/vr/ - Retro Games

And MM has amazing lighting as well. The night/evening time is just an amazing array of colors, oranges and indigos and purples. The lighting in N64 games has a sort of basic quality that makes it appealing.

>>1533046
i have always thought that majoras mask looks like ass

Yes, the N64 was good at lighting, but for some reason it always gave me that uncanny valley type feel.

N64 was capable of some really nice visuals, the problem was knowing how to work it out, only a few companies besides of Nintendo and Rare ever did. Most 3rd party games looked like blurried PS1 games, but the N64 could do much better than that.

>>1533056

I kind of like that. Low-resolution 3D is such a compelling art.

>>1533041

Metal Mario always looked so goddamn cool. Some crazy ass coloration there, a sort of gooey texture.

Reminds me of this room. Always seemed so random, I wonder why they made the walls all kooky.

>>1533334
God DAMN I just got a craving to play OoT again, but I don't have a physical copy, a controller that I can use with my PC, and I don't like playing N64 games with my keyboard. What do, /vr/?

>>1533393
Buy a decent controller for emulation, man

You know it's worth it.

>>1533410
I know, anon, but... bills 'n shit... I could probably spare like $10 but I don't think that'll get me anything decent. FML I'm just gonna commit sudoku...

>>1533428
My second webm. Love love love this room.

>>1533041
Pretty sure Mario 64 didn't have any lighting effects. That shiny effects on the crystals is called environmental mapping.

Ocarina of Time had a little bit of a lighting system when it came to Link's character model, and Majora's Mask had a bit more of expanded system. DK64, Banjo Tooie and Conker had closer to what I would call a full proper lighting system.

>>1533472
That room's walls always fucked with me, but that was before I understood transparency/alpha. Imagine trying to make sense of all that without understanding even slightly how they did it. Blew my fucking mind and I didn't even know why.

>>1533480
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stK4h115y70

It has lighting effects, as displayed here, and even shows how different colored light sources reflect off Mario's face.

>>1533493
I forgot about the title screen. I don't think it has them anywhere else though.

>>1533472
>>1533483
That room was ruined in the 3DS version.

>>1533041
oh god i agree with this so much
ESPECIALLY banjo-kazooie

A lot of N64 games, first party in particular aimed for an aesthetic that imitated 1990s CGI because that was the quality they promised before the 64 came out. The trees in Mario 64 and enemies made from spheres (actually sprites) are examples of this.

Donkey Kong 64 also has this aesthetic. For a more comprehensive look at what I mean, find the "Journey into the Mind's Eye" movies on Youtube.

>>1533515
Every Rare game was phenomenal in this respect, even Blast Corps and Diddy Kong Racing, especially on the christmas themed tracks.

>>1533054
I thought it looked really nice, too.

>>1533680

>>1533795
Your stupid God is pictured as a hairy old man, you moron.

>>1533850
Because God created us in his image, idiot.

>>1533853
The point is that even if you are a bible thumping idiot, human beings are hairy since forever.

>>1533060
I'm having a weird flashback. I think i played this game once in a store when i was really young, enjoyed it and didn't buy it. Can anyone give me the title?

>>1533501
>That room was ruined in the 3DS version.
What was it like?

>>1533859
Quest Shitty4.

>>1533859
It's Quest 64 or Holy Magic Century if you're European. It's crap, but it does have a certain charm.

>>1533860
It's just ice.

I really like the colored lighting a lot of N64 games used.
Some games on the Saturn and probably PSX as well also used it to great effect.

>>1533334
What room is that? It looks glitched.

>>1534362

Right when you enter the Sacred Forest Meadow, if you place a bomb in the middle of that square, there's a grotto.

>>1534373
Huh, never been in here before. Looks like temple ruins rather than a grotto.

>>1534414

What's interesting is that the ceiling is actually gray stone....But the walls are a weird shape with psychedelic colors. It's interesting to speculate about what it kind have been. Especially since the Forest Temple is probably a castle, and the ceiling in this grotto is castle-like....Maybe some kind of secret passage under the castle for escape?

I love the lighting on Bowser in the final battle of Mario 64. How does it compare to the DS port? The skyboxes in Mario 64 are really interesting, too.

>>1533795
Evolution and religion are irrelevant to the subject. Humans are modern apes, we're all in the Hominidae family.

>>1534437
Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't there many of those rooms in OoT?

>>1534859

There is no other grotto like that. That is the only room in the game with that type of weird wall.

