needless to say, it didn't end well for me.
Beautiful, I love this! I recently tried emulating it with a few different controllers, and it was so hard to figure out what felt natural. Good on you for having the guts to try it.
@@Monsuco Play it on an emulator with a mouse and keyboard then. No seriously, there is a program to basically turn Goldeneye and Perfect Dark into computer games with the mouse controlling the aiming. And when you do that, yeah, those two games actually still hold up today extremely well.
Donkey Kong 64 has a memory leak and Rare didn't know where it was, so they included the expansion pack so you could play it longer before the game crashed from running out of memory. if you play it long enough without restarting the console it'll still crash
Discovered this the hard way by leaving it on overnight when I was a kid. I hadn't saved before going to bed, and I had lost like 30 minutes worth of gameplay.
Most of my friends had PS1 and having different games was really fun! We always got to show each other games the other hadn't heard of or played yet, it made your library of games more personal.
@@therobotwithhumanhair5659 Very much agreed. It is to this day my favorite game. I can legitimately say that, it's the only game I've played every year since I originally got hands on at my local daycare. A lot of games dont hold up in that era visually or otherwise. That game is still a masterpiece.
What I most appreciate about this era of gaming was that each console was unique and offered a different experience. That said I think the 3D action/platformers on the N64 games aged better than PS1 or Saturn. Going back to the era of tank controls is tough and the fact that Mario 64 is still playable by today's standards says alot.
The N64's analog stick being there from the very beginning helped a lot, but I think the PS1 has some games that were designed very well with the D-pad like the Crash Bandicoot games. Those are still insanely fun and unique to this day.
@@The_Mexican_Dude I love Mario 64 to death, but future entries absolutely eclipse that game's controls. Not everything feels graceful, especially the turning and precise platforming. Odyssey especially is leagues ahead just due to how tight everything feels.
@@The_Mexican_DudeHaaaard disagree. Platformer games in general, especially Mario games, greatly improved on the gameplay. In fact, I’d even say M64 doesn’t feel great to play nowadays by comparison (particularly due to the camera). It’s not unplayable but it’s honestly unrealistic to say that it’s held so well that even odyssey isn’t at that level
My uncle recently gave me his old N64 for when he was a kid with a couple games like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. This was so cool to me. The controller and graphics were way better than I thought they would be. This console stands tall even today
@@OzoneDepleter I was going to write some shit here, but it turns out Goldeneye 007 came out before both Unreal and Half-Life which are basically as revolutionary as it, in the eyes of PC gamers Well... at least Half-Life introduced the "storytelling with no cutscenes, only scripted events" formula used in many games including Skyrim, while also introducing the WASD control scheme which is used in ALL 3D PC games nowadays (it was invented by doom fans but it was half life that made it a default control scheme)
Hey Scott: if you make a video on the PS1, it should be subtitled, "Nintendo's worst mistake", not just to play this video's title, but also because it kinda is their worst mistake
@@brainlag.I think the Sony fiasco is worse, cus it led to one of the two biggest game console manufacturers existence, and it led to Nintendo have two generations of underperforming consoles (if the SNES CD addon was made, Nintendo would've probably adopted the format from the get-go, leading to the N64 using CDs, which would've eliminated the main reason why third party devs avoided the system like the plague). So yeah, compared to THAT, Rare being bought by Microsoft is not as huge of a deal
@@jackmesrel4933The biggest reason why the deal fell out was largely due to both companies disagreeing on which company would benefit the most revenue earned on the Super CD format. People tend to gloss over Sony’s side of the story and ignore Nintendo’s for the most part. With their initial agreement as follows: Any Nintendo game like Mario or Zelda on the Super CD format would be going into Sony’s pockets instead of Nintendo’s and had Nintendo and Sony worked around their differences, PlayStation wouldn’t be in the same league as it is today.
Seriously, the deal Sony was offering Nintendo was awful. They would have been stupid to take it. The real mistakes came in the aftermath of that decision. Sticking with cartridges was a misread of the market. And Nintendo didn't do much to counter Sony wooing over all the 3rd party developers with good support and generous licensing terms for the PlayStation. A big part of the reason Sony stole so much market share from Nintendo and Sega was because it stole the attention of all the 3rd party developers.
The Saturn isn't a bad console, but Sega was stupid. Saturn has MORE THAN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF GAMES than the N64, but like 80-90% were never realised outside of Japan
Not really, Sega probably bothered to ship units to Japanese retailers ontime whereas in the US there weren't enough of them to satisfy the pre-orders because Sega decided to bump up the launch date significantly. My brother had a Saturn and it was a pretty decent system. I've got a Dreamcast and it's a shame that it didn't get more time as it was a great console. The main issue I have with the systems is that they're disc based which makes for some issues in terms of preserving the games as optical discs are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.
@@davidstenn2871 Yes, my brother had one and it was a good system. But, they botched the launch so badly that it killed the company when retailers wouldn't stock the Dreamcast in the next generation after having been burned by the launch date change.
I was the only one in my friend group to choose a Playstation over N64 back in middle school. I was more focused on single player games and I was very happy with my choice in that regard, but when we were hanging out, we were all about the N64. Each system dabbled in both, but that was pretty much the choice you had to make back then: N64 for the best multiplayer experience, or Playstation for the most (and arguably, best) single player options.
Super man he flies through the rings Super man he does all the things just kidding he only flies through rings that’s all that he does and he’s not even good it’s basically the only thing he does in the game and he’s not even good at it.....
31:07 “For every one thing Nintendo innovated with this console, there was another that was ridiculously close minded and stuck in the past.” Literally Nintendo as a company in one sentence. Could not put it better myself.
I'd argue, by and large, Nintendo isn't stuck in the past as much anymore. I think the main thing people have problems with right now is smash online and even then, it _works,_ it's just not incredible.
That. 13:59. That's what I spent my childhood doing. Imagining scenarios out of thin air and jumping aimlessly in Mario 64, or riding Epona in OoT. Those were HOURS of pure pleasure.
Childhood memories! In Mario Kart my brother and me always had to play the balloon games a specific way. One track had to become the "banana land". Plant as much bananas and bombs as possible and shoot the shells in a wall. On the skyscraper level we had to drive in a circle (clockwise and counter clockwise) and use the stuff immediately. For my brother it's still a tradition to solve the christmas present task in Banjo Kazooie on christmas day (bring back the presents to the young ice bears).
Some notable mentions: Starcraft 64, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and everyone's favorite: Star Wars: Pod Racer. Hear me out on the last one... If you get a Game Shark you can unlock the top speeds. This game is hilarious under certain circumstances, like the time I spent money on it and realized I had to use a Game Shark on it to find any lasting appeal.
Funny thing is, you didn't even need the GameShark. There's a code you can input in-game to access the debug menu in the pause menu. Setting top speed was one of the things you could do.
That game was so much easier when i realized the droids could only repair one item each. Maxing out only the Breaks, Turning, Acceleration, and Engine made that game a cake walk.
Well, I don't think JRPGS have that much power needed to run, they are such simple games they are ridiculous. Goldeneye played on the system stop whining JRPGS.
@@MoeRon004 Saturn has a lot of overlooked gems, actually. All the big names were mostly Playstation but there's some proper quality stuff in that library.
I fully believe Microsoft bought them just to remove them from Nintendo’s war chest. Pretty much all of rares games were good and Microsoft pretty much did nothing with them
When talking about Mario 64, you live in an era where this is old hat. You can't image the excitement of seeing something like this for the first time EVER. No one had seen a game this good EVER. It's out dated and old for you but image if you could enter a holodeck and play a game now. That's how exciting it was.
This. This is why I don't really value his opinion on the mattter. He's completely removed from the time period it was released in. The kid was born a year after the console was released. Of course he's not gonna care or understand how big of a deal it is.
Yeah, Super Mario 64 was absolutely mind blowing and was one hundred percent a good enough reason to get a Nintendo 64. There simply wasn't anything else like it.
Mario 64 is old school not outdated lol Old school is something you want to go back to, mario 64 is still fun to play even to this very day outdated is something you don't want to go back to like tiger lcd games
My favorite hilariously unnecessary adding 64 to the end of a game had to be... Madden 64. Considering that their usual naming convention is to just add the year, this makes Madden 64 look like it came out decades sooner than its actual release.
Forgetting a Scott the Woz episode is probably one of the best feelings to have. For me, it means being able to watch it again while still being able to truthfully laugh at the humor.

