- Playstation 1 had many exclusive franchises we would have loved on Nintendo 64. Strangely, some of the games which you most associate with the PS1 actually had N64 releases so for todays video lets take a look at the ones I most associate with being ps1 franchise exclusives - let me know yours in the comments!

0:10 *the casual in me* : Hell yeah!
0:18 *the hardcore in me, wanting a 99 player battle royale online F-Zero X Death Race game* : Hell yeah!
Shame Nintendo doesn’t care about f zero the same way fans do hey
I actually agree with the reviews calling Ridge Racer 64 one of the (if not the) best racing games on the N64. I poured countless hours into it :D the handling is sublime once it clicks and the races were genuinely intense.
It was interesting that although Sony owned Psygnosis, they were kinda still independent so still just doing their own thing. Apparently Sony nearly sold them due to this, but ultimately decided against it.
Yeah it was such a small window when that could happen it’s amazing how the game ever came out
Tekken 1, 2 & 3, GTA 2,
Pro Evolution Soccer
Driver, Crash Bandicoot, Gran Turismo. 🙂
I much preferred iss over pro evo although I did okay pro evo a lot back in the day when I worked club 18 30 on Tenerife
Micro Machines 64 Turbo is absolutely amazing. There’s an 8 player mode on it - one person uses the c buttons, the other uses the d-pad and the vehicles are on autopilot. It was such a disaster and an absolute mess but we were crying with laughter.
Another game that blew me away - Resi Evil 2. How Angel Studios were able to put it all onto one cartridge without much compromise is incredible.
That’s right, the only 8 player game on the console!
@@n64glennplant I think you’re right! We used to take turns on Pokemon Stadium but Micro Machines has the only official game mode for 8 players. Oh, the days of using the transfer pak, playing Clefairy Says…I miss it so much 😢
No Resident Evil 2 Glenn?
Glad to see you watch glenn too, Larry
This! If anything screams Playstation back then, it was Resident Evil.
I guess Resident Evil has a more known overall multiplatform history than the other games here, that’s my guess as to why it wasn’t on this list.
@@strykah92 maybe now, but it wasn’t back then.
@@jhauer2935 depends what you mean, I’m aware that 1-3 were released on PS1 first, but they did release on Sega Saturn/Dreamcast/PC later too.
Again, just my speculation, but I see both sides of the argument.
Vigilante 8 series is one I always associated to Playstation and was really surprised to know it was on N64 also.
And Nightmare Creatures is a game I really enjoy, but the controls are sooo janky. You gotta be a sucker for punishment to play that xD
Franchises I always wanted during the N64 era
1. Street Fighter/Capcom Vs series - - Never understood with a franchise being sprite based never made it onto the console.
2. Darkstalkers - Same as above.
3. Dino Crisis - With the N64 version of RE2 somehow existing would have loved to have seen this on the console.
4. Dark Forces/Jedi Knight II - Cheating here but with the N64 being home of many Star Wars games, I would have loved to see the adventures of Kyle Katarn adapted for the console.
5. Klonoa franchise - I feel this guy would have felt more at home on the console of platformers.
Always smash the f out of dark forces on PC - love those games
The N64 use of the cartridge format may had play a role in some of those games not receiving the N64 treatment. For one the controller is weirdly shape which makes playing fighting games very treacherous to control. Dino Crisis came out close to the end of the N64 lifespan so Capcom didn't had much time to port it to that instead opting for the better Dreamcast platform. My other guess is that Nintendo probably don't want to see too many 2D games on N64 instead encouraging third party to bring 3D games for that system.
The game that surprised me was resident evil 2 i remember seeing the commercial for it back in the day announcing it for playstation and dreamcast but right when i saw the n64 logo i thought no way would they be able to fit the game on to a cartridge but low an behold they managed the impossible and with full motion video yes it looked grainy but the fact that it was able to run is a miracle in it of itself.
Yeah it’s just a shame it was a late release as the tech for fmv compression could have been used in so many other games before it
I absolutely loved that some Capcom PlayStation classics made their way to N64 late it it's life, namely Megaman Legends and Resident Evil 2.
