The Nintendo 64 | Below Average History

Quake 2 was one of the best usages of the expansion pak in a non-requirement game. Better textures, FPS, and it makes 4 player split screen actually playable

Hey, nice video. I just want to add more information about the PlayStation sells numbers. 102 millions is for the total sells at the march 2006, so way after the life of the n64 (and Sega Saturn + Dreamcast).
In 2000, before the release of the PS ONE, the original PlayStation sold nearly 74 millions home console, wich is still a huge number.
So we're more about a ration of 1 n64 for 2 Ps1, even through than the PlayStation have 1 and a half year of advance.
In fact, the N64 sold nearly the same numbers of unit than the SNES on the US and Euro Market, it's only for the Japanese market than the n64 sold poorly.
PS : More impressive for the OG PlayStation, the psone sold more unit than the Xbox and GameCube during the same among of time, 28 millions unit.

Badass intro. Pixelated space. Good shit.

Whoa, whoa, whoa… Bomberman 64 OST SLAPS it just slaps different now bomberman hero only has Redial going for it and ima be honest I think the gameplay and art direction for bomberman 64 hits way harder than hero.
With that said I can’t believe you don’t have more views this is amazing love these kind of videos.

When you bought a memory card and game the ps1 ended up being the same price as the Saturn, and the n64 controller is a 6 button snes controller with an analog attachment. It's the most comfortable controller ever made for 2D games

[@legokingcandy]

The D pad on the n64 controllers is wayy to mushy

[@GhibliNova]

@@legokingcandy mine feel like bigger SNES dpads :)

This is a great video. I hope it gets more attention.

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Thank you, that means alot

[@flenard4697]

heeeey. I just bought a "stupid wormlight" a few weeks ago for my GB Pocket, which I've had for decades, and just started playing on again... and I love the wormlight (yes, I know backlit screen mods exist, I have a GB Pocket modded like that, but my original one, the way it was back then, still has that special something) :))))

Thanks!

Why does no one understand the 3 prongs on the controllers simply provide more options? Some games work with either the d-pad and L button, or the joystick and Z button. A few games play best with hands on the left and middle prongs, though the only ones I can think of are Robotron 64, and a Japanese game that doesn't have a fan translation and I don't remember the name of

I always thought NUS was Nintendo Ultra System xD

0:28 - One mistake in this video.
"For Europe, Australia and France", France is actually in Europe itself.

[@BelowAverageGaming]

Got me there

People always focus on the things you do wrong, and not how good the overall video is. Don't worry about it!
