Cartridge Games..

[Simon#Belmont]

Alright I understand that CD based game systems are not old enough and probably would be too much to put on this website....Anyone correct me there if im wrong...But i noticed that Gameboy color was here now its been a long time and i had a different username...But i was wondering if it would be at all possible to INclude NES64 games....That would make my year...Its Catridge and I think its just as retro as GBC. Anyway it would be awesome to play Tony Hawk and Smash Bros and Goldeneye....So my question is...will N64 make it to Reto Uprising???????

[CrispyChicken]

I think Kong said that N64 won't be added because the controls would be too complex and the games would be glitched up on RU.

I'd wait until he responds though to get a sure answer.

[Simon#Belmont]

Thank you for your input...I think a MIDI contoller might help with the controls tho...But anyone playing with a Keyboard would be at a Disadvantage possibly i could see that. Man i Miss playin Goldeneye...LOL. and im unstoppable at Super Smash Bros. I know that that Saturn wont be added which is my favorite system of all time... But 64 is a close close second. Hopefully they will be able to add it sometime

[Dudebro]

I don't have an answer for you but I have a question, what was your old username? Welcome to RU.

[Simon#Belmont]

James_Howlett. or something real close to that....You were on my friends list DudeBro You and Tails. It was right when Amiga Games got added when i Had that account.

[Kong]

N64 Full Mode will 95% for sure be added this year.
Score Mode is still very questionable.

[Simon#Belmont]

Kong your Awesome...Im so glad to be back @ RU. Oh and DudeBro it also may have Been GaMeR_mAn_ but im pretty suyre you knew me as James Howlett...I dont think i talked to anyone under Gamerman...But this one is my only actyive account now...couldnt remember my email for the others and i have a different email now anyway.

What Games for the 64?

[CrispyChicken]

Oh sweet! Glad to hear N64 games will most likely be added. Full Mode is better than nothing!

@SB- Knowing Kong, nearly all of them :p

[Simon#Belmont]

@ChrisP Nearly all of them will be great. Cant wait to play Goldeneye...Im gonna have to get a midi controller now. And Full Mode is def way better than nothing...
As soon as I have extra cash Im sending in a Donation

[Demon-Mask]

Welcome, or welcome back, I should say. I can tell you have at least a semblance of taste, naming yourself after one of the best vampire hunters in all of fiction.
It's cool to hear we'll get N64, that should increase traffic.

[Simon#Belmont]

Yeah I think that will bring in a whole other Generation of people looking for the 64 retro games that they grew up with.
And I appreciate the compliment on the name...Simons quest was one of the first games I can remember playing. It brought countless hours of enjoyment. Just Like RU does today.
And Ty Dudebro and Demon-Mask for the WB. I appreciate it...I tell every Gamer I know about this site.

[Demon-Mask]

You enjoyed Simon's Quest, too? It takes a lot of crap it doesn't deserve. The Devil May Cry avatar is a nice touch as well.
I tell people about RU as well, no one ever remembers to check it out, though.

[Simon#Belmont]

Yeah man I have that same problem...I tell people and they forget...I got my brother playing but he hasnt made an acct yet.
And Yeah Simons Quest does get a bum rap...but i think its bc people dont like the direction they went with it...adding in the RPG type game play with free roam...It really doesnt follow the Gameplay style as the others...but I think thats part of what made it special.

[Demon-Mask]

adding in the RPG type game play with free roam...It really doesnt follow the Gameplay style as the others

I don't think the free-roaming RPG part was the problem, as shown by the success of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and the post SotN games which borrowed it's gameplay model. The problem was the obtuse hints and its backtracking. I found it all to be charming, but I'm in the minority.

[Simon#Belmont]

Oh the hints like...rumor has it that the ferry man @ Dead River loves garlic...Yeah...I have not played Symphony of night...Or Castlevania game after the genesis. I am going to have to check that out...Appreciate the insight there.

[Demon-Mask]

The most obtuse hint was the one about the cyclone and the wall and all of that nonesuch. Symphony of the Night is good, I'd recommend it.

If you wanted to use either of those accounts we could probably just change the email associated with it for you. Your new name is more retro though.


