Why is a fat chick licking an N64 with DD like she's getting ready to eat it?

Mischief Makers has aged like ass in the gameplay department but it's still great

If you haven't played Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon you're missing out

Don't know if either really counts as a "hidden gem" around here though

>>15791617

This stupid fuckibg picture has made my fucking day, Anon. God I really love this place sometimes.

>>15791674

Daily reminder Kelsey is a literal fucking kike.

DSKoopa confirmed.

The N64 was the WiiU of its day. There are no `hidden gems'.

It was worth borrowing from a friend for OoT and Mario 64, but the only people who actually owned one were shameless Nintendo fanboys.

Most people owned a PSX and maybe a Saturn if they were a real enthusiast.

N64 was the worst console of all time, for games and hardware. Disappointing. I played Quest 64 and then gave the thing to my younger brother and haven't bought a Nintendo product since.

>>15791838

>I played Quest 64 and then gave the thing to my younger brother and haven't bought a Nintendo product since.

Makes sense considering thats probably the worst game on the n64.

I couldn't even force myself to buy an Everdrive 64 on a whim. That's how little I like the N64's library. I already have most of the "best" games, and I don't even play those. Maybe because severe depression keeps me from enjoying anything unless it's REALLY good, but even that doesn't last long.

Played the shit out of it as a kid, but not sure how well it holds up now. But I remember it was a decent 3D flying/shooting game

>>15791853

Well anon all the best games are multiplayer.

>>15791639

>why is a fat chick acting like she's about to eat something

>>15791838

It's not the "worst console of all time" but it's probably Nintendos worst console (the virtual boy is a handheld so I don't count it). I grew up with an N64 as a kid and I will be the first to admit nearly every game I grew up with save for maybe 2-3 have aged like cheese in the sun. Golden eye, Shadow of the empire, Smash bros, Diddy king racing it just looks like hot trash. The only game I can think of that has aged fine is Kirby crystal shard which is a fantastic game. But yeah the controller for the console is shit, the music is lackluster and the graphics are god awful

>OMG I'm such a nerd X3 I play all the geek games like Animal crossing and animal crossing

>>15791986

True, 4 player Goldeneye was a hoot and a half twenty-plus years ago, but as an adult, good luck finding a time when you and three friends have the time and desire to play N64, and that's if your friends haven't been killed by cancer, random illnesses, or suicide.

>>15792102

You'd be surprised how many people normalfags even are still down for Smash, Blitz 2001 or Mario Kart.

Too bad I only play ultra-autistic anime fighters now

>>15791964

'bout as hot as the north pole my man

>>15792117

Yes but that's really only out of the novelty of playing a game they enjoyed as a child. If you were a zoomer who never played say, golden eye on the N64 you would not have that warm fuzzy nostalgia feeling and see it as trash

Conker's Bad Fur Day.

One of, if not the last game released for the system. The best adventure/platformer game on the N64 hands down, sporting the best graphics the system has seen, very varied gameplay, full voice acting and some really good adult potty humor, all without the expansion pak. And it's made by Rare.

It was fairly expensive in Europe when I bought it, probably still is, but it's very worth the money.

>>15792161

>adult potty humor

>it was fairly expensive in Europe

Your being European goes a long way to explain your literal shit sense of humor.

>>15792167

>I hate fun

Dude, just play the game first before you talk shit.

>>15792228

>Megaman 64 is a decent port

At what point does it stop being nostalgia and start being alzheimers

>>15792259

Eh, you lose voice quality, you gain antialiasing. The original Playstation version is superior overall, but the 64 version isn't a godawful port.

>>15791614

I recently went through the n64 library, there are only 5-6 acceptable games, the rest is a horribly aged graphics- and controll-clusterfuck

N64 has no "hidden gems" everyone knows the same 30 games and there's maybe 3 or so they don't mention but the nerds do. That's it. The system has fuck all for its library

>>15792309

This but 100% unironically.

Bomberman HERO is an alright single player 3D platformer with a bitchin' soundtrack.

Bomberman 64 is a very fun multiplayer that plays very differently than standard bomberman games(round 3D explosions, but stages and mechanics are properly designed around it).

>>15791818

It really shined when it came to multiplayer games.

Supporting 4 controllers from the start, mario sipn-offs, smash, goldeneye, bomberman were the shit when you had friends/family to play with.

>>15791818

oh stfu.

>>15792040

We'll see about that.

Is there an actually good N64 stick replacement/alternative yet?

>>15791614

All these games >>15791629, Ogre Battle 64, Mischief Makers, Doom 64, Goldeneye 64, Wonder Project J2 and Perfect Dark

>>15793616

There's drop-in replacements that are basically Gamecube analog sticks, but you can't do smash-attacks with them.