As for PSone titles I would have loved to see on the system, Suikoden or Breath of Fire III would have been awesome. Neither one really uses prerendered video, and the N64 was really hurting for RPGs
There are three PS1 games I would've loved to see on the N64. Need for Speed: High Stakes, Die Hard: Trilogy and Gran Turismo.
Die hard trilogy was amazing, loved it
An idea for a video: your favorite PS1 games from your perspective as a N64 fan. That would be really interesting.
Great video. I would love to see Tekken 64 back in the day.
I actually had a ps1 and way more games than I ever had on n64 which is funny
@@n64glennplant I guess that's fair enough, seeing as the library was far larger.
I didn't realise how much better N64 graphics were compared to PS1 until I revisited my old consoles a few years ago. N64 games have stood the test of time much better than PS1.
Id agree as long as n64 is on crt..looks awful on modern lcd tv. Crt with s video lead or rgb mod is good.
Shame about the framerates!
Funnily enough renting Ridge Racer 64 was my first exposure to the franchise lmao... I had almost no knowledge about PlayStation until 2001 (I was 7 on that year).
Mango you’re making me feel way old brah!
@@n64glennplant Lmao just gotta accept that it's been a long while since we were kids! In any case I prefer this way, we're more capable to appreciate and be more critical at what we would experience back then.
Same here, but mine was a birthday present. I've never owned a Sony console
I think it would have been great to see ports of some japanese 3D fighting games for the Playstation, like Bloody Roar, Streey Fighter EX, Rival Schools or Dead or Alive. I know the N64 was hard to work for some of the genres japanese devs like to work with, like visual novels, jrpg's, shoot em ups or 2D fighting games, that being the reason why it got so little support from that country, but I don't see any issue for it to run any of those 3D fighters, in fact in the west the managed to bring stuff like Mace or MK4 just fine, so it's even more puzzling.
That’s true - I’d have loved some more schmups myself which were clearly possible on the console
I always wanted sypthon filter on the n64! I loved goldeneye and perfect dark and it was a perfect thirdperson lovechild between em. Gotta love that taser setting baddies on fire.
See I always found SF to have that weird floaty movement that just made it unplayable for me
Only thing i remember about syphon filter was being wowed by the running animation when a friend showed me the game. That didnt age well
I would have enjoyed seeing Need for Speed: High Stakes on the N64. I had (well, still have) this on the PC and played the daylights out of it. The Playstation version had a completely different feel to it. I would have been curious to see if an N64 version would have had a different feel as well.
Beetle Adventure Racing was the closest thing we got to a Need for Speed title on the N64, but I thought it was boring. It plays well enough but I just felt that the circuits got dull pretty quickly.
That’s a shame BaR is one of my fav racing games ever
Its because NFS High stakes on the PSX used a different but much superior engine than its pc counterpart. The Aspect Ratio and the Car models on the PC version were kinda messed up.. BTW: EA saw so much potential in the engine of High Stakes PSX, that their used this engine for the Development of the PC Version of NFS Porsche. The PSX port of NFS Porsche on other Hand was developed by Eden Games and used the V-Rally 2 engine. Thats the reason with it kinda looks and feels like a reskin of V-Rally 2...
Honestly I wonder if Beetle Adventure Racing was "NFS 64" all along. If we ignore the wackiest features on tracks, it's very reminiscent to the first few NFS games. I also remember a video showing the debug menu of the game (I don't remember if it was a proto or the retail version), and it had the Need for Speed name on it. Wouldn't be surprised if they added the Volkswagen vehicles in middle of development.
I got Megaman 64 very later in the Gamecube era.
It was my first Megaman game, I alreally knew about the super fighting robot due to the old Megaman animated series and Battle Network came around the time I beat it.
I have lots of memories and enjoyed the game. Also the fact that you can play with the d-pad was a blessing since I remembered that the very few controllers I had, all of the joysticks were useless.
So when I knew about Megaman Legends 2 I was pretty sad that it didn't end up in a Nintendo console.
