"what to do with my hands" it's intended to be held either with the joystick prong or the d-pad prong. This was designed and made before joysticks on controllers were commonplace and Nintendo didn't know if people could handle the complexity of using both a d-pad and a joystick at the same time, so the idea is you could develop a game for either d-pad or joystick controls and people could use the same controller for both games just by switching which part they held with their left hand. Lots of the N64 design decisions make sense when you realize nobody knew what they were doing yet and everyone was figuring out this 3D thing. Lakitu was the camera man in SM64 because they worried people wouldn't understand a 3D camera without that expansion.
with the transfer pack with the pokemon stadium games, if you didn't have any friends, you could evolve your trade pokemon by yourself by trading them from your gb games to the stadium games
Also, there was the unlockable speedup feature for the GB Tower. That was an absolute GODSEND for grinding your team for Stadium. And in the sequel you could play as "secret Pokemon" in the mini games if you had one on your team. For example, owning a Pikachu in Yellow allowed you to play as one in Pichu's Power Planet. It would display its nickname and everything.
i hated that so much until one day a kid at school offered to take my gameboy home with him. i let him have it and the next day my pokemon were evolved. were still friends to this day that was all the way back in 2nd grade in 2002.
I had the madcatz version of a rumble/save pak that just had a lil switch to flip between the two, but I also remember it flashing across the screen to insert rumble on rumble specific games
I have never understood why the rumble pack required batteries when I was younger, because I used to assume that it should get powers from the cord it self
The Wide boy64 and WideBoy Advance were meant for developers and the Pres to have an easy way to show off games and capture screenshots for magazines and press releases. They were developed by Intelligent Systems for Nintendo for those purposes.
5:33 - Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Stadium 2, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Perfect Dark & Mickey's Speedway USA was the games that Nintendo marketed the Transfer Pack for. Other then them, I don't remember any more games. If there are then they are truly obscure ones that where poorly marketed (!)
What is said about 4:00 that one you had to choose between using the pak to save or rumble and you couldn't do both in the same game is wrong. Of course you could. While at the save menu, you was prompt to make the swap if you wanted to. The tremor pak did nothing different than that, while it was within a single piece of hardware its switch button made the controller consider it has either a memory card or rumble pak but it worked at the time the game was meant for it while checking the device inserted in the controller.
34:37 You forgot to mention Mario Artist Polygon Studio having a compilation of micro-games in the same style as WarioWare Inc. These micro-games served as a prototype of what's to come for the WarioWare games three years later.

You didn’t mention one of the best uses for the GameShark: playing imports! Nintendo did a pretty good job of releasing their best stuff outside of Japan, and the system didn’t have a ton of third-party support, so there aren’t a ton of Japanese exclusives that are worth playing (at least not ones that didn’t have a massive language barrier, like that train game), but the N64 is region-free. Like North America, Japan is an NTSC region, so Nintendo used the same motherboards for both versions of the N64 (and the SNES before it, which can also be modified in the way I’m about to describe)). The only thing preventing you from playing Japanese games on your North American N64 (or vice-versa) are a couple of plastic tabs in the cartridge slot that can easily be removed. If you don’t want to do that (or replace the back half of the Japanese cartridge with that of an American donor), the GameShark works perfectly as a pass-through converter. Hyperkin also makes a converter now that not only allows cross-NTSC play, but enables an NTSC system to play PAL games (in other words, European/Australian import). There aren’t enough PAL exclusives to justify the $40 price tag in my book (really, NONE of the PAL exclusives interest me), but the option is always there. Selection may not be that great, but there is one pretty good reason to get into N64 imports, and that’s saving money. The Japanese versions are usually quite a bit cheaper, so if the game you want to play doesn’t have much text in it anyway, why not? “Mario Kart 64” and the original “Super Smash Bros.” are fairly common imports for this exact reason.
The Super Joy III really has nothing to do with the N64 despite being shaped like the controller. As this selection of built-in games would suggest, it’s a Famiclone, complete with 60 pin cartridge slot more or less where the Z-button would go. You can even run NES carts on it if you have a 72-60 pin adapter, though it’s not very practical. I have a few that I picked up at thrift stores with the intention of using them for various projects. Famicom cartridges fit just fine (if a little too tight, the plastic slot is a bit too small) but the pins don’t latch onto cartridges very firmly. You can stick the pin converter in there and an NES game in the pin converter but (aside from the same awkwardness that came with using the Rumble Pack or Transfer Pack on the N64, only more so since an NES cartridge is a lot bigger) the slightest bump will break the connection if the weight of all of that stuff hanging off off of the Super Joy doesn’t pull it out of the pins. Anyway, it actually had a successor. By all accounts, it uses pretty much the same internals, but the Super Joy IV (fittingly) is modeled after the Gamecube’s controller.
