CORRECTION: The N64 release actually DOES have multiplayer. You access it by pressing "START" on player 2's controller during the character select. I initially couldn't find it, so I thought it wasn't included. Sorry for the misinformation!
Thats neat
@@misterzygarde6431 yeah but what if i bought medabots?!?!??!???
Nitro Rad I wouldn’t mind you doing a video on Medabots.
@@misterzygarde6431 On the GBA?
PuppetGameReviews yeah
As a game developer: THANK YOU for being aware of the fact that teams change a LOT in this industry. I'd hate to make a successful game and then everybody gives credit to former colleagues who already left the company ages ago. It's really just a detail but I was glad to hear you talk about it
Aren you saying you developed this game or other games
Wait what games have you developed or worked on?
Ooh, what game(s) did you have a hand in developing?
it's an issue alot of people seem to have. they just see the company logo and expect it to be a seal of quality when people come and go.
Why is everyone harping on this guy for not saying what company they work for? Obv they want to remain anonymous
those PS1 cutscenes looks as though they were done in the late 00's to 2010's. damn
Yeah, this game was sadly overlooked by many, I love the ps1 version's music and cutscenes.
@@cardenw would you say it's... slept on?
@@elimccuskey1809 Bah duh Bum
& yet he brags on the n64 cut scene....as if its close call.
@@supremevictory4310 maybe because PS1 was prerendered and N64 was real time?
"Sweet dreams have been cancelled!" Ah, the charm of villains from the olden days of gaming when villains felt like Saturday morning cartoon villains.
Also, fun fact. Lani Minella also voiced the Night Mother in Skyrim.
@@JoakimOtamaaShe was!
The Steam version is actually an emulated PS1 version funnily enough. Even the settings and recommended stuff are typical emulator stuff.
I wonder if anyone will be able to do a direct port of this game to pc?
@@KienPhung Could be tricky. Assuming the publishers of the re-release and current PC 'port' of it probably don't have the original source code themselves. Which may explain why they couldn't add anything into the N64 version and had to resort to an emulated PS1 version on PC, might require a lot of reverse engineering or a write-up of the same code from scratch. Though the fact this game got a re-release is already a surprising miracle by itself, it might not be hopeless in the future.
Nachy Might explain why my experience with that version was...a bit crap. Namely, horrible sound quality, and issues mapping my Switch controller meaning pressing + wasn’t Start, but Escape...so I’d be kicked out at the title screen when trying to start up.
@@isenokami7810 Yeah it's sadly not even a stable emulation. Until someone can make a true port, you'll most likely be able to get a better experience setting up an emulator yourself.
Nachy Wish I knew that before I bought it.

I see what you did there.
That was so clever and I hate it.
you didn’t need to.
WinkX40
I actually had to count to make sure it was 40 winks
Whoa what a throw back! My dad was writing the manual for the N64 release and used my brother and I as guinea pigs on this! This is really the first game I remember playing. Wild!
Those PS1 cutscenes have better 3D animation than some movies that get released TODAY.
I know right? Those cutscenes were produced in 1998-1999, and they blow trash like Foodfight out of the water.
@@sonikku956 sir we dont talk about foodfight in here
@@ineedtherapy8339 Foodfight is like Sonic 06. It had a lot of potential for a great movie as seen by the old trailers. Except, Foodfight's better versions were stolen, and Sonic 06 was rushed.
I would totally watch a 40 winks movie or short tv series. Rendered in the style of the cutscenes of course.
Even the N64 cutscenes look better than most modern movies.
Nitro Rad reviewing old obscure games, lo-fi music in the background and a good drink.
Ah, one of the best ways to spend an afternoon...
Yeah, especially his chill way of reviewing more like a friend telling you about a game, rather then a strictly professional review
@@hughotterson6590 Yeah! That's a pretty good description. He tells how he experienced his journey in the game instead of critiquing it strictly
@@jopiluis3382 You know the music he used?
@@luisdiegohernandez2326 Old comment, but most of Nitro Rad's background music is from a game called Hotel Dusk and its sequel Last Window The Secret of Cape West.
@@harrymasononvacation Oh my God, thank you so much.
"Sweet dreams are cancelled !"
I think he's talking about the N64 version.
Hey thanks for the heart
When you edit comments the heart disappears, sorry bud.
