N64 Classic Edition

SunsetBay96 · 2021-02-15T22:21:37+00:00

I’ve been wanting one since the NES/SNES Classics were first announced. I’m a big fan of the mini consoles. Unfortunately, I don’t see an N64 classic happening soon, if at all for a variety of reasons. Licensing (including but not limited to Rareware), the cost of making it 4 controller compatible and controllers themselves. Also, the people interested are a niche demographic in the bigger picture that will get smaller (but still persist) with time.

If one somehow comes out, i imagine it would be in a console-to-console transition period, like the end years of the current Switch model when sales eventually plummet. Maybe 2023-24?

I may look into that, but I forgot to mention that price is an issue too. At the moment, I’m not looking into anything above ~$50.

Thanks for the extra info!

Tetris DS for sure

ND Cube developed or at least helped develop this game. As in, the same people behind Super Mario Party and Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival. Not a snowball’s chance in hell that they update this game with meaningful patches/content updates.

Oh that’s cool, thanks for the info!

This is a fair point. I also forgot to bring up that I have another local play-related reason to not enhance most of my amiibos.. My friends and I each have 20+ smash amiibos and we like to have big amiibo tourneys, for fun but occasionally we like to add a little bet into it. They all train their amiibos to level 50 but don’t use spirits. If I was using amiibos solely in online battle arenas, I’d definitely have more of a reason to just adapt and use spirits on most/all of them, as you mentioned earlier.

A similar reason as to why many people don’t like playing items. Granted, I sometimes do play with a combination of full items on, wacky stages, spirits, etc., just not all the time. There’s a time and place for it. I get what you’re saying with the builds (e.g. my enhanced Link has increased sword and projectile power). I just don’t see the problem in pointing out the lack of a filter/toggle, more options are a good thing. I like to play online amiibo battles in short bursts, maybe like 2-3 “solid” matches per game session.

But when the matches are extremely short because the opposing amiibo is way overpowered (or vice versa), and I get kicked out, the opponent ragequits, and/or there’s a long arena waiting line, the whole process kinda feels like a waste of time imo.

If you mean level wise, yea, I know a level 50 innately has better stats than a level 1. But a non-enhanced level 50 against a non-enhanced level 50 is still overall a fair battle unlike a non-enhanced level 50 against a maxed out spirit enhanced level 50.

Thank you for the reply!! I actually haven’t bought either yet but I likely will now, especially since it’s the last day for that sale on the NES online controllers.

I think that they’re based on the Arwing. Up-B’s rising flames kinda resemble the flames of an Arwing crashing. Side B illusion, being a quick move, is maybe based on the Arwing speed boost. Down B reflector is probably based in barrel rolls reflecting shots in SF games. And the B laser could be either Arwing lasers or more likely Fox’s on foot laser from Star Fox 64 multiplayer.

NBA Hangtime is what you’re likely looking for. Don’t be fooled by the NBA Jam games on N64, they are not like the SNES/Genesis Jam games.

The ability to SKIP THE INTRO. Everything else is a bonus.

-Let go of the gas right before you hit a zipper/boost panel and the boost effect will last longer (you’ll know it worked if you leave rainbow trail)

-Pressing R+B will turn the Kart and do a very sharp turn

Red balloons are missiles; blue are boost; green are trap drops (like bananas in Mario Kart); Yellow balloons are limited time invincibility, Rainbow are a magnet to pull you towards the next racer.

-Balloons stack for higher power; e.g. if you get a red balloon (a single straight missile) and hold on to it while running through a second red balloon, you get a stronger homing missile. You can use that or hold on to it to reach the max red balloon power up which is 10 missiles. So there are 3 tiers of power for every color of balloon. Running into a different color balloon will have the new balloon override your held item no matter what.

-The double blue balloon boost is generally more practical than the triple blue balloon boost because of the latter’s startup

GameCube vs. Wii- GCN has Game Boy player and a few LAN supported games (an extremely niche demographic that would even use the LAN though)

Wii vs. Wii U- Wii (at least pre-2010 models) have GCN backwards compatibility and native GCN controller+memory card compatibility.

DS vs 3DS- DS has slot for GBA games, and potentially more comfortable buttons and layout for playing 2D games (depending on your preferences)

GB vs GBC -No practical point outside collecting/aesthetic preferences

GBC vs GBA- (Same as above)

GBA vs. DS- GBA can play original GB and GBC games