______
I'd give the PS1 a port of Superman 64...
Since Titus worked so hard to make the PS1 version, it's a shame it didn't end up in the console.
That’s true, even the beta of the n64 superman is better than the final build
Nightmare Creatures is really fun I got a copy this year for my collection and played it for Halloween
Which console did you get it on?
Third day in a row I see Nightmare Creatures brought up...hmm foreshadowing?
@@heavyhittersirl the third game was cancelled way back in the day
@@n64glennplant I got it on N64
Can so relate to the sentiment of actual racing over combat in an arcade racer. Always preferred that style whenever the games gave us the option to switch off or weaken the combat and concentrate on mastering the courses instead. Extreme-G comes to mind, not sure if Wipeout had that option...
Also, I miss the times when PC games and console titles were so vastly different in style, the golden age of console gaming. Now they are basically all the same with a few exclusives and it boils down to which system you already own and where a game is on sale.
Yeah it’s helped reduce costs of development but at the same time limited some games from getting unique experiences in other systems
Nice man! I honestly wish Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Uncharted would've came to the N64 man because those games I heard were such great classics back in the 90s!! Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention Mega Man 64 in this video as your favorite PS1 based N64 game man (since it was on the PS1 first as Mega Man Legends before it came to the N64 as Mega Man 64).
Mega man 64 is definitely not my favourite ps1 based n64 game 😄
I would of loved Croc legend of the gobbos on N64 as a kid . Made by argonaut it's got such a Nintendo feel to it .
Yeah it started development as yoshiw64 before Nintendo rejected it
@@n64glennplant it would of been interesting to see how it would of turned out . As much as I enjoyed Yoshi's story a 3D Yoshi game would of been fun.
herc's adventure Would be one I’d love on N64.
Fun co-op, 2D top down ‘beat em up’ kinda style, very fun!
Nice shout!
It would have been nice to see some more RPGs for the N64, so something like the Breath of Fire series being brought over would have been nice.
There's also a conspicuous lack of Street Fighter on the N64, which is a shame as once the carts got bigger, it could have done some pretty nice ports of Super Turbo and the Alpha series.
Yeah the street fighter series was down on the release schedule but never made it past the drawing board from what I know
You must be on holiday with all this new content. Not complaining though as it's great to see so many new videos. As for a PS port I would have liked to have seen it would have to be GT2 for me. It had plenty of issues and being more of a local multiplayer fan not what I would normally call my cup of tea, but it was some how still oddly addictive. Plus it would have been great to have a local 4 player split screen mode added so friends could have brought there own cars over for a spot of multiplayer.
Making videos helps manage my aspie traits 😂
Hey Glenn, I'm always looking for other channels that do PS1 content. I love this stuff. Liked and subbed :)
What's the name of the mech game just before Glenn starts talking about Wipeout?
I will never forget walking into Toy R us in 99 and finding Wipeout 64 for £7.99, a game I could actually afford with my paper round money!
That’s bloody class they weren’t usually the cheapest for game stuff
👍😁😜😜😁👍 Interesting video. My story stared with 8-bit computers (and even I have few videos about them). Perhaps focusing more on N64 would be a good idea when observing your channel growth...
I’ve been uploading for coming on a decade now and aside from one or two hiatus years I’ve been pretty consistent. It’s just takes time 😄
Tekken, Tomb Raider and some point n click adventures like Discworld or Baphomets Fluch (Broken Sword) were certainly missed on the N64…
I'd put in this list Command & Conquer, Tony Hawk, Road Rash, and of course RE2, I associate those names with PS.
Also I can see a surge in Nightmare creatures on CZcams, strange algorythm.
Haha I know it’s weird right! Someone else mentioned that, maybe they’re doing 3rd one now after it was cancelled all those years ago
@@n64glennplant We can dream, a remake would also be great.
I’d completely forgotten about Wipeout 64! That’s definitely getting tracked down.
It’s cool how it’s kinda like a mix up of older tracks with variations etc
Wouldn't have been awesome if Wipeout 64 was actually called Wipeout 2064?
haha that would have been smart!