@@mesacboy7939 ah god dammit
@@mesacboy7939
TH-cam takes away the heart if the comment gets edited? That's pretty well deserved. I hate people who edit their comments for award speeches. lol
Way to be a dick looming, a lot of folks are simply thanking the content creator for noticing their comments. The way you're putting it, it honestly makes it sound more that you're just jealous that you've not been noticed.
@@electromaniac9723
Thanks for understanding, Psychotronic. I appreciate people like you. You're a thinking man/woman.
Was not expecting an early patron reward, color me pleasantly surprised
I swear, his Lucario plush gets bigger with every episode XD
Oh I wonder why~ ten bucks he sleeps with it, I'm ready to bet that I would totally put that in my bed
Stumbled onto this. Instantly subscribed. Levelheaded commentary and no sensory overload. Awesome.
6:28 OMG! That cut scene at the beginning of the game is really impressive, recreates fatefully the pretender video of the PS version.
I don't really get much good sleep either and you don't see me cancelling sweet dreams.
is that avi your art? looks good if so.
I remember playing Ruff & Tumble, as it was called here in Germany. I really enjoyed it.
Yea that’s what they were called in the American PS1 version too
@@m3tr0idgrl I meant the game was called Ruff & Tumble, not 40 Winks.
Man, the cutscenes are gorgeous for the N64, these look like early Dreamcast quality! Hell, compare the animation to Sonic Adventure's initial release.
I only had the PS One version as a kid. The cutscenes were gorgeous for the time.
Loved this game as a kid. I'm bummed not enough people know this gem.
PS: The game was called "Ruff & Tumble" in Germany.
That's what I like about Sparx in Spyro, he'll make sure you never miss a collectible gem.
Dang those ps1 cutscenes are still pretty good
They used some very high quality models for the time and the lighting was very well done.
Scalpers love to resell that lucario plush for $100 or more, its a hard truth
Scalpers should be punished...
By getting scalped :v
A furries love to furiously hump that lucario plush.
Hell, I’d fuck it.
jacobislucas why would you fuck a plush

Yeah, new Nitro Rad episode! Time to arrive the nostalgia ship.
Nostalgia Ship
patent pending
I thought nobody knew that this game even existed. Thank you nitro man for talking about it!
I love that he focuses on games nobody talks about today. There are plenty of games from back in the days a lot of youtubers are still talking about because they're still in the public conciousness even after all these years, but what about other games like Rascal and 40 Winks?
That's when Nitro Rad shows up and puts these games in the spotlight once again.
What a delight, never expected you to review 40 Winks, well done!
Nitro Rad, can i request a review for a game called Gregory's Horror Show on PS2?
I think you would enjoy the weirdness.
Cybershroom oooo i love GHS!! Would love to see him cover it.never played the game, but the show is great
@@Eebers I finished it on easy and on hard difficulty (after beating it once)
It is quite charming and unusual for a survival horror. But it was somewhat enjoyable.
It's nice to see that this was finally released on the N64.
As a kid this was the only game I had on the playstation. Loved it as a kid, can't wait for the nostalgia blast.
Edit: just finished the video, really good review! I'm supprised you didn't really talk about the music here, it's very underrated in my opinion, especially the haunted house level, that gets stuck in my head a lot. However it may just be because I never got passed that level as a kid. Still overall, I loved your review and am so glad you got to this underrated gem of a game in my opinion.
i love this games artstyle, its like if you mashed up southpark and earthbound together.
Oh man you hit the nail on the head
Southbound.
@@karawithgun8148 Or Earthpark
@@egap98 Really? I can see maybe where the influence came from?
egap98 i picture Pokey sounding like Cartman
It took me actual years to remember the name of this game, and just recently got around to playing it again... What a nostalgia trip.
You should also consider checking out Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, it's a 3D hack n slash platformer and the spiritual successor to the Ghosts n Goblins series, it's quite good imho.
give this comment a gajillion upvotes
the 2nd game Maximo army of zin is pretty good too hope nitro covers both someday
@@skullwolfsteam I always wanted to try Army of Zin but I bought my disk used/damaged and it needs buffed out.
Also another obscure game on the ps1 called Team Buddies
SkullWolf Steam I remember renting that from blockbuster it was pretty challenging and for some reason it was playing in black and white, not sure why 🤔
0:51
CONKER'S QUEST....oh how young and naive we were.
7:25
gamspot being gamespot since 90's.......I thought the Alien Resurretion review on the ps1 is their first bullcrap ever.............
