When I was a child...like 11 years old, my father bought me a N64 and this game came with it. As a low-middle class Mexican boy, for me that was really something BIG in my life. My old man did his effort to get me my own N64. I was fascinated with the graphics, music and everything else.
I remember with a smile and some tears in my eyes that he (my dad) used to watch me play in our livingroom. And he was also amused with the "realism" of the game.
He died in 2013 and I still miss him A LOT. So, sometimes I get to see this video to remember him, to remember better days.
Thank you for uploading it!
:')
Edit: Thanks everyone for your support and for taking the time to read about my old man. I hope you're going well trough this hard times. Bless from Monterrey México.
❤ very touching comment
José Iván Díaz Hinojosa aww I feel so bad hope you feel better 😢
José Iván Díaz Hinojosa yea those was some good times. Life was just better and simple back then. By the way sorry bout ya Dad
Sorry for your loss. What a great gift especially in the circumstances. This game was amazing. RIP to your dad
Peruvian Heat that’s why I subbed
When i was a kid me and my dad played this alot together .. My dad died last Christmas so its really good to look back on this game with the music and all rip dad
Oh my god my dad died and I used to play it with him when I was a kid. And now I discovered it in his old stuff this weekend. And there are just soo many memories. Also I'm sorry for your loss.
wonderful memory
Sorry to hear about your dad :( I have a similar thing with Wave Race and my dad who passed away a couple of years ago. He never played video games, but he loved this. We played it a hell of a lot around 1997 when I was 12.
Sorry for your loss man. Keep your head up. Keep the good memories
❤️🙏🏿
This game has such a warm atmosphere. The announcer plus the music never fails to put a smile on my face. Couple that with the water that still looks good to this day, and this is one game I go back to often
Absolutely agree! This is by far one of my top racing games of all time!
The announcer is so good haha I love it
when you hit first place at the finish it's so uplifting
Whats the name of the game in ur profile?
@@flowrepins6663 Its artwork of Vivi from Final Fantasy IX
For an N64 game from 1996 these graphics are exceptional. They must have been mind-blowing at the time.
I was 6 when the N64 game out in 96, and I got this game in the 90s, and I was obviously still a kid... I always thought the graphics was like the best thing ever in video game history. However I can see how dated they are looking at them now, but still not too bad.
They were.
They so were. Going from 16-bit 2D games to this was mind blowing for me. I think Waverace 64 was the first time I thought a game looked ‘real’. I’d use my imagination a bit in those days to fill in the gaps but on the whole the water etc seemed so realistic. Waverace 64 is really special to me.
We had never seen water like this before, it was hard to believe. Especially the idea of there being physics associated with the water and the way the waves interacted with the player. One of the defining games of the N64 for sure. Prior to this most water effects was just a 2d plane with a texture shader and splash sprites that followed the character as they moved through it.
this was perhaps the first 3D videogame I saw in real life back in 96. I was stunned. The water physics were like the real deal!, or so I thought. I know it looks dates but part of me that remember that first impression of child-me never forgets. Thats the privilegue of being born with the advent of 3D graphics in videogames and movies. In the 90s the VFX and 3d graphics became ubiquitous.@@schwarg note that my first console was the NES so my baseline for comparison was 8 to 16-bit nintendo graphics. My first videogame ever (never gonna forget) was Super Mario Bros.
When i finally got my 64 after months of watching and playing in my neighbors home, it came with mario 64 but I wasn't that excited (i already played and not understood the hype gameplay wise--- i know, stupid... but i was amazed at the graphics... i think i was frustrated because it was difficult the 3D platformer mechanics). my neighbors got excited about mario 64 because they didn't get that game, so i became excited too! i quickly fell in love.
but man i was waiting for OoT after watching the trailer. And when my uncle brought me the game as a gift I was the happiest kid ever.
I remember the first time I saw the Ocarina of time trailer in cartoon networks. Goddamn its like I saw GOD.
Never in my life I imagined graphics like that!
Kids born post-2000 would never understand the true revolution that Zelda OOT meant to the game industry.
People just will never know. There is no words to describe just the hype and excitement you had as a kid merely watching the intro screen demo around. Sure we had seen stuff like doom, and some older 3d fps PC games...but the sense of exploration and thrill of pacing in a 3d environment so rich looking was unheard of. Moments like after or day after Christmas, going to a friend's house and seeing it in person for yourself finally. Just watching the screen going this is real...were really alive for the peak of gaming. The soon to be seen screenshots of things like Mario Kart/007/Turok were beautiful renders that made us know we were in for a great time.
