Has it really been 20 years since Nintendo 64 first launched? Man, time does really fly.

What are your fondest memories of the system and its games?

I used to play a lot of Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart back in the day. Majora's Mask is still my favourite of the Zelda games, except for Wind Waker. Paper Mario was fantastic. Mario Tennis was incredibly addicting.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

My fondest N64 memory?

It would have to be be beating Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. It wasn't that easy mates, the ReDeads are Nightmare Fuel on legs and the Wallmasters make the Spirit Temple hard on you. then there's the Dead Hand....

Well while I'm still up...

It'd have to be Pokemon Stadium 2. its the game that introduced me to the series as a whole.
thats right. I went all rental pokemon baby. Primeape was the MVP at the time.

until Prime Cup came.
then I remember being astounded by the Pink Fluff that was Mew,as it stomped Primeape into the ground. I didn't know what it was,but I wanted that on my team. I didn't know back then it was a legendary,so I was saddened to not see it on the list of rentals.

oh.I was not the richest kid on the block either,so this was one of the only games I remember on N64. that and
HYDRO THUNDER!

 

[Wolfie557]

I do love me some paranormal.

...
I had two cases of seeing "shadow people" when I was a kid.

Spoiler

Both of which took place in the first house I grew up in, and both of which were clinging up where the wall meets the ceiling. It's really odd, I never freaked out like you'd expect a kid to do, I just stood there and stared them down on both occasions, they didn't have faces but I had the intense feeling of them staring back at me. Definitely wasn't just a trick of shadows or anything, because they were against brightly lit walls, and I watched them for at least 5-10 seconds a piece, only for them to vanish the moment I looked away. Could have just been dreams, but they're oddly specific and short occurrences that are nothing like any other dreams I can remember.

Ahh the Shadow People. A lot of people have seen them. I remember watching a documentary about them and it was damn right scary.

Let me change the question?

Do you believe in aliens?

Already answered that. Idc what anyone says I've seen two ships up there with my own eyes.

I mean everyone knew about Marin but we hadn't seen a 3D model of her.

She looks beautiful!!!! <3

As for the ALBW characters I feel its Ravio and Hilda....but it could also be Ravio and Yuga. Personally I would pick Hilda and Yuga tho

As for the DS games...no idea.

I never owned an N64 (I was a PlayStation guy back in the day), but I have fond memories of playing Mario Kart 64 and Smash 64 with relatives, plus being exposed to games such as Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, and Ocarina of Time.

N64 is my favorite console of all time, it has so many of my favorite games too. It's like, that generation they just executed 3D gaming to the utmost perfection and the style of the games really felt they were designed just for my tastes, what i was wanting the most in gaming. So good.

These games are my fav in their entire series.

Mario 64
Star Fox 64
The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of time
Pokemon Stadium 2
Yoshi's Story

Now outside of long time running series, it also more games there were some of my favorite of all time such as:

Banjo Kazooie
Paper Mario
Turok (possibly my fav FPS game)
Goldeneye 007
Bomberman Hero (favorite Bomberman game)
Blast Corps
Pokemon Snap (Best Pokemon spinoff)
Kirby 64 Crystal Shards
Chameleon Twist (so good)
Star Wars Shadow of the Empire (possibly favorite Star Wars game, definitely top 2 for me)
Pokemon Stadium (Also really freakin' amazing as well with so many features. Craps on Pokemon Box and Revolution)
Hey You Pikachu! (I don't care what anyone else thinks about this one, I had so much fun with it as a kid and it felt like a really happy experience interacting with Pokemon in this manner.)
Mario Kart 64 (Best battle mode)
Pokemon Puzzle Challenge (Really good Puzzle League game, it's my favorite one in the series)
Super Smash Bros.

And on the lesser good ones but still very fun games you have

Mario Party
Crusin USA
Banjo Tooie
Perfect Dark
Mission Impossible
F-Zero X
Flying Dragon (fun fighting game)

and there's more games I haven't thought of yet, and a lot more games I haven't even played yet on this system to boot! All in all, N64 is the best console with the best library to me. So good.