I’m only 16 but I grew up with the Nintendo 64. Around 2008 or 2009, one of my dad’s friends gave us his Nintendo 64 with dozens of games which wildly varied in quality. It was my first gaming experience and I have so many great memories of my and my brother playing Mario 64, Star Wars racer, spider man, diddy king racing, goldeneye 007, banjo kazooie, madden 99 and so many more
"For every one thing Nintendo innovated with this console, there was another that was ridiculously close minded and stuck in the past." This has, and seemingly always will be, Nintendo's Achilles heel.
I feel like not only was the Playstation superior and more innovative than the N64 but even the Saturn was debatably better too. Sticking with cartridges killed a large amount of interest before the thing even launched. Do you want the popular system with both tons of epic games, the biggest third-party support, and arcade-perfect ports? Do you go with the main alternative with seemingly endless hidden gems and JRPGs to discover, as well as a massive import scene? Or do you go with the console that has next to no surprises and a dildo for a controller? Oh, and Quest 64.
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN It may have looked like a dildo, but it did have the first analog stick. Also, the 64 was more powerful, most games looked better, and they had legacy IPs like Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, and Mario Kart. The 64 (obviously) had a lot of problems, as do every Nintendo console, but the older i get the more i realize the company's ups and downs have more to do with culture than anything else. From the mid 90s to the early 2000s, most people shifted their mindsets on video games, and decided they only wanted gritty, mature, and realistic games. Now, people seem to be shifting away from that, and now prefer nostalgia over everything else. Meanwhile, Nintendo never changed their strategy. They continued to do what they did best, regardless of reception. This has been both a good and a bad thing for them. Its bad in the short term, because they often appear tone deaf. But its great in the long term, because people have come to learn that they can always rely on them.
DK64 didn't require the expansion pack because of a bug, that was for something to do with the lighting system. There was a crunch-time bug, but Nintendo requested they use the expansion pack from the beginning, and those two stories got conflated.
I found it so odd that, aside from Conker, there was no mention of the silent boom of adult video games, which were the most controversial and most talked about topic in web chat gaming the late 90s
Oh my Gosh haha I grew up on the 3ds and WII and genuinely was so confused why the 3ds wouldn't go on the TV and and WII wouldn't go handheld which is why I love the switch so much
9:10 Playstations would regularly come with a demo disc too. I still remember the one mine came with had Tomb Raider II, and Crash Bandicoot 2. Giving people the chance to try the new games, and not have to go to some kiosk was awesome.
"What are you going to do, take it for a walk?" I expected to see him follow that line with dragging it down the sidewalk, while having a roped wrapped around the console.
N64 controller is basically the SNES controller with grips to support the analog stick and a few extra buttons. I've heard that the reason for that is Nintendo wasn't sure if the analog stick would take off so they wanted the controller to have multiple hold options -- one for primarily D-Pad controls, one for primarily analog stick controls. Which completely sidestepped the issue the Playstation had, where it launched w/o analog sticks and had them added later, requiring people to buy more controllers.
I found my Nintendo 64 this week. It was literally the best day I've had in a long time. Mainly my love for N64 is because it was my first game system, Christmas of 1998.
We had an N64 during the prime of my childhood. We had enough time between game acquisitions that I never noticed a drought. It helped that so many of the games were really good. N64 was the best for 3D platformers and arcade-style racing games. Late in the console cycle we randomly got a PS1 for Christmas one year. I don't remember anybody asking for it, but it ended up having some fun games. My main takeaway from it, though, was "why does it load so slow?" One thing I really liked about the N64, and which increased its multiplayer versatility, was that each controller had its own memory card slot (Nintendo called them Controller Paks). It was nice to take your controller to your friend's house and have your data with you. Gamecube weirded me out when it had four controller ports but only two memory card slots. I remember my friend had one Gamecube game that allowed all four players to use their own save data, and you had to do some annoying card-swapping to make it happen.
There was an advert for the Game Boy Color where a guy takes his N64 for a long walk with a very very long extension cable into the country side, then when he finally sits down to play, his mum unplugs it at the house to put the vacuum cleaner in.
Game packaging: “why does Scott have so many Atari carts?” N64: “HOW TF DID HE FIND (not) A 64DD?!” Also, does Scott not remember that Ocarina of time was originally titled “Zelda 64”? This is one case where I’m glad the 64 subtitled wasn’t applied to a game
I feel like "the bit race" is still happening in a way, it's just evolved. After all, there's a reason Phil Spencer's most said phrase of 2019 was "4K"
@@techy804 sadly that's true for about 70% percent of pc gamers, I got tricked into buying a pc back in 2016, "it will be just 500 dollars and you'll get three times the power of current-Gen consoles!" they said, fast-forward 1 month later and I couldn't run battlefield 1 on the thing, I tried optimizing it but all I got was 25 frames, titanfall 2 ran decently at about 40 something fps, but after a bunch of trouble I decided just buying a ps4 pro and using the pc for work and playing team fortress 2, everything went well after, but I still fell shitty knowing that I couldn't refund battlefield 1 because I played too much.
Phenomenal video as always, Scott! I never knew how drastic the difference in cartridge storage was between the N64 and PS1. Thanks for opening my eyes and making this video!
Nintendo didnt had much of an option. Either way, they would have get fucked. They just choose the lesser of 2 evils. The bruh moment was aproaching Sony at all. And I said that as someone who grew with PS1.
Perfect way to end my Sunday. After working all week, and not having time to catch up with my video games or school, and then after two whole days of studying, exams, homework and taking notes. Nothing is better than ending my night with some Scott The Woz.
Those 6 games are the only games it has. 64 kids still refuse to play any other games to this day. They've just been blabbering on about the same 6 games for 25 years.

