I just got an N64 console

[Jandels]

Childhood dream come true brahs.
First game I bought was Mariokart. My second choice is goldeneye 007. I never had one as a kid, so I only remember a few games I played.

Open to any great game recommendations.
Originals are hard to find here but I've seen these chinese reproductions;

Has anyone played one of these? 340 games in one, is it legit?

no experience with these knock-off cartridges but N64 emulation still isn't perfect

don't know the details but apparently it's a pretty complicated system to emulate properly

there are a lot of gems that are way overpriced if you want a real copy (f.e. Conkers Bad Fur Day)

one that is cheap and one of the absolute GOAT is Wave Race, it also aged really well (unlike Goldeneye... sorry brah)

Thanks for your input brah.

I remember playing so many hours of goldeneye multiplayer at friends houses, I just have to have it! Lol

Also remember 1080 snowboarding and a wrestling game (not sure which one)

[GnomeSaiyanBruh]

Fuk boyo. I remember when I got mine when it came out, and the first game I had was shadows of the empire (Star Wars game). Good times.

[KathleenRyan]

I've never used one of those "Super Cartridges", but if the price isn't outrageous and if the reviews are positive I'd give it a shot.

Still have original N64. Fuk man, might start up a Goldeneye campaign this weekend.

[sooby]

Starfox 64
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Donkey Kong 64
Zelda: Majoras Mask
Super Smash Bros
Rayman 2: Great Escape

[Retoaded]

1080 was awesome.

starfox 64.

F-zero

Perfect Dark was better than Goldeneye. There, I said it.

[Hypernation]

A lot of good game ideas in here. If you’re a Star Wars fan these three titles are priceless:

Shadows of the Empire
Rogue Squadron
Pod Racer

[TokenV]

Donkey Kong 64
Zelda: Majoras Mask

Perfect Dark

heads up: you need the expansion pack for these

OP you got one?

[dcbone30]

Donkey Kong 64 - Better than Mario 64
Diddy Kong Racing - Better than Mario Kart 64

Change my mind.

I still have my original one but I need to buy an old school tv because it won't play on my 4k

[maori-rap]

Kicking it old school I see. If I were to buy an old Sega MD with the classic games, I would go dizzy with nostalgia and come apart.

you can buy converters on amazon, ebay ect

just get an AV to HDMI converter. S-video if you have an S-video cable for n64. Some games wont look great though because they were made for CRT. goldeneye looks like ass.

luckily in Europe we got SCART, best native signal you can get from a N64 (I have a RGB modded one)

[ClivesTriceps]

Conker's Bad Fur Day is the greatest game on N64

[blissful88]

I'm not sure how they could fit 340 games on that kind of storage cartridge

You have to play Zelda OoT; the ultimate adventure



And yeah try to find one of those red "expansion pack" cartridges, if I remember right it gives you a whopping 8mb of RAM

[snailsrus]

I might be able to dig up some real games and send you them. Paper Mario was the best

[TokenV]

I might be able to dig up some real games and send you them. Sunshine Mario was the best

Sunshine is a Gamecube game

chit completely forgot about those things lmao!

[Kabamaro]

I remember playing Pokemon Stadium

Best pokemon game after gameboy color

I think I might and report back.

I'm not sure. Heres a pic of the slot, can you tell by looking at it?



There is also a card in the controller, I think thats for saving games?

Thanks for the offer Snails! But I don't think they would work. My console is the european PAL format and american consoles are NTSC if I remember correctly?

yeah that's a Jumper Pack, the Expansion Pack is red on top and completely fills the opening

this means you can't play Donkey Kong, Majora or Perfect Dark

and the card in the controller is the Controller Pak which is used by certain games to save

a lot of N64 games still save on the cartridge though so these work with a battery of which the lifespan is getting quite critical since they're mostly 20+ yo by now...

My console is the european PAL format and american consoles are NTSC if I remember correctly?

yep N64 is region locked so you can only play PAL games

this means they run at 50Hz, so slower than 60Hz NTSC

on the plus side you might have the option to hook it up through SCART, which offers the best picture quality? not sure if they have SCART in Australia though....?

Thanks for clarifying m8!

I looked up SCART, I have never seen on of those plugs. It looks like an old dot matrix printer cable.

My output is the standard RCA's. I can handle the poor graphics for nostalgias sake

Those multi-game carts can draw over the voltage of the cart slot and fry your console.

N64 is GOAT.

Ah man, I don't want that obviously. Have you seen this happen first hand?

Some of the modern copies of games - Zelda in particular - can't be found in PAL format, they all seem to be US NTSC version. So if I want to play them this multi cart seems like my only option. Unless I can find an original and pay through the nose..

Not first hand, but people on the internet yes.

You can always get an everdrive, but those are a bit pricey. Basically you put all the games on a micro sd and can play everything.

Check out Jet Force Gemini, this game was incredible except for the tribals