Like wow this is real, videos games have broken this barrier now. Had no idea we were at the turning point of it being the norm and couldn't even fathom something like a Uncharted game or shoot...like a gta5. We were hardly ready for wave racer. Knowing one day we could spend hours/days in a sandbox city larger than some of our own homes, and live out a fulfilling virtual life would've given an aneurysm.
haha that N64 feeling was incredible.
Had the most amazing feeling and emotion when I saw the Banjo Kazooie Box with that awesome picture.
Best game ever
imagine a new virtual boy with ar ... and ya waverace was that game that reprogrammed ur brain to get ready for n64
The in game commentator was so good for your self-esteem growing up haha...
BANZAI
What self-esteem?😑
I used to play this *so much* before I knew English, and hearing it again now is such a nice feeling
all the sounds of this game... im About to cry :)
right in the feelings!
It’s been 20 years since my uncle passed away and he introduce me to this when I was very young, definitely one of my favorite n64 games of all time.
Can i ask what happened with your uncle?
THE NOSTALGIA
Overwhelming
Sooooooo much fun!!
Trance 🧠
You have no idea
i’m 10 years old and just woke up on a summer morning in 1999. the house smells like the waffle iron heating up. the sun is shining through the window as the n64 boots up and I try to quickly eat the cut up apples and bananas my mom made me so I can focus on playing and not rushing to eat the fruit before it turns brown.
Awww. This brings back such fond memories. I'm getting the feels so intensely. Almost to the point of tears. I miss being a kid so much. This game made me so happy.
Why do you miss being a kid? Being an adult is so much better!
@@DeltathRiylaan Pffft. I'm still a kid inside, but I have to work to pay bills.
@@SunBunz Gotta pay them automobills.
Love the name 🌞 🍑 idk anyone who doesn’t appreciate some good ol’ sun buns😂
Yup, 90s era nintendo gaming...a fsure get you in the feelz-er. Lol
Those water and lighting effects were MINDBLOWING in 1996
This and goldeneye were cutting edge back in 96. Seriously this shit was HYPE back then. Blew minds
Those two games alone made me buy the N64
@@gangstamack8397 I remember when 64 first came out my mate had one with golden eye, waverace, mario64, Mariokart, and turok. I could not believe what I was seeing and I couldn’t sleep at night, all I could think about was owning a 64. me and my brother gave our parents all our saved pocket money and they got us a 64 haha. Good times I still have that 64 and it still works all these years later
those wave graphics of the water are fucking beautiful, the best looking water effects of any n64 game
That intro hit me right in the gut. Nostalgia hurts .
I remember fondly marvelling at the water in this game which was amazing for it's time. And it's aged quite well imho. Loved this game. In fact, I'm still have it, just need to get me one of those hdmi mods.
The graphics were something out of this world for its time. The mid 90's soundtrack made it complete as a gem.
Same here man. I was mesmerized by the water.
@Matthew Hodge Yeah nostalgia can do that sometimes. We all have things that make us feel like that, remembering good times from years gone by. 🥲
64 likes on my original post. Just perfect.
The only thing that didn't age well with this game is the framerate.
It's pretty bad and its somehow, on average, even worse than Daytona USA Saturn
My single-parenting mom got me this when I was 8 or 9 years old. I didn't know a single word of English back then and this awakened my love for jet-skiing. Seven years later I'd finally be riding on a jet-ski on vacation and felt such intense nostalgia. Wish they remade this game for Switch, etc
While many people are not fond of NSO (especially these days), I hope that Wave Race 64 at least gets included in the N64 lineup at some point!
It will be in de switch online list
The amount of enthusiasm in the announcer's voice is just amazing!
It ain't the same energy anymore in any sports games
I feel so ashamed of myself, how the hell did i forget about this amazing game. I used to play it for ages too. The graphics although dated here was ahead of its time with the water effects & physics, this game had some nice atmostphere & music too.
Best water racer EVER! I would love to see a 2020 updated remake. Keep the same rules, same unique looks and challenges within each the different courses and the different physics of the different machines/riders. Rider animations, engine sounds were nice, but the water effects were absolutely awesome and very engaging. Add a couple more courses and bring the game back!
I agree with you - this game holds up very well and a modern version would be awesome!
Unfortunately we won't get a remake, because Nintendo became a zombified husk of its former self, when Satoru Iwata died.
I used to play this all the time in the 90s I forgot all about it until some random game reviewer mentioned it to day. Honestly for a Nintendo 64 game the water always blew me away with how good looks.
This was the fucking game and music was on point.
1996 when these 3D games were revolutionary were some of the best, happiest days. Still as fun today as 25 years ago.
30:28 Twilight City blew my mind back in the day. The visuals 😮
That was my favorite map I would practice all my tricks there for hours on end
Thanks for the timestamp that's what I came here for.