>>15791778

That hasn't been true for over a decade. I know some kids hated it at release because of the time mechanic but half of the N64 Zelda fans like it better than OoT.

>>15793159

Bomberman 64 and its sequel are fun games that truly capture the essence of the Bomberman franchise. Hero was charming, but kinda janky and tedious.

metaljesus is weird and his sister in op image isnt fooling anybody.

>>15794340

The only way I'd ever let anyone try Mario Party on my N64 is if I had 4 steel-stick controllers, though then I'd be more worried about the player's hands than my controllers. I swear one day I'll mod that game so every controller ruining game uses nothing but mashing buttons.

>>15792161

That title goes to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, the blue cartridge

That's not the aforementioned game

>but it's very worth the money.

It's a great game but come the fuck on, it's 200 bucks already

>>15791617

>>15794109

The only interesting thing about metal jesus is he worked at Sierra in the 90s. Aside from that he's the kind of man who spend thousands of dollars on games that sit in his basement so he can fill some kind of autistic OCD urge in his mind

>>15791614

I wont help you find the next game for your youtube show. Go away and stop making videos. Maybe then the prices on games that were made in the billions can stop being sold like there were only 30 copies made.

I fucking hate this fag

>>15791838

Quest 64 is a game you play because you're a huge history enthusiast or you grew up on it. There are only 5 true RPG games for the whole system lineup (not including any Japan only titles if there are any). It's so scarce that Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Megaman Legends are thrown in to the category and purists have hilariously put multiple disclaimers that Hybrid Heaven "isn't a true RPG" even though it hits every mark none of the other games I just mentioned do.

>>15795990

The era of finding cool old games for dirt cheap at garage sales and thrift stores is gone. The mass resurge in retro gaming interest by normalfag has ruined the market and now every middle aged mom with a Mario duck hunt cart they found in the attic thinks they have a collectors item on their hands.

>>15795990

I barely even see any games of worth at yard sales where I am. Usually just shovelware, licensed shit, shooters, common shit every has, etc. And generally no older than sixth gen. On rare occasion someone might actually have something decent, but it's rarer still for it to be a good price (considering I've found people selling games at market value despite the fact that "we couldn't find any buyers on ebay" is their logic for doing so). I think a lot of people are just aware these days that older games, especially ones for Nintendo systems, can be worth decent money, so they're more apt to sell them elsewhere, leaving mostly dregs behind that aren't worth the effort but they still want taken off their hands. Of course, yard sales are a crapshoot in general if you actually want stuff to work, unless they can prove it before selling it to you.

You could consider trawling yard sale listings on craigslist or your local equivalent and either search within that section for posts with "video games", but I'd stay out of the direct "For sale: video games" section. Too many people aware of what stuff is worth from what I've seen (even when they're not local brick and mortar using it advertise), to the point I have to question why someone's trying to sell an incomplete game for $200 cash amidst just his local market. Just strikes me that his net's too thin to warrant it.

In general though, yard sales, as well as thrift stores, goodwills, pawnshops, etc where I am are just plain shit when it comes to looking for vidya. Either people here are too smart to dump their good shit there when they could get more money elsewhere, and just use those places as a dumping ground for shit that wouldn't be worth the effort of selling/that other stores here won't take, or there's roaming scalpers that buy up anything of interest for resell.

>>15796021

What killed cheap video game collecting is access to smartphones which anyone can look up the ebay or amazon price of a game in an instant. I remember finding Majoras mask with a holographic cover on it at a Goodwill store years ago and I know for a fact that it would be in the case they had there for 20-30 dollars now even thought it's no more rarer then it was in that time. Normalfags found out these games are wanted

>>15796038

*I remember finding Majoras mask with a holographic cover on it for around 5 dollars

>>15796021

>>15795990

Might add though with luck and persistence, you might still be able to at least find a system cheaply at a yard sale. I found a tub with an NES, SNES, and N64 in it at one last year. Seller wanted twenty dollars, talked him down to ten in case they didn't work. The NES sure didn't, but the other two did (SNES required buying cables for though). But regardless, it's a massive crapshoot, and almost certainly going to be purely dependent on luck if wasting that much gas looking each weekend for a cheap N64 is going to still come out cheaper than buying an eventual one at average price and only having to make one trip/pay for shipping.