About the N64 thing I wouldn't get my hopes up about all of them being added. Every system has games that just don't work and I think with N64 it will be worse. Let's just hope the really good ones work.

The games I wanna see are-
1080
Battletanx and it's sequel(looks bad now but we had so much fun with it)
Destruction Derby
Doom
Fighting Force
Gauntlet Legends
Hybrid Heaven(Such an underrated game)
Ocarina of Time
Mario Kart
The NFL Blitz games
Ogre Battle 64
Perfect Dark(much better than GoldenEye)
The Rampage games
The South Park FPS(not nearly as bad as people claim)
Star Wars Episode 1 racer(hated the movie but the game is fun)
The Turok games
The WCW/WWF wrestling games(lots of nostalgia and they're still better than the newer ones)

The ones in bold I really wanna play again. Also Hybrid Heaven is a game everyone should try, nothing else like it has ever been made from what I've seen.


About Simons Quest, I have fond memories of all the older Castlevania games. To me they are iconic and awesome.

[DrunkN]

The problem was the obtuse hints and its backtracking.
Mindless AI and grinding, obscure sense of objective, monster-per-platform enemy placement, repetitively similar enemy types, dull color scheme (this one is pretty minor, but everything just felt so dark green and grey as opposed to bright orange and blue), and awkward inventory implementation didn't help much either...

Though I do think it had potential, I just don't think that the right experience for an action RPG was there.

[Simon#Belmont]

Starfox64
Duke Nuke em zero Hour
The Turoks
Any Star Wars or Bond Game
Road Rash 64
MegaMan 64
The Castlevania Games
Resident Evil 2
Doom 64
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2
Any of the Army Men Games
Rainbow 6
Transformers beast Wars
Batman Beyond Return of the Joker
Ready to Rumble Boxing
Sim City 2000
Id really like to Play some of those...And yead DudeBro i think Ill keep this name...It suits me better.
Cant wait till 64 gets here

[Morshu]

Doesn't it take quite a bit of processing power to run most N64 games? My friend had an emulator that ran Majora's Mask and it ran rather slow.

[Dudebro]

I wanna stress how good Hybrid Heaven is. It's so unique and fun just talking about it doesn't do it justice, here's a clip-
Hybrid Heaven - Creature Battle 28 - YouTube

[Simon#Belmont]

@ DudeBro...That does look pretty fun....Hopefully we will get it.
@ Morshu...I dont know the answer to your question...but im willing to bet that if Kong says he's adding em...that he'll ,make it work.

[Dudebro]

I can't answer that either but it will probably just mean games will take a long while to load up and slower computers will have trouble or won't play them at all.

[Seahawk]

Casual N64 emulators are pretty hackish, so they'll probably run fine for the most part. But for the same reason, some more advanced games on the console won't work.

Score mode using MESS however, I can guarantee you nobody here will be able to run.

[Dudebro]

If nobody here can run it who can?

[Tails]

Pokemon Puzzle League! <3

[Demon-Mask]

I've always wanted to play the Castlevania games for the N64.

[Seahawk]

If nobody here can run it who can?

The developers of MAME and MESS have always put accurate emulation as a higher priority than speed. As a side effect their N64 emulator is pretty much the best around if you can run it.

There used to be an N64-based arcade game on the site called Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth. I forget when it was removed, but it was a really long time ago (say 2008 or 2009). On my computer, which was new at the time, I remember getting really slow speeds on it, between 30%-70%.

And there are already several games here on RU that are unplayable by most users, try playing Cyber Sled (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/7867/).

[samejamesbond]

Super Smash Bros Easily.

Although NFL Blitz would be nice.

[Dudebro]

@SH- I used to love that game in the arcade. It loaded up quick and the FPS stayed around 85-95% for me. I couldn't figure out the controls though but it was smoothly crashing into the walls.

[Seahawk]

A bowling alley I used to go to had it, I remember the huge rush I got from beating training mode for the first time on one credit.

[Dudebro]

How was your FPS for it? How do you set up the controls to actually work?

[Kong]

I get about 70% on it.

[Seahawk]

The original game uses two analog joysticks to move your tank, with two trigger buttons on each, so you'll need an input device the provides the equivalent of all of those.