Oh I know! My favorite course in this game. It just looks cool to play a night race My only complaint for 1080 and Wave Race for 64, would be for: 1. Longer courses
2. More courses
But oh well. Still great games 😊
@@kevischneiYes! Exactly that I think!
Holy cow I forgot all about this game! I would go to my cousin's house to play it whenever he rented it because he had the 64, and I had the original Playstation. Total blast of a game and a true classic.
You get a thumbs up for letting the title track play out.
Imagine if we could go back in time. Back then, the graphics with this game were state of the art.
Best win music EVER!!
Best music in general
BANZAI!!
Classic game! Brings so many memories playing this as a kid back in Peru ❤
This brings back so many memories coming home from elementary and jumping right in this game
Take me back . What a time to be a kid . Miss those days so much
This was one of the first games I played on the N64. Often raced against my brother back in the day. Sadly he's gone now, but this game brought back good memories. Thanks Nintendo.
This is how I was introduced to the 64. It had just came out and I was at my dad’s cousins house. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. I was hooked and never looked back. Then came extreme G, golden eye and star fox. This made my childhood the best
One of the best N64 games... still holds up well today.
this was such a great game, the physics still look good
The nostalgia brought me to freaking tears.. 🥲🥲😭😭
Holy shit I used to play this sooo much. Countless hours logged. Nostalgia hitting so hard it hurts in the best of ways lol. Might go plug up the 64 right now
Wow. This game is nearly 30 years old. I was born in the 80's. It's cool and weird how revisiting this specific era of games makes the jump in time so tangible. As a kid, the "70's" seemed like a different universe, but my experience with this game was closer to that decade than today. Gives me an appreciation for what the 40's and 50's were for my parents, and the closeness of all history in general. Anyway, lol, Wave Race 64 is great. The way the camera pans to the Dolphin Park sign at 0:13 cracks me up every time.
21:15 - What sadistic bastard puts mines near a jetski race lol
I use to want to swim in these places so badly lol
I still do!
I think the beaches on this game are based in tahiti or somewhere in the pacific islands, i know for sure dolphin park is based on tahti!
There was a pretty cool trick where you could submerge your jet and rider under water for a brief period. Used to love doing that in twilight city.
what a great time to be alive
Wave Race 64 will splash its way onto Nintendo Switch Online on August 19th!
I love the soundtrack sooo much....gah damn I miss the 90s so much.😥😥😥
Im so glad that Today is now available on Nintendo Switch. WHAT A MEMORIES! ❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️
Oh man this was a classic. If I remember correctly, it was one of the first games out on 64.
I'm so glad we have internet and can experience this heart melting nostalgia again. Used to play this with my sis when we were kids ;w;
Oh man 🥰🥴💜 brings back warm feelings.
this game was just part of the N64 catalog which for me as a like 7 year old when it came out was huge. and the music is great, brings back a lot of memories. This was one of the very very very first N64 games iirc.
I was 6 in 96. Good ol days. Ahh how i miss those days and I played this game all the time. Great memories 💔
It came out in 97
Loved this game. I used to play this one, 1080 snowboarding and MarioKart64 endlessly.
This was one of my favourite games as a kid! Brings back so many memories! Thanks for the upload
If Nintendo ever releases an N64 Classic Edition, I want this game to be on there.
Yes!
Orcarina of Time, Goldeneye, Mario 64, and Waverunner have to be on thete
@@joeshipley666 I absolutely agree. Those are all brilliant games that really make the console shine, and 3 out of 4 are first party and Nintendo would have no issue at all including them. GoldenEye 007: They have to figure that one out, because an N64 Classic Mini without that game would be utterly absurd.
Nice memories… true feeling of game revolution, this game is amazing even today. 😊
Everything about waverace 64 is just perfect, the graphics, music, sound effects, eveb the voice over is top notch. I'm having a nostlagia blast rn
Oh man the music. Suddenly I’m back in my bedroom in my old house, with my little brother.
The nostalgia and music always captivate me when I watch this . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Golden childhood
Just randomly the theme song popped up outta no where in my head and came to this. Reminiscing how simple the life was back then (well no shit cuz I didn’t have to work or feed my family) and it still amazes me how good the graphic and the music is after all these years.
My dad got this game and I played a TON of this. I lost a lot but that not the point lol. Thanks dad.
What a fun game. Glad we all have such fond memories of playing this. Would love to get a copy and play again at some point
You can play it on your PC with emulation.
thumbs up, if you remember the n64 hype around christmas, and seing this game at your local targets, with the try and play displays, with long lines , being amazed about the graphics and design of the n64, =0 gooooood timeZ.
still the most impressive, dynamic water I've ever seen in a video game. back in the 90s this was legitimately mindblowing.
