/vr/ - Retro Games

maro

it probably would have wii and wii u's vc titles plus something "special" (like f-zero x DD or Animal Forest).
Really doubt it would have something like other rare games besides DK64, Extreme-G, RE2, Doom 64, Turok, Duke64 and ZH, Pilotwings 64, the star wars games, Aki's Wrestling titles or other titles.

>>6452867
Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Star Fox 64, Mario Party 2, F-Zero X, and while they're at it maybe redesign the controller for humans?

>>6452915
This plus Superman64.

I'd settle for just like 10 Nintendo games if all the games have remastered polygons for HD. Otherwise you'd just get a whole bunch of ugly ass fucking games.

You know all the reasonable answers, OP. So I'm gonna shoot for something specific.

I want the joystick to be resistant to overuse, and be smooth to the inner palm. That way, they can feel safe releasing it with Mario Party 1.

>>6454252
Why not just release Mario Party 2 with it instead?

Goemon

>>6454252
>>6454337
iirc they never re-released the first Mario Party on Virtual Console, which supported the Classic and Gamecube controllers on the Wii, so I doubt they'd ever do it. One of the things that could spice up an N64 Mini would definitely be Ocarina of Time Master Quest.

>>6452924
It would a million times better than the PlayStation mini, that's for sure.

>No games by Rare aside from DK64
>No licensed games
>Most of the 3rd party games unlikely
If they ever decide to make one, the library will be really small, that takes out like most of the games worth playing on the system. NES Classic had 30 games, SNES Classic had 20, so I wouldn't be surprised if an N64 Mini only has 10 at the most

>>6452867
no point in making it if it doesn’t have perfect dark and the world is not enough

great list, but I think it'd differ between Japan and the west.
Yoshi's Story is well liked in Japan, but not so much in the west. I could see it being included on the japanese version but not in the western one, and instead maybe add something westerners actually like, for example one of the Star Wars games, or Beetle Adventure Racing.

>>6455154
>WWF
Will never, ever happen.

If it ever was made it would be crippled by the fact there couldn’t be any Rare games on it. Other than Nintendo, they were the only company to put out half-decent titles semi-consistently. It’s not like the N64 has a huge library of great games anyway. An N64 mini would fucking suck. Be careful what you wish for.

20 games is more or less the amount of games NES and SNES minis gad, as well as Playstation mini.
NES and SNES mini consoles had third party stuff, so maybe there's a chance for things like Bomberman 64 or Goemon, but I somehow doubt they'll do that for N64, since most people seem to only care for the really famous 1st party titles, and that's just easy for Nintendo since it means less licensing fees and more profit.
Sin and Punishment would also be awesome, and they did give it a lot of attention due to its Wii VC release selling well, but I dunno, I also wouldn't count on it.

>>6452867
None, actually

>>6454570
This. It shocked the shit outta me they were even smart enough to finish Star Fox 2 and release it on the SNESmini. That was literally the only inherent value in that console, after a thoroughly uninteresting NESmini launch. You can tell they have no idea why this shit is working, and considering the other BIG DEAL (official Nintendo manual scans- in English and Jap- from the vaults) can be snatched online for free whether you pay up or not, I'm equally puzzled.

>>6455830
I mean, from the perspective of actual /vr/ hobbyists, mini consoles are worthless outside of the USB pads. They're emu boxes.
They're aimed at other kind of people, not us.

>>6452867

>>6455840
If "all" includes japanese games translated, then yes, please.

>>6455815
Bomberman 64 is probably the only reason I never sold that hunk of junk. I rarely played my N64 except for Bomberman, I should have gotten a Saturn.

>>6455884
>N64 fanbois only care about 1st party stuff, good try at deflecting with console wars, though.
They care about whatever games are exclusive to the system, nice try at damage controlling for your favourite console's fanbase.

>CV64 wasn't panned. It got mostly 7s and 8s in reviews.
A 7 is bad in professional reviewer ratings, idiot.

