When I was a kid my parents couldn't afford to get me a Nintendo 64 for Christmas, and miraculously my mother won one from Taco Bell. They had a promotion running called "score 64 and win". My mom was really depressed at how me and my brother only asked for the one shared gift, and we couldn't afford it, she had a dream that night in which she saw my dead grandfather on the beach and he told her everything was gonna be okay. The next day she stopped at taco bell drive through for a soda after work (something she'd never done before), and peeled off the label on the cup and found out that we won. On Christmas day after me and my brother opened all our gifts, we tried to not let the disappointment on our faces show because we knew the situation, and while we hadn't gotten what we hoped for, we didn't want it to show. My parents then had us open this one last gift. Me and my bro unwrapped a plastic taco bell cup, (the 64 hadn't arrived in the mail yet) and were confused until they said "read it", we did, and we lost our minds with happiness. You always see those contests, and you think nobody ever wins, but they do. Till this day, I still can't believe it happened, and made it the most memorable Christmas of my life. God is good.
I won one at Taco bell too with GoldenEye. No one at school believed me until I took it in my backpack then all the kids wanted to come over and be my friend lol The old days were the best.
Let me save your time and summarise the video: 10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do: 1. A company made a third party device that lets you connect N64 controllers to your PC. 2. The game Pokémon Stadium comes with a device that lets you play Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow though an N64. 3. A company made a third party controller in a glove style. 4. Nintendo released an Expansion Pak for the N64. It is required for some games, and improves performance on some others. 5. Nintendo released an N64 add on in Japan that would allow it to connect to the internet. 6. A company made a third party device that lets you play NES and SNES games on an N64. 7. Nintendo had a deal to put N64s in some hotels. 8. That add on in number 5 came with a mouse and keyboard. 9. A company made a third party device to let you play foreign region locked games on an N64. 10. A company made a third party device that could download cheat codes from the internet for your N64. So, that's 0/10 that my N64 can do without buying other products...
Literally number 5 is the only one that’s interesting. And, even then it’s not interesting enough to hold up an entire list of 9 others practically useless facts.
This is why I use adblock. They don't get to make any money off viewers like me. This video was a waste of almost 3min. of my life I will never get back.
Since we got blueballed on shit the N64 can *actually* do, here's one: If you disassemble your N64, there is a grey plastic housing for the bottom of your cartridges. With some snips, cut the corners out of it carefully. Your console can now play Japanese region games flawlessly. They are significantly cheaper than American copies, and a lot of the games you care about are very playable with zero Japanese.
I remember the N64 controllers in hotel rooms back in the day. Costed a comically outrageous amount of money to play games and the TVs were usually designed to prevent me from plugging in my own N64 I would bring on most of those trips...
I fail to realize why anyone would want to pay those outrageous rental prices just to save a backpack worth of stuff. I mean the N64 was sorta big, but it was not as thick as the Xbox (iir correctly) and the controllers could be stacked in a manner where they kinda scissored themselves and all of it combined only use up like the bottom half of a school backpack, where you can then throw clothes and toiletries on top... literally a large sized school backpack could carry all the essentials you need. You are a snob if you are just going to Disneyland or whatever tourist site for a week and can't be bothered to bring your N64 but be fine to pay $40 a day to play a video game. I remember being 15 when those things came to the televisions in Hotels, and I was glad I didn't have to be interrupted playing Majora's Mask every hour or so because I just decided to not be a lazy snob.
RazorEdge oh wow, bringing home consoles around during travels... That reminds me of bringing my gamecube to a family's place far away and playing a lot of Metroid Prime and SSBM. I'm getting nostalgic noa lol
Actually that was how I first got into video games when I was 5 year s old they offered the SNES to play in hotel rooms and my parents actually let me play it on vacations, although only for an hour since the rental rates were expensive. However I fell in love with Super Mario World and it was the first video game I ever played.
Nobody I grew up with ever deemed it worth the money. I remember getting excited the first time I saw one in a hotel room, and then I thought it was bullshit that you had to pay for it. If it was only like 10 bucks a night I would have pushed for it, but the price was just stupid (and would have preferred multiplayer Goldeneye or something).
