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
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.
"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.
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 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.
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.
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.
@@mattalan6618 I remember it was supposed to unlock certain things in both games.. You would be able to move over your created wrestler to the GB version..
@@mattalan6618 there was a hidden story mode for you created character that you created on the game boy color version, there is a way to trick it with gameshark by allowing a created character to be in the slot of import data
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)
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.
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~
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.
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.

"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.

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.
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
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 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.
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.
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?
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
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
About the N64 mic not working with Hey You Pikachu, I've online heard two reasons that may be why it fails so badly with that game. Reason 1: The mic was tailored to kids' voice pitch levels, and so, when, say, an adult male, for example, tries to use it, it does not work because the gamer's voice is not compatible with how the voice recognition is built. And reason 2: Hey You Pikachu, only has a small number of words programmed in the voice commands, and so, most things you say to Pikachu, the game cannot understand it, and so, Pikachu does anything but what you said to it. I do not possess the N64 mic, nor have the rom of Hey You Pikachu, to dig into the files myself to get any sense of proving if either or both claims of reasons I heard online, is true, nor can I playtest on my own side. And before anyone replies to this comment and says that Pikachu will use it's electric powers in a rage by saying "Playstation", that's an old rumor. In truth, the word "Playstation" is not within the voice commands in the internal coding, and so, any case of Pikachu angrily using it's electric powers in response to the player saying "Playstation", is just a coincidence of the game not understanding what you're trying to say to Pikachu
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 always read the name of the Pokémon game as "Pikachui" (Pika-chooee) because of the font and the exclamation mark being upside down,making me think it was an 'i'.
The use of the microphone...slightly confuses me, but I get it. Japan is one of the most rail enthusiastic countries on the planet so the concept of an _actual_ train simulator game for a console makes total sense, as well as why it never left Japan. Of course they'd go the full mile and have you try to pronounce the station names! All the other train simulator games in the world were a lot more casual and exclusive to PC. Still trying to wrap my head around the fact you can play Train Simulator on actual consoles now
Connor, the coprocessors in some SNES carts were basically graphics cards. They allowed the SNES to run games that it otherwise couldn’t. They usually just expanded the amount of RAM used for graphics or sound (meaning that the cartridge could have more 2D images or music/sound effects stored on it than the earlier versions of the cartridge board), but some (like the Super FX chip) actually improved its graphical capability. Nintendo once joked that they didn’t really need to ever release another system, they could just keep releasing games with bigger and better chips on board. It wasn’t actually true, but it’s probably part of the reason that the SNES had such a long run, especially in Japan. They were still releasing new games for the Super Famicom in 1998. Let me repeat that: 1998! That’s almost halfway through the run of its successor. Anyway, if I were to venture a guess, the reason that an unlicensed clone couldn’t run games with those chips probably comes down to either cost or simply not knowing how to build a version of the board that can communicate with the chips. Computers can be limited in that way, they have to know where an accessory is plugged in and how to communicate with it (parenthetically, that’s part of the reason why USB was such a big deal when it first came out, it eliminated many of the frustrations with the former). There are no guarantees even with official hardware. My AV Famicom can’t interface with my Zapper, for example, because when I boot up a light gun game (even one on a North American cartridge), it doesn’t look for a gun plugged into the second controller port. It looks for one plugged into the Famicom accessory port. I really need to get or wire up a dongle to bridge that gap one of these days, or just import the Japanese version of the Zapper.
"it was the 90s. we were easily entertained." whoa. i would have bet anything this dude was a teenager (im old lol). anyone know how old he is? he was gaming in the 90s??
Hear me out, I know I'm probably like 1 in 10 people who love hey you Pikachu, it was genuinely really fun for years. I would lose days to this game, I remember Pikachu enjoyed fishing the best in my game so I would "ground" Pikachu when he ran away by making him watch TV and do tedious tasks for a day or 2 I got through most of the gameplay though. From what I've heard though, the game works best with higher pitched voices. (I would die for densha de go with the train controller)
The stupidest part of the expansion pak is that the reason DK 64 needs it is because during development, the devs found a bug that could only be fixed by the expansion pak.