Especially if you could afford them! Most people I know shared via 4-player because that was the way to play them best anyway. We used to have gaming parties! Something the PS1 crowd lacked. For a long time they had to put up with 2-player max and that gets old fast But N64 player tournaments up to 4-players always meant there was a crowd cheering, teams, waiting for your next rematch with anticipation, and campaign co-op missions.
@@mergieismoronic Nintendo being themselves, are expecting developers to take a risk and make games for their weak console not knowing if the games will turn a profit. This is the same Nintendo that's gotten a bit full of themselves by constantly wanting to "innovate" in the game industry by getting people's attention on what gameplay gimmicks they want to show off. They're more concerned with flaunting gimmicks and toys rather than making games with substance. Games other than Mario or Zelda.
@@lefterisdim5423 You completely missed the point of my argument. By the way, I was talking about the Wii U not the Switch. Also, when did I mention "Sony" exactly? Where's your attention been at?
Actually the “Ultra” in the name makes sense if you look at drifting in Mario kart: Mini Turbo = NES, Super Mini Turbo = SNES, Ultra Mini Turbo = UNES. I’m still waiting for the UNES, Nintendo.
You skimmed over the fact that Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, was one of the first times you could actually see the A.I on a home console ( at least to my knowledge) interact with itself. You could stumble upon poachers fighting it out with dinosaurs and it really took the run n' gun experience that was beloved in DOOM and translated it extremely well in to a 3D environment. Turok sequels aren't as memorable and for my tastes had too much of a brooding vibe, but it's a shame you didn't talk about it other then the small cameo of the box art.
I played Turok for the first time on PC earlier this year, and was taken aback by how much I enjoyed it. I love retro fps games, and it plays exceptionally well.
He skipped over lots of good ones. Guess he didn't play any of the others to know any better?

