All N64 Games #306: Mario Artist Paint Studio

Friday, 01 Nov 2024

As this is the first 64DD game, I’ll talk a little bit about the device itself. It was an add-on to the N64 which would have provided a slot for a new kind of media.

Wednesday, 30 Oct 2024

When Starship Troopers became a big hit, Acclaim wanted to cash in on its success. Instead of trying to work out a licensing deal, they looked at their comic catalogue and realised one of them was a sci-fi marine comic.

Tuesday, 29 Oct 2024

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is a bit of an odd game. It’s sort of a new game, but also isn’t.

Every now and then, a game I would have never expected to like will surprise me, making me very glad that I’m doing these playthroughs.

All N64 Games #300: Top Gear Rally 2

Saturday, 26 Oct 2024

While I’ve spoken about Saffire games before, their earlier N64 games had all been ports, making this their first fully developed N64 game (with their second coming out a week after this).

All N64 Games #299: Puyo Puyo~n Party

Friday, 25 Oct 2024

Also known as Puyo Puyo 4 (I can only guess that the ~n is partly due to Japanese superstitions about the number 4), this brings the core gameplay back to Puyo Puyo 2

Thursday, 24 Oct 2024

While Bomberman Hero was distantly different to Bomberman 64, being developed as a separate project entirely, Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is a direct sequel.

Wednesday, 23 Oct 2024

Like Paperboy, this is another sequel to a classic game that annoyingly just uses the original name – although in this case it’s only outside of Japan, where it was called Space Invaders X.

Tuesday, 22 Oct 2024

All N64 Games #295: NBA Jam 2000

Monday, 21 Oct 2024

Sports games evolved as the N64 got older, with more realistic looking players, better animation, smoother gameplay, and better visual effects. NBA Jam 2000 didn’t get the memo.

Sunday, 20 Oct 2024
