I dunno, HYDRO THUNDER is a better water racer. Wave Race is fine, and the water effects are good for the time, but I feel there are much better N64 racers out there.
@HalBailman The fact the Europe N64 app is getting a mixture of PAL and NTSC N64 games (which the Wii U also did), it's most likely due to the language options. Mario Kart 64's PAL version only had English, so it makes sense to use the NTSC version. Yoshi Story's PAL version supports English, French, and German. So that version is used because there are more langauge options.
The PAL versions of Mario Tennis and Yoshi Story from memory were optimised to use all the lines and run at a similar video. Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 were not optimised well as they use less lines (black boarders) and run slower. Although Mario Kart 64 in NTSC isn't much better when it comes to speed.
Thankfully, just make a USA account and download the N64 App. Problem solved.
@immensechicken 1 - It's a wireless party, not LAN you dolt. 2 - Isabelle (the dog) is going to kick your butt. 3 - You will receive your birthday presents later on. 4 - You are old, birthday boy.
@TheAwesomeBowser If you don't care about getting the S Ranks or Red Coins, then it won't take long to beat.
I'm not a big fan of trying to collect 5 red coins while having to run really fast (which Sega keep bring back...). You do have to explore the levels to locate them.
The S Ranks on the other, are quite difficult to get. It's not just getting to the end quickly. You have to use the Wisps to gain extra points, with a lot of the time having to just use them for the sake of it.
I think the people who say this game is easy haven't played it.
Advance Wars. Imagine an episode where Sonja teaches Andy what an airport is. Kanbie looking for his missing sock. Lash making inventions that go wrong.
Mario Tennis GB. It still amazes me an 8-bit Tennis is fun to play. Having to level up your character is great, and the connection with the N64 version was awesome.

Something about the face and fur seems off. I can't seem to put my finger on it.

Re: Random: Nintendo Direct Announcement Sends Smash Bros. Final DLC Fighter Speculation Into Overdrive
It would be something strange like Ring Fit Adventure or Andy from Advance Wars (it's getting a reboot, so the ammo hasn't run out just let).
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, 23rd September
We need more information on updates for Animal Crossing.
More details on Advance Wars Reboot Camp.

Re: The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Has Been Forced To Shut Down
Not really that much of shock this has happened. Nintendo have all the rights to do this.
At least the team are being mature about the situation.

Re: This Week's New Pokémon Snap Update Also Includes Quality Of Life Improvements
Back in my day, we only had 151 Pokémon and only 6 stages to play on. No fancy updates to expand the game.

What's wrong with putting "we have been wrong with pronouncing the name of this move" in the title? 🤔

Re: Nintendo And Oxford University Want To Know How Animal Crossing Players Are Doing Mentally
Lack of updates. 0/10 game for me. 😜
Re: Nintendo Confirms There's No CPU Or RAM Upgrade In The OLED Switch
If they did do 4K support, then games would have to be patched to take advantage of it. Plus I don't have a 4K TV, so this isn't a lost to me.
Re: Random: The Internet Reacts To The New Switch OLED Model
Why do people care about Bluetooth Audio?
The extra RAM comments are hilarious! It's a games console, not a PC.
Re: Teenager Hits $1.7 Million In Revenue During Pandemic Reselling Pokémon Cards, Game Consoles And More

Re: Metroid Series Tops Wii U eShop's "Best Sellers" List Following Dread Reveal
Shame you can't use your Credit Card on the Wii U now (well in Europe anyway). You have to pay eShop Vouchers instead, which is a pain.
I'm currently going through Advance Wars 1 on the Wii U. Getting ready for the reboot.
Re: Zelda: BOTW Sequel Was The "Most Talked About" E3 2021 Game On Twitter
I was too excited for the Advance Wars reboot to remember what they showed off for BOFW2.
Does Animal Crossing count if it wasn't mentioned at E3?
Re: Shantae Developer WayForward Is Making Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp

Advance Wars 1 has an excellent tutorial campaign to explain what to do. Which the reboot will include.

It had Advance Wars! I am happy!
Re: Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp Reimagines The Classics On Switch
Well son of gun! This came out of nowhere! Advance Wars 1 and 2 are fantastic GBA games, and I can't wait to re-boot into the series.
Now just allow us to save more than 3 Design Maps, and resize the Design Maps.

Re: Yes, Nintendo Really Is Allowing A Game With 'Hentai' In The Title On Switch
Doesn't Hentai mean Pervert in Japanese? So it's "Pervert vs. Evil" basically. No need to get your knickers in a twist Nlife.
But yes, English speakers do claim it means Porn, but that is incorrect.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #84 - Pokémon Snap
The Japanese version uses a smaller box (size of a VHS tape), which totally doesn't look out of place with my other Japanase N64 boxes...
I like the USA one. Great tagline, Eevee is on the box, and all Pokémon are in a good position.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Game Boy Color Game?
Mario Tennis GB. It still amazes me an 8-bit Tennis is fun to play. Having to level up your character is great, and the connection with the N64 version was awesome.

That Switch Lite is as blue as Sonic's quills. Did this really need a topic discussing this? XD
Re: Random: A Switch Owner's So Fed Up With Games Lacking Manuals That They Made Their Own
As much as manuals are cool, let's face it, barely anyone reads them. The Switch games that do come with them, I read once and that's it.