>emulator screenshots

Super Mario 64 was an awful and unfocused mess, even at the time it came out.

>>1534839
This isn't real lighting. Pretty sure it's just pre-calculated.

Nothing special about n64. I think nostalgia's coloring your perception here.

>>1534916
>>1534959

>>1533041
Yeah Ocarina of Time did a really good job of making all the magic items really LOOK magical. Everything is so glowy and shiny and crystalline.

Of course, it was convenient for the graphic designers to make everything look like a crystal or gem, since you know... polygons.

>>1534343
I always want to taste the fire arrow when I see it like that. Same thing with the shiny rupees or the ones that get shattered in the shooting range.

>>1534984
The Spiritual Stones looked awesome, especially with that magical humming.

>>1534362
OoT had all kinds of crazy glitches.

Like when you're meeting Princess Zelda for the first time, there's a wall you can stand up against and if you turn the camera a certain way, you can see behind the wall and the Triforce is back there.

>>1534839
The final bowser battle in mario 64 always did have that apocalyptic feel. It's weird, after all those stars and you know that bowser is waiting for you. It feels like the final boss battle to end all boss battles.

I agree.

Conker had some really cool graphics.

I dunno I really enjoyed that gen and the one after it as well because they were sort of in that place for graphics where you would naturally meet it half way with imagination and got you more involved. Or maybe it`s just me.

>>1534986

Having a different opinion isn't bait. Super Mario 64 is garbage. It recycles the same 5 objectives (8 red coins, beat boss, etc), it has shitty controls, it's unfocused (Why do you have to catch a rabbit, when it has nothing to do with the game?), it's too easy (You can get stars by talking to Toad), and it has repetitive music.

>>1534986
Not really trying to bait.

I feel like it's pretty obvious. n64 did fine with what they had, but nothing exceptional happened.

Try C4D -
make a very low poly model
use plain, solid color for the materials on your model. maybe bump map, nothing fancy
add some very low resolution textures for your environment
add maybe 1 or two light sources

There you have it. Same "aesthetic", same magical charm if you want to see it.

Not to criticize n64. It's not like they were dropping the ball. They worked within their limitations just fine, but no better than anyone else. No more magical. Unless you include your nostalgia.

>>1535015

>>1535015
If you know of a platformer made in 2014 that has a better moveset than mario 64 I would love for you to post a video of it, not mad but I'd love to see some fact back up your opinion.

Mario's acrobatics combined with the digital stick on the N64 controller make for some really tight platforming and he can flip through the air and stop on a dime. You show me a 3d platformer that does that nowadays.

>>1535015
We're talking about aesthetics, not gameplay, bait-chan. You are sure on a hair trigger these days.

>>1535051

Banjo Kazooie has a better moveset.

Even Crash Bandicoot has a better moveset.

>>1535065

I totally disagree. The moveset in Banjo may look interesting on paper, but actually playing it is another story. It hardly feels like there's much physics at all, you feel very weighed down by gravity.. There is no real finesse in Banjo's movement, whereas in Mario 64 you can zip and jump around walls and levels.

>>1535065
>Banjo Kazooie has a better moveset.

Click Clock Wood says otherwise.

>Even Crash Bandicoot has a better moveset

Run, Jump, Spin in 3D LINEAR levels. So dynamic.

Can someone tell me, why the fuck was Banjo there anyway? Kazooie is fast as fuck, flies, shoots eggs and attacks with the beak. What the fuck does Banjo do? Kazooie is hampered carrying around his fat ass. Kazooie should just do it herself.

What's interesting about the walls is that there's actually layers, you can see it go back pretty far.

I always found that this place had a great aesthetic, and the music didn't hurt at all.

>>1535118
I was really excited to see what this room looked like in the 3DS version. Imagine my anger and disappointment when it was turned into this >>1533865.

>>1533472
I don't know anything about OOT's texturing system, but seeing this done in a Doom map (and then looking at it in an editor) really made me marvel at the simplicity of it.

Either way, anytime I see layered texturing like this, it blows my mind and makes me cum buckets.

>>1534839
that's not lighting. He's just coloured funny.

If it was supposed to be lighting, nintendo failed miserably there. I always thought that through kicking his ass so many times, bower ended up looking deformed for the final battle.

>>1535049
the gamecube wasn't even capable of bump mapping...

>>1533865
That's lame...

>>1535118
It's a neat effect, and it does a good job of making the room like a lot bigger than it actually is.

