I really wish the N64 from my childhood was an actual console and not just a figment of my imagination.
Confession time: I don’t like a single NES, SNES, N64 game. I’ve never bought a VC game and I played the NSO titles for a combined 5 minutes since they launched.
I was thinking the exact same thing.I know how this sounds, but…
How old are you?
I've been watching the later ones on Youtube just to get through them. The early ones I easy enough but later psyncs have solutions like "Pull the knife out of the wall so Ai accidentally tosses it all of the way across to room to cut in half the television". Like how would anyone reasonably think of that? So it really just becomes a game of trial and error.
Not a SINGLE one???
I know how this sounds, but…
How old are you?
Wow and I thought I didn't like older games, but I guess I have you beat by like, one title (Super Metroid). I've played and loved Ocarina but that was on 3DS so I'm not sure it counts. I also played a bunch of the N64 mulitplayer titles like Smash, Mario Party, Goldeneye, Mario Tennis, and such back in the day but I was super young so I'm also not sure that counts because young me might have had awful taste.
This is good. The first step is admitting you have a problem
jk, kinda sorta
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I seriously can't imagine not liking a single one of them unless you never played any growing up. Even still, that's surprising.
For me its mostly the nostalgia factor, as I'm sure is the case with many people. But I also always found it super comfy for my hands! Not to mention it almost feels blasphemous to play games like OoT and SM64 WITHOUT an N64 controller. Perhaps all that doesn't make it worth the premium, but for a cool piece of history that also doubles as functional, I'm totally down.Please don't drag me to the marketplace and pelt me with rotting vegetables, but: would you be so kind and explain to me why some of you are getting so excited to buy one of the worst controllers that has ever been conceived in the history of poorly designed things.
Do N64 games play like crap on a regular controller? Is it nostalgia? Is it humanity having a soft spot for misshapen things? Do some of you have three hands? Is it a combination of all or some of the above? Do I fail to see beauty where others can?
Help me.
Just coming in to recommend Metallic Child. Really cute and fun roguelite!
Great combat, and actually a really good port as well.
I'd probably make an OT for it if I had more time, might just an highlight thread for it...
edit: and on topic, I don't have any nostalgia for the N64 controller. Love that they're remaking them though, love my SNES one.
Those triggers hurt my fingers so much.Everyone saying the N64 controller is bad should look at the Dreamcast controller. It’s like the N64 controller, but worse.
YessssssssI picked up Origami King and I'm enjoying it way, way more than I expected.
Paper Mario 64 is the best in the series especially in Pacing. Super is a wild ride and also what got us the tight restraints in spin-offs on unique Mario releases charactersAre the original Paper Mario and Super Paper Mario still worth playing?
I picked up Origami King to kill some time before SMT V releases and I'm enjoying it way, way more than I expected.
It’s true. The fact that the grips don’t allow for comfortable hand placement due to the circular design and the straight angle of the triggers/prominences makes it near impossible to play very long. But I do like the VMU slot. Such a “Nintendo” idea that sega utilized mostly well.Everyone saying the N64 controller is bad should look at the Dreamcast controller.

I'm playing it on normal and I'm actually surprised it's an actual normal action game mode, challenging enough.I enjoyed it, but it was a bit too difficult for me.
Had to play on Easy mode.

I agree! In fact, TOK legit gave me Post Game Depression once I beat because I just wanted more.Yessssssss
TOK is a masterpiece. I adore it.

we're friends nowplus it has a banger soundtrack!
I grew up with a Nintendo 64, but there are a few classics I missed that I didn't play untill the Wii virtual console - which somehow included Super Mario 64 and both Zeldas. I later spent $40 on a Majora's Mask cartridge just to see how it felt on a Nintendo 64 controller and yeah, it was better. Games designed around 6 face buttons feel better with 6 face buttons, who'd have thunk. The two extra shoulder buttons don't always help since they're not always mapped sanely - and the C buttons are often somewhat related in function even when they're not mapped the camera and therefore feel better when they're next to each other.Please don't drag me to the marketplace and pelt me with rotting vegetables, but: would you be so kind and explain to me why some of you are getting so excited to buy one of the worst controllers that has ever been conceived in the history of poorly designed things.

How many have you actually tried then? Doesn't sound like you got the opportunity to play very many.Confession time: I don’t like a single NES, SNES, N64 game. I’ve never bought a VC game and I played the NSO titles for a combined 5 minutes since they launched.
wait, what the fuck? do you mean on NSO or in general? this is fucking wild. there are so many SNES games that are better than most modern gamesConfession time: I don’t like a single NES, SNES, N64 game. I’ve never bought a VC game and I played the NSO titles for a combined 5 minutes since they launched.
Gasp! I loved the DC controller, and I always tell people it's one of my favorites along with the original Duke Xbox controller and the Wii U gamepad.Everyone saying the N64 controller is bad should look at the Dreamcast controller. It’s like the N64 controller, but worse.
Yes, same here.Is anyone skipping the nso thing until the library becomes more robust , I'm thinking of waiting this out really feel like it's not worth the cash right now.
It's like that with every update. 9pm EasternNintendo really pushing that 10/25 N64 release date to its absolute limit.
It’s funny because Animal Crossing updates are usually a day early. If they announce an update for November 5, it’s out November 4 at 9 PM EasternIt's like that with every update. 9pm Eastern
Fuck yes. PM1 and 2 are the best in the series by far.Are the original Paper Mario and Super Paper Mario still worth playing?

The N64 control stick isn't like any stick today so it gives a different feeling and the games back then were made with that stick in mind.Please don't drag me to the marketplace and pelt me with rotting vegetables, but: would you be so kind and explain to me why some of you are getting so excited to buy one of the worst controllers that has ever been conceived in the history of poorly designed things.

Hi, Jimbo!Imagine wanting to play old games. They are like ancient. Why would anybody play these?
You should try Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the SNES. It's a really good game. Super Metroid is alsoConfession time: I don’t like a single NES, SNES, N64 game. I’ve never bought a VC game and I played the NSO titles for a combined 5 minutes since they launched.
I'm sure there is some game that you like. Sure NES has a lot of games that are outdated due to them still thinking of making games hard as hell from the arcade times or not having proper game design, but there are games that still work wonderful today. Even more so with the SNES. For N64... yeah it's hard to go back and enjoy the first 3D era, but something like Paper Mario really is timeless iyam.Confession time: I don’t like a single NES, SNES, N64 game.

FTFYImagine wanting to play games.
I have most of these games on other platforms tbh, Also I can see why someone wouldnt want to get nso tho cause it too expensive as wellImagine wanting to play old games. They are like ancient. Why would anybody play these?
OMG I did not know you were on Famiboards! I loved you as Wonder Woman!Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
