    My daughter and me still play Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 to this date. She's 9 and she loves the old versions.

      Artzie Music one of the worst if not the worst controller I've ever used

    Jet force Gemini never gets mentioned anywhere, it's like I was the only person who owned it. Totally underrated gem

    @SlyRy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Loved the N64! Zelda Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Turok 2 Seeds of Evil, Goldeneye, Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, Wave Race, Shadows of the Empire, NFL Blitz, Smash Bros! Man, what a blast corps ;)

    You know it IS possible to like one console without HATING the other? I love the N64, but that doesn't mean I have to HATE the PS1....and vise versa....

    • @ict113090
      @ict113090 ปีที่แล้ว

      My buddies who had Playstation always asked to play my 64 when they were at my house and vice verse. Same as several years earlier with SNES and SEGA

  • @lukejamesbgn
    @lukejamesbgn 7 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    The ability to plug in 4 controllers right from jump was such a game changer. I have so many great memories of staying up all night playing Goldeneye and all of those wrestling games! Gotta agree with Mike about Mario Kart, too - I love the SNES version!

  • @dreamcastfan
    @dreamcastfan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I recently got my N64 modded with the UltraHDMI and I love replaying GoldenEye on it. It's such a different FPS experience compared to today's shooters. There's so much variety to the missions it means the game never feels stale.
    I also really love how the AI is always doing different things and is really unpredictable (like flanking or lobbing grenades or running to trigger an alarm for reinforcements). It means you're always having to adjust and react to them rather than just memorising levels.
    Personally I think the PS1/N64/Saturn era is the most evenly matched generation when it comes to classics. There are games I love on all three systems and I really can't pick a favourite between them, I love them all equally and still have all three hooked up.

    • @soylentgreenb
      @soylentgreenb 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Garbage framerates and controls is what made me a PC gamer. The NES and SNES controlled almost perfectly, super low latency sprite hardware, literally racing the beam. The N64 and PS1 controlled like wrestling in treacle.

  • @tjski
    @tjski 7 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    Why is Perfect Dark always overlooked? I feel it took Goldeneye and perfected it. The simulation mode was like an online play before online was available. My personal favorite for the 64.

    • @bblovely7788
      @bblovely7788 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Tj F I agree 100%!! Perfect Dark multiplayer was truly something special. I love it more than any other game. I talk more about PD in my other comments.

    • @mistermoo7602
      @mistermoo7602 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It's true. Perfect Dark is one of the coolest shooters ever.

    • @Jim55324
      @Jim55324 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The gunshots didn't sound as satisfying as Goldeneye/007 TWINE/Duke Nukem

  • @robertwhitley6233
    @robertwhitley6233 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    GoldenEye,Perfect Dark and Pilot Wings.Those alone made the N64 worth having.

    • @ict113090
      @ict113090 ปีที่แล้ว

      of these 3 all I have is Goldeneye. For me the 64 was a haven of hidden gems that no one really remembers tho.

  • @Ostnizdasht206

    • @Talkren
      @Talkren 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I didn't own them both as a kid but I do as an adult and I love both to this day. Each have their own place in my collection. N64 > PS1 when it comes to multiplayer. PS1 > N64 when it comes to single player experience

    • @benmidnightflame
      @benmidnightflame 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I owned both, and although Digimon World is probably my most favourite game of all time, I'd say the n64 had a higher quality for it's fewer games. Really cons and pros to each.

    • @Ostnizdasht206
      @Ostnizdasht206 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      "I" didn't have any money. My parents bought the N64 one Christmas and the PS1 the next that's all.

  • @chrisd6736

    Rogue Squadron for N64 is possibly the most underrated game of all time...

    • @Talkren
      @Talkren 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Blast Corps is that for me. It is the only very unknown Rare game on the console.

    • @kyle857

    • @ironinquisitor3656

      Battle for Naboo is far more underrated than Rogue Squadron in my opinion.

    • @716_adventures3
      @716_adventures3 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ironinquisitor loved the variety of missions and story in battle for Naboo!

  • @Benobot99
    @Benobot99 7 ปีที่แล้ว +53

    Perfect Dark isn't as good as Goldeneye? Lmfao. Customizable bots, MUCH better weapons and equally memorable music. Oh and many more game modes, character customization, ranks, alternate firing modes for every gun, a firing range with challenges, and so much more.

    • @matthewcowell
      @matthewcowell 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Benobot99 I agree - it was a great story too. My favourite on the system sling with Super Smash Bros and Mario

    • @retroworld8090

      They're both excellent

    • @Peter_1986
      @Peter_1986 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Even the guards were just as funny and charming as in "GoldenEye 007", they still did hilarious things and also had funny one-liners as well.
      A lot of FPS games take themselves overly seriously, but "Perfect Dark" still had that wonderful British humour from "GoldenEye 007" intact, like Elvis the alien for example. xD

    • @BanjoBillWY
      @BanjoBillWY 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Perfect dark had better multi-player. That's all.