Small correction: N64 is much more capable with graphics than the PS1, but mainly struggles with having much less memory for games. You simply can't get a game like Ocarina of Time or Majora's mask on the 32bit hardware of the Saturn or PS1, no matter how much room for data you have
was seaeching for a comment like yours. the video is interesting but it seems like the guy who did it has no clue about what he is talking in some cases. i raised an eyebrow when he said you had to choose between the memory pack or the rumble pack, which isnt true at all but hey not that important what i cant let slide is he saying that the ps1 was miles ahead of the n64 in graphics bc of the disc format. thankfully you already said that wasnt the case AT ALL.
@@arkalberto Yeah, he definitely made a few mistakes when discussing the N64. With it being my first console, and my favourite, I know a bit about it, haha. I've also played PS1 and yeah, it's no contest when it comes to graphics vs the N64. The disc format mainly just allowed the PS1 games to be way bigger than N64 games.
The only reason why I ever used the rumble pack is 2 reasons first is internal saving feature on a lot of the games pro wrestling/shooter games even though every version of Super Mario 64 I have/had and my cousins have/had and friends have/had included the rumble feature we never used it
You literally and unironically could swap between the rumble pack and the memory card. Any game that required a memory card and supported rumble had a prompt both before and after saving to let you know when it was safe to swap them.
Fun fact: Madcatz released an extremely obscure and rare 2nd version of the Force pak called the "force pak +". It lets you switch from low rumble, high rumble, and saving at will, which is pretty cool. I have one and it's still holding my saves, but the rumble never worked, battery slot is filled with rust. (And when I say obscure, there's like one expired Ebay listing for it and that's the only reference to it online)
Granted, Yes the internet was NOT "as cooll" back in 1999.. Google was JUST a baby still barley learning to walk. Internet was slower & you had to PAY for PRON sites if you wanted to access such stuff. There was a battle between Apple desktop computing and PC desktop computing users at the time. (Now it's Apple ios & Android cell / mobile phones). Online gaming had Starcraft and you still had what was left of AOL. Chat things at the time were : A.I.M. & MSN Hotmail Messenger. Internet is FASTER and better now, depending on whom you ask.
4:15 Wait. Can you plug a Tremor Pak set to rumble, into a Tremor Pak set to rumble? Or even plug a Transfer Pak into a Tremor Pak into a Tremor Pak? Just lug a big ol cube of destruction Can you plug in a train of Tremor Paks set to rumble into each other, and then plug the first one into the fishing controller or that glove thing?
most games that use the rumble pak and controller pak will prompt you when to switch paks, so its not so much you have one or the other, its more like you swap when you load the game, and swap again when you're done to save your progress.
"Most of the time you'd just end up corrupting the hell out of your game" And that is exactly why I stopped using GameShark as a kid. I nearly rendered my copy of Goldeneye unplayable.
There was a thing I had as a kid, though I can't remember the name of it, that was basically a vest with several small rumble packs sewn in all around it. It still plugged into the controller like a regular Rumble Pak, but instead of the controller vibrating, it was your whole torso.
You left out that the transfer pack and the gameboy camera combined can allow you to take a picture of your face and use it as the perfect dark character
And I'm so mad I didn't know it wasn't released for PAL N64s. I thought I was just Late To The Party as usual. When I got an N64 having played one in America at 15 (my first trip there, it was built into the TV), I knew what games I wanted. Pokemon Snap and Hey You Pikachu. Hey You Pikachu refused to be read, even with a cheat catridge thingy. It has sat in its box on a shelf for half my lifetime because I haven't been able to take it to an American N64. I WANT TO PLAY IT FOR MYSELF SO BADLY. I can't even emulate it!! Nintendo really lost out not selling it here. Along with region/language-locking so many other games... ~coughZOIDSWHITELIGERSAGASERIEScough~
If you only had one working hand, it was a way to play games that were impossible to play before. It wasn't meant for people with use of both hands, though I think they skipped that part of their marketing.
I was surprised to hear "Perfect Dark" mentioned. I remember playing that game with my daddy when I was little. It's been so long I can't remember if it was an N64 or some other console we played on.
"This is the only way to play Pokémon Stadium. There is no way I'm going back to crappy rental pokémon." Nintendo proceeds to reveal release date for Pokémon Stadium without any sign of Red, Blue, or Yellow.
38:47 my uncle found one of those at his work near a car wash i assume it was near the trash bin because it was mostly broken and trashed maybe burned but i cant remeber completely but the n64 controller didnt work or i couldn't get the av cables in because of its condition but i have the gun and i think the genesis controller still i just need a genesis to use the gun with
Nice video man. I've had one of those power joy as a Kid here in Brazil. I don't remember if it was this exact model but it had straight nes clones games on it.