At the time, I was a hardcore PSX fan. The graphics weren't as powerful as the N64 but the disc based games and the controller just made gaming so much better. I always wanted the Rush series to be ported to the PSX. If Sony and Nintendo had been able to maintain their partnership and combined the graphical power of the N64 with the benefits of CD games and the much better controller the PSX had, it would have been the ultimate game system for that time.
Amen to that…..and don’t forget how much “cheaper” it was to get ps1 games 😉
@@n64glennplant Oh yes it was! Those carts cost a whole lot!
There's RUSH for PS1, it is very limited compared with the N64 game but still fun.
The only issue with this approach would be the base unit itself costing more than $399 at launch. To have N64 graphics and a built in CD drive would’ve drastically made the system just as, if not, more expensive than the Sega Saturn.
@@crazedlunatic43 Sure, but with the games they could have made, it woulda crushed the others at value for dollar spent
I am very curios, the SD2SNES or FXPak or how it is called now gave CD-Audio and Full Motion Video to the Super Nintendo.
Wouldn't it be possible to add uncompressed Video to Resident Evil 2 or the full Soundtrack to the Tony Hawk Series with an Everdrive that has nearly no Limit to its Space.
Haven't found any such Mod/Project so far.
I would also love to see a completly new Game that is designed without Space Limits in Mind (well the Hardware Bottlenecks can't be magically disappear).
Imo the Games that use Textures and Sprites more are visually more appealing today.
Great point - I imagine it’s only a matter of time as the n64 mod scene is heating up nicely these days
Wipeout 1 and Wipeout 2097 were released on the Saturn. Also Soviet strike..I think the biggest surprise there is Ridge racer!
What's the name of Robot Fighting game who appears before starting the list?
Last legion ux- there’s also a translation patch into English for it. There’s also a review of the Japanese version on the channel if you’re interested in knowing more about it
Imagine if the N64 had the Tomb Raider titles, especially the 2nd one which is easily one of my all time favourite games. Silent Hill, Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Tomorrow Never Dies spring to mind as well. This might just be me talking nonsense, but with some of these games mentioned, I'd reckon the N64 would have sold more than the 32 million units sold.
They were teased all the time and even the studio said tomb raider 64 was on the cards at one point
@@n64glennplant Even as a Playstation kid growing up, I'm surprised Tomb Raider 64 didn't go into fruition. If it had, it would instantly be a Player's Choice title here in the UK, due to the series success on PS1.
"My local Blockbuster in Walton on Thames"
Oh man that was a flash back to my childhood. Renting games from the very store.
I left in like 1996 I think it was - rented the ps1 console a few times from there before actually buying one too
Great video. Im a fan of the strike games and having quickly compared the N64 and PlayStation versions of Nuclear strike I have to say the ps1 version looks better. There's no way the N64 textures have been enhanced.
Didn’t you ever get caught not to 🚬 🌿 and comment on CZcams videos? 😉
Im sure that i would have loved many playstation games, if my inner fanboy would have tried them.
But two i remember wanting are metal gear solid and the spyro games.
I bought the twin snakes on gamecube and didnt really like it.
I also got the spyro remakes on switch, and while they are pretty good I dont think they can compare to mario and banjo. But who knows. If iplayed them as a child i would have loved them.
Didnt know that ridge racer 64 was made by nintendo, got into the ridge racer series on psp and it would have blown my mind if i would have bought ridge racer 64 as a child.
I wont deny that playstation had more good games than nintendo 64, but i was a kid with limited money so getting 2-4 amazing games each year worked perfectly for me.
Bring back pilotwings, f zero, wave race, 1080 and diddy kong racing nintendo!!!
I was lucky as I had a CD burner, a chipped ps1 and a rental store that did ps1 games for £1 for 24 hours 😂
Destruction Derby 64 does have a pretty crazy long draw distance considering.
I’d have taken fog to get that frame rate up
I had Nightmare Creatures and Nuclear Strike on the PS JamPak disc and they were both awesome! Never got the actual game but I always went back to play as much as I could.