    • @Peter_1986
      @Peter_1986 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      +Banjo Bill
      "Perfect Dark" had two functions for most weapons, more detailed instructions for the mission objectives, quicker access to the Pause menu, and you could open a quick menu for several of the weapons and items by holding the A button.
      All those things are undeniable improvements, because they all ADDED something beneficial without hurting any other aspects in any way, which by definition is an improvement.
      It also had more intelligent enemies, and the music was at least as awesome.

  • @michaelwaltrip55
    @michaelwaltrip55 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Nobody ever seems to mention Offroad Challenge on the n64, but I loved that game. The vehicles handled really well and the track designs were fun.

  • @bradnimbus4836
    @bradnimbus4836 7 ปีที่แล้ว +75

    Anytime I see someone talk about how amazing Goldeneye was, I always feel like they've never played Perfect Dark. Perfect Dark was so much better

    • @LudicrousShows
      @LudicrousShows 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Brad Nimbus I agree, but people talk about it more because it came out earlier and because of the name.

    • @occupantvillainyoutbreak
      @occupantvillainyoutbreak 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Brad Nimbus some of the games they said sucked I loved as a kid. Started pissing me off lol.

    • @Mutio86
      @Mutio86 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @dumpstertrash697
      @dumpstertrash697 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Agreed. Goldeneye 8/10. Perfect Dark 9/10

    • @bradnimbus4836
      @bradnimbus4836 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      and the thing about Perfect Dark is that its multiplayer is WAY better than Goldeneye's but almost never gets talked about. Know what? I'm gonna play it again

  • @mark224
    @mark224 7 ปีที่แล้ว +79

    • @Josh-ut4wv
      @Josh-ut4wv 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I loved the n64 more because the games with smaller space to work with were made much better than ps games because they were like with ps games yeah I got all this Spence make a huge game with not great story or graphics as with n64 they are like ok we got small amount of space how will we make a good game while nit going over the storage limit

    • @riflemanm16a2
      @riflemanm16a2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Perfect Dark was the shit. Goldeneye was great, but Perfect Dark was far superior. It ran better on the hardware, more guns, way more multiplayer customization, bots, challenges, unlockables, better graphics, voice acting. It blew me away when I got it.

    • @riflemanm16a2
      @riflemanm16a2 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You may be thinking of Time Splitters 2. There was no map editor in Perfect Dark.

    And Perfect Dark is superior. It had a really long story mode that was fun and could be played co-operately and a more content rich multiplayer mode (tons of different cheat codes) with a some staple Goldeneye levels in it.

  • @marioreyes7971
    @marioreyes7971 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    WWF Wrestlemania 2000, No Mercy & WCW vs NWO Revenge were easily some of the best wrestling games during the era.
    The 4 player mulit-player and the simple pick up and play controls were always fun especially when you got 4 players together. Given how there was so many different match types and wrestlers to choose from (Along with Created Wrestlers) You had such variety.
    Wrestling games today are still being compared to No Mercy!

    • @syedmasroorhussain

    23:47 WTF??? Goldeneye is bliss. But Perfect Dark is just better. in every single way. They just brushed that off oh well.

  • @DaveFallows
    @DaveFallows 7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Ogre Battle 64. Another all-time SRPG classic.
    And yeah, Perfect Dark is faaaaar superior to Goldeneye. That game alone kept the system under me and my friends televisions until 2004 or something.

      @sonyvssnes 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sony is better right now, in my opinion because I don't wanna buy mk8 again, nor do I think Splatoon or Arms is any good. Pokken looks promising if they can do it some Justice.

    • @tchitchouan
      @tchitchouan 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      But it's true Sony objectively handeled disc media in a more convenient manner than N64's aging cartridges.

    • @sonyvssnes
      @sonyvssnes 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Tchitchouan Inouane very accurate. If Nintendo took advantage of CD-ROM capabilities better in the 90s it would be a tough market between n64 and PlayStation.

  • @OsricRexor
    @OsricRexor 7 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    I think the SNES has aged better than the N64. There are just something about those early 3D graphics that I'm not too fond of. That being said I do think the N64 had some really good games.

    • @retrosoul8770
      @retrosoul8770 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      No doubt about it, the Genesis as well. 60 fps 2D graphics with smooth animation and colorful hand drawn art styles? Absolutely! You can say the same from 2D games from the 5th generation as well.

    • @Games_and_Music
      @Games_and_Music 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is how i generally look and feel back on consoles, it is a major reason why i never got into the NES, it had really poor colorschemes a lot of times, i rather preferred my snotty GameBoy games instead.
      The lack of color in GameBoy games actually enhanced it for me, to imagine what they would look like in color, and the NES versions generally barfed all over that imagination.
      The N64 kinda suffered the same dullness of graphics, which the SNES didnt have as much, but yeah i would agree that the MegaDrive was really smooth and crisp.

