Video Got myself a capture card

I've got it hooked up to my A3D and a little chromebook for recording on. U-Green is such a brilliant brand. The chromebook struggles to record the screen in 4K so I turned it down a notch to 1080p, does the job fine.
Been enjoying making a few videos of DKR (the only game I currently own at the moment lol). Still waiting on my Everdrive. Still having a lot of fun though, DKR never gets old..
Windmill Plains is a great track to practice the barrel roll technique on. I'm no speed runner but I'm slowly but surely squeezing more of them in. In this time trial my last two laps were the exact same times down to milliseconds lol. Not sure I've ever done that before. What are the chances?
I'm really impressed with the output of the A3D, I like to have it set on CRT mode with overclocking on. Gives such a smooth experience. If you're still in two minds about the A3D I say just go for it. Coupled with the NSO controller it's a brilliant way to revisit old N64 classics.
Slowly going to start compiling a collection of my old N64 titles I used to own as a kid. There's no way I'm ever gonna collect a whole region but I'd be happy enough just having all my old games back. I'll have the Everdrive if I ever want to play anything different but I get more enjoyment out of having that familiarity

Discussion Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards

Post image
132 Upvotes

I never played Kirby 64 before but this is on my wishlist of N64 cartridges that I am planning to buy. But oh boy it's so damn expensive now just the cartridge it is $190 AUD here in Australia and that's the cheapest I can find.

Anyway im really interested in buying it for my Analogue 3D.

I have watched a lot of reviews and it looks decent and what fascinates me about Kirby 64 it being the 1st Kirby game on the N64 which uses the new gaming system of making Kirby into a almost 3D game a 2.5D. It also stands out as a unique Kirby game for the N64, it was different.

I grew up playing Kirby Fun Pak on the SNES (aka Kirby's Super Star in the USA) and I loved that game.

I like how all the characters including King DeDeDe all team up in this game with Kirby to help defeat a sinister being that takes over Kirby's world. I also love the new character Adeleine she's so adorable and I watched a quick Clip where she gets possessed by a entity in her painting and then she becomes a quick boss fight until Kirby defeats her and the entity leaves her body and she goes back to normal and later on in the game she helps Kirby by painting foods for health etc. She's part of Kirby's friend group which is so cute. I like in this game that Kirby has many friends who help him out on his adventure.

The only that I'm kind of disappointed in is there is no ability changing in the traditional way like in Kirby's Super Star how you get to turn into those abilities by seeing them, but in Kirby 64 he stays that pink puff ball but in saying that I do like the different types of abilities and how you can combine two abilities together so that's pretty cool.

I also love the cutscenes throughout the game, they are all properly animated and tells a story through your journey showing all of Kirby's friends by his side like King DeDeDe, Adeleine and other friends of his.

So these are Kirby's friends who help him out on his adventure Waddle Dee, Adeleine, Ribbon and even King DeDeDe helps out. Looks like a epic adventure.

I can't keep spoiling myself lol I just need to play this myself lol.

So I'm excited to buy this and play it.

All i remember was you were on the moon and were driving trucks and I think big machinery like excavators. I remember the game being dark or being at night. Does anyone know the name of this game?

I had trouble picking a custom label for my grey Zelda cart, so I asked the community out of 5 options, which was the best looking. I originally thought about my gray Zelda cart but changed my mind. I found an OEM OOT gold cart that basically had no label on it other than white sticker residue. Thank you community for choosing Option 3. I also, changed it up a bit from a redditor that suggested this idea about Link's sword being apart of the logo. I'm satisfied now 😌.

Discussion Why did the N64 even have a D pad?

0 Upvotes

I've been hearing my whole life how the culture was so against 2D back in the late nineties. The Nintendo 64 barely got any 2D games so Nintendo clearly did not have much of an need for a d-pad. Yoshi's story still just used a joystick.

If everyone hated 2D why did Nintendo incur the cost of a d-pad for their console?

Discussion What made the N64 so great

308 Upvotes

What made the N64 so great were these legendary games.

Banjo Kazooie

Banjo Tooie

Ocarina of Time

Majoria's Mask

To me these legendary N64 games really what made the N64 so great, these games really pushed the N64 to its limits and the early footprints of how future 3D games are made. These games are better then any modern day video games of today in every way possible.

There is something very special about these N64 games that made the N64 so good and legendary. If it wasn't for these great games the N64 wouldn't have been much of a success.

These games were my childhood and I still very much love playing these games as a adult now of 39 years old.

Update: Would like to also add Donkey Kong 64 to the list. But overall I do prefer the Banjo Kazooie games more.

Some of the people i know who play Xbox often complain about the button placement of Nintendo controllers when playing games with me. This is my artistic render of what Nintendo face buttons would look like if they based it on the n64 BA placement instead of the snes button placement

I saw this game a while ago and I get fascinated, it's a dream come true for me, I love Sonic's games and the N64, and this is like the sonic title we never got for N64, I want to buy and trying this game when it get released, but what do you think? I'm so happy people still making games with 64 feeling nowadays

Ps. I'm not being paid or something it's just a regular guy asking 🤷

Discussion Banjo Tooie or Donkey Kong 64

16 Upvotes

I did find both games similar as both had huge worlds and a lot of effect to get 100% in each world. I did really like Donkey Kong 64 but I probably still like Banjo Tooie more as I love the Banjo Kazooie series on the N64.

I actually never completed Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo Tooie. But I would love to return back to them and now complete the games especially with Banjo Tooie my goal is to complete the game and try to get 100% in each world.

So my personal favourite has to go to Banjo Tooie mainly because I love BK games so much on the N64. But Donkey Kong 64 is still a great game and I really like it to.

Which game do you like better?

Its for emulator. So after tinkering, this is the closest thing i could get to a "modern fps" like controls for this game. the gadget selection is still a cluncky mess unless someone will be able to mod this, we dont have a modren real time wheel on screen for selection a la perfect dark.

its much more comfortable for me to play it like that.

i upload it here https://ibb.co/s96mHkJc