I’d actually curious about that myself. You guys are a PAL region, so I wonder if they bothered to adjust it from 60 to 50 hz. If I were to venture a guess, probably not (some NTSC cartridge systems can run PAL games, but the speed is off, and I’m not sure if the opposite is true), but maybe they had to.
Whose train system is most punctual? Japanese vs Germans? I think some German train conductors actual blitz through the station so hard that they'll be unusually early or something
As far as I remember you just put the memory card into controller two and the rumble pack in controller one and there was literally no need to switch around anything.
Drinking a case of red bull or monster and playing Tetris with the bios thing would make Tetris easy as hell. You'll be on fricking steroids and the game's moving in slow motion. It's like you stopped time
6:00 speaking about useless accesories, i haf this like armor kit for My game boy which included a magnifying glass/back light/wall charger/ a grip for the back/ some type of adapter gor the buttons I don’t even remember exactly what the button moddid lol
Densha De Go is hilarious! You gotta show people what happens when you fail! You basically showed off GTA while obeying traffic laws lol the animations and sound fx are worth the laughs
Artigiani always says "it's 8bit! Videogame experts know what I'm talking about!" during the commercial the infomercial has been the same since the 90s, even though the console changed through the years, I remember it was a fully bootleg loaded nes ripoff at the beginning, then there was also one that had the psx format with COMPATIBLE SEGA GENESIS (Megadrive in Italy) 6 BUTTONS JOYPADS! It was called POLYSTATION 😂 nowadays you can still catch the ad on some regional TV channels
I always called GB accessory the Gameboy pack just because N64 having that naming style for a huge percentage of controller add ons and even the console eventually before it was done
There are actually about 40 fighting games for Nintendo 64, which is almost twice as many as the total amount of games ever released for the Virtual Boy.
Not sure what it was called. But I remember having a rumble Pak with a memory card built in. It wasn't any bigger than a normal rumble pak ether. Heck I think it even had a built in battery cause I don't remember every having to change it.
Funny fact: "Hey, You! Pikachu!" works better if your pronunce at Japonese. The game could have change language at USA, but the stupid fact that the people used to test the game microphone is a native japonese (from what i know), and they don't re-dubed the lines to USA or other places, so yeah, also, thats why only a feel works like "Hello" can be know by that Pikachu... Again, great Nintendo faillure because of a stupid thing that they forget (yeah, you know i telling about GBA external light acessory, that thing is bad shit man...)
Sometimes I Feel like I'm the only person who thought the N64 controller was rather intuitive? The moment I tried it at the Walmart Display, I immediately Figured things out and played Mario 64 like a champ. I was 5 and thought it was great.
Even tho a lot of people hate the controller, I still love the N64! It's my fav retro console. Something about the games just hits different from games now a days. You can also mod a rumble pack to work without batteries. You have to solder tho.
I NEVER knew about the save/rumble pack/GB packs for the N64! That's SO COOL! I love it! Now I kinda want to find my Red/Blue/Crystal copies and try it with Pokemon Stadium (though I'd have to find a Transfer Pack first, lol)! Hey You, Pikachu has always seemed to me like a Pokemon Channel prototype, which is great 'cause I LOVE Pokemon Channel! I WISH they'd release a new, improved version of PC or smth like it for Switch! :D

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards was originally going to be a 64 DD game, but due to poor sales it became a regular N64 game.

Loving the Tales of Symphonia music throughout the video!
Nice video man.
I've had one of those power joy as a Kid here in Brazil. I don't remember if it was this exact model but it had straight nes clones games on it.
I’d actually curious about that myself. You guys are a PAL region, so I wonder if they bothered to adjust it from 60 to 50 hz. If I were to venture a guess, probably not (some NTSC cartridge systems can run PAL games, but the speed is off, and I’m not sure if the opposite is true), but maybe they had to.
Best N64 accessory was the Transfer Pack.
Whose train system is most punctual? Japanese vs Germans? I think some German train conductors actual blitz through the station so hard that they'll be unusually early or something
You definitely could unplug and plug in rumble, then memory, then rumble packs.
As far as I remember you just put the memory card into controller two and the rumble pack in controller one and there was literally no need to switch around anything.
As someone who loves trains, Densha De Go is awesome. I'd reccomend playing Densha De Go Professional on PS1. It's my personal favorite in the series.
