I enjoyed the film more than the reviewer but yeah I would have preferred more detail in some areas and the pixel effects were overused (less would've been more there) but on the whole a pretty decent fun film. Give it a watch then return to this: https://youtu.be/_fQtxKmgJC8.
I’m so pleased to be able to play it again without having to unpack the N64 and messing with the retrotink. Finally the other NSO N64 pads can be unboxed!
The music in the full trailer sounds like elements are missing too, hoping it’s a deliberate (yet odd) choice for the media announcing its release. But as that’s two pieces of music with missing instruments I am a little apprehensive.
@Mattock1987 I did have a little fist pump when I saw the news. This was a key N64 title back in the day and can now play with my old college buddies in different cities. Goldeneye 007 next yeah cowards?
And ISS64, Space Station Silicon Valley, Fighters Destiny, 1080, Mystical Ninja, Beetle Adventure Racing, Pilot Wings 64, Snowboard Kids, New Tetris and some Rare classics pleeeease.
@TKundNobody Ooooh, for me I think Blue Storm is the more polished experience but 64 is the better game, I enjoy playing it more at least and I prefer the music and commentary (the original, not the changes made to the Shindu edition). It’s definitely the earlier version but I prefer the rough edges.
@ModdedInkling The ESRB's website doesn't list the NSO libraries (that I can find) but Nintendo's NSO page has the N64 app rated as T.
The content of the app (the games) has already been rated and the as that content hasn't changed the original rating stands but the app has to display the highest rating.
So if Conker is added to the service and then at a later date DKR is added, the launch video for DKR would display the M rating as you can only play it on NSO through the app that contains BFD.
@ModdedInkling The N64 app is rated T, not Majora's Mask itself. The NSO launch videos for Banjo-Kazooie also have the T rating displayed but because it's included in a T rated app. Like a DVD boxset, the rating of the boxset is based the highest rating of an individual film.
The price is more than fair I feel. Back in 1997 when I got my N64 the controllers were £29.99, which is £55 when adjusted for inflation. The new pads are wireless and feature built-in rumble too.
@Switcheroot I'm using 8bitdo Gbros adaptor and having some trouble. The analogue functionality on the triggers is there but some of the other mappings are wonky, Z is a duplicate of clicking R so doesn't bring up the map.

I’d love it if this and The Adventures Of Batman & Robin to the NSO SNES app. Licensing be damned!

Re: Iconic GoldenEye "Gong" Sound Potentially Missing From Switch Online Version
If they are missing it’s emulation rather than an artistic choice. It would be a little disappointing after 25 years.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online Library With Pilotwings 64
@Clyde_Radcliffe I play Goldeneye pretty regularly so there’s nothing to adjust to. I just want the convenience of having it on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online Library With Pilotwings 64
Pilotwings 64 is great. But it's not Goldeneye is it?

Re: Review: Wave Race 64 - A Thrilling Racer That's Still Deeply Impressive
An all time classic! Played through the championship twice already today, a classic game that holds up really really well.
Outside of more Rare stuff, ISS64 or Mystical Ninja would be nice to have next. Or Snowboard Kids. Or Fighters Destiny.

Re: Nintendo Adds N64 Controller Support To 3D All-Stars Version Of Super Mario 64
@Don If you enable ‘south paw’ and map buttons correctly with the in game menus Turok 1 and 2 work perfectly with the N64 pad.
Re: The Switch N64 Controller Doesn't Play Nice With Everything, For Now
@nocdaes Turok and Turok 2 work PERFECTLY once configured (enabling southpaw and mapping buttons within the game options).
Haven’t tried anything else yet.