>>6455893
Not allowed because of Conker and Banjo.

>>6455884
I remember buying this despite the bad reviews and my friends saying it was really bad when I was like 12. I dropped it like the hot garbage it is. It's not a good game by Castlevania standards, that's why it's forgotten to everybody but revionists or those who may have enjoyed it back in the day. But, don't act like it was hailed as a great game, it wasn't and still isn't.

>>6455907
>don't act like it was hailed as a great game,
Nobody claimed that, though.
The original post was simply a claim that CV64 is not as bad as Superman 64 or Daikatana, which is absolutely true.
>bad reviews
Go read reviews of the game when it came out. They're mostly considered positive with some mixed ones, not really bad reviews. The revisionism is from claiming the game was panned. Most likely zoomers who still think AVGN is a real reviewer and not a comedy act.

>>6455895
>They care about whatever games are exclusive to the system, nice try at damage controlling for your favourite console's fanbase.
That seems more like projection on your part than anything else, though. N64 fanboys don't give a shit about exclusives like, for example, Lode Runner 3D (which is pretty good!)
>A 7 is bad in professional reviewer ratings, idiot.
Even if it was, it stil got plenty of 8s. "Panned" is a 4 or lower. Revisionist.

>>6455896
Wrong, It came out on the DS.

>>6455896
Banjo is in the new Smash though, and Microsoft seem to be buddies with Nintendo, sorta.

>>6455938
With Banjo and Conker removed.

>>6455940
Which they could easily do if they wanted to re-release the N64 version.

>>6455921
I did, it was mediocre. It will always be mediocre. Stop spurting over a subpar game. Saying it's better than daikatana or Superman 64, is basically saying it's not good but it's better than eating shit for brunch.

>>6455951
>Thinking they can just remove two entire characters from an N64 ROM on a whim

>>6455970
If the game was considered "Mediocre", then it was panned. Learn what mediocre means.
Also I'm not spurting over anything, I'm not here to defend CV64, I'm here to call out zoomers who come to /vr/ and try to revise history.

>>6455984
Learn to shut the fuck up when you're wrong. You can beat a dead horse, but it's still gonna be dead, shitstain.

>>6455990

>>6455830

>>6455973

>>6455998
It was bad when I was a kid and it's bad now. Go reread my post, I specifically indicated that some people may have enjoyed it, but did most people? No, no they didn't. Quick babbling about things you know you're wrong about. It's people like you that make /vr/ shit.

>>6455929
>N64 fanboys don't give a shit about exclusives
You're seriously going to argue N64fags don't care about, say, Goldeneye or the Star Wars games?
Delusional lad.

>"Panned" is a 4 or lower. Revisionist.
Practically no big name game ever gets a 4 by sponsored reviewers.
Cope harder, CV64 apologist.

>>6456010
Anecdotal evidence is irrelevant, we're talking about actual reception from official reviews, the ones listed in places such as wikipedia. The game mostly got positive reviews, and there's little history revisionism can do about it.
If you ask me, I didn't like the game much, although I liked the music and I think it achieved some nice atmosphere, and has more platforming than any of the other 3D castlevanias ever had, so there's that.
Still I wouldn't give it more than a 6 maybe, but I wasn't a video game reviewer in the 90s, so whatever.

>>6456012
You seem way too invested in console wars. Also Star Wars games weren't exclusive to the N64, do you even know about the stuff you're talking about, lad?
>Practically no big name game ever gets a 4 by sponsored reviewers.
Then what's the point if arguing this? You claimed the game was panned at release, it was not. Either because the game wasn't as hated as you claim it was, or because sponsored reviews don't pan big name games, the outcome is that the game wasn't panned (and it actually received, oh my, positive reviews!).
Again, I'm not here to defend CV64, I'm here to call out revisionists like yourself.

>>6456008
Replace them with what? Are they going to make the models, animate them, change all text references, etc. for an ancient N64 ROM? Fuck no. Too much cost for too little payoff.