>>1534990
Haha, I was just thinking it looks like some kind of delicious candy. It looks like either orange, or honey.

>>1535147
Link to Doom map please?

>>1535156
I always assumed Bowser had powered himself up, and was glowing with star power. Until this thread it never even occurred to me that he's supposed to be reflecting light.

>>1535118
The Ice Cavern + Water room in Ganon's Castle are just the cut remnants of the Ice Temple. That room with the Iron Boots just screams "unfinished boss room" to me. Especially in the debug version's unused scene set up where the door uses a placeholder wooden door.

>>1535174
>the doom map
There's one wall on a single map of unloved that has a weird clown face on it. It's a tiny tiny detail, but pretty cool...

>http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/48690-release-1-3-unloved-gzdoom-mapset/

Lemme dig around for a minute and I'll see if I can't find it and I'll post a screen.

I always loved the background in Mario 64. They're so atmospheric and feel so expansive. The Wet Dry World one is amazing.

>>1535198

I think it's cool that, instead of just cutting the dungeon out completely they made it into a cool mini dungeon.

>>1535198
>That room with the Iron Boots just screams "unfinished boss room" to me
Now that you mention it, don't you fight a wolfos before getting the iron boots?

Maybe that wolfos was originally just a placeholder for the actual boss.

>>1535223

Love this one a lot.

>>1535209
ok, here's the pic.

it's on map05:lost childhood, but don't expect it to simply be the "5th map" or whatever -- unloved is a non-linear hubmap based mod, and you visit map05 quite a bit.

It's really not too over the top awesome since it's so small, but the way they pulled it off illustrates how the technique works:
basically they have like 5 or so linedefs going back from that wall each with a copy of that texture on it like so ||||| so that as you move before the image, it seems to parallax slightly and gives it the appearance of one of those old 90s hologram cards or whatever.

>>1535234
Entirely possible, since Stalfos' were used extensively as placeholder enemies, mini bosses, and actual bosses, and Wolfos' use the same AI as Stalfos'

>>1535230
why not reuse it? you already paid people for how many ever hours it took to make it...why not use it an recoup your money?

>>1533865
To be honest, I like the bottom one better imo.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the cool effect on the orginal's wall textures, but I wished it was utilized in a room with a better design.

>>1535252
imagine if they'd used the original texture to fill the blackness behind the ice. THAT would have been best in my book

Holy shit I just noticed there are crosses on the walls. Forest Temple is so cool.

>>1535262
I'm guessing those are arrow slits, though they seem to be too low.

I actually don't think Banjo Kazooie looks that good. The color scheme is so drab in my opinion. It feels almost like a revisit to DKC2's grimy themes yet it doesn't look great in BK.

>>1535262
>>1535276
Those two outside rooms of the Forest Temple with the well you have to drian is recycled from an older version of Hyrule Castle.

>>1535262
The FT has got to be one of the most interesting places in the game for me. Hell, maybe for Zelda in general.. It's got this interesting atmosphere that intrigues, yet creeps you out at the same time.

>>1535268
not to sound like a queer or nothing, but
fuck rare's platformers. they're all basically banjo kazooie with different assets and they all play like that poor white trash kid's version of super mario 64.

>>1535279
>recycled from an older version of Hyrule Castle

During development, or the series lore?

>>1535223
>>1535236
the N64 skyboxes creeped the fuck out of me as a kid, especially the ones in banjo kazooie

they felt so gigantic and, voidful

>>1535287
During development. Originally, you were supposed to go inside Hyrule Castle, and find the Master Sword in there. You would have also fought Darknuts. They scrapped actually entering the castle though, and turned the outside rooms into part of the Forest Temple.

The well was originally how you were supposed to escape from Hyrule Castle after meeting Zelda.

>>1535283
That is a pretty gay opinion, mang

>>1533041
A current time period always has it's light reference character. The late 80's - mid 90's used a lot of shadowing and profiled light to spot and create atmosphere. This is very easy to see in movies or commercials, but it also showed in f.ex. games. So SNES/N64/GameCube-era games had a more intense, living, directing and compact feel to them, much because of light and color use

>>1535249
It's also worth noting that they reuse a lot of cut content and ideas in later games.

>>1535293
Stuff like this is why I love this board.

>>1535156
it's supposed to be a lighting effect but the fact that Mario is really bright with the normal shading and colouring kind of throws off the whole scene.