this has been a debunked myth for ages. to quote the lead artist for the game (Mark Stevenson, in an interview with Chris Marlow): "The decision to use the Expansion Pak happened a long time before the game shipped, in fact we were called in by management and told that we were going to use the Expansion Pak and that we needed to do find ways to do stuff in the game that justified its use and made it a selling point. I think the bug story somehow got amalgamated into the Expansion Pak use and became urban myth." please stop spreading this shite, it shouldn't really take a direct quote to explain that adding extra ram cannot just magically fix a software bug, which frankly never existed lmao. don't even need to be in software to really understand that xD
Wait a second, this guy who sold bootleg Nintendo Consoles was forced to run ads that he did that? Isn't that supposed to be considered unusual punishment, which is against the American Constitution? So even back then, Nintendo didn't care. I can't believe I didn't see this before. It honestly explains a lot even now.
the italian tv seller is actually pretty below average, when it comes to teleseller personalities. trust someone who lived trought all of the pre-internet meme that came from there, it's a deep, deep rabbit hutch that include magicians legally accepted as such in front of judges, people selling the metaphysical concept of luck, palm reading trough telephone landline, gems reading, foreigner telemarketer being dubbed over, holy icon trafficking, fake holy icon trafficking, knockoffs, original stuff sold as knockoff, japanese anime, japanese dramas, and wanna marchi. it is such a mess of so many non-officially archived proof that is hard even have a clear timeline, at this point

The N64 is the Sakura of VG systems. People just hate on it because it's the thing to do. I LOVED my 64!! Yes I wish they would have went with CDs or at least have more memory for textures but besides that it was AMAZING
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
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.

Ah, the rumble pack, going through puberty in the 90s and having this as a makeshift vibrator
"The Heart Sensor was only compatable with 'Tetris 64'."
Excuse me, what?
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
About the N64 mic not working with Hey You Pikachu, I've online heard two reasons that may be why it fails so badly with that game. Reason 1: The mic was tailored to kids' voice pitch levels, and so, when, say, an adult male, for example, tries to use it, it does not work because the gamer's voice is not compatible with how the voice recognition is built. And reason 2: Hey You Pikachu, only has a small number of words programmed in the voice commands, and so, most things you say to Pikachu, the game cannot understand it, and so, Pikachu does anything but what you said to it. I do not possess the N64 mic, nor have the rom of Hey You Pikachu, to dig into the files myself to get any sense of proving if either or both claims of reasons I heard online, is true, nor can I playtest on my own side. And before anyone replies to this comment and says that Pikachu will use it's electric powers in a rage by saying "Playstation", that's an old rumor. In truth, the word "Playstation" is not within the voice commands in the internal coding, and so, any case of Pikachu angrily using it's electric powers in response to the player saying "Playstation", is just a coincidence of the game not understanding what you're trying to say to Pikachu
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.
The rubble pack to fish in Zelda was totally not needed but I wanted it
Ngl that GB Perfect Dark looks way more impressive than it has any right to be for the hardware.
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
I always read the name of the Pokémon game as "Pikachui" (Pika-chooee) because of the font and the exclamation mark being upside down,making me think it was an 'i'.
The use of the microphone...slightly confuses me, but I get it. Japan is one of the most rail enthusiastic countries on the planet so the concept of an _actual_ train simulator game for a console makes total sense, as well as why it never left Japan. Of course they'd go the full mile and have you try to pronounce the station names! All the other train simulator games in the world were a lot more casual and exclusive to PC.
Still trying to wrap my head around the fact you can play Train Simulator on actual consoles now
Bro is da new caddicurus
13:28 cool thing about this accessory, i was able to use a headset mic from my PC to play hey you, pikachu
Kind of surreal to see an Ultraman game with the capsule monsters, obviously that was the basis for Pokemon.
Connor, the coprocessors in some SNES carts were basically graphics cards. They allowed the SNES to run games that it otherwise couldn’t. They usually just expanded the amount of RAM used for graphics or sound (meaning that the cartridge could have more 2D images or music/sound effects stored on it than the earlier versions of the cartridge board), but some (like the Super FX chip) actually improved its graphical capability. Nintendo once joked that they didn’t really need to ever release another system, they could just keep releasing games with bigger and better chips on board. It wasn’t actually true, but it’s probably part of the reason that the SNES had such a long run, especially in Japan. They were still releasing new games for the Super Famicom in 1998. Let me repeat that: 1998! That’s almost halfway through the run of its successor.
