Maybe, but the LEGO version is probably better these days and has like 10000x more content.

Do you ever need more than one leg strap for Switch Sports?
I guess you already figured this out, but the physical version that's inexplicably $10 more expansive includes a single leg strap. So they kind of want you to have at least one, I guess.

Somewhat related but when I bought Switch Sports yesterday at Target the tech clerk was a bit shady and my receipt shows that he, somehow, applied a "non-retail" BOGO-"free" code for 5¢, so I guess I got ripped off for an amount that isn't worth dealing with and he got a free copy of the game?

The load times once you're in game are okay, but launching it and loading your save at the start takes like five minutes

the problem with Shadow of the Empire is that they front-loaded all the best missions, the back half of the game is a slog

There was some feature on my tv that made one level completely pitch black. As a kid I just thought that’s how the level was and somehow was always able to beat it.

The penultimate level being a sewer level was possibly the hardest any N64 game owned me.

alright, thanks for quick replies. I can live with slow initial load times as long as the rest runs decent enough. I’ve been thinking about buying it for quite some time and saw that it is on 50% sale right now.

shadows was great, but i don’t know how playable it is now? i remember watching some video about how janky and buggy it is. seems like it’d offend modern senses. but if you have nostalgia for it, it’s probably fine.

but the best 64 game is blast corps. i have such a love/hate thing with it, even now.

I remember REALLY wanting Rainbow Six on N64, I was really into the planning of a mission and all that. And the game delivers, but wow, is it possibly the worst version of that game.

Bowling is great, I hope they let us do the tricks lanes online at some point. I won a couple of rounds last night, in the 180 range. You absolutely have to clear your first frame or you have no way to catch up before the first cut.

Tennis was also fun, I hope at some point they let us play proper singles. I never did quite get the timing down on effectively using myself at the net. Probably won about half my games. It might be time to finally find an ethernet cord and plug this thing in.

Haven't tried these online yet, but soccer was fun with the kids. Badminton made no sense. Sword fighting was good in the same room.

Haven't tried volleyball at all yet.

If you want N64 emulation I think you're gonna want something a little more powerful than the Switch or you'll be disappointed.

dk64 completely sucks poo poo. the only good thing about it is it was so bad it made industry and gamers alike take pause and realize that maybe these 3d collectathon platformers should not be what all video games are now, and let's knock it off and try coming up with something more interesting

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
I'm glad that we, as a thread, have determined objectively that the N64 is simultaneously the best and worst video game console.