I would love to see Banjo Kazooie on PS. Imagine how more in depth it could've been and detailed it could've been. But if it was, it probably would be reviewed as just another Spyro/Crash clone. Still N64 gave it (and many other titles) their charm..Croc on N64 would've been cool
Ridge Racer 64, it's physiques intriguing, and track design challenging, warranted a steap learning curve, but a game that would be a welcome addition to the Switch online service.
I find that drifting where one maneuvers in a complete 360, as you corner, once mastered, becomes second nature, to say the least, to me this is unique to Ridge Racer.
I think it would've been Cool with Croc, Pandemonium and Klonoa each had a Version of their Games for the N64
@RockManLP_Radio Well I already knew that
Not much people talk about it.But there was 1 game I liked that got canceled for the N64.I’m talking about “Jazz Jackrabbit 3”.Originaly the first two games came on Dos/Windows 95 and 98.Created by Cliff blizinski (Gears of war)and Arjen Bruce(Killzone).They couldn’t find a publisher.An almost forgotten Classic what a shame...!
Playcontrol on Wipeout 64 wipes the floor to any other Wipeout -game on any system.
Shame it didn't quite push the system visually, as it used engine from PSone -game.
Ridge Racer Type 4 is the best game on PlayStation. It is one of the few games that have N64 -quality gameplay. While RR64 is faster to race, type 4 has better, wider tracks. I love everything on that game (type 4), even menus & career mode presentation.
(N64 - version might use the same engine as type 4, as it lacks N64 style effects like lens flares, while having that same motion blur on replays)
Both, Wipeout 64 & Ridge Racer 64 had (ofcourse) more vehicles on screen at once than on PSone, but that is not necessary way to make a better gaming experience.
Destruction Derby -games are mess on Playstation. Pop-up, screen tearing, distortion, - you name it. Those games are just not for me. I don't even care N64-version, that is technically far superior. So in theory, N64 -version might actually be underrated, but i don't care.
I also don't care that Nightmare Creatures 2 on N64 that was not released in Europe. I would much rather had O.D.T, but Sony declined simultaneous PSone/N64 release of the finished game from Psygnosis.
For some reason i liked a lot that earlier Strike -game on SNES, but isometric games felt, well, somewhat old on N64. More like GBA stuff, in my opinion.
It was surprice that Resident Evil 2 and Micro Machines 64 were released on N64, though.
But what the hell happened to Mini Racers, that i would much rather had...
Did you know that the N64 version of Ridge Racer wasn't released in Japan? I always thought that was strange as they really pushed the Japanese angle of that game. The N64 sales in Japan were very low by that point so it makes sense if you think about it.
Yeah but also how popular the franchise is in Japan and also they’re kinda the kings for drifting which the game heavily requires
It seems before the Gamecube era Nintendo never published their western made games in Japan, aside from most of their Rareware stuff.
@@oscarzxn4067 Pokémon Puzzle League is another game that strangely did not get released in Japan. I wouldn't give Nintendo credit for Rare's games though!
I'm convinced the N64 could've hosted an excellent version of R-Type Delta (minus the Redbook audio soundtrack).
I think so too
Wipeout for the Amiga, wow, learn something new everyday! I wonder how well it would run with one of those new vampire accelerator cards you can buy that supercharges the old A1200.
It requires a PowerPC accelerator and a 3d graphic card is recommended . But it runs pretty smoothly
Great video I thought Toy Story Racer would have been on the N64 as well.
Kings field on n64 would be sick would have been easy to port too the music was what took up all the disc space
Yeah there’s many like that!
I really wish Nicktoons Racing got a N64 release. Aside from the animated opening, there’s nothing that couldn’t be done on N64 and it got a GBC and GBA release so it’s not out of the realm of possibility to want a N64 version
Who knows maybe one day someone will make a mod or be able to port it
The Strike series is an EA franchise. It was on almost all the systems: Megadrive, SNES, Amiga, Saturn, GB, GBA, Master System, Game Gear, Atari Lynx and PC.... I never thought it was a PS1 franchise...
