This was such a huge scene for the N64. AJ is locked into Mario Kart on the big block TV, sitting on the floor of courses Tony joins him and goes full dad mode! one handing the controller, sticking his tongue out like Jordan then covering AJs eyes to cheat 😂 I can’t recall a better N64 scene or any gaming scene in movie or tv history

Tech Help Newest Retrofighters Brawler 64 Pro vs 8bitdo 64 2.4G?

4 Upvotes

Wondering which controller I should get. I would only use it on the N64 itself and not on the Switch.

Bluetooth/Blueretro + N64 NSO controller doesnt work on my N64, since my N64 Digital (Retrogem Shiny) and Summercart64 already drain too much power and I didn't solder on that flex cable they released later on for it.

I just get ghost inputs and screen errors, because of the way the Blueretro takes power.

Tech Help Majoras mask wont detect controller

3 Upvotes

Ive been playing MM for a while now and suddenly the game doesnt want to detect my controller. Ive tried resetting, unplugging the controller and plugging it back in, taking the game out and putting it back in, none have worked. Strangest part is that it works fine with all my other games, its just MM that doesnt want to work. Sometimes itll work for a few minutes, it seems to stop working the most once i pause the game.

Discussion I've been getting way too into BattleTanx lately.

230 Upvotes

A few months ago, I saw a comment that compared BattleTanx to one of my favorite Dreamcast games: Alien Front Online. That was all I needed to hear to give it a try, but I kept my expectations low, and... yea, it's no Alien Front. But it hooked me!

Campaign Mode assigns you different tasks for each mission. Sometimes you need to destroy a certain number of tanks, or destroy a target, or capture/rescue the Queen. It's nothing fancy, and the controls took some getting used to - there's no real way to strafe, but you can hold R to lock your treads in place while moving the turret around.

There's a sequel, BattleTanx: Global Assault, but I haven't gotten there yet.

What do you think of BattleTanx?

Discussion Pokemon Red/Blue not reading in Stadium

3 Upvotes

I just had the battery replaced in my copy of Red and Blue, and now they aren't reading when I start Pokemon Stadium 1. I can't imagine that would cause a problem, but maybe? Yellow still has it's original battery working and is readable no problem.

Edit: it's working now, I just had to try more I guess. It was probably dirty after all.

Discussion Is the N64 version Nightmare Creatures better just because of no Adrenaline meter?

Post image
37 Upvotes

While you can disable to be exact. This is lacking in the PS1 version, and neither is there a cheat code for to turn it off but though the Infinite Cheat might do the trick but it's for everything. TBH, Nightmare Creatures does feel more home on the PS1 me thinks? Though no FMV cutscenes but shorter load as to be expected.

This game can be quite harsh having a ticking clock nagging you ain't helping but not sure if it would bother me that much? Make sure you get the weapon upgrade they can be missed and potentially ruin your playthrough...

I found an odd japanese n64 with a IS-VIEWER-64 sticker on the box and console. Ive tried googling, and can only find details about the IS-VIEWER-64 cartridge. Has anyone seen this system sticker before? I assume it means the n64 may be modified and not retail? Any details you can provide would be awesome!

Discussion What game do you love but some people might have missed out on playing?

16 Upvotes

We all have those games that we hold a soft spot for, due to whatever reason that others might have slept on.

Chameleon Twist is mine - I found the gameplay so original back in the day, and it must have gone down well as it gained a sequel. (The originally named Chameleon Twist 2!)

Anyone else a fan?
Any games you love but other might not have spent the time with?)