Always remember that project reality was supposed to have two parts, one half being the cartridge console and one half being the disc-based capability They were both so unwilling to just use damn CDs (MUH LOADING TIMES) and so inept at finding a workaround for better loading times, the disk functionality moved from being a part of the console, to being an add-on, then being delayed, and delayed, and delayed and delayed-
A disk reader also is expensive. The N64 already was 25% more expensive than the PS1 and a disk reader would have pushed that price up even further. Sony had a big advantage in this because they partially owed the media format so they didn't have to pay any licences. The disc reader pushed the price of the Saturn up and hurt it greatly.
The PS1 was my first home console, but I can't name anything I played on it. With the PS2 I remember everything like I still had it, and Nintendo boys just won't shut up about how much fun the N64 brought to them.
Yeah. Kinda feel like this video undersells how meh the entire generation was to be honest. The PS1's problems went in almost the exact opposite direction. It was masterclass for people that liked horror games, or RPGs. And... honestly not much else. Controls on PS1 were pretty clunky, framerates were low, and basically everything was kind of ugly. This stuff, just by chance, was insanely beneficial for making horror games actually scary. Silent Hill is one of the scariest things ever, because of that. And it just didn't affect RPGs that bad because they were primarily turn based and story based. But it meant most platformers kind of sucked, and the ones that didn't were ones that compromised a lot more and kept more 2D elements, like Crash. I think it's like the way the NES kind of sucks in retrospect, aside from a few games, but it laid the groundwork down for all of the absolutely amazing stuff that came out the next generation with the Genesis and SNES. Games that still hold up perfectly today. There were only a few genuinely amazing games from the fifth gen that you'd actually went to go back and play. But almost every single major release on the PS2 and GameCube are amazing, and still hold up perfectly.
@@Dogman_35 I wouldn't say its entirely the PS1's fault that a lot of platformers during those years sucked. A lot of N64 Platformers from that era has not held up against the test of time either *(cough anything from Rareware Cough).*
I could never cope with the PS1. The graphics were really unpleasant to look at. I've had discussions right from back then claiming people preferred that look, but it always made me feel slightly ill. I won't deny the n64 comes out looking blurry and lacking in detail (hard to know exactly what that's about). But the way everything would shift and distort... Bleugh. It made me realise in hindsight that my biggest issue with early 3d as a whole is when games don't do perspective correction properly. I can live without the vast majority of modern graphical touches... But that? No. Just can't handle it. A distant second would be lack of texture filtering (eg games that don't at least do bilinear filtering). But, that's a DISTANT second. I guess some of the wonkiness of PS1 graphics may also be lack of vertex precision, which, again, causes objects to... wobble for a lack of a better way of putting it...
In mexico it's primarily Nintendo. It's awesome to see where in other regions video game consoles are called either "Nintendo,Atari,Sega and/or Playstation".
The Wii U is still relevant though. Star Fox Zero, Smash 4 is different enough to justify it still being played, and Mario in 3D World looks up Peach’s dress.
4:51 even back then you could get onboard flash memory that was comparable and today they should be using SD cards or SSD's but they are slacking. As kid who was actively gaming in the late 80s and throughout the 90s I can say 100% the PS1 was ehhh at most. Now PS2 was wild.