Oh me either, as I mentioned we played the heck out of the series but when it comes to strike the fact that we didn’t get soviet at all and even nuclear was much later than the ps1 I always see it as being more of a ps1 franchise than one on n64
Wait, what? WipeOut 2097 was out on the Amiga. Mind = blown.
I know right! And it runs and looks awesome - there’s a CZcams video I looked up too as I hardly believed it….and it’s not even wipeout 1 it’s 2097!
Great video 👍
Thank you
I loved nightmare creatures as a kid on n64. Never got to play the 2nd one
And the third was cancelled too
I have to lord it over you, that's 42% of the fun of lording
🙇♂️
The tony hawks pro skater games seemed like ps1 exclusives because of the cool factor and the music soundtrack
Well, since Toshinden was another ps1 game also released on the Saturn, maybe they could've made a Toshinden game for the N64. Could've given the N64 another decent fighting game.
Was one of the first ps1 games I rented! That and kileak the blood 😄
Big Ridge Racer Fan here🏎️🔥✨I hope one day they will bring it back! I remember wanting Yoshi's story & got RR64 instead for my B day back then & was upset at first but quickly change my mind lol Fell in love with it🤣
Yeah Wipeout I never got to play for the N64 but played on PlayStation. It's a great series too,
Great video as always! Have a wonderful day ☺️ And yes I agree I'd move Metal Gear series over to the N64 lol my all-time favorite series
What’s your fav ridge racer?
@@n64glennplant Well since I started with RR64 it's got strong nostalgia power. & The Most special place in my heart.
But also I think I'd have to go with Ridge Racer type 4/ 7 & RR 3D It's hard to pick just one lol 😂
Man I didn't even know wipeout was for anything BUT n64. Loved that game. FLAME ON!
i love your work glenn!
Thank you I appreciate that
I found Ridge Racist 64 very challenging due to its Reese Bobby-like gameplay. Never played Wipebutt 64. I avoided Nucular Strike 64 because the dev made Worrisome Rash 64, but I might take another look at it. Nightmare Teachers was good (it is a shame that prerendered cutscenes were not remade from game engine).
yay new video😃🎉 Micro Machines on N64 is pretty good even with the framerate issues it got on multiplayer🙂
I’ll keep em coming!
@@n64glennplant you're a genius😃😆
Sega Saturn also has a fantastic port of the WipeOut.
I never had it when I had a Saturn
Any Ace Combat would have been fun on N64. Especially had they leaned into 4 controller multiplayer or just 2 player co-op. Star Fox Assault and Ace Combat Advance unfortunately is the closest we got (unless you count Sky Crawlers on Wii).
On the other side, I think Sucker Punch leaving to do Sly Cooper on PS2 was the GameCubes biggest lose after Rocket RoW on N64.
Mega Man 64 (which is essentially just a port of Mega Man Legends) and Resident Evil 2 are two games I 100% associated with PlayStation more as they had multiple games on that platform but it was really a surprise to see these in cartridge form for the N64. While Mega Man 64 is a slight disappointing in its 3D control and gameplay, Resident Evil 2 on N64 was fantastic with its atmosphere, presentation, and smooth stellar gameplay from scene to scene.
For me, Resident Evil was the game I never expected on the N64
That’s a big one too
I agree with the list, but I’m definitely missing Resident Evil 2 and Vigilante 8.
Vig8 is funny as I always see it as an n64 game and twisted metal as the ps1 game
i'm suprised that you didn't mention Resident Evil 2 or Mega Man 64 :O
Both shouts but I think of them both as multi platform myself but the games on this list were the more surprising ones for me
If you include games that were not first one PlayStation but still came out on it before the N64 then Command & Conquer would be a good one.
C and c is always a pc game for me 😄
You can't forget Resident Evil 2, came on I think, the biggest cart on the N64
That one I always think of as a multi platform game, it was a shock to see it arrive but since then I always remember it as being on diff platforms
@@n64glennplant I know, but initially it was a PS only game and quite a surprise. Later years on different Nintendo formats, other games such as Sonic Advance, Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Ghost Babel (although it started as an Nintendo franchise) would have the same vibe...