>>1534839
>>1534919
>>1535007
>>1535156
>>1535179

What if it's not really Bowser, but Gay Bowser? Hence, SO LONG, GAY BOWSER?

>>1533519
Oh shit, there are enemies that look exactly like that in Ys on the Ps Vita

>>1533393
make your keybindings as comfy as possible and play.

>>1533041
As addicted as I get to the newest Animal Crossing games that get released nothing will ever beat the low res textures of the GC version for me. I wish we got the 64 version here, I bet it was even better for that sort of feel.

>>1536073
Also this is another reason I wish Mother 3 actually came out during the 64 days.

>>1535161
>the gamecube wasn't even capable of bump mapping...
It was actually. Rogue Squadron son.

Even Dreamcast could do bump mapping. I don't know if its impossible that N64 could have used bump mapping if somebody tried, but nobody ever did.

>>1535161
>the gamecube wasn't even capable of bump mapping...

Resident Evil 4 proves you wrong.

>>1533041
>I think the Nintendo 64 had really interesting aesthetics, especially as lighting is concerned.

Low poly gouraud shading, single-color polys, and colorful lighting have a certain charm.

To this day, I prefer the magic of colored Christmas lights because of the N64's lighting. It may look gaudy, but it fills me up inside.

>>1533865

3ds is superior jesus christ look at the repetition in the top screenshot, fucking same tile copy paste

I love Paper Mario's look. Shooting Star Summit is one of the most beautiful areas in video games in my opinion.

Quest 64 looked so good.

>>1536580
I thought it looked decent as well. Too bad the gameplay was poorly executed.

>>1533087

Jolly Roger Bay is one of the coolest levels in the game. It has a really cool, foggy ambiance that sets it apart. It's so calming.

>>1535283

More like the rich kids version. Mario 64 was more easily available since it came with the system

The poor kids version is spyro and crash

>>1535289

>voidful

Full of void? Does that even make sense

>>1536818
>Mario 64 was more easily available since it came with the system

Regardless, sm64 was still cheaper than rares games

>>1536818
>The poor kids version is spyro and crash
Not really. For me, I hold both of them up there with SM64 as pretty good games.

Also, we don't need any consolewar faggotry abrewing here.

>>1536884
We don't need misuse of spoiler tags either.

I've always been fascinated by the shadow temple. rather doom-esque. The floors and walls are lined with skulls.

>>1536906
Over 12 hours later, do you want me to lay some early development facts down on the Shadow Temple?

>>1536910
Not the one who posted the pic, but go ahead I'm reading.

>>1533519
Those Beyond the Mind's Eye videos from the 90s were amazing, and still are

On topic:
Glover, Silicon Valley and Tonic Trouble also got it right visually; The N64 had several great cartoony platformer games as a result of Mario 64's success

>>1536919
Out of all the temples that ended up in OoT, the Shadow Temple was started pretty early. The first was Dodongo's Cavern, but Shadow Temple was probably either second, or third, judging by the earliest screenshots. Speaking of which, you're gonna find this room later, but updated a bit to have invisible walls you need the Lens of Truth for.

>>1536910
Yes please anon.

>>1536924
Goddamn I've never seen that screenshot before, dat Wallmaster.

>>1536924
Makes sense I guess, it seems like a dungeon from Zelda 1 made in 3D.

>>1536934
Most of the super early screenshots are from the first dungeon of Zelda 1 remade in Ocarina of Time's engine, but with a few extra rooms where they just exclusively tinkered with what they could do on new hardware. Wallmaster room was one of them, along with the two Stalfos rooms from the Debug ROM. Wallmaster room was used to test the camera in narrow hallways/rooms, the Stalfos Mini-boss room was to test simulated lighting (which was scrapped), and the Boss Stalfos room was used to test dark rooms.

>>1533393
Get a wii and classic controller and hack it.

>>1533428
i've never thought about it, but god damn that is gorgeous considering when the game was released

>>1535123
Majora's Mask had some great looking rooms in it too, the observatory and final boss room always stood out to me. I always loved the aesthetics of those rooms

>>1536945
Where do you get all this info?

>>1537103
TCRF, Unseen 64, Iwata Asks interviews, ZSO site archives, ASSEMBLER forums, etc.

I've been a part of Zelda 64 beta documentation since I was 13.

>>1536945
I've not thought about it before, but besides playing them, imagine having to design, create and code a 3D game for the first time. There's so many million more elements you'd never have had to think about before such as the camera angles.
I'm always up for facts about games though, it may just be me but it seems Nintendo games are always some of the most interesting when it comes to beta content and development processes.