The DS version is NOT the N64 game. It was remade as an all-new game from the ground up, which is how they were able to replace Microsoft's owned characters without hassle.

>>6456016
There was reviews and your friends telling you about games, maybe randoms in a store you talked to. For the most part it was not critically acclaimed. I agree I'd give it a six. I think it's better now than I did as a kid, cause I was a child. Even that is revisionism, though. When it first came out it had mediocre to bad reviews, fuck Wikipedia they don't have all the different sources posted, its not the end all be all. I'll admit I was influenced by my circle of friends, but even in the early 2000s it was laughed at, by everybody, but those select few who actually enjoyed it. Compared to even super Castlevania 4, it's not a good Castlevania game. Where as sm64 is will always be just as good or better (to those that were there at the time) as smw. You're the revionist. Don't quote Wikipedia.

>>6456037
>Compared to even super Castlevania 4, it's not a good Castlevania game
lol, what are you going to say next, that Castlevania 4 was panned at release, too?
>Wikipedia they don't have all the different sources posted
They have a bunch of 90s publications though.
If you have actual bad reviews for CV64 from the 90s, bring them on, let's see them. Until then, you're not better than Wikiepdia.

I'll never understand people that are wrong but they won't accept it. Shit, this is an anonymous board too, it's not like you have to live with the shame forever, just stop replying and act like nothing happened.

>>6456027
Fanjo and Bonker, make them a different colour and bingo!

>>6456023
>Also Star Wars games weren't exclusive to the N64, do you even know about the stuff you're talking about, lad?
Console and/or timed exclusives, they were.

>Then what's the point if arguing this? You claimed the game was panned at release, it was not. Either because the game wasn't as hated as you claim it was, or because sponsored reviews don't pan big name games, the outcome is that the game wasn't panned (and it actually received, oh my, positive reviews!). Again, I'm not here to defend CV64, I'm here to call out revisionists like yourself.
And I'm saying a 7 and 8 for a Castlevania game isn't anything to brag about. Also going only by the numbers is dumb, you need to point out what they specifically said about gameplay, level design, enemy designs, etc. and whether their analysis was positive or negative, also how much they played and how far they got into the game. And finally, you're the one who brought up professional reviewers to back up your autistic crusade against "revisionism", however gamers in general disliked CV64. Just because corporate reviewers side with (You) doesn't mean your opinion is right, it just means you're a faggot.

>>6452883
It wont have Rare games because they are no longer owned by Nintendo. It is unlikely - but not impossible - to have any other big n64 3rd party games either.

My list:
mario 64
zelda Ocarina
Zelda Majora
Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64)
Mario Party - ideally all three but if only one then MP3
Paper Mario
Pokemon Stadium (ideally both but if only one, then #2 - with minigames from #1)
Mario Tennis
F Zero X
F Zero X : DD Expansion Kit (this would be intriguing a good selling point / discussion point)
Mario Kart 64
Rogue Squadron (if Lucas Arts are willing)
Super Smash Bros.
DK 64 (Rareware game but a Nintendo IP; probably it would fly; DK Country was on the SNES mini)
Kirby 64
Pokemon Snap

maybe a couple of other games that are hard to find but still available for Nintendo to release. I cant think offhand. But certainly Paper Mario (hard to get) and F Zero DD (hard to get) would be interesting and unique selling points - these are rare and expensive , yet highly rated, N64 titles.

I think the controller might prove a sticking point to this ever getting released, though. To replicate the N64 pad, but make it better -? It is unclear if that is feasible in a cost-effective way. Also, would it be online, or would it have 4 controller ports? It was easy enough to bundle NES, SNES and Mega Drive minis with 2 pads, but could you bundle an N64 mini with 4 pads? And if not, would anybody actually buy extra pads for this thing? Do most people even play their SNES Mini, or is it just basically an ornament? (Everyone i know who bought a mini console basically had it as an ornament / talking point and didnt actually play it.)

My two cents.