How many games do you have left to review?
About 20 for n64 released in west
@@n64glennplant Awesome! I've been watching from close to the start and I can't wait until you've completed! Keep it up!
A mate and I played LAN Destruction Derby 1 on PlayStation. It was good fun. I also liked the N64 game, although it was very different to that.
I think nowadays Switch & PC covers almost everything. Before you'd miss out on tons of stuff if you only had one or even two systems. Among Dreamcast/GameCube/PS2/Xbox the only one you could really get away ignoring was Xbox.
Great point
By the time Wipeout 64 dropped, Psygnosis got bought out by Sony, thus resulting in later installments being exclusive to PlayStation consoles onward. Around that time, I've heard about Wipeout 3 on the PS1. Wipeout 64 was definitely a solid game nonetheless, and the graphics were nice to me.
I disagree with you on RR64. It was definitely a solid gaming experience to me. The graphics on that one looked like something on the Dreamcast. But the engine noise of some of the cars sounded like 18-wheelers or a city transit bus. A few of them sounded like actual V-8 engines of a car. I still, for the life of me, can't beat the Ridge Racer Extreme Extra track. Reiko Nagase from RR Type 4 is basically featured on there for in-game advertising via menus. But RR Type 4 is my favorite in the franchise. I also loved RR3D on the 3DS and RRV on PS2. I can also say that R: Racing Evolution on 6th gen consoles would be a good addition to the Ridge Racer franchise even though they used licensed cars.
Nightmare Creatures definitely gives me nightmares, which in all honesty, I played the game in the dark.
Nice list.
I wonder if Glenn has played every n64 title?
Yup he has 😄
Poor Wipeout 64.
It's arguably the most technically impressive Wipeout of that generation, running a full 60fps instead of the PS1's 30fps - and had the fastest gameplay of that gen.
But it was no match for F-Zero, so it went one-and-done on Nintendo systems.
What happened to “the new drifting style” handles like a dream in Ridge Racer 64?
It’s swings and round abouts. Like all the RR series I think if you stop playing for a while you can quickly loose the skills needed for it. I probably haven’t played RR since I reviewed it years ago now. Once you “get” it then it can be fun but going back trying to basically start new is tedious
@@n64glennplant I am playing Type 4 on Vita, and drifting is really cool, challenging, but immediately satisfying. I also couldn’t get the flow in RR64, but only tried the new method…
Maybe revolution style is more similar?
The two firsts WipeOut was on the Saturn too....
Yeah but seeing wipeout 2097 with an official Amiga release in that year is mind blowing
@@n64glennplant Oh, yeah! 👍
I forgot to mention what PSone game i would had wanted to N64...
My answer is Chrono Cross.
I *STILL* Wonder to this day If Final Fantasy 7 was actually kinda possible on the N64.
I mean normally the answer would be NO, but If you Look at amazing Games Like Resident Evil 2 on N64, the Question becomes rather difficult to answer.... 😶
Maybe without all the fmv for sure
@@n64glennplant i guess Key FMV's Like the Intro and Weapon FMV's + the ending Sequence could have been Made possible
I wonder if anyone has done a breakdown on what's taking up all the disc space in FF7. Like Resident Evil 2, it has multiple discs, but most/all of the game world has to be included on each disc, so a lot of it is redundant.
Also, while you might think the music would be an issue, it wouldn't. The entire soundtrack is just 700 KB (including all the vocals in One-Winged Angel), whereas many N64 games devote 2 MB or more to music.
@@3dmarth true The OST would be possible via compression, the only real Problem are all the FMV',s of which there are *MANY* 😐
@@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701 No, I mean the OST is already smaller than most N64 OSTs, even without any extra compression or downgrades!