Considering how he's holding the controller in the beginning of the video im gonna guess its the first time he ever held one. NOBODY USES THE LEFT SIDE YOU HOLD THE MIDDLE AND RIGHT PART.
Still use game shark used to have Nintendo and game genie but they broke still have SNES and n64 and xbox the original one and the nes Japan system family game
I got to try one of those special hotel 64s when I was a kid. Nobody I've ever mentioned this to seemingly ever got to do the same though, so I was never sure if I just imagined it. Glad to know I'm not crazy!
The leap from 8bit to 16, to 32 and 64 was so severe and breathtaking. I feel now we've reached a point where it all looks the same, just with better lighting
The N64 was far too slow, and without the RAM expansion, it was horrible. Most of the N64 games were also actually 16MB and 32MB of storage, with only a couple of games actually using 64MB of storage due to the production cost of the 64MB cartridges. The N64 was completely out-classed by the PlayStation due to CD-R's. Technology won.
@@WardenOfTerra you're remembering things wrong. The N64 had every advantage possible over the PlayStation at the time, with the exception of storage. The CD was good, but some of those games took minutes to load and usually the only downside to the n64 variant was less music. On the flip side the n64 was barely higher resolution and better frame rates for games on both consoles, and the 3d effect was top notch, not that glitchy mess the PlayStation had. It was a genuine powerhouse compared to the PlayStation
choppy loading blocky graphics and unnecessary cut scenes as fillers I think the n64 was far classier smoother experience I just think it was in a rush to get the competition without realising the hardwares full potential but I agree that memory was an issue that Nintendo should of addressed early on
Actually GameBoy Tower was accessible immediately. You could unlock higher speeds by beating the Stadium modes, but the tower was usable from the start.
Why wouldn't you?! It's only the most revolutionary console in existence, but the GAMES, the plethora of AMAZING games is why I binge on the N64 for long periods of time
I play it a lot, but i feel there are some games that are just not playable anymore. Like super smash bros. one of my favorite games growing up. i was a monster with Kirby, and Pikachu, but i can not enjoy the game anymore. I prefer Brawl (or more specifically, Project M) That said, Mario Party 2 and Mario party 3 get played almost every time i power it up.Same with Ocarina of time.
wow i had no idea after all this time, the n64 games that said on the box "designed for the expansion pack" would indeed utilize the expansion pack, crazy world we live in man.
I still have my N64 in storage, it's there, and while I don't use it every day, I'll tell you that Starfox 64 greatly depended on the expansion pack even though it came out long before the release of the addon.
Considering the fact he said you have to complete pokemon stadium to unlock the gameboy tower despite the fact its unlocked from the beginning of the game, This stupid fuck probably docent even know what DD stands for.
The N64 expansion pack is why WWF No Mercy was the greatest wrestling game ever. If you didn't have the expansion pack, it was really slow. But with the expansion pack, that game was so fluid.
Ninty was working on a idea where the Gameboy pocket would use the Game Camera to take a picture of yourself, and then attach your gameboy camera to your N64, and it would load up a image of your face, and map it onto a character in Perfect Dark, so essentially you could play as yourself in Perfect Dark multiplayer. I remember reading this in my N64 gaming mag. I dont think they could get it to work in the end, but just think how awesome that would have been. The N64 was such a underrated games console, Im sure it was more powerful than the PS1, it felt like it was.
I LOVED the N64 remotes in hotel rooms. Lol. I would always beg my dad to let me play, despite me having one at home. It just felt more fun for some reason 😂 But man, was it expensive. One hour of play was like 7 dollars
"10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do" is a bit of a misleading title-- I mean, they make it sound like your N64 can hack the pentagon. It should just be "10 Pieces of N64 Trivia."
I thought it was just me who disliked the "buying extra parts for the N64" thing. I just got an N64 yesterday and the games are expensive as hell nowadays. I don't have enough money to shell out for more stuff which could possibly even more expensive than one if the main games. (such as Mario, Star Fox, or Zelda)
You should have stockpiled when Gamestop had its used N64 games on clearance, but the top-notch, most sought after titles were always annoyingly expensive once discontinued like Mario64.