>>6456051
It was a mix of reviews and people around you. You're obviously a zoomer, because you don't understand how things spread by word of mouth. The internet was not as predominant back then. It was a small part of things. We used to read magazines in Safeway as our parents shopped, and then if you didn't have a game but somebody else did, they told you about it and maybe you'd go to there house and play the game for yourself. But, even then game reviews were bias, and they always will be, especially in retrospect. The 90's were the end of listening to mass media production, but if a game was bad, it was bad. There's no reviews that would change the minds of actual gamers and word of mouth. You fuckin zoomers will never understand how organic things were before social media.

>>6456063
>Console and/or timed exclusives, they were.
Oh, OK. Moving the goalposts, but OK.
Still I don't think N64 fanboys really care much about Star Wars games, Star Wars fans care about them.
>And I'm saying a 7 and 8 for a Castlevania game isn't anything to brag about
Go read your original claim, you said it had bad reviews. I never claimed CV64 was considered GOTY or anything of the sort.
>however gamers in general disliked CV64
There's no way to measure this, and somehow I don't believe you have memories of 1999.
>ust because corporate reviewers side with (You)
I said I'd give it a 6, so they don't side with me. I'm just referring to official reviews because that's what is archived. In general, I'd said the reception, from what I remember, was lukewarm, but it wasn't hated, or panned. I'm actually surprised it got so many 8s, I don't think it's that good of a game to warrant an 8, but I guess it's true that they were sponsored and all that, or maybe they appreciated a game like this in an era where 3D action adventure games weren't too common.

>>6456073
Nah, not a zoomer. I'm just going to quote myself again though: Anecdotal evidence is irrelevant.
Just 2 more points:
-I'm not saying CV64 is great, I'd give it a 6, I think you agreed with me there.
-claiming CV64 was "panned" or hated is just a lie.

>>6456079
>Still I don't think N64 fanboys really care much about Star Wars games, Star Wars fans care about them.
Everybody I knew loved pod racing, but it was hit or miss with people who enjoyed the movie, which episode one was fucking huge. Taco bell had toy lids for cups, everything about Hollywood big budget movies was different back then. Your zoomerness is in full force right now.

>>6456081
>-claiming CV64 was "panned" or hated is just a lie.
Compared to other Castlevania games it is. Show me one other entry in the franchise that gets as much (non-contrarian) flak as 64.

To get an accurate idea of what Nintendo would add, take a look at their Virtual Console offerings. I doubt we'd see any Pokemon Stadium game since there's a lack of Game Boy connectivity, I doubt we'd see Smash Bros., I doubt we'd see any DD expansion, probably only Ocarina or Majora's Mask but not both and a deluge of dreaded Mario Sports games in lieu of more favorable titles. I think it'd be a huge dud of a mini by far, barely beating out the PS1 mini in terms of quality or lack thereof.

>>6456081
>-I'm not saying CV64 is great, I'd give it a 6, I think you agreed with me there.
Re read my post, that's my own revionism of replaying the game as an adult.
>claiming CV64 was "panned" or hated is just a lie
I said it was bad, people didn't say they hated it, they said it sucked or it was not good. Youre either a sooner or a sheltered autist.

>>6456094
Zoomer*, fuck phoneposting, but I'm not at home, atm. You're really getting on my nerves, though.

>>6456090
We're ruling out the shitty PC ports of Castlevania 1, right?
Well then, The Adventure on Game Boy received mixed reviews, so there you go.
And this is keeping it retro-only.

>>6456079
>I don't think N64 fanboys really care much about Star Wars games, Star Wars fans care about them.

shadows of the empire was a big selling point for the N64 in its first year, and Rogue Squadron was the best console Star Wars game of the pre-millennium era.
Also I believe (but could be wrong) that Lucas Arts and certainly Factor 5 have quite a good relationship with Nintendo. Rogue Squadron 2 was a big launch title for gamecube and it + RS3 were among the best looking games of 6th gen on any console.