How long do you need to play it in order to break it? :O
@@IceSpoon I think around 20 hours with the xpac, but that could be wrong. Without the expansion, DK64 crashes within a few hours.

What I most appreciate about this era of gaming was that each console was unique and offered a different experience. That said I think the 3D action/platformers on the N64 games aged better than PS1 or Saturn. Going back to the era of tank controls is tough and the fact that Mario 64 is still playable by today's standards says alot.
The N64's analog stick being there from the very beginning helped a lot, but I think the PS1 has some games that were designed very well with the D-pad like the Crash Bandicoot games. Those are still insanely fun and unique to this day.
@@The_Mexican_Dude I love Mario 64 to death, but future entries absolutely eclipse that game's controls. Not everything feels graceful, especially the turning and precise platforming. Odyssey especially is leagues ahead just due to how tight everything feels.
@@The_Mexican_DudeHaaaard disagree. Platformer games in general, especially Mario games, greatly improved on the gameplay. In fact, I’d even say M64 doesn’t feel great to play nowadays by comparison (particularly due to the camera).

rare's aquisition by microsoft might be the biggest blunder they've had yet
@@brainlag.I think the Sony fiasco is worse, cus it led to one of the two biggest game console manufacturers existence, and it led to Nintendo have two generations of underperforming consoles (if the SNES CD addon was made, Nintendo would've probably adopted the format from the get-go, leading to the N64 using CDs, which would've eliminated the main reason why third party devs avoided the system like the plague). So yeah, compared to THAT, Rare being bought by Microsoft is not as huge of a deal
@@jackmesrel4933The biggest reason why the deal fell out was largely due to both companies disagreeing on which company would benefit the most revenue earned on the Super CD format. People tend to gloss over Sony’s side of the story and ignore Nintendo’s for the most part. With their initial agreement as follows: Any Nintendo game like Mario or Zelda on the Super CD format would be going into Sony’s pockets instead of Nintendo’s and had Nintendo and Sony worked around their differences, PlayStation wouldn’t be in the same league as it is today.
Seriously, the deal Sony was offering Nintendo was awful. They would have been stupid to take it. The real mistakes came in the aftermath of that decision. Sticking with cartridges was a misread of the market. And Nintendo didn't do much to counter Sony wooing over all the 3rd party developers with good support and generous licensing terms for the PlayStation.
A big part of the reason Sony stole so much market share from Nintendo and Sega was because it stole the attention of all the 3rd party developers.

Crazy how Saturn outperformed N64 in Japan. First time Sega beat Nintendo in their home market. It would also be the last.
The Saturn isn't a bad console, but Sega was stupid. Saturn has MORE THAN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF GAMES than the N64, but like 80-90% were never realised outside of Japan
Segata Sanshiro!!!
because the 64 was more geared to western audiences while Japan were still into 2d games like many on the Saturn.
Not really, Sega probably bothered to ship units to Japanese retailers ontime whereas in the US there weren't enough of them to satisfy the pre-orders because Sega decided to bump up the launch date significantly.
My brother had a Saturn and it was a pretty decent system. I've got a Dreamcast and it's a shame that it didn't get more time as it was a great console. The main issue I have with the systems is that they're disc based which makes for some issues in terms of preserving the games as optical discs are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.
@@davidstenn2871 Yes, my brother had one and it was a good system. But, they botched the launch so badly that it killed the company when retailers wouldn't stock the Dreamcast in the next generation after having been burned by the launch date change.