@@commanderbrickbreaker45 I'm 35, I was in my early twenties when Gamestop cleared out its used N64 cartridges, so you must have been too young. I scored a good haul at one Gamestop and quit, and now I wish I had visited a few more that same day to score whatever else looks good. I also scored a couple of good deals on eBay. I wound up with three copies of Perfect Dark by accident. I also ended up regretting Aiydin(?) Chronicles, an ARPG that looks like it was rushed out the door by high schoolers. That's three cartridges I resold. I remember thinking to myself to forget about any gems like Banjo-Kazooie or Mariokart, those are too sought after and expensive to be found easily and at as low a price as the rest, if the Gamestop employees themselves didn't take them home to flip for a profit over eBay.
10 things that you knew or aren't actually things. Plus who didn't know about the expansion Pak? It was advertised heavily at the time and even now people know all about its uses with games. Plus using a controller on a PC is not a thing the console could do same with it being in a hotel room that's just a place where it is found.
The n64 video captures you show are really high res. Are these taken from an emulator? Can you explain what setup you're using? I've never seen n64 look so good!
emulators can render N64 in far greater quality, up to a point, but the low-poly count becomes more glaringly obvious look up Project64 if you haven't by now I'm used to it, having grown up with the N64 and original Xbox, but I don't expect younger generations to like the blocky models and pixellated sprites and textures.
I still have my 64 that i had since the year 2000 when i was eight years old...this is a cool list to me despite the negative comments on here,i did however knew back then about playing pokemon blue,red,yellow version on Pokemon stadium as a kid lol. Good times
Hello to those, US addresses, interested here is a 1/24/2018 listing for my Nintedon 64 7 game bundle with a memory card www.ebay.com/itm/162867479137?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
I remember the n64 and gamecube hotel versions. It was a cool concept to be honest. See kids today think all this stuff is just gross and nasty old but it was cutting edge at the time. To put it in perspective, 20 years from now, kids are gonna complain and say that 4k gaming is gross and low res. It sounds crazy but its gonna happen.
lmao N64 and gamecube were never "Cutting edge" the hardware in them was simply made more acccessible than the hardware you'd need to build a beefy gaming PC back in the 90's because PC building was much more decentralized with lots of bits having specific connectors so they only worked with exclusive parts and firmware and software compatibility were still not universal, the closest you could get were 386s and 486s which were more expensive and in home adoption at the time.
Who in the heck liking this video?! The title is a lie. Legit this video is more about third party items, 2 games that came with their own accessories, and items that was released in Japan only. This video had no secrets whatsoever. If you really want a secret here's one. If you want to see what the inside of a Nintendo 64 looks like but don't want to open up yours. Don't worry someone already did that, just Google it.
I love the in 64 because I always saw it as something like a first-person shooter machine with the great design of the controller and all the Stellar first person shooters that came out for it
The fact they they are talking about "people wanting to find a way to play game boy games on their TV" and not making any sort of reference to the Super Game Boy, makes it very obvious that whoever made this video doesn't know a damn thing about video games as a whole.
Using a dual stick controller works well for N64 games, just map the right stick to the C buttons, and set up everything else how you'd normally have a controller set up and you're done. Well, that's how I do it anyway.
for people wondering how to set up a regular controller for your n64 emulator try this. left dpad and joystick, L and R, Start are the same. Z is L2, C buttons are the 4 buttons on the other side, B is L2 and A is y+ (y+ is up) on the second joystick. depending on the game I would recommend setting L2 as the more commonly used button and flicking the right joystick up as the least used. This is probably as close as you're going to get with a normal controller.
The Power Glove failed, cause of production cost cuts that used cheaper work arounds for motion sensing. The technology originally in mind would have made the glove too expensive and fragile.
PSA: The memory pack upgrade was not a graphics processor, but simply more RAM for the system. The original advertisement made it out to be a device that made graphics look better, but in actuality, the N64 was (at stock) capable of producing finer graphics. The issue was that a cartridge could include "high res textures" and "more detailed polygon models", but had nowhere to dump these high res files because they wouldn't fit in the stock RAM until you included the RAM upgrade... THEN the cartridge could dump the high res files onto the RAM and thus play a game that looks better. Some games included both the low res files and high res files and you simply enabled it in the game's options.