Of all the 3rd party releases, SOTE and RS (and Episode I Racer) would be among the most well received, and among the most likely.
I might be wrong, but thats how I see it.

>>6456104
Nintendo would have to go through LucasArts' new gods at Disney.

>>6456102
lool easy man, this is nothing to really get mad about.
Maybe I overreacted too, I'm tired of people claiming certain games were hated at release when they were ignored at most, I think that's the case with CV64, it just didn't generate much fuzz. It was supposed to be the gran entrance to CV64 to 3D, and it just didn't live up to the hype, but it wasn't panned or received abysmal reviews. Maybe it's just the kind of words you guys used that got me thinking you're trying to revise history. Semantics and shit.

>>6456091
This unfortunately, is probably close to the truth.
Mario 64 and Zelda OOT/MM have recently seen re-releases on 3DS; You are probably right about Pokemon Stadium ; Smash 64 would just look really sluggish compared to recent SSB games ; and 64DD titles probably remain too niche to really cajole Nintendo into doing it.

If N64 Mini happens at all Nintendo will play it straight down the line and give you a boring, predictable line up, probably fuck up the analog stick, and basically "do a PS1 mini", which was basically a huge missed opportunity (as far as these things go).

>>6456109
True but these guys seem to just want to sell ANYTHING and slap "Star Wars" on it.
I mean they just released 3 of the literal worst movies of all time. They dont appear to have any "integrity"

>>6456114
Yeah, maybe, but In my city it was universally hated, except for a few people. I'm drunk it's memorial day weekend and whatever. I'm just trying to entertain myself while dealing with the first holiday where people can mingle during corona. I don't hate the game, but my first memories of it were bad.

>>6456117
They also want to bury all trace of the old pre-buyout SW material so as to push the new Disney-approved stuff.

>>6456125
Very true.

Episode I Racer it is, then.
If we're lucky.

>Still I don't think N64 fanboys really care much about Star Wars games, Star Wars fans care about them.
What makes you think so? Just because the 3rd-party games didn't sell as much as the Nintendo IPs? Nonsense.

>Go read your original claim, you said it had bad reviews.
No it didn't. Look again: >>6455876

>There's no way to measure this, and somehow I don't believe you have memories of 1999.
Ironic coming from the guy who has to autistically check review scores to make sure his memories (or lack thereof) are correct...

>I said I'd give it a 6, so they don't side with me. I'm just referring to official reviews because that's what is archived. In general, I'd said the reception, from what I remember, was lukewarm, but it wasn't hated, or panned.
"Panned" just means it wasn't met with showers of praise, if someone had a complaint about the game (ie the camera), that's panning it.

>a deluge of dreaded Mario Sports games in lieu of more favorable titles.
In all fairness, Mario Tennis is genuinely one of the best games on the N64 and has a large cult following in Japan, and Mario Golf is also actually pretty good. It's a really chilled out game and actually offers a very deep gameplay aspect.

I do get where you're coming from, though.

I see Adventure get shit on far less often than CV64. The worst that's ever said about that game is that it plays too slow, but people don't know about the enhanced GBC port that fixes the slowness.

In a perfect world, an AKI wrestling game. Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 would probably be the easiest one to license if it did happen.

>>6456153
>Comparing a gbc game to an n64 game.
Why?

>>6456153
It's still a bad CV even without the slowdown. Crap like losing whip power-ups on every hit has no place in Castlevania, and the lack of subweapons makes it hurt even more.

all of them, there's only like 5 games on the system lol

Goldeneye is never ever ever getting a re-released. MS and NOA might agree to a release, but NOJ were the ones who stopped it last time and they'll probably give the same response.

The biggest issue is no one has the license to make Bond games. Either Nintendo or MS would have to pay out the ass for a one off release or Eon Production will probably make whoever gets the rights to produced future Bond games. The industry is moving away from licensed games so its not happening.