Well, at least that's the 90s. Now, it's IGN.
Trimint Pikachu - Well if there’s one thing they have in common when it comes to reviews, it’s their BS Sonic Unleashed reviews.
@@keijijohnson9754 At least IGN didn't fire someone for giving a game a certain score. Seriously I'm glad that said former employee of Gamespot went on to found Giant Bomb.
"Like forget Goldeneye, Nightfire is where it's at"...
Gah that is a bold claim good sir.
@@radornkeldam I totally agree about Goldeneye's guns. Even as a kid playing it,every single one felt unique and very satisfying in their own special way and there was one special one for everyone that each and every player could favor over others just because they were that way. Thanks for that satisfying rant btw lol it was a good read.
You know what this game reminds me, especially the whole dressing power-up? Ape Escape 3. That game was pretty sweet...
I was thinking the same thing! They both have the boy and girl sibling characters you choose between too.
"forget goldeneye Nightfire is where it's at!"
Get me a large CRT, a PS2 multitap and a bunch of PS2 controllers, as someone who played Nightfire multiplayer it's really amazing.
This was one of the games that was always in the back of my mind but at the same time couldn't remember much of it. Like a fever dream, were I wasn't quite sure if it had happened of not
here's an odd game to cover: Stretch Panic, also known as Freak Out in PAL regions. A PS2 game that has you play as a little girl who has to fight various bosses in the form of her sisters who are spossessed by demons who turns them into monsters based on their desires.
there's also this rail shooter on either PS1 or PS2 I enjoyed where you play as a little ear thing who explores several areas while you play as the guardian angel rpotecting the amnesiac bear from evil bats, mobsters, a phantom thief and robots
Oh man this game holds so much nostalgia for me. But in all honesty I could never finish the first level as a kid... it scared me too much.
...Yo, anyone else think that old man sounds like Gargamel from the Smurfs?
kinda looks like him too...
Not quite, but just enough gargamel was my first guess
As a heads up, the Steam version of the game just uses PCSX-Reloaded to emulate the PS1 version of the game.
So while you would technically be playing the graphically "best" version that way, there's no new content or any PC related features, just whatever the emulator ships with. Even then the default settings they use are awful and the controller support is nearly nonexistent. If anything, the Steam version is the WORST way to play it.
I'd recommend just buying a PS1 copy and running it on ePSXe for the absolute best experience.
I really liked this on the PS1. It's just flawed enough to be quirky and weird without being awful to play. Definitely deserved a sequel to really realise it's potential.
I remember playing this game on my PS1 as a kid but ended up forgetting the name of it years later. Thank you James!
40 winks was my first ever ps1 game and I love it probably my third fav ps1 game of all time.
What are the other two
Ah, finally you talk about it! This one was/is infamous as an almost Nintendo title and then an actual Nintendo title. So I've been looking forward to your thoughts on it since the Kickstarter, it's not often one gets to review a "new" N64 game.
Though I guess it's not that much different than the PS1 version in the end and there are some problems with the design. So uh, worth the wait?
Well the graphics are obviously easier to look at with the typical smoother tone the n64 gave over ps1. Also somehow the controls can feel more natural to some being a 3d game. If you own a hori pad especially…
14:50 - Battle for Bikini Bottom does a similar thing. 3 playable characters, areas only let you switch to 2 at specific places where they are needed though. Rather than a ton of characters wherever.