Anyway, if I were to venture a guess, the reason that an unlicensed clone couldn’t run games with those chips probably comes down to either cost or simply not knowing how to build a version of the board that can communicate with the chips. Computers can be limited in that way, they have to know where an accessory is plugged in and how to communicate with it (parenthetically, that’s part of the reason why USB was such a big deal when it first came out, it eliminated many of the frustrations with the former). There are no guarantees even with official hardware. My AV Famicom can’t interface with my Zapper, for example, because when I boot up a light gun game (even one on a North American cartridge), it doesn’t look for a gun plugged into the second controller port. It looks for one plugged into the Famicom accessory port. I really need to get or wire up a dongle to bridge that gap one of these days, or just import the Japanese version of the Zapper.
"it was the 90s. we were easily entertained."
whoa. i would have bet anything this dude was a teenager (im old lol). anyone know how old he is? he was gaming in the 90s??
Loving the Tales of Symphonia music throughout the video!
Holy shit. I haven't watched you in 2 years. Glad to see you're still uploading videos
Seriously we can do a drinking game every time he says 64 😂
2:52 This feels weird now that F-Zero 99 is a thing.
The N64 controller looks like something A. I made lol.
Hear me out, I know I'm probably like 1 in 10 people who love hey you Pikachu, it was genuinely really fun for years. I would lose days to this game, I remember Pikachu enjoyed fishing the best in my game so I would "ground" Pikachu when he ran away by making him watch TV and do tedious tasks for a day or 2
I got through most of the gameplay though.
From what I've heard though, the game works best with higher pitched voices. (I would die for densha de go with the train controller)
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.
Man, I wish we got the 64DD in the west for it's faster loading times.
I always hated the long loading times of those pesky cartridges. 😂
14:16 it'd be so funny if you said that and he said "what am your bitch, get your woman to do that for you! Pika!" hahaha
Always nice to see a brand new video
It looks like this is the _one_ world that caddy was beaten to
The stupidest part of the expansion pak is that the reason DK 64 needs it is because during development, the devs found a bug that could only be fixed by the expansion pak.
this has been a debunked myth for ages. to quote the lead artist for the game (Mark Stevenson, in an interview with Chris Marlow):
"The decision to use the Expansion Pak happened a long time before the game shipped, in fact we were called in by management and told that we were going to use the Expansion Pak and that we needed to do find ways to do stuff in the game that justified its use and made it a selling point. I think the bug story somehow got amalgamated into the Expansion Pak use and became urban myth."
please stop spreading this shite, it shouldn't really take a direct quote to explain that adding extra ram cannot just magically fix a software bug, which frankly never existed lmao. don't even need to be in software to really understand that xD
You could save without a memory pack and still use the rumble pack. Like Goldeneye. And Ocarina of Time.
Wait a second, this guy who sold bootleg Nintendo Consoles was forced to run ads that he did that? Isn't that supposed to be considered unusual punishment, which is against the American Constitution?
So even back then, Nintendo didn't care. I can't believe I didn't see this before. It honestly explains a lot even now.
I think the left prong is for DPad games & the middle one joystick games
The only person I can think of who would play the train game is Sheldon from Big Bang Therory
the italian tv seller is actually pretty below average, when it comes to teleseller personalities.
trust someone who lived trought all of the pre-internet meme that came from there, it's a deep, deep rabbit hutch that include magicians legally accepted as such in front of judges, people selling the metaphysical concept of luck, palm reading trough telephone landline, gems reading, foreigner telemarketer being dubbed over, holy icon trafficking, fake holy icon trafficking, knockoffs, original stuff sold as knockoff, japanese anime, japanese dramas, and wanna marchi.
it is such a mess of so many non-officially archived proof that is hard even have a clear timeline, at this point
4:17 yes!!!!!! Tremorpak is peak design (except that it didn’t really add anything) 😅
Every comment i see says conner is like a nintendo version of cadicarus but i think hes more like jontron especially during the super joy segment hes fun, spontaneous, explains games fun and quickly and he has good humor and jokes
Stop watching for a couple months and now conners gone full caddick
The Expansion Pak is just the Nintendo Switch OLED but as an accessory
Or a New Nintendo 3DS
N64 is and forever my favorite console! Grew up with this console
The N64 is the Sakura of VG systems. People just hate on it because it's the thing to do. I LOVED my 64!! Yes I wish they would have went with CDs or at least have more memory for textures but besides that it was AMAZING
You confused youtube into thinking every single game you played was mario artist polygon studio
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.
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.
I think that the yellow button's are useless even i feel like this video is inspired for caddy but with N64
The rumble pak changed everything. Think SixAxis with the PS3. How did that work out?
Nintendo and Star Fox is the line where gaming was reimagined.
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
WWF No Mercy shipped with Transfer pack functionality, but gameboy version never made it to release.