Wave Race 64 proves why N64 is greater than the PS1
I love this game, I just put it on my projector at work with low volume and play some retro wave music over it while I work. Love it! Great upload!
Thank you Lord for WAVE RACEEEE
This one hits hard
I remember being 10 years old and playing this at my dad’s workplace as they had it in the pilot’s lounge. Good memories
Damn....that intro hits harder than a bus. When life was carefree....
its been so long since I've thought about wave race. I played this game SO much when i was a kid.
The opening theme song with the dolphin noises is a flood of emotions for me.
First n64 game ever. My neighbohood friend just set the system up. I was 11. I eventually got the 64 the next xmas. These comments are all spot on. So much nostalgia. Damn this game was so good. 😢😊
This game always made we want to go swimming in a lake or beach.
Me and my big bro loved this game as kids in the 90’s.Sunset Bay was always so beautiful to me the way the water reflected the sunset .Thanks for the memories
This was the first game i had as a kid with the n64 back in 97
the "sunny beach" theme song is my favorite from gameplay perspective, it just gives me this feeling of nostalgia and sadness at the same time, knowing we will never get these type of games anymore, as well as the quality soundtrack.
Still a beautiful game to this day, especially considering what it is.
Man this and hydro thunder had the best water effects of its time. I remember playing both with my dad countless hours on the weekends!!!
Bravo on the Glacier Coast performance. That large glacier at around the halfway point really fucked up my run when I first played it, which ended up ending the game because I couldn't get enough points.
This was such a good game. So exhilarating.
I rented this game at Blockbuster literally once when I was 7 but for some reason I remember playing this game and this make me feel so nostalgic.
I don’t know why but also there’s something really relaxing about watching this...? Haha
I was only 15 at the time I played this game and I was really impressed with the graphics. I'm now 42 years old and filled with nostalgia
I played this game all the time growing up! I was 8 when this came out. I just got the N64 pass for the Switch and god I felt like I was a kid again!!! Thank God for the retro game passes!
Havent played this game in years. Nostalgia typically makes games look better in your memories than they really did, but somehow the water in this game looks better than I remember.
I got this at a game store place where I live. Can't wait to play it again !!!
This game has haunted my mind for over a decade and I finally found out what I've been stuck thinking about. Used to spend so much time playing this game
This was my game as a kid...
Wave Race 64 to me is part of the trio of revolutionary games on the N64, with Super Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of Time. Those physics and wave realism were just incredible at that time.
These graphics look dated now but damn back then this game’s graphics were amazing. Such an uplifting game with those announcers. Goldeneye, NFL Blitz, San Francisco Rush, Wayne Gretsky’s Hockey, MLB ft Ken Griffey Jr, Vigilante 8, Starfox, 1080 Snowboarding, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, WCW/NWO World Tour/Revenge. It was a great time to be a kid in the late 90’s.
so much nostalgia in this video...as cheesy as the soundtrack was/is.. i still love it.. almost brought tears to my eyes..
cheesy? Those where the intro's back in those days. Listen to the Beverly Hills 990210 and BayWatch intro.
Soundtrack and Announcers were ahead of their time
Yeah this made me cry..I remember my parents got me Wave Race and 007 Goldeneye and removed the games from the boxes and placed them in macaroni noodle boxes kraft to be exact 😂 and glued them back up and wrapped them..im now 37 with 5 kids of my own ❤..I'll never forget that Christmas Rip mom & dad
I remember renting this game from blockbuster a few times..Awesome game!
The good old days.
Oh the memories! I did tricks on every single jump and still won every race! XD
Except for when I crashed my cocky jumps on the last lap. :P
Man this shyt bring back memories always gave me a feel of out run and Zelda with the music great game wow I’m getting old lol
I was digging through some old stuff around my house and found this game. I sold off everything else n64 related almost 20 years ago. What memories this brings back.
I remember playing this game as a kid but i didn't have much fun because im not into racing, only adventure for me. But it was still part of my childhood
Mi infancia :')
Si es un juego impresionante (;
Mi infancia tambien :')
🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
Eres tu jise maria
@@carliitos__ eeeh
My whole family passed away and this game reminds me of every single one them watching me play this game, oh the nostalgia.
You wake up, It's summer break of 1999 and you race over to your friends house on your bike to play this. 😏 good times man... good times..
I loved this game as a kid. As side note I loved dirt bikes and was a Suzuki/Honda type of kid. This game with the Kawasaki logos and it’s fun atmosphere, and the “Let The Good Times Roll” led me to being a Kawi guy.
Excelente vídeo !!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I miss this game !
God this was my favorite game as a kid