@SunOnShine not even out yet, how can you be so sure it'll be good?
I was the only one in my friend group to choose a Playstation over N64 back in middle school. I was more focused on single player games and I was very happy with my choice in that regard, but when we were hanging out, we were all about the N64. Each system dabbled in both, but that was pretty much the choice you had to make back then: N64 for the best multiplayer experience, or Playstation for the most (and arguably, best) single player options.
N64 had single games as well. Getting 4 people together (let alone 4 controllers and the specific games and an expansion pack) wasn't always easy.

Hear me out on the last one... If you get a Game Shark you can unlock the top speeds. This game is hilarious under certain circumstances, like the time I spent money on it and realized I had to use a Game Shark on it to find any lasting appeal.
I hate pod racer, I think Rogue Squadron was so much more fun
Pro Skater was way more a PlayStation title in my mind, it's just not the same without that CD audio soundtrack
Funny thing is, you didn't even need the GameShark. There's a code you can input in-game to access the debug menu in the pause menu. Setting top speed was one of the things you could do.
That game was so much easier when i realized the droids could only repair one item each. Maxing out only the Breaks, Turning, Acceleration, and Engine made that game a cake walk.

This has, and seemingly always will be, Nintendo's Achilles heel.
*cough* Switch's online functionality *cough*
I have friends living in Japan, and this is spot on of Japanese business culture, I just never realized until Big N made it this obvious.
I feel like not only was the Playstation superior and more innovative than the N64 but even the Saturn was debatably better too. Sticking with cartridges killed a large amount of interest before the thing even launched. Do you want the popular system with both tons of epic games, the biggest third-party support, and arcade-perfect ports? Do you go with the main alternative with seemingly endless hidden gems and JRPGs to discover, as well as a massive import scene? Or do you go with the console that has next to no surprises and a dildo for a controller? Oh, and Quest 64.
@Finlay McMullen Amen.
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN It may have looked like a dildo, but it did have the first analog stick.
Also, the 64 was more powerful, most games looked better, and they had legacy IPs like Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, and Mario Kart.
The 64 (obviously) had a lot of problems, as do every Nintendo console, but the older i get the more i realize the company's ups and downs have more to do with culture than anything else.
From the mid 90s to the early 2000s, most people shifted their mindsets on video games, and decided they only wanted gritty, mature, and realistic games. Now, people seem to be shifting away from that, and now prefer nostalgia over everything else. Meanwhile, Nintendo never changed their strategy. They continued to do what they did best, regardless of reception. This has been both a good and a bad thing for them. Its bad in the short term, because they often appear tone deaf. But its great in the long term, because people have come to learn that they can always rely on them.
Damn, that timing, man. Right when his final speech ended so did the SM64 staff roll theme. That was satisfying.
DK64 didn't require the expansion pack because of a bug, that was for something to do with the lighting system. There was a crunch-time bug, but Nintendo requested they use the expansion pack from the beginning, and those two stories got conflated.

N64 controller is basically the SNES controller with grips to support the analog stick and a few extra buttons. I've heard that the reason for that is Nintendo wasn't sure if the analog stick would take off so they wanted the controller to have multiple hold options -- one for primarily D-Pad controls, one for primarily analog stick controls. Which completely sidestepped the issue the Playstation had, where it launched w/o analog sticks and had them added later, requiring people to buy more controllers.

We had an N64 during the prime of my childhood. We had enough time between game acquisitions that I never noticed a drought. It helped that so many of the games were really good. N64 was the best for 3D platformers and arcade-style racing games.
Late in the console cycle we randomly got a PS1 for Christmas one year. I don't remember anybody asking for it, but it ended up having some fun games. My main takeaway from it, though, was "why does it load so slow?"
One thing I really liked about the N64, and which increased its multiplayer versatility, was that each controller had its own memory card slot (Nintendo called them Controller Paks). It was nice to take your controller to your friend's house and have your data with you. Gamecube weirded me out when it had four controller ports but only two memory card slots. I remember my friend had one Gamecube game that allowed all four players to use their own save data, and you had to do some annoying card-swapping to make it happen.