A PSone game I would have LOVED to have seen on the N64 was Thrasher: Skate & Destroy. It was a more realistic skateboarding game than Tony Hawk's Pro Skater & was developed by Z-AXIS & Rockstar Games... you know, the same Rockstar Games behind Body Harvest, Space Station Silicon Valley & of course Grand Theft Auto... In Thrasher there is a time limit & if you go past 0 a cop, homeless dude, or even an angry dog will chase your punk-ass with a weapon & the camera goes to a 1st person view from the chaser's perspective. Although the soundtrack would have had to been compressed & it was rap music [which I can't stand AT ALL], it would have been interesting to see how Rockstar would have pulled all of this off on a N64 cartridge. the controls would have had to be re-worked because Thrasher required the 4 shoulder buttons to perform spins & more advanced grind, flip, grab & manual tricks. It might have worked, it might not have, who knows? but I would have LOVED a Thrasher 64 & in fact, a Game Boy Color port was planned but eventually cancelled.
Ha I don’t know how I’ve never heard of that game until now!
2:36 Wipeout has always had analog control thanks to namco controller for the ps1
Yes but the negcon wasn’t common especially here in the UK
Ridge racer remember that one
Ridge racerrrrr racerrrr
Hate to disagree Glen but Ridge Racer is one of my favourites on the N64. Absolutely loved it back in the day and still put it on every now and then.
Gran Turismo would be the PS game I would love to see on Nintendo 64. I rented so many “GT Killers” and all of them disappointed me deeply
World driver championship was probably the closest - you ever play that?
@@n64glennplant I did, no licensed cars was a deal breaker to me
But of course I’m going to rewatch your review now. Keep up the good work!
Had Nintendo given developers better dev kits, tools and instructions on how to deal with the limited texture cache on the N64. I believe we would have seen more PS1 titles make the jump to the system. Having said that I'm still amazed at what we got.
It depends on what you prefer.
On the N64 you have sharper Visuals due to the higher Processing Power, but
I personally prefer the more pixelated visuals of the psx which didnt made it so aparrent how low res the textures are even though textures are looking much better on the PSX.
I thought the main reason why the PS1 had better textures was just that PS1 games came in CD, while N64's cartridges didn't have much space in comparison to a CD, so less space available: lower resolution textures.
@@krorook9221The onboard 4KB texture memory was the main reason why textures appeared so blurry, rather than the choice of format selected. Had they fit at least 16KB or 32KB, textures would’ve been much cleaner. The reason why there wasn’t a larger onboard texture memory had to do with a significantly larger chip with added power consumption.
Resident evil 2 was the game for me, the first 3 always felt like a PlayStation trilogy. Even though the first was on the Saturn
Resident Evil 2 on N64. One of the greatest games of all time.
I wish Resident Evil 1 got a port to the N64
Me too, would clearly have been possible
I would put No Mercy (and Revenge) on the PS1 as it could have happened and would have worked great with CD audio. Imagine Smackdown with the entrances and proper soundtrack but with No Mercy in ring that's what I'm driving at.
That would be cool, always loved smack down too though as it played very uniquely
@@n64glennplant You ever watch OSW Review on here? L1 finisher
Really would have liked Resident Evil 3 on the 64 since 2 was possible i believe that they could make it work too
As someone who's always been a Nintendo fan and never owned a Playstation(of any kind) I still see Resident Evil 2, Wipeout and Ridge Racer as PS games.
Yeah it’s so strange we got the game in the very small window when it was possible back then
@@n64glennplant Destruction Derby also. I feel this game in particular is best played on a Playstation. The N64 didn't do it right imo.
I longed for a Polyphony Gran Turismo on the 64. No idea if it ever could’ve worked 🤷♂️
It would work but may feature less vehicles and tracks.
Honestly for most of my life Nuclear strike was the only entry from the franchise I knew of, lol.
Would have liked to see Final Fantasy and Need for Speed on N64.
If try to avoid the big and famous franchises I would love a good fighting on The N64 and I think -Kensei Sacred fist- could really shine on the Nintendo hardware due to the lack of somewhat realistic fighting games
I think most realistic was probably fighters destiny 2
@@n64glennplantwe never got it in our pal territories....😭
Surprised Resident evil 2 didn't get a mention
The PS1 Frogger games on N64 would've been nice.
They were going to put Frogger 2 on N64, but didn't, I hear.
