    My nieces and nephews, who are in their 20s and 30s now, still have fond memories of us playing the Mario Party games, a lot of fun.

    John, you have to remember, at that point, there was only one FPS Duke Nukem, and 2 sidescrollers.
    So Duke Nukem being an FPS was actually the outcast.

    So cool to see someone talk a bit about Knockout Kings! It's sort of been forgotten after Fight Night took over, but the bones of Fight Night started with Knockout Kings

    Yes, originally Fighting Force was going to be Streets of Rage 4. At least it was pitched that way, but Eidos wanted it to be multiplatform and obviously SEGA wasnt cool with that and declined.

    Note to anyone who does not know. Magical Tetris Challenge is not just another Tetris. It introduces new shapes to the mix, something 98% of the other Tetrises don't do.

    Star Wars Episode 1 came out in 1999, so the game being out in the same year made perfect sense?

      He may have confused it with the Star Wars re-release in 1997.

      He just pumps stuff out with very little research done and just the most basic commentary. I’m new to this channel and it’s kinda like comfort food but he’s not the most insightful content creator.

    The movie Episode 1 came out in May of 1999. It was the Special Editions of the Original Trilogy that came out in 1997. So it would've been impossible for the Racer game to exist before 99 since the movie didn't exist yet.

    Phantom Menace premiered in theaters in March of '99, Racer released in June or July that summer, so not really sure where you'd be getting the idea the game came out before the film...
    Beetle Adventure Racing is one of the best racing games on the N64, bit of a hidden gem nowadays. People definitely shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it merely because of the licensing.

    The Beetle was still a thing even later. My current car was an 2007 covertable. there is so little space in there. it has a back seat but nobody would ever be able to fit (little kids much less adults)

    I was playing Castlevania and Smash but I was excited by the Dreamcast launch. I prepared for it, picked up some games that were put out early and stood in line at target before they opened. I ended up being the only one in line 😂 and the people inside didn't know what I was talking about

    Duke Nukem Zero Hour was pretty good. I had the choice between that game and Army Men Sarge's Heroes. Zero Hour does not hold up well today due to how slow it plays, but it was great for its time. The only drawback was that there were no checkpoints in any of the levels. There were quite a few sections where instant death occurred. You also had to remember what you did previously in a given level. If you took an elevator and went to the second floor of a building, but the time machine part was through some vents that led down to the first floor only have to use the elevator again to continue through the level, you had to remember to get out of the way when you push the button for the elevator to avoid being squashed. If you were squished, then you had to start the level over again.

    Man, that "Namco Museum 64" looks awesome! My grandma had "Ms. Pac Man" for gameboy, while my older bro had the Galaga/Galaxian for gameboy! they eventually grew out of playing those games.. luckily I didnt! as I still own their cartridges to this day!!
    "Sarge's Heroes" is pretty hard but still a lot of fun! That's one of those games that you're better off playing on an emulator with the quick-save..

    Perfect Dark was (still is) my all-time favorite N64 game. It was the one game that got me to put down my Dreamcast controller. I bought it, and the memory pak deal on the same day. What a game!
    *Edit- I could have sworn I got Perfect Dark on the N64 in 1999.

    I preferred wcw/nwo revenge by myself, but with wcw nitro,me and my family had a GREAT time with it. It was easier to grasp (or just easier to mash buttons and get lucky which evened the playing field.) We tried ALL the rings and cheats, and would just laugh. Terrible game, but such a great memory.

    lmao "how I played Harvest Moon 64 is I took it out and played WWF Wrestlemania 2000 instead" the shade. As much as I enjoy Knockout Kings 2000 and easily the best imo for the N64 I do think there are better boxing games later. The Final Night series for the 360/PS3 era are pretty fun. Whenever I see one of these lists I'm always shocked at how many racing games there were for the system