I saw this video playing in a game store I went to, Connor would be proud
also.with the stadium games if you beat them youd unlock a speed up feature for the tower allowing you to play the games at 2x speed
Drinking a case of red bull or monster and playing Tetris with the bios thing would make Tetris easy as hell. You'll be on fricking steroids and the game's moving in slow motion. It's like you stopped time
6:00 speaking about useless accesories, i haf this like armor kit for My game boy which included a magnifying glass/back light/wall charger/ a grip for the back/ some type of adapter gor the buttons I don’t even remember exactly what the button moddid lol
Densha De Go is hilarious! You gotta show people what happens when you fail! You basically showed off GTA while obeying traffic laws lol the animations and sound fx are worth the laughs
Artigiani always says "it's 8bit! Videogame experts know what I'm talking about!" during the commercial
the infomercial has been the same since the 90s, even though the console changed through the years, I remember it was a fully bootleg loaded nes ripoff at the beginning, then there was also one that had the psx format with COMPATIBLE SEGA GENESIS (Megadrive in Italy) 6 BUTTONS JOYPADS! It was called POLYSTATION 😂 nowadays you can still catch the ad on some regional TV channels
Mr. FrenchToast looked drained of his life in the first opening shot of the video
As a Brazilian, it's kinda insane to see someone being busted for selling bootleg consoles, Nintendo of America does not fuck around
Also, funny enough,Caddicarus' video also had the train game!
Kind of surreal to see an Ultraman game with the capsule monsters, obviously that was the basis for Pokemon.
Has anyone tried giving Pikachu commands in Ingurishu instead of English?
"Pikachu, iuzu sandaaboruto!"
I always called GB accessory the Gameboy pack just because N64 having that naming style for a huge percentage of controller add ons and even the console eventually before it was done
The rubble pack to fish in Zelda was totally not needed but I wanted it
Did I notice 'Persona' music in the train bit?
Honestly, I feel like that helped portray the emotions correctly
There are actually about 40 fighting games for Nintendo 64, which is almost twice as many as the total amount of games ever released for the Virtual Boy.
I just had an awesome, stupid idea.
The tilt pack, with the glove controller.
4:17 yes!!!!!! Tremorpak is peak design (except that it didn’t really add anything) 😅
There were plenty of games that let you save then swap to a rumble pak
I completely thought that
this was a April Fools based off the Caddicarus PS1 Accessory video!😅
You could save without a memory pack and still use the rumble pack. Like Goldeneye. And Ocarina of Time.
17:52 unlike Germany... Where you are already lucky if it even arrives and not just is cancelled last minute.. or comes 30 minutes later
Not sure what it was called. But I remember having a rumble Pak with a memory card built in. It wasn't any bigger than a normal rumble pak ether. Heck I think it even had a built in battery cause I don't remember every having to change it.
Seriously we can do a drinking game every time he says 64 😂
Funny fact: "Hey, You! Pikachu!" works better if your pronunce at Japonese. The game could have change language at USA, but the stupid fact that the people used to test the game microphone is a native japonese (from what i know), and they don't re-dubed the lines to USA or other places, so yeah, also, thats why only a feel works like "Hello" can be know by that Pikachu... Again, great Nintendo faillure because of a stupid thing that they forget (yeah, you know i telling about GBA external light acessory, that thing is bad shit man...)
First video of yours I've watched a while... I'm now questioning why I left to begin with cause this is great.
The tilt pak would be useful if ur joystick wears out, that happens alot...
Sometimes I Feel like I'm the only person who thought the N64 controller was rather intuitive? The moment I tried it at the Walmart Display, I immediately Figured things out and played Mario 64 like a champ. I was 5 and thought it was great.
I am tempted to try the tilt pack for aiming the bow in the Zelda minigames...
Lol punctional 😂 really tho how'd you deal w the 13 hour plane trip!? I wanna go so bad but that terrifies meee!
Love your videos man
Ngl that GB Perfect Dark looks way more impressive than it has any right to be for the hardware.
Even tho a lot of people hate the controller, I still love the N64! It's my fav retro console. Something about the games just hits different from games now a days. You can also mod a rumble pack to work without batteries. You have to solder tho.
The N64 controller looks like something A. I made lol.
The Expansion Pak is just the Nintendo Switch OLED but as an accessory
Or a New Nintendo 3DS
Ha, I had the playstation version of that glove controller when I was a kid. It was the most goofy, awkward thing ever.
yeah caddicarus covered it in his ps1 accessories vid.
I NEVER knew about the save/rumble pack/GB packs for the N64! That's SO COOL! I love it! Now I kinda want to find my Red/Blue/Crystal copies and try it with Pokemon Stadium (though I'd have to find a Transfer Pack first, lol)! Hey You, Pikachu has always seemed to me like a Pokemon Channel prototype, which is great 'cause I LOVE Pokemon Channel! I WISH they'd release a new, improved version of PC or smth like it for Switch! :D
Crystal isn't compatible with it. You can use Red, Blue and Yellow with Stadium 1, and Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold and Silver with Stadium 2.