Embassy Suites has this lodge net thing. I remember that. Always at an Embassy Suites I see those altered N64 controllers... I miss that part of my childhood always coming into the hotel room and asking my mother if it was okay to play Star Fox 64. $60 for an hour was a really good price but you had to kick in the afterburners to literally get through the game like I mentioned.
A bit late of a comment but correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the only difference between Japan and NA cartridges the back part? So you could just unscrew the cartridge and swap the backs. The game would be in japanese but some games that wouldn’t matter too much.
I not have N64, only SNES, but I saw Mario 64, and I very like this game. And I will be playing Mario 64 on emulator when my N64 usb controller will arrive. And I want to play in Doom64, and StarFox64 too. 🙂
Console online gaming was out way before the Nintendo 64 with the x-band service for Genesis and Super Nintendo, even so, there were modem adapters for PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast as well.
Oh look, I made the mistake of clicking on a video from TheGamer claiming to tell me things I didn't know about the N64, where the thumb nail is just pointing at the N64 logo and will probably have nothing to do with the actual listicle. Lets see how stupid this gets. 0:23 no, I will not subscribe. I kind of with you guys would die. #1 Knew it, that's been around for years. #2 You're 18 years late on that one, I knew about that when I opened Pokémon Stadium on Christmas morning. #3 OK to be honest I didn't know about this one, but I also didn't know about another 3rd party controller that had a design meant for people with only 2 arms before I found it at a thrift store either. 3rd party controller variants back in the day were super common with everyone trying to make their own I'm not surprised it exists. #4 Knew about expansion pack, I had many games that would say "expansion pack found." #5 That's a pretty common piece of N64 and Nintendo trivia. #6 OK, that one was interesting. I think I saw something about that add-on before, but I can't say for certain. #7 My family used to sometimes make it a point to go to hotels with lodgenet. I remember playing those a lot, and I have a complete set of lodgenet controllers, most old-new stock. Oh, and you're wrong about the "rent on an hourly or *daily* basis." It was hourly and only hourly. You might be able to find ONE hotel that allowed daily, but in the dozens of hotels I went to, it was only hourly, and it was stupid expensive ($6.95 plus tax per hour). #8 If I knew about #5 then I knew about this one. #9 There's always one of these for cartridge based consoles. There's multiple different region unlocking adapters. #10 OK that's unique and I didn't know about that add-on. Technically it's not the N64 doing it (in much the same way your TV is not playing videogames), but you can have that one. 2/10 Not as bad as normal, but your title is still a filthy lie.
One redeeming feature of this video is that the source material is actually cited by name in the video itself. It's a lot better than these huge media outlets who don't even mention the name of the original content creator. I know it's catching someone doing what they're supposed to, but it's nice to see that in one of these videos for a change.

Ninty was working on a idea where the Gameboy pocket would use the Game Camera to take a picture of yourself, and then attach your gameboy camera to your N64, and it would load up a image of your face, and map it onto a character in Perfect Dark, so essentially you could play as yourself in Perfect Dark multiplayer. I remember reading this in my N64 gaming mag.
I dont think they could get it to work in the end, but just think how awesome that would have been. The N64 was such a underrated games console, Im sure it was more powerful than the PS1, it felt like it was.
I knew all of these, and they have nothing to even do with the console, really. Just accessories.
I LOVED the N64 remotes in hotel rooms. Lol.
I would always beg my dad to let me play, despite me having one at home.
It just felt more fun for some reason 😂
But man, was it expensive.
One hour of play was like 7 dollars
I envy you. I never got the luxury of an N64 in a hotel. I’m too young. 😭
Holy shit!!! the n64 controller has a start button?!?!?
Mind blown :0
HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW!
Yes
...
Completely Random OMG woah
"10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do" is a bit of a misleading title-- I mean, they make it sound like your N64 can hack the pentagon. It should just be "10 Pieces of N64 Trivia."

@@TheGamerVideos Your point being?