>>1537114
The jump from SNES to N64 was huge and required a lot of adaptations.
I don't think that modern Nintendo would be able to make something as incredible as OoT in 1998 or SM64 in 1996

>>1537112
Oh, cool. By the way, was it true that the very early build of the engine had camera controls similar to that of SM64 since it was built off of said game, along with few other elements (like jumping).

>>1537130
There were camera controls, but if there was jumping, it was cut really early. The earliest screenshots released showed that the A and B buttons were already being used by things that weren't jumping. A was your sword, and B was a big C-button for items (that your shield also went on). That only lasted for a few months because the camera was really frustrating to use, so they changed the controls to having the C-buttons equip items, C-Up being first person view, and Z would refocus the camera in front of you + lock on.

Ocarina of Time runs on Super Mario 64's engine, so you can imagine how shitty that camera was.

>>1533472
It's too bad you can't see the link on the equip screen on the emulator.

>>1537123
Maybe not as visually shocking ever, but while its contested for its linearity I think Mario Galaxy 2 easily stands up to the same level. It gives me the exact same feeling I had as a kid which isn't something games do often now.

>>1537145
>>1537130
Some of the earliest screenshots even make it look like Mario 64, the colours are so bright you could swap Mario in and nothing would look out of place.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who adores the N64 aesthetic.

Majora's Mask seriously just has some amazing shit in it from a design standpoint. I desperately wish more games would be done with low-res polygon models at least.

>>1537217
Sorry, meant low-poly.

But anyway.

>>1537217
>>1537220
There's many reasons Majora's Mask looks good, but it's not because the graphics are low poly, that's just a limitation they had to work with.

>>1537217
>I desperately wish more games would be done with low-res polygon models at least.
I know nothing about coding or creating games, but if Goldeneye could be made by a team of 10 people eight of whom had never created a game before, then surely someone group could come along and start making games with the same aesthetics. 2D and 8-bit games had a resurgence that won't quit, it'd be nice to see some early 3D style again. I think people get low-poly and unpolished confused.

And to bring back the skyboxes, a still image doesn't quite convey it but I love Star Fox 64s Andross battle room. It's not detailed but the scale of the place just seems neverending, a nice effect I always found

>>1537149
Makes sense, OoT was made on a modified SM64 engine. Similar and/or the same textures would be available very early on.

>>1535123
I haven't played Majora's Mask and that's one of my favorite songs ever.

>>1537570
>I haven't played Majora's Mask
What the hell are you waiting for, son?

>>1537386
It's true, the art design is top notch.

But the low poly adds to it I think. It's the idea in illustration that you can just hint at form and people will fill in the rest, usually doing so better than the original artist could have ever pulled off.

>>1536554
I agree. I can't remember what it's called but the area in the sky is really cool too. With the trees that sparkle when you shake them

I remember one of the little stars saying that the area was much more beautiful when the star rod was there. I always thought that at the end of the game after you beat Bowser the place is really beautiful but you just can't see it. I always wanted to find some cheat to get there or something.

>>1534839
dat final battle music.

>>1537601
A N64 emulator that isn't complete horseshit.

>>1538175
N64 emulators, for the most part, were built directly around Super Mario 64, and by extension, Zelda Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask

>>1538175
Play it on the Wii, it runs perfectly, all VC games do.

>>1536291
>>1536298
RE Zero, REmake, and Soul Calibur 2 also use it, as well as many other games, I'm sure.

I think most of you are letting Nostaligia cloud your brain when it comes to stuff like this. I like low poly models, but not what was on the n64. Modeling was so primitive back then, and I guess that's why it has a certain charm. That's also why I like early gamecube graphics- the early stuff looked like 90s CGI.

But yeah, the only reason I like it is for "historical" reasons. It's like Web 1.0.

The only n64 games that truly have good models are Animal Forest and Conker. (That's just at the top of my head though)

>>1538767
Neon Genesis Evangelion

>>1538767
I think a lot of the models made for MM (rather than reused from OoT) are pretty damn great.

Also: Rocket: Robot on Wheels

>>1533087

It's a sphere-mapping effect. The texture is a low-res photo of a mirror-ball.