>>15796038

Goodwill has had the additional issue that, at least a few years back, they had opened an east coast electronics and media focused store, and had shipped a lot of actually good stuff there as sales fodder. And they charged market price as well from photos I'd seen online (like Twilight Princess GC for $70 at the time). I will say though that I have rather decent luck every so often with a local multimedia chain. They have had a noticeable tendency to fuck up prices in either direction, asking more than average for certain games and less for others. Far, far more, and far, far less in some cases, and I've been able to find some games of interest I'd written off playing outside of emulation or modded systems there for fucking cheap compared to what they tend to be. But as mentioned earlier, it really doesn't extend to prior than sixth gen at this point, nor even to systems. For all the times the staff taking stuff in seem to not really know what they're getting in, games for older systems, if they're not shovelware/licensed/SPOATS, tend to be going rate, because "if it's old, it's worth gold" mindset, and the areas devoted to each are quite small, probably because they still get what comes in for them moved out fairly fast, especially popular titles. I have never found what I'd consider a great deal on NES, SNES, or N64 there.

>>15796038

It sounds like she's flicking the bin while he's explaining shit.

>>15796004

It's horrible, I saw a "retro video game" shop pop up in my area and the prices are insane. They have atari 2600 games going for $20 and nes games like the original LoZ for fucking $60.

>>15796315

It really depends on the area. There's some stores in the towns around mine that aren't too bad, some that really are and that I have no clue how they stay open, and ones that go either direction unreliably on a given trip. The fact that there's actually local options here that aren't just Gamestop probably act as some degree of check on each other. Can't say the same for other towns I've been through. Stopped in at a game store in Sparks, Nevada while on a road trip last year or so, and fucking hell, their prices made even the worst I see here look tamer. Like, $40 minimum for what goes for $20 here in the same or better condition. And while obviously I didn't bring that up to the employees, talking with a local, they said that those sort of prices weren't just average, they were actually rather good for the area. I mentioned them asking twice what things go for back home for me, and got a reply of "I guess your town doesn't have much interest in games." Which is absolutely incorrect in my experiences.

I don't know if they had a local monopoly there or what. The town my dad lives in had only one remotely closeby store that sold anything older than directly past gen, and as such they charged prices much above what they are where I live. Next time I came to visit, the store was gone; something about the mall it was in remodeling and not considering that sort of store to fit the image they wanted. While I could say "good riddance" considering their prices, the next nearest non-Gamestop game store is a solid 45 minutes away from there by freeway some towns to the northwest, leaving only pawn shops and pickers for older vidya. I am damn glad I've got a CFWed PS3 and Wii over there for when I visit, because there's nothing to really be found at good prices there anymore if Gamestop and the like don't carry it directly.

>They have atari 2600 games going for $20 and nes games like the original LoZ for fucking $60.

Absolutely ridiculous. I think Zelda's about $20-30 here (still pretty bad, considering it's common as fuck, but that's Nintendo tax), but Atari never gets remotely that high. Some stores don't even seem to take it, other prices them really low because they just eat up shelf space. I have to question if that store that popped up where you are is the only local option, in which case I can see them trying their luck. I live in a town clustered by other towns, and directly within my town, there's only a single non Gamestop vidya focused store, and for a while they were asking absolutely stupid prices on everything, right down to the soda they kept in a fridge ($3 for a can when the Circle K down the road has 40oz and ice for under a dollar, what the fuck). I still don't go to them much, but they seem to have at least come down to "competitive", and in some cases honestly have aren't bad ($15 for Otogi last I went; considering getting that for a friend if he still has his Xbox HUEG around). But Gamestop some years back really did a number here, to the point there were 10 or 11 of them in a five mile radius choking every other game store out of business. Part of why I started delving into the surrounding towns since the whole area's gridlocked.

>>15801788

Limp wristed retort. It's well known the n64 had an abysmal library.

You can play the old pokemon games on the N64 if you have cartridge appliance on the pokemon stadium games.

Also Gex and the chameleon games are pretty fun too

>>15793976

It's a fun game if you can adapt to slightly archaic controls, which I can. Only played it for the first time a few years ago, and had a lot of fun with it. If you're a zoomer who grew up with dual analogue, you'll probably find it near unplayable.

Protip: use the alternative control scheme. It's better

>>15792300

>The only proper shmup on the system

Not true. There's a Japan only game called Dezaemon 3D, which is actually two shmups in one package, that even has a level editor.

>>15801788

Weebshit gets an easy pass into the "hidden gems" category because they are often very limited production runs that had zero advertising budget and tend to get completely overlooked because they all look exactly the same, based on their cover art, at least. So you end up with various hard to find games that few have heard of and can sometimes be pretty great.

>>15801788

>>15806108

The games from EA, Microsoft, Activision, Bethesda… look far, far more generic.

But since they have full control of the npcs through the press, the shills and the promotional awards (they give prizes to themselves and everyone applauds), they get away with it.

>>15793976

I loved the shit out of that game when I was young. I rented it so often the guy at the video told me to just buy it. I could never find a retail copy though.

Nigger, you have to be hard fucking pressed to try and prove to anyone that the N64 is worse than the fucking 3D0, 32x, Jaguar, N-Gage, etc just because you played a game with missed potential.