If a N64 Mini ever does get released, I'd imagine no Expansion Pak games. Maybe DK64. Perfect Dark is too shitty in its n64 form. The framerate is the main culprit. Plus it would get outshined from the port 4jay made to Xbox a decade ago since it runs 60fps and looks great.

I'm not sure if any 3rd party games would get released. Turok 1, Shadows of the Empire, and Mischief Makers are all classics but a n64 mini will probably be expensive to make. Better to use games you don't have to license and split profits over.

MS has been more friendly with N lately so its possible they might let some of Rare's titles appear. Maybe.

>"Panned" just means it wasn't met with showers of praise
verb (used with object), panned, pan·ning.
Informal. to criticize severely, as in a review of a play.

i wasnt aware of that, can you shed a little light on that? I honestly havent played any new/current vidya since like 2013.

Guess i'd hate the game then, Goemon 2 annoyed the fuck out of me because of that shit

Licenses are expensive. Compared to the 90s, game development teams are huge. Back in the day, teams were usually under 20 or so people. Now it can be up to hundreds.

Cost of developing games are getting larger and larger. Companies are better off creating original IPs and making those. Licensed Games are usually seen as cash ins, rushed to market to meet a movie or tv show. Original IPs allow companies to rake in all the money while if they make licensed content, the owner of the original property gets a cut too.

Its just not profitable any longer to create licensed games.

>>6456168
>Crap like losing whip power-ups on every hit has no place in Castlevania,
That just means you have to git gud, like keeping the blue orb superweapon in Bloodlines.
>and the lack of subweapons makes it hurt even more.
Good, no more cheesing bosses with broken exploits like holy water or the Bible.

>>6456278
Yeah, I can see that. The thing about all these new IPs though is their same-ness. but thats a different topic.

Yeah, licenced games were just never good, really. There is Goldeneye obviously but really it was all downhill from there (and Goldeneye itself was the first huge-selling licenced game). Goldeneye was a total anomaly and the industry went with it for years. EA churned out like 10 Bond games and only 1 or 2 are any good. At one point they literally released a game called Golden Eye, about a guy with a... golden.. eye. It was a lousy game, it got lousy reviews, and was just a real cash-grab and kind of killed licenced games.
The only one I still see going is Lego. There is Star Wars but Disney has killed Star wars and plus good star wars games are actually few and far between. IMO the Rogue Squadron trilogy will never be topped (RS3 also had the star wars arcade games, which was a really nice bonus for /vr/ enthusiasts. It ran exceptionally fast, though, I did wonder about how it was emulated at the time, if it had just been cut-and-pasted in and the gamecube was just running it way too fast.)

Any list without

>Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon

are promptly ignored.

>>6456297
Nigger there's a crapload of good Star Wars games, mostly on PC. Kotor, Dark Forces, Jedi Outcast, Republic Commando, Episode 1 Racer, Empire at War, Galaxies, Battlefront, TIE Fighter etc etc.

Not these days obviously but then that's true for everything.

There's a handful of Nintendo titles people "dread" and Mario sports games are up there, and nowadays I'd say Party is as well. I remember people were preemptively upset (this is ridiculous but I understood their concern) that Pilotwings was coming to the SNES mini, taking up a slot since the NES classic had some duds, but to everyone's surprise it was nowhere to be seen.

>>6456297
>Yeah, licenced games were just never good, really.
It's about 50/50. I can name all kinds of good licensed games (Batman NES, Turtles in Time, GoldenEye, Spider-Man 2 movie tie-in, Aliens Infestation) but I can name just as many crappy ones (most Terminator games, most Jurassic Park games, almost every game that was specifically a tie-in to a movie that no one even saw like Cliffhanger or Warlock).

>SF2 was finished 25 years ago.
Not what I heard. My impression was that they had a 90% version and the leaked proto was something like 80%. I always assumed "90%" done meant a little more than shuffling some paperwork and slapping and ESRB rating on it.

Depends if its inclusion would prevent underaged from being able to buy it, though I don't know if stores still card people for M rated games anymore.