Wasn't able to get one until around 2006/7, so I guess walking into Blockbuster and looking at all the games I wasn't allowed to rent. lol Though I do remember having some eventual fun with F-Zero X, Smash 64, and Goldeneye. One day I'll finish my run of Paper Mario.

It was definitely groundbreaking, but I don't think it has aged terribly well as a whole.

Those are good news, though it's not too surprising since the series is quite popular.

No way a Jump manga with such popularity would only get a single anime season.

Well, according to a guy on GameFAQs, the official Japanese site mentions she has a move involving the Wind Fish. Possibly her special move or one of the Focus Spirit moves.

The bell itself is the Sea Lily's Bell, one of the Eight Instruments of the Sirens needed to awaken the Wind Fish.

Wouldn't be surprised if the other instruments showed up in some way in her moveset.

Anyway, it's nice to see all the references to Link's Awakening shown so far. Very underappreciated game of the series IMO.

Hyrule Warriors gets me so hyped even tho my game is broken.

I have corrupted updata data that simply can't even be ****ing deleted. I looked online and its a problem with the actual hardware apparently and Ill need to send it for repair but I can't do that.

Ill try again later I suppose...

Hyrule Warriors is amazing just in the concept itself. They should do Fire Emblem next.

It's also DLC for the WiiU, so you can play as Chun-Linkle for just a few euros as well.

I finished the Hidden Truths DLC

Spoiler: Thoughts on Hidden Truths overall

I found human Anankos rather likable. Sure, he sounds just like Cam Clarke Corrin, but it felt pleasant to hear this side of Anankos after experiencing the one from Revelation. I even felt bad for human Anankos by the second part. Owain/Odin had some really likable moments here, even more than Inigo/Laslow's IMO.

The first map took me two tries, as it mainly came down to RNG luck against Sumeragi. The first time I wasn't lucky, while the second run had a better luck. The second map took me three tries: one with RNG luck going against me against a Dark Knight, and the second try was just a test to see what would happen if you took the non-Dragon's Vein path. Long story short, do the Dragon's Vein path. Those Berserkers are just way too scary to deal with. With the third attempt, I did the full Dragon's Vein route, and it wasn't as bad I thought when I learned about the enemy swarm, particularly because all of your units get super-charged and the one that activated it gets added skills. In my run, it was Laslow, and he got some kills thanks to Astra. I even got some RNG luck against Arete and the Maids and managed to escape before the Kinshi Knights arrived.

As for the story points...

Damn, Lilith acted pretty scary for a villain, especially how she treats human Anankos, but I guess I have that impression because I'm used to seeing her as a kind girl. Human Anankos's death makes her realize that the Dragon Anankos never loved her as a parent, and the human one tries to reach out in the final moments. She learns of her father's son's/daughter's name, and so she decides to travel to Nohr and be with Corrin to make up for it, although she will never reveal that she is Corrin's sister. Yes, turns out Corrin's real little sister is Lilith. Older sister or little sister? We don't know, but I'm leaning towards the latter.

I kind of wish we got to see Anankos without the hood though. There was a moment when he was dying where you could see what was underneath his hood, but it looked like even his hair covers his eyes.

And quite shockingly, human Anankos ends up returning to dragon Anankos. The DLC ends with one scene showing Dragon Anankos talking about how he will destroy humanity and laughs menacingly, and then the credits play. After that, we see Dragon Anankos again, but this time, he speaks in that weird caps-and-lowercase language like Monster Garon did in Conquest, but this time, it's a plea for Corrin, Laslow, Selena, and Odin to defeat him and free him from his madness, ending with the Dragon Anankos gaining composure for a brief second as he says, "I believe in you." It then transitions to a special narration text talking about how you will never learn Anankos is your father and Lilith is your sister during your adventure.

I also find it funny that Odin, Laslow, and Selena were supposed to go to Hoshido originally. Just imagine how different they would've looked like if they adapted to Hoshidan culture! They end up in Nohr only because Corrin turns out to be there. Not only that, but those three knew about Valla before Corrin learned about it first hand. Imagine how the three felt during the Revelation playthrough in the later chapters.