I hate school bro (worst part is, have like 7-8 years to go) :(
I started college 3 weeks ago
I'm in Australia, and need to say: WTF? We start school at the start of the year because that makes sense not mid-september.
Honestly Nintendo being responsible for the creation of their biggest rival is one of the biggest Bruh moments in gaming history
To be fair, Nintendo backed out of the contract because it would've gave Sony publishing rights to everything on disc.
KhakiCube I mean it’s still mildly amusing either way
@@KhakiCube but, its hilarious they outclassed the company they were going to work with
You say that, but how different would the gaming world be if they didnt? All the games and classics we have today may not exist. So be thankful.
Nintendo didnt had much of an option. Either way, they would have get fucked. They just choose the lesser of 2 evils. The bruh moment was aproaching Sony at all.
And I said that as someone who grew with PS1.
Perfect way to end my Sunday. After working all week, and not having time to catch up with my video games or school, and then after two whole days of studying, exams, homework and taking notes. Nothing is better than ending my night with some Scott The Woz.
I remember wanted a N64 because of its looks alone and Mario 64
However all I remember is the same 6 games in the catalogue for years lol
When the 6 games are some of the greatest and most influential games in history, it’s a pretty good system
Those 6 games are the only games it has. 64 kids still refuse to play any other games to this day. They've just been blabbering on about the same 6 games for 25 years.
@@alvareo92 yeah but...6 games...
there's more than 6 games i can name 10 off the dome rn. Mario 64, Perfect Dark, Golden eye, Conkers bad fur day, Smash Bros, Star Fox 64, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64@@mickeymickey9914

These games are soo replayable even today. Especially if you could afford them! Most people I know shared via 4-player because that was the way to play them best anyway.
We used to have gaming parties! Something the PS1 crowd lacked. For a long time they had to put up with 2-player max and that gets old fast
But N64 player tournaments up to 4-players always meant there was a crowd cheering, teams, waiting for your next rematch with anticipation, and campaign co-op missions.
Nintendo 64: teaching kids that really good highs are worth any lows
Wii U: teaching kids that their favorite company can be pretty full of themselves after not learning from their past failures.
+Doc Louis
The Wii U was mismarketed and had barely any games at the start and end, hence why it failed.
@@mergieismoronic Nintendo being themselves, are expecting developers to take a risk and make games for their weak console not knowing if the games will turn a profit. This is the same Nintendo that's gotten a bit full of themselves by constantly wanting to "innovate" in the game industry by getting people's attention on what gameplay gimmicks they want to show off. They're more concerned with flaunting gimmicks and toys rather than making games with substance. Games other than Mario or Zelda.
@@doclouis4236 Not everyone has to do what Sony does. Nintendo does its own thing and Switch is currently doing amazing.
@@lefterisdim5423 You completely missed the point of my argument. By the way, I was talking about the Wii U not the Switch. Also, when did I mention "Sony" exactly? Where's your attention been at?
“bet you won’t” was nintendo’s response to sony developing the PSX with out nintendo’s help.

The most amazing thing about this channel is I haven’t watched it in 2 years and it’s constantly in my feed somehow
Actually the “Ultra” in the name makes sense if you look at drifting in Mario kart: Mini Turbo = NES, Super Mini Turbo = SNES, Ultra Mini Turbo = UNES. I’m still waiting for the UNES, Nintendo.
How about the Premium Mini Turbo or the PNES
If they ever create a console that can play all the games from previous consoles it should be called the Omega NES
But there wasn't a Mario Kart on the NES
@@lordskaro8171 I read this as penis was that the point?
@@lordskaro8171 I prefer the Japan-Exclusive, updated version: The Premium Extra Nintendo Entertainment System.
Man, Scott’s new upload schedule is _very_ strange. Like, I never expected him to start uploading at 1:00 AM, but here we are.
Hey all Scott here! It’s 1 am! You know what that means!
It actually got delayed
Timezones buddy, I got this at 9 pm
Man, I wish people knew timezones existed, it’s *very* strange, but here we are.
I’m still pretty sure he uploaded at 1:00 AM in his time zone.
You skimmed over the fact that Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, was one of the first times you could actually see the A.I on a home console ( at least to my knowledge) interact with itself. You could stumble upon poachers fighting it out with dinosaurs and it really took the run n' gun experience that was beloved in DOOM and translated it extremely well in to a 3D environment. Turok sequels aren't as memorable and for my tastes had too much of a brooding vibe, but it's a shame you didn't talk about it other then the small cameo of the box art.
That last boss though... Sheesh, what an underrated hard fight! Turok 1 (never beat the sequels/spin-offs)
I played Turok for the first time on PC earlier this year, and was taken aback by how much I enjoyed it. I love retro fps games, and it plays exceptionally well.
@ I mean yep!
He skipped over lots of good ones. Guess he didn't play any of the others to know any better?