>>1538835

>>1538767

I don't agree about nostalgia. I genuinely find low-res 3D interesting, it seems to expand the imagination and have a sense of mystery. I think there are instances of just really great, astounding imagery, such as Metal Mario's sheen, the autumn forest in Kirby 64, the observatory in MM, etc. I don't like crying nostalgia at the first sign of praise for older games. I don't think aesthetics get better due to better technology. Games can look clearly and more hi-res but not necessarily better.

And I honestly do like Mario's model in 64 the best, because he's kind of adorable and cool. I don't like the smirk he developed in later years.

>>1533421
>commit sudoku

Fun fact, until the release of the Voodoo 1, no PC graphics card could do the metal mario reflective map effect.

>>1535147
How is it done?

>>1533087
Every time I see some reflective texture like that, I want to see a texture rip of it so I can so what the fuck is in the reflection.

I know in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Metal power-up texture is a reflection of the Yoshi's Island stage, but I don't know what Metal Mario's is in SM64

>>1535156
Really? I always thought he looked cool in his final battle. It helped that the music was great too.

Pic related, an NPC I did.

Banjo took the hits and carried all those jiggies and stuff around.

>>1535343
Any examples you can provide? I'm having difficulty visualizing what you mean.

>>1536073
I dunno, from what I've seen, the N64 game is pretty much identical. As far as I'm aware, they even used the same models and such between the games.

>>1536080
I feel we got a more polished product in the end, so it's okay in my book.

>>1537145
Shitty in the sense that it was going to be used for a game with cramped spaces maybe. SM64 has an amazing camera, especially for all that it needs to do.

>>1538546
Alternatively, you should be able to pirate it or a wad-injection easily too.

That's not the texture from SM64 though.

>>1538927
I dig it.

>>1538976
Thank you. I also really like the early 3D aesthetics so I keep the polycount of the NPCs under 300. It's even lower than the average for NPCs in toot-toot and MM. The only thing high-res about the game are the texture atlases.

>>1533062
Is that Mystical Ninja?

>>1533428

>>1539008
It's something Goemon at least.

>>1538936
>carried all those jiggies

Kazooie eats them.

>>1533056
>>1533070
I agree with both of these. I fucking love early 3D.

>>1538175
Works fine on PJ64

>>1539008
Festival Temple Castle from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

That dungeon was fucking crazy

>>1539045
And poops them into the bag afterwards.

How did it compensate for not being able render it? Did it just use a flat texture on Mario's model or what?

>>1533087
This thread reminded me that Earthbound Central discovered that the shiny textures for the trophies in Super Smash Brothers Melee for Gamecube had a promotional picture for the n64 version of Mother 3 used for their reflection. I would have killed to see that in n64 graphics. Although, maybe it was for the best.

I meant to quote this guy too:

And here's a link with some proof:

I mean the games past the gamecube one, but then I realized it wasn't /vr/ so I sort of namedropped the 64 one. I hoenstly wish I could have played it though.

>>1538945
I agree but it will always be one of those "What could have been?" situations. Imagine if one day someone found a Mother 3 Beta.

>>1536924
That looks more like the Forest Temple, in my opinion. The puzzle area where you have to push the boulders around

>>1544291

It looks like either the Bottom of the Well, or the room near the end of the Shadow Temple where you need to use the Lens to see the walls and also has several Floormasters.

>>1533062
Acclaim put out some great looking games on N64 too.

The only reason I use savestates is for boss rushes.

>>1539008
Looks like the first N64 Goemon game

>>1544462

Midway too, there is in fact quite a lot of arcade ports exclusive to the N64 that run very well and have nothing to envy the arcade versions.

The thing is that it required a lot of work on the devs parts.

Probably the absolute wizards of N64 hardware are the german Factor 5, they did the Resident Evil 2 port (which is better than the PS1 version, even on audio), or The Infernal Machine, which is better than the PC version too.

>>1533421
if you have any good regular controllers, there are a few decent USB adapters on amazon that aren't too expensive. I had a particular psx/ps2 adapter that worked really well and was only like 2 dollars.

Thread about N64 grafix and nobody mentioned Evangelion yet?

There weren't any N64 emulators in 1996.

>>1544482
Other than the Cruis'n USA, Cruis'n Exotica,, California Speed, Off-Road Challenge, Wayne Gretzgy's 3D Hockey, and Mace: The Dark Age, I don't know of many more exclusive arcade ports from Midway.

Mystical Ninja = Goemon

Speaking of Blast Corps, the chromed metal surface of Thunderfist looks so good

>>1538965
That's not alternatively, that's the same thing.