A standard Xbox 360 wired controller would be pretty good.

[Dudebro]

I'll have to try my controller. I remember liking that game but not wanting to pay a dollar a game, total rip off.

[joz]

@SH: what would one need in order to run that game smoothly?

[fungusman]

n64 games are huge too, I'm curious to see how kong is going to go about that.

[joz]

Kong can manage to fit huge things in small spaces.

[Kong]

n64 games are huge too, I'm curious to see how kong is going to go about that.They are larger than our average game size. They are not larger than our largest games.

[Seahawk]

n64 games are huge too, I'm curious to see how kong is going to go about that.

N64 games range from 4-64 MB, with only two games at 64MB (Resident Evil 2 and Conker's Bad Fur Day) and only a few at 32MB. Most hang around 16MB or less.

In comparison, Metal Slug on the Neo Geo is 29.5MB.

[Morshu]

It would make my day if you guys got Conker's Bad Fur Day. That is my all time favorite game. Resident Evil 2, the Castlevania games, Perfect Dark and Mischief Makers would be great to see on here too.

[Simon#Belmont]

They are larger than our average game size. They are not larger than our largest games.

What are our largest games????

[Dudebro]

Seahawk already posted one of the largest(might even be the largest)
Retro Uprising - Arcade - Cyber Sled (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/7867/)

[Kong]

Hmm. I thought we had some larger ones than these but I was wrong. These are currently the largest games by filesize.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Mortal Kombat 3
Ganryu
Gaia Crusaders
World Heroes Perfect
Shadow Over Mystara
Super Gem Fighters
King of Fighters '95
Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon
Mortal Kombat 2
World Heroes Perfect 2 Jet
All coin-op.

Hoping to get up to get up to games as big as King of Fighters '99 this year. Which is 5 times as big as UMK3. But that might be a bit of a stretch. We will see.

Probably will get up to at least as big as Metal Slug.

Resident Evil 2 and Conker's Bad Fur Day for N64 might be pushing it too much. Again, we will see.

@DB, depends on how you measure it. If going by file size, Cyber Sled isn't that big.

It just requires a fast PC, not bandwidth.

Do you think The Castlevania Games..Perfect Dark..And the Bond games for 64 are feasible?

[Dudebro]

I misunderstood what SH was saying then, I thought he meant because of the size it would be unplayable for most people.

[Tails]

In the game getting 85% evenly.

[Simon#Belmont]

:clap:I really glad that my topic took off like this...thank you everyone who posted.:clap:

[joz]

@SH: what would one need in order to run that game smoothly?

Maybe my question was overlooked...

[Kong]

I am guessing
8GB RAM or more
An i7 processor
A top of the line video card
And a controller with dual analog sticks.
That should be a new desktop around $1200. Not counting monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.
Do you think The Castlevania Games..Perfect Dark..And the Bond games for 64 are feasible?
I'm not going to answer individual game questions like these. Two many unknowns still. But the majority will be added.

[Simon#Belmont]

@ Kong..Thank you very much....Really Excited that your adding the N64. Im going to tell all my friends that grew up with one about it being added and get them on the site...And as soon as I get paid im going to donate whatever I can spare to help keep RU alive.

[Kong]

We will add N64 if we reach the donation goal in February.

[CrispyChicken]

Awesome!

@Everyone- Make sure you donate in February and not now or in the next few days until it's actually February 1st if you have the intention of donating towards the February donation goal.

[sezthemank]

OMG N64 WILL BE ADDED :D
Happy!!

[Dudebro]

@Chris- I'm sure if the donation goal was reached earlier it would still count.

[Slime Slayer]

Crazy, I did'nt think n64 was possible, that will really set the site apart from the imitators.

[Demon-Mask]

There are imitators?

[Kong]

We will add N64 if we reach the donation goal in February.
$30 and 18 days to go.

[DrunkN]

$30 and 18 days to go.
Do you mean to say "to spare"? I'm a bit confused.

[Kong]

When that was written we still needed to collect that much to meet the goal.

Odd, for some reason that showed up as a "new" post yesterday. I must have been tired.