Love your channel for these! I grew up playing this, Jersey Devil, and others that I thought no one would ever remember. Thanks for the flashbacks
Beware, this is long
*repost since youtube seems to be hiding this comment for some reason?*
Loved this video nitro, and especially loved the part on Donkey Kong 64, personally I find the positives of DK64 HEAVILY outweigh the flaws for me personally and I absolutley ADORE the solution you had for it my man. I completely and fully aknowledge the games flaws such as some mini games being unbalanced and can sometimes feel unfair(agreed), or how like you mentioned the instant kong swapping problem(which personally never bothered me), and as well as the amount of collectibles if your going for 101%, which again, never personally bothered me since how I personally always played the game is beat it getting the required 100 out of 201 Golden bananas to beat the game, and THEN post game I ususally explore and get other stuff I missed through the worlds and continue on, making the game have great reaply value for me personally(I still do this personally with games today such as Super Mario Odyssey). The pros of DK64 for me personally outweigh the cons such as how I always felt the atmosphere of DK64 is unlike many 3d platformers I have ever played, DK64 usually always felt like a pretty dark game, from the dimented "GET OUT" voice that times you and tracks you with a crosshair, to creepy castle having legit terrifyingly well crafted unerving sections such as the corridor with the unsettling moaning sounds of death, or Frantic Factorys absolutely phenomenal creepy dark music mixing with the "Haunted Toy Factory" aesthetic, and how Crystals Caves how it goes to completely graceful and peaceful to out of nowhere the music becomes frantic and panicking while the cave pillars are collapsing upon you ! And i'm not alone on this sentiment of dk64 feeling darker than most 3D platformers of that time(or even to this day), the absolutely phenomenal soundtrack orchestrated by Grant kirkhope is particularly darker than BK or BT, Grant said this himself on a recent interview how he intended for Donkey Kong 64 soundtrack to be darker than the banjo games. Tracks as personally incredible, catchy, and magnificently orchestrated such as Mad Jack, Army Dillo Remach, Frantic Factory, Angry Aztec, Angry Aztec Temple, Crystal Caves, Fungi Forrest, etc. As well I always personally loved these types of games, exploring a 3D sandbox collectothons, so again I never was bothered by the amount of collectables personally. Another note I absolutely adored about this game and feel is always overlooked is the 4 player "Monkey Smash Multiplayer" mode. With 4 friends, 3 different selectables maps(well made multiplayer maps to imo), and everyone frantically shooting fruit weapons at eachother, throwing orange grenades, using the warp pads that take you to the homing ammo so you can basically become untouchable(and snipe people all the way on the other side of the map), or simply melee-ing it out! I know im in the minority but this is all personally me and my personal views and likes about the game. I would love to one day see you tackle this game and would love to see your honest thoughts about it!
P.S. Sorry for the horrifically long comment, just felt like I wanted to share this
k
... I WAS LITERALLY THINKING ABOUT THIS GAME A FEW NIGHTS AGO!! I read it in some Nintendo magazine with Megaman 64 also on it, and remembered there was this weird game I sort of just glanced over.
The quote on 40 Winks is actually "Move over Mario", as in without a coma, meaning that "Mario" is not a vocative calling him out but the object of the sentence.
They're telling us to "move over Mario". Probably so we can see better, I dunno.
This was my favorite game when i was little. The spooky vibes and tunes made the game very enjoyable, though i remember being frustrated multiple times because i always got stuck at the same point.
Omg, I loved this game on PS1! I remember it being so hard lol always enjoy your videos, but this one hits me right on the nostalgia.
Dude, this game JUST got delivered to me right now and then I see you reviewing it. Weird.
This feels like a lost Rareware game crossed with Artman animation.
Dude thanks so much for making these videos. They are always entertaining and really bring me back to what made me fall in love with video games when I was a kid. Not enough people talk about these older games in videos, and makes me feel like nobody ever played them. You should check out Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, that game was tons of fun from what I remember and was made way back in 2003.
Oh this was a surprise! 40 winks was a forgotten childhood game of mine! Awesome review here always!
"... Sphinx, and the Cursed Mummy- uh that's available on the Switch!"
Me: DROP. EVERYTHING. I need to beat that game after all these years!
I played this when i was very young, lots of nostalgia.
I'm so glad you covered 40 Winks, it was one of my first games ever and I still remember the excitement of beating the final boss with my dad when I was like 5 years old. Good times.
I love your editing dude. I can tell you put time into it
Dang, this game is a lot bigger than I thought. Thanks for reviewing this! I was always curious about it.
Came here from Boundary Break's Twitter. Fantastic video man! Now I want to play this so bad!
I've gotta say, I absolutely love your frequent usage of Hotel Dusk music in your videos. That series deserves any attention it can get.
My brother to this day refuses to play one of my favorite series of all time (Ratchet and Clank) because "It's a game for kids".
As he hunches over the latest NBA or COD...
"Do not turn rapidly the power switch on and off."
Yes, that is technically English.
I loved this game as a kid! So glad you reviewed it.
The main music is still an utterly fantastic piece of video game music.
I used to be terrified of this game, more-so than Silent Hill on the PS1 for some reason. Anything that tried to mix cute and creepy, I just found really scary. This, Medievil and so on. I was a weird kid...
Dude.. I remember this game! When I was younger I had to go to a daycare, and they had a range of consoles to play through.