With the first one, I liked how they referenced Robin at the end of it when Human Anankos talked about feeling the presence of a "tactician."

Still a shame that when you get First Blood for your main adventure, it's probably going to be pointless because you've probably already beaten the game at that point and thus you no longer have to worry about Dragon's Vein tiles, especially when the way this DLC is set up is so that you would play it after beating Revelation.

I also beat the Before Awakening DLC.

Spoiler: Before Awakening DLC thoughts

Dear lord, this map is BRUTAL in the late-game. The main issue here is that Master Ninjas are constantly being sent out at the fortresses (and it is a "Rout the Enemy" mission for that matter), so you pretty much need to play your cards right and make sure you take out two Ninjas at a time while having at least two of your units stand on the fortresses to prevent them from coming out. Also, if you're playing this on Hard or higher, the Master Ninjas have Lunge AND Poison Strike, so it is very easy for one of your units to be swarmed out of nowhere and die.

Oh yeah, if you want to obtain the Hero's Brand and the Exalt's Brand, Chrom, Frederick, and Lissa need to survive the map. If Lissa ends up in the range of the Master Ninjas and at least two of them remain AND can reach her, you might as well just restart.

I started out using myself, Jakob, Kagero, Laslow, and Hana, mainly because I wanted to see the support dialogues. They were pretty sweet and funny. Later on, it turns out the four units weren't doing much to keep the Ninjas at bay, so I ended up using Xander, Hinoka, Takumi, and Oboro. Even using them took a few tries. This is one map where you can't just Dual Guard the whole thing.

For those tackling this DLC in the late-game, here's how I did it.

I had Oboro take out the first Spear Master with a Brave Lance. I then had Xander soften up the nearby Oni Chieftain and have myself finish it off. I paired Hinoka with Xander for the Dual Guard. Takumi used a Spy's Yumi and an Attack Guard with Oboro to take out the other Spear Master in the distance. The Ninjas arrived on the top. I had Takumi stand on one fort, and Xander on the other. Frederick moved in over the bridge, and Oboro tagged along, equipped with the Guard Naginata so that she could tank up hits. Oboro survived the onslaught with minimal damage. The ninjas also moved forward. Takumi one-shotted one of them, while Hinoka took out the other. I made sure to stand on one of the forts around the beginning. From there, it was pretty easy. More ninjas were reinforced at the top, but I moved in my other units to take care of them. Once I cleared them and the Spear Masters nearby (with Frederick's help of course), no more reinforcements arrived. From there, I took out the remaining Spear Master with an Attack Stance Hinoka and Oboro, while Takumi finished off the Oni Chieftain after Chrom and Frederick worked together to weaken it.

This map still felt really nostalgic though, especially with Prelude battle theme playing in the background and the map taking place on Chapter 2 from that game. The very ending to this Xenologue also plays out the first cutscene from Awakening, complete with the voices from there.

And with that, I'm taking the fifth option... drop the sword and Dragonstone and hop into a robot. You know what's coming next...

Both of those maps are easier when done early in the game
In Hidden Truths for example, the enemy scale like normal but the trio will always be at Lv20 with those stats so they can easily overwhelm any non-promoted units with ease and probably solo the map after using the 4th Dragon Vein in the second one
Before Awakening is also better done earlier, not for your own units but so Chrom and the other two can handle themselves and actually help clear out the enemies

And while you're most likely to play Hidden Truths late, they're very useful early on, Grandmaster access, DV utility for Rev and BA gives you two special reclass items and Pebble, Pebble

Yay, I don't have to read the manga!
Well, I'm more relieved, because I heard(I think it was even here) that it would only get the first arc adapted, and I hate when I try to watch an anime that forces me to read the manga

Has anyone considered the possibility of us maybe seeing one of the sages from A Link Between Worlds as a playable character? I mean, we got at least one or two sages from the Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time, so I wouldn't really rule them out imo. I'd personally go with either Irene or Osfala since they where probably the most notable sages in that game.....