N64 is still 🔥
Burning in hell?
@@SomehowScott no
It is, and the mod community is putting out some incredible stuff
Droidix Bacon only at their worst, but those mistakes are easy to see and happen about once per game.

Still love the console though
Always remember that project reality was supposed to have two parts, one half being the cartridge console and one half being the disc-based capability
They were both so unwilling to just use damn CDs (MUH LOADING TIMES) and so inept at finding a workaround for better loading times, the disk functionality moved from being a part of the console, to being an add-on, then being delayed, and delayed, and delayed and delayed-
Bob Jenkins but the ps1 came out 2 yrs before n64 no? u think by 95ish they couldve switched gears to cd?
A disk reader also is expensive. The N64 already was 25% more expensive than the PS1 and a disk reader would have pushed that price up even further.
Sony had a big advantage in this because they partially owed the media format so they didn't have to pay any licences. The disc reader pushed the price of the Saturn up and hurt it greatly.
I never connected with PS1 games and that was the console I had. Always had to go to a friend's house to play N64. I love Bomberman 64!
The PS1 was my first home console, but I can't name anything I played on it. With the PS2 I remember everything like I still had it, and Nintendo boys just won't shut up about how much fun the N64 brought to them.
Yeah. Kinda feel like this video undersells how meh the entire generation was to be honest. The PS1's problems went in almost the exact opposite direction. It was masterclass for people that liked horror games, or RPGs. And... honestly not much else.
Controls on PS1 were pretty clunky, framerates were low, and basically everything was kind of ugly. This stuff, just by chance, was insanely beneficial for making horror games actually scary. Silent Hill is one of the scariest things ever, because of that. And it just didn't affect RPGs that bad because they were primarily turn based and story based.
But it meant most platformers kind of sucked, and the ones that didn't were ones that compromised a lot more and kept more 2D elements, like Crash.
I think it's like the way the NES kind of sucks in retrospect, aside from a few games, but it laid the groundwork down for all of the absolutely amazing stuff that came out the next generation with the Genesis and SNES. Games that still hold up perfectly today.
There were only a few genuinely amazing games from the fifth gen that you'd actually went to go back and play. But almost every single major release on the PS2 and GameCube are amazing, and still hold up perfectly.
@@Dogman_35
I wouldn't say its entirely the PS1's fault that a lot of platformers during those years sucked.
A lot of N64 Platformers from that era has not held up against the test of time either *(cough anything from Rareware Cough).*
I could never cope with the PS1.
The graphics were really unpleasant to look at.
I've had discussions right from back then claiming people preferred that look, but it always made me feel slightly ill.
I won't deny the n64 comes out looking blurry and lacking in detail (hard to know exactly what that's about).
But the way everything would shift and distort... Bleugh.
It made me realise in hindsight that my biggest issue with early 3d as a whole is when games don't do perspective correction properly.
I can live without the vast majority of modern graphical touches...
But that? No. Just can't handle it.
A distant second would be lack of texture filtering (eg games that don't at least do bilinear filtering). But, that's a DISTANT second.
I guess some of the wonkiness of PS1 graphics may also be lack of vertex precision, which, again, causes objects to... wobble for a lack of a better way of putting it...
@Rampe
That’s interesting. There were a lot of good games on the PS1 too.
I LOVED Tetrissphere, it was my first N64 game. The OST is incredible and it fostered my love of puzzle games. The 17% ARE GOOD ENOUGH! :D

Fun Fact: The Wiimote nunchuck design is basically just the middle prong of the N64 controller.
Fun fact: a lot of cubans, and probably a lot of hispanics have "atari" instead of "nintendo" as their blanket name for all videogames.
awesometico In the Dominican Republic, some people use Sega as a blanket term, not everyone one though, the majority use Nintendo.
In mexico it's primarily Nintendo. It's awesome to see where in other regions video game consoles are called either "Nintendo,Atari,Sega and/or Playstation".
in Spain it's usually playstation

Daily reminder n64 sold more than the Wii u
The Wii U is still relevant though. Star Fox Zero, Smash 4 is different enough to justify it still being played, and Mario in 3D World looks up Peach’s dress.

4:51 even back then you could get onboard flash memory that was comparable and today they should be using SD cards or SSD's but they are slacking.
As kid who was actively gaming in the late 80s and throughout the 90s I can say 100% the PS1 was ehhh at most. Now PS2 was wild.