The new thumbnail is even more stupid than the first one on this video. It is a arrow pointing to the sticker on the console.
It's because there is a video made by an minor channel that really shows some cool things about the N64 and one of them was about the console logo.
Ohhh soooo nostalgic!!!! I'm only 12 but I remember excitebike 64. So many memories!!!
Un, the first thing doesn't even qualify as its what a pc can do with an n64 controller. The system ain't even involved
I like how his name is the gamer but he doesn't know how to hold the controller
PFFTT BWAHAHAHAHAHA XD
Wow this was a horrible list, with a clickbaity title. Thumbed down, will ignore this channel.
Good choice. Watch for cringe.
@@kyndull THIS CHANNEL IS HAUNTING ME TO WATCH IT!
I thought it was just me who disliked the "buying extra parts for the N64" thing. I just got an N64 yesterday and the games are expensive as hell nowadays. I don't have enough money to shell out for more stuff which could possibly even more expensive than one if the main games. (such as Mario, Star Fox, or Zelda)
You should have stockpiled when Gamestop had its used N64 games on clearance, but the top-notch, most sought after titles were always annoyingly expensive once discontinued like Mario64.
@@Jason75913 When did they have N64 games on clearance?
@@commanderbrickbreaker45 many years ago
@@Jason75913 Oh okay, I dunno if it was in my lifetime though, lmao. I'm 20.
@@commanderbrickbreaker45 I'm 35, I was in my early twenties when Gamestop cleared out its used N64 cartridges, so you must have been too young.
I scored a good haul at one Gamestop and quit, and now I wish I had visited a few more that same day to score whatever else looks good. I also scored a couple of good deals on eBay. I wound up with three copies of Perfect Dark by accident. I also ended up regretting Aiydin(?) Chronicles, an ARPG that looks like it was rushed out the door by high schoolers. That's three cartridges I resold.
I remember thinking to myself to forget about any gems like Banjo-Kazooie or Mariokart, those are too sought after and expensive to be found easily and at as low a price as the rest, if the Gamestop employees themselves didn't take them home to flip for a profit over eBay.
Why didn't you include play games?
What was the N64 cartridge with the RCA connectors used for? (Saw on Facebook)
10 things that you knew or aren't actually things. Plus who didn't know about the expansion Pak? It was advertised heavily at the time and even now people know all about its uses with games. Plus using a controller on a PC is not a thing the console could do same with it being in a hotel room that's just a place where it is found.
WHAT!?
THE NINTENDO 64 HAS A LOGO ON IT
I NEVER KNEW THAT
MY LIFE IS A LIE
Is this supposed to be a parody? It sucks as a "fact-video" and it would even suck as a parody...
Nope, I know this channel well. This serious.
The n64 video captures you show are really high res. Are these taken from an emulator? Can you explain what setup you're using? I've never seen n64 look so good!
emulators can render N64 in far greater quality, up to a point, but the low-poly count becomes more glaringly obvious
look up Project64 if you haven't by now
I'm used to it, having grown up with the N64 and original Xbox, but I don't expect younger generations to like the blocky models and pixellated sprites and textures.
Who is sad that Nintendo 64 DD Was cancelled

Its not that great honestly, im a collector and its a low priority item.
I still have my 64 that i had since the year 2000 when i was eight years old...this is a cool list to me despite the negative comments on here,i did however knew back then about playing pokemon blue,red,yellow version on Pokemon stadium as a kid lol. Good times
Nobody:
The thumbnail: woah! It’s a N64
WOW! I NEVER KNEW THAT EXISTED!
WOW! I NEVER KNEW THAT EXISTED!
Not many people have gold n64 controllers the controller and gold set in general are pretty rare collectors items
Does this work on a New N64 too?!
:'D
0 New N64s are existant

2:05 - Whoa, you don't have to unlock GB Tower in Stadium! It's there from the start, you only have to unlock the speed-up modes for it!
who said it was old.......I played mine yesterday.
Ethan Peeples bc its from 1996
I Played Mine In 2017 And It Still Works After All These Years!
