- John Madden NFL Football Series review on the Nintendo 64.
My Facebook Page - / glenntendo
Recorded using an Ultra HDMI modded N64 console with an Elgato game capture HD60s capture card using a real game cartridge.
So who's looking forward to the N64 Mini Classic console and do you think this will end up on it? What do you think the top 5 or top 10 NFL football games of all time are? Like me do you love more arcade like football games like NFL Blitz from Midway or do you like simulations like Acclaim's NFL Quarterback Club series? - Hry
Back in the day, I was dumb enough to lend WaveRace64 to a neighbor kid in exchange for a Madden game. The next day he tells me that my video game was stolen from his house but "no problemo, because I can keep his awesome Madden cartridge."
Oh boy, was I pissed. My mom had to go talk to his mom... turns out the sucker still had my video game!
Wtf. Madden was a great game
I hope you slapped him!
Did you get it back?
That's bullshit... And a horrible friend!! Asshole!!!
Ain't that some shit someone happened to steal it, during the time he was borrowing it lol
I've finally done it. I've watched all 293 of your N64 game reviews on your playlist, in order. I started this journey 6 months ago, watching 1 or 2 videos a day on my lunch break at work as I smoke Newports. You've become a part of my routine and I thank you for all the hard work you put into these. Now I must move on and find other videos to watch each day, but I've grown accustomed to hearing your calming British voice each day on my break as I sit outside and relax. Thank you, Glenn. 😊
Haha thanks that means a lot. You know I’ll be back soon enough doing what I love here, just going through a bad patch right now and need some time away but I’ll return in the coming months so thanks for sticking with me 🙏🏼
I feel totally identified with your comment. I took this journey during the pandemic and it has become a nice routine.
BROWN NOSSER MUCH!?!?
@@weskarp7643 Stop hating!
This channel is pure nostalgia joy
haha thank you :)
When you picked the Buccaneers for Madden 2000, you just brought back so many childhood memories for me.
haha I do pick random teams sometimes, have no clue
I got my n64 and madden 99 on Christmas and I played the heck out of it..even updated the rosters for 2 years until I got madden 2001 which I loved and madden 2002 played those until I got a Xbox lol then it was 2k5 then football games went downhill from there
you know your football games by the sounds of it!
It ultra sucks that EA decided to be ultra greedy as fuck and buy the NFL Exclusive Rights so that no other developer or publisher can try to compete against EA's Madden games or even make NFL games in general, which includes no more ESPN NFL 2K games or even NFL Blitz after late 2004, which sucks ultra balls (I bet you Glenn would have wanted to see a modern NFL Blitz game on the PS4 or Xbox One or the Nintendo Switch).
Nowadays, the Madden franchise is SO greedy and so terrible that you might as well just go back and play ESPN NFL 2K5, NFL Blitz, or even some old Madden games to get your 🏈 fix; and also thanks to the ESPN NFL 2K5 community you can literally update the NFL team rosters to the current ones on your computer, which I highly recommend to do so instead of spending money on the next cashgrab Madden game.
The Madden Football 64 intro is incredible.
yeah I was disappointed they didn't have a long one for every year like they did with 64
The Golden days when EA actually supported nintendo with madden.... I wish the switch can get madden but its good to know that I can always get a classic madden fix on the n64. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to make this video.👍
and thanks for taking time to watch Leroy!
The last time a Nintendo console had a Madden game was Madden 13 on the Wii U. It’s unfortunate, but it’s even more unfortunate that the last good Madden was Madden 12. I would rather have no Nintendo support but good games than bad titles with Nintendo support. We aren’t getting either right now…
Madden on the n64 is loads of fun even today.
Some are 👍
I found this channel 3 days ago and im 4 years in already lmao great videos man.
haha welcome! hope you're enjoying
Played this game so much I still remember the buttons to my 3 favorite plays
As big of a Madden fan I was in the early 2000s, I never played an N64 version of it. I played them on Playstation and PS2, I was more into the WWF games on N64.
yeah the n64 and wrestling games are on fire
Madden 64 was definitely my fav and I still go back to play here and there. I never thought to check out any further n64 maddens though. Great video and I really enjoy your storytelling!
thanks Robert - always more on the way
Madden 2002 is actually my favorite on N64. The tweaks while small are good (mostly the kick meter) and I love madden classic as a change of pace
Hey thanks! Great video and I love seeing videos of N64 games
Thanks for watching it’s appreciated
OH MY GOD CONTENT, SWEET, SWEET CONTENT
Thanks 👍
Great review, Glenn! I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time.
My favorite has got to be the original Madden 64. Since there was no franchise mode, my brothers and I would play season after season creating ourselves and then keeping track of all of our stats for multiple seasons. Like, I’m talking about writing this stuff down on paper! The gameplay is so damn solid in it. We did get 99 at some point, though. While I liked the visual upgrades and the ability to juke as a runner, I felt the passing game wasn’t as good there.
Recently I picked up the remaining titles and have been screwing around with them. Still, my memories with Madden 64 keep me going back to that one.
Again, great review, Glenn. Keep up the great work!
Also, I loved the commentary, or rather lack thereof. Madden would let out some really good one liners in 64. “Follow your lead blocker stupid!” And “Those coordinators are getting so bored they’re eating hotdogs up in the press box!” Lolz
thanks Danny :)
Glad to see you back!!