This one always spooked me for some reason, but I always wanted to check it out, but I couldn't remember the name!
Thanks dude! I get to play this game now!
Who dares interrupt me listening to DMX - Where the Hood at?
Oh wait, it's my fav reviewer!
Finally, someone acknowledges that Nightfire exists.
Actually thanks a lot for reviewing this, I do still have a pile of PlayStation magazines and remember reading a walkthrough for this game and being interested in it when I was much younger.
the transition to SMGs opening was perfect
This game looks sick, can't believe I've never seen it before!
I see a new Nitro Rad vid... I click.
You fool its a trap
Wow, I have been looking for this game since forever. I knew I played it on a demo disk back in the day, but I just couldn't find the game again. Now I finally have!
As a person who loves video game cutscenes, 40 Winks has *movie quality* cutscenes. Like, damn.
FINALLLY! Thank You Nitro for this! I loved this game as a kid
Finally someone reviews it ;D
I know what you mean 😅😄
The villain in this game reminds me of I.M.Meen or something. :p
*_OH LOOK WHAT CLEVER CHIL-DREN_*
i really like that you give every game you play a fair review, even if it's a low rated game you still look to see what good points it has while also critically analysing it, that's why i think you're one of the best reviewers on youtube! i've learned about so many games i've never heard of =)
I played the demo of this back then. So nostalgic. You know man, I just really like the mood of your videos. Theyre so comfy and friendly. Been watching your stuff since the Siren reviews.
I wonder if Nitro will ever do the Jak series?
I'm still waiting for Sphinx and the cursed mummy 2
humongous mood
Love that game with the switching between the characters to solve the puzzles, there was even a Pokemon style feature if I remember where you caught creatures with scarabs and used them to get past obstacles like the armadillos which could set things on fire
Thank you for covering this... no ever really knew about this game and it was one of my favorites growing up ❤️❤️the animation was very good for its time though and still holds true
The game was named
"Ruff & Tumble" in Germany.
The cutscenes were pretty good as far as I remember.
This giant Lucario plush.... hand it over.
Nightcap kinda sounds like Gleeman Vox From Ratchet: Deadlocked or Ratchet: Gladiator in PAL regions
When I was a kid I was friends with our nextdoor neighbors kid and she had this game. And until recently, I completely forgot the name of it. I only remembered the character select screen and a little of the first level. I almost started to think maybe I imagined it because I couldn't find it anywhere and it didn't help that I forgot the title. I'm glad to know it was actually a real game.
The "Move over Mario" quote reminds me of when I saw a magazine add for Dark Cloud that called it the "Zelda Killer." For whatever reason, there was little enough context that I didn't understand that it was referring to the game Zelda and not the character. I thought that there was a Legend of Zelda game about Link being framed for Zelda's assassination or something.
I still own the ps1 game. Old but Gold.
You should review the De Blob games, really underrated
I remember seeing adds for this a few times for the 64 version and never got around to playing it(not that I could apparently) and let it slip from my mind until today when I saw this in my feed. Thanks for this.
I played this game on a playstation demo disk once. You brought back a super old memory for me. Thanks bud
Wait, isn't ruff's voice the same as the pepperoni guy in that old lego island game ?
Nope, Pepper was voiced by John Morris, who also voiced Andy in the Toy Story films
@@TenshiCat thanks for the information 😊
I always use too confuse this and rascal God knows why
the little smoke trail on the candle looks so cool!
OMG THOSE CUTSCENES!! Those models, that fluid animation... Just AMAZING for the N64...!!
awesome to hear that sphinx has been released on the switch
The Steam version is just a iso of the ps1 version packaged with pcsxr. And the config is horrible. The steam version is the worst version if you dont know much about emulator set ups
Those pre-rendered PS1 cutscenes look bloody amazing for the time. Back then I thought something like Heart of Darkness had the best cutscenes ever, but these are so good they could easily be passed off as PS2 stuff and I'd believe it.
9:12 “Every time I hear that sound all I can think of is”
*ad plays*
Where did you get that giant Lucario?
Humans are friends not food probably ordered from a Pokémon center that is in Japan or some other big Pokémon product company
Hi nitro rad can you please review rocket robot on wheels for the n64
Well done on covering this forgotten intrigue, Nitro!
I honestly wouldn't have known about half these games you review, so thanks for that!.