    N64's legacy lives on with the abundance of remixes of game musics from the N64. A lot of N64 games had great music, my favorite is Mystical ninja starring Goemon 2 - Ryugu Castle (also known as Palace of the Sea Goddess, Life on Turtle (Part 2). The N64 midi is pretty good to listen still.

  • @commonsensei8719

    The N64 revolutionized the gaming industry, Mechanics from Zelda are still being used in games like Horizon, The sniper zoom in games nowadays comes from GoldenEye, so many things started on N64 and the haters just have to suck it

      Im not a hater of N64, but i really disliked the flood of FPS games, its what turned me off from gaming after being a die hard gamer since childhood. The switch to 3D wasnt specifically the problem for me, but the gameplay does not interest me. If GoldenEye contributed to that, then i will spit in its GoldenEye :P

    One of the tough things about doing a N64 classic is that a lot of the great N64 titles were 2nd party done by Rare who is now owned by Microsoft. So it's going to be a lot tougher to get those on it as opposed to the Konami and Capcom titles on the NES & SNES classic systems.

    Dear Mike and Ryan, I feel you did Perfect Dark a bit of a disservice there: Perfect Dark is a far superior game than Goldeneye in pretty much ever way with better graphics, AI, multiplayer, story, missions, objectives, etc. etc. True, it did push the capabilities of the console a bit much at times but it's a truly awesome game. So great that it was released in HD on Xbox live a few years back.I'm not sure if you know much about it but Rare were originally going to produce the game for Tomorrow Never Dies but they declined because they felt too limited with Goldeneye and wanted to come up with their own story and characters to enable them more creative freedom. However they kept a lot of the things from Goldeneye including weapons (which you could unlock) and some of the multiplayer levels including facility, complex and temple.I would love to see you do a play through of both games so that you can really compare the difference, also it would be great to see you do a four player multiplayer comparison with James and some of the other cinemassacre regulars.Thanks for listening :)P.S. you should also definitely have a go at playing Team Buddies on PS1 if you can get it - it's quite a rare game, but fantastic.

    Perfect Dark and how complex the game is on a campaign and multiplayer scale as well as the graphics are some of the best on the system EVER. The dynamic lighting combined with shadows and move-able objects within levels...wow that blew my mind when I was 13...never saw an FPS that came close to detail...not to mention with the expansion pack the ability to play it on wide screen HD tvs before they were even main stream is amazing. The game plays like a current day game on my 55inch 1080p UltraHDMI modded N64. Its even better when you upgrade the N64 joystick to the Gamecube bowl style joystick and then play the game using 2 controlers as if you had 2 analog sticks...yup then your in retro FPS heaven!

    I remember plenty of people using "Xbox" as a catch-all term for video games during the late 6th to 7th gen of consoles. It didn't die out during the age of the Nintendo 64. Microsoft dominated the late 6th gen and early-mid 7th gen of consoles with the Xbox and Xbox 360, which was probably due to Xbox Live becoming hugely popular. So yeah, when I was in my teens back then, plenty of people used "Xbox" as a catch-all term for video games, especially parents.

    Yoshi's Story wasn't a bad game, it wasn't Yoshi's Island by any means, but it was still a fun Nintendo platformer, it was no worse than any of the recent Nintendo Yoshi platformers of the last 10 years. You two also completely forgot about Paper Mario, probably the best RPG on the system by far. N64 RE2 is arguably the better version as long as you had the expansion pack, and overall a technical marvel on the system because they managed to fit a CD based game and keep all the cutscenes, and managed to cram it down to a size that would fit on an N64 cart and the in game graphics and resolution was far better than what the PS1 could do. You can also tell these two don't care at all for racers unless it's mario kart or fzero, as the N64 had the BEST assortment of racing games,Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Cruisin' Usa, World, Exotica, Rush 1, 2, and 2049, Top Gear Rally, Lego Racers, Revolt, Micro Machines, and those are just ones I can think of off the top of my head. PS1 had Crash Team Racing, and GT1, and 2, that was about the extent of good PS1 racers. lol

      Pretty much agree with this. I don't share that mentality that more games means automatically more great games. I mean I feel like NES has 90% shit games and if your lucky maybe 4% are great. Same with Playstation really. Anything that was on Playstation (except maybe Megaman Legends) plays better and looks better on N64. Cutscenes hardly matter. I mean, I enjoy Spiderman 64 not for cutscenes but for superior gameplay to the PS1 version.
      It's not to say there aren't good games on PS1, but it's a stretch to claim there are more. There are some solid RPGs, but almost every other genre is done better on N64. Also keep in mind, less games means less shit games to have to sift through to get to the good ones.

      Completely agree with Don, typical fanboy bullshit. Ps1 is packed with great fighting games, arcade shooters, the greatest jrpg console ever, great platformers, racers and alot of unique niche games. It has a potent library of at least 50+ games worth playing depending on your personal taste. 64 has roughly half that amount. However, both are still great consoles where much fun could be had despite the numbers. So ultimately...it doesn't really matter which was better, but, yet we argue anyway lol