Ethan Peeples Just cause you played doesn't mean its new
xXLightXx Videos yea and I played on a commodore 64 from 1982 and it still works...... I dont see what the big deal is.
Hello to those, US addresses, interested here is a 1/24/2018 listing for my Nintedon 64 7 game bundle with a memory card www.ebay.com/itm/162867479137?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
This is more like 10 cool n64 peripherals
I remember the n64 and gamecube hotel versions. It was a cool concept to be honest. See kids today think all this stuff is just gross and nasty old but it was cutting edge at the time. To put it in perspective, 20 years from now, kids are gonna complain and say that 4k gaming is gross and low res. It sounds crazy but its gonna happen.
I still have my n64 and GameCube hooked up via hdmi sitting next to my ps5 lol
lmao N64 and gamecube were never "Cutting edge" the hardware in them was simply made more acccessible than the hardware you'd need to build a beefy gaming PC back in the 90's because PC building was much more decentralized with lots of bits having specific connectors so they only worked with exclusive parts and firmware and software compatibility were still not universal, the closest you could get were 386s and 486s which were more expensive and in home adoption at the time.
Who in the heck liking this video?! The title is a lie.
Legit this video is more about third party items, 2 games that came with their own accessories, and items that was released in Japan only.
This video had no secrets whatsoever. If you really want a secret here's one.
If you want to see what the inside of a Nintendo 64 looks like but don't want to open up yours. Don't worry someone already did that, just Google it.
Am i early ?
Better make a joke . . .
This entire channel
OOOOOOOHHHH GOTTEM
Top 10 things your n64 could've done or is slightly n64 related
Good video but the title is beyond misleading.
No, not good video.
Where can I buy the adapter for the 64 that allows you to play nes games and snes games? I want one!
there was no online gaming back then. there was no 'online' back then. why don't remember this? O yeah cuz you were born in 2000
Internet Gaming has been around since at least the regular Nintendo in Japan.
Lawl. I remember the play dates just to play multiplayer video games.
I love the in 64 because I always saw it as something like a first-person shooter machine with the great design of the controller and all the Stellar first person shooters that came out for it
Who still has Nintendo 64?
anyone that's actually cool, get with it!

Me
I have a computer, so I just emulated a N64
Basically the thumbnail in a nutshell: WOW THE N64 LOGO IS THERE?!?!?! WOAH I NEVER KNEW THAT!!!!!
This is the first video I ever disliked...
I liked this information here I had no idea about these options, cool stuff.
Can we get this channel terminated too
I love some of his videos. This video does need a different title.
NOPE
Why does Mario Kart and Goldeneye look so much better in this video than it does in real life???🤔🤨
Good list I hadn't heard about most of those. I have the expansion pack but I wasn't aware it helped upgrade the quality of some of the existing games
The fact they they are talking about "people wanting to find a way to play game boy games on their TV" and not making any sort of reference to the Super Game Boy, makes it very obvious that whoever made this video doesn't know a damn thing about video games as a whole.
OMG! My N64 can play games?? I didn’t know that?!!
Using a dual stick controller works well for N64 games, just map the right stick to the C buttons, and set up everything else how you'd normally have a controller set up and you're done. Well, that's how I do it anyway.
for people wondering how to set up a regular controller for your n64 emulator try this.
left dpad and joystick, L and R, Start are the same.
Z is L2, C buttons are the 4 buttons on the other side, B is L2 and A is y+ (y+ is up) on the second joystick. depending on the game I would recommend setting L2 as the more commonly used button and flicking the right joystick up as the least used. This is probably as close as you're going to get with a normal controller.
The Power Glove failed, cause of production cost cuts that used cheaper work arounds for motion sensing. The technology originally in mind would have made the glove too expensive and fragile.
Had no idea my ol' sturdy N64 could be a USB adapter! Amazing.
10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do
>proceeds to name nothing but 3rd party accessories
PSA: The memory pack upgrade was not a graphics processor, but simply more RAM for the system. The original advertisement made it out to be a device that made graphics look better, but in actuality, the N64 was (at stock) capable of producing finer graphics. The issue was that a cartridge could include "high res textures" and "more detailed polygon models", but had nowhere to dump these high res files because they wouldn't fit in the stock RAM until you included the RAM upgrade... THEN the cartridge could dump the high res files onto the RAM and thus play a game that looks better. Some games included both the low res files and high res files and you simply enabled it in the game's options.
For the controller USB adapter is there an alternitive adapter where i can use the controller with TB e usb on my 64. I can't find any n64 controllers
If you put stickers on your N64, then your N64 could have stickers on it.
I bought my n64 from a second hand store and apparently even to my knowledge had the expansion pack in it. Only problem is idk how to get it out. Lol
Embassy Suites has this lodge net thing.
I remember that. Always at an Embassy Suites I see those altered N64 controllers...
I miss that part of my childhood always coming into the hotel room and asking my mother if it was okay to play Star Fox 64.
$60 for an hour was a really good price but you had to kick in the afterburners to literally get through the game like I mentioned.
I still have my N64 and games, plus Gameshark, today. I bought it back in 1997 and built a wooded, made of sassafras, box in shop class.
This really take me back dude.
6:43 During my senior trip to Disney World, I had an N64 in my room. It was awesome. Didn't play a single game because it cost I think $50 to use.
A bit late of a comment but correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the only difference between Japan and NA cartridges the back part? So you could just unscrew the cartridge and swap the backs. The game would be in japanese but some games that wouldn’t matter too much.
I not have N64, only SNES, but I saw Mario 64, and I very like this game. And I will be playing Mario 64 on emulator when my N64 usb controller will arrive. And I want to play in Doom64, and StarFox64 too. 🙂
10 things I didn't know my N64 could do!
1) A usb adapter for PC...
Off to a great start...
Console online gaming was out way before the Nintendo 64 with the x-band service for Genesis and Super Nintendo, even so, there were modem adapters for PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast as well.
woah look at the N64 label the arrow is pointing too!! it’s so cool and epic 😎
I love how this is supposed to be a list of things your N64 can do and yet the first thing they show is a N64 controller adapter for your *pc.*
Oh look, I made the mistake of clicking on a video from TheGamer claiming to tell me things I didn't know about the N64, where the thumb nail is just pointing at the N64 logo and will probably have nothing to do with the actual listicle. Lets see how stupid this gets.
0:23 no, I will not subscribe. I kind of with you guys would die.
#1 Knew it, that's been around for years.
#2 You're 18 years late on that one, I knew about that when I opened Pokémon Stadium on Christmas morning.
#3 OK to be honest I didn't know about this one, but I also didn't know about another 3rd party controller that had a design meant for people with only 2 arms before I found it at a thrift store either. 3rd party controller variants back in the day were super common with everyone trying to make their own I'm not surprised it exists.
#4 Knew about expansion pack, I had many games that would say "expansion pack found."
#5 That's a pretty common piece of N64 and Nintendo trivia.
#6 OK, that one was interesting. I think I saw something about that add-on before, but I can't say for certain.
#7 My family used to sometimes make it a point to go to hotels with lodgenet. I remember playing those a lot, and I have a complete set of lodgenet controllers, most old-new stock. Oh, and you're wrong about the "rent on an hourly or *daily* basis." It was hourly and only hourly. You might be able to find ONE hotel that allowed daily, but in the dozens of hotels I went to, it was only hourly, and it was stupid expensive ($6.95 plus tax per hour).
#8 If I knew about #5 then I knew about this one.
#9 There's always one of these for cartridge based consoles. There's multiple different region unlocking adapters.
#10 OK that's unique and I didn't know about that add-on. Technically it's not the N64 doing it (in much the same way your TV is not playing videogames), but you can have that one.
2/10 Not as bad as normal, but your title is still a filthy lie.
things you didnt know your n64 can do
number 1: hook your controller up to a pc.
One redeeming feature of this video is that the source material is actually cited by name in the video itself. It's a lot better than these huge media outlets who don't even mention the name of the original content creator. I know it's catching someone doing what they're supposed to, but it's nice to see that in one of these videos for a change.
I was in a hotel in Winter Park, CO that had N64s in the rooms. I remember renting Rampage on it. Fun times.