Was back with last weeks wwf video 😬
@@n64glennplant oof
Great video. I preferred my football games on the PlayStation but always like to hear about the n64 sports games.
You’re in the right place then!
I picked up madden 64 for $1 at a local game shop. Pretty fun. But yeah I like 16bit Madden 95 on Genesis way more. I'll have to keep an eye out for the later madden football games on 64 now. Great video, hope you do more! Thanks!
NHL95 for life!
It's so strange how you fire off this nostalgia trigger in me every time, Glenn. I had zero interest in American Football as a child but I remember being enamoured by Madden 64 on some VHS tape I picked up in 1997 or 1998. I remember those tapes being such an effective marketing tool; I was desperate to get Dark Rift for goodness sake!
Haha well I never stooped as low to be itching to get dark rift 😂😬
Welcome back!
Was back last week 😬
Your Videos Are Juz Flawless😍😍😍
I have problems but hey I do this for fun rather than trying to be a full time content creator, id never want to go that route
@@n64glennplant At Least You Aren't Like IGN😊😊😊
Excellent video Glenn, as always.
You know which is the best video game in the world? The one you enjoy the most!
never a truer word said :)
I don’t know anything about American Football but this is still interesting. The magic of Glenn’s way.
N64 GLENN PLANT IS MY FAVOURITE CHANNEL ON CZcams
Thanks Jason
I only played Madden 96 for Snes during the 16 bit Era and loved it. I'm a nfl fan, but for some reason I completely ignored the football games when I first got my N64. I remember I first got Madden 2001 on pc only because it was dirt cheap in a store. I remember thinking how realistic it looked, and took a lot to get use to using a keyboard as a controller. Eventually I got sick of using a.keyboard and got Madden 2001 for the n64 and became a yearly Madden buyer after that. Create a player option was just too fun.
I played the hell out of Madden 64 back in the day, mainly as I don’t think the following 4 N64 Madden games ever came out in the UK, and if they did it was in very small numbers!
It taught me the rules of the NFL and is a big reason why it’s been my 2nd favourite sport ever since, along with the Broncos winning the Super Bowl around the same time I picked the game up!
I was lucky as I never seemed to have a problem picking up American sports titles in the market town where I lived
N64 Glenn Plant I remember trying ‘Special Reserve’ and a few other mail order companies back in the day, to no avail. I never found any PAL SNES Maddens where I live either (having looked around Worcester and the Merry Hill shopping centre in Dudley many times!)
I got the US N64 version of Madden 2001 and an adapter but the game never clicked for me and I went back to playing Madden 64 after about a month.
Love the channel btw, it’s one of the reasons I keep considering the N64 HDMI mod, but at £300 it’s a little too pricey for me at the moment.
Great video as always and thanks for the reply!
great review
Thanks sonic
@@n64glennplant np
Madden 1997 1998 on ps1 which uses 2d sprites on 3d stadiums are some of my all time versions of madden NFL
I’ll have to look at that
@@n64glennplant for sure
I remember the first time I saw playstation Madden running at toys r us and was blown away.
@@Zeitgeistmusic997 cool
I started with Madden during the PS2 era with Madden NFL 2003. As I compared the older Madden games on CZcams both for PS1 and N64 I have to say that the N64 graphics looks much better to me.
I’d agree with that for sure 👍
I find it interesting that these football games can be talked about from various perspectives.
We can talk about what it was like at the time, which you do a fine job of.
We can talk about how well they hold up today, which is what the Madden community does with the more recent titles being garbage and looking to play retro Madden titles on the SNES, PS2 and Xbox 360.
We can also talk about American football gaming as a whole.
While it is fair to say that, for a full price game, Madden 2001 was not worth buying to replace Madden 2000, there is no denying that 2001 looked and played better, and was an improvement if you skipped 2000 and were still playing 99 or even moving from Madden 98 on the SNES. Similarly, Madden 2001 does a fine job of looking and playing like a less powerful version of its PS2 counterpart for those who didn't or couldn't shell out for a new console.
If you, or anyone else reading this enjoys video game football and is sick of the most recent installments by EA (Madden 20-22) and want to go back to when the franchise was well made and fun to play, I can suggest the following titles:
Madden 05-08 on the PS2 or Xbox Classic and Madden 12 & 25 (14, but it was named 25 for the 25th anniversary of the game). I have heard that Madden 15/16 are solid on the PS4. It was 18-current where the game has become so buggy and unplayable for the last half decade.
Glenn how far off are you from finishing the full N64 library along side reviews? Hope you come back soon and start tackling them again soon. We miss your work
Think there’s about 30 or so remaining
I have a soft spot for Madden 2000. It was the last Madden with Dan Marino. 2002 has franchise mode though.
Dan Marino 😂
People have said they hated QB club 98 on N64 but I enjoyed it and still have a go sometimes.I guess some passes do hang quite a while and runnings tough but I remember how real it looked at first when it launched.A buddy came over and thought I had a real game on tv lol
5:45 the player in center of huddles jersey changes number to a 4 lol. This little buggy feature still remains in Maddens today where grass stains appear and disappear sometimes lol. I love Madden games though.
Never was a fan of sports games, though I might try these games out as they seem fun. Great review as always Glenn!
Thanks Tim, play blitz instead if you’re casual nfl fan
@@n64glennplant sounds good, thanks for the recommendation!
Awesomeness
which one was your fav In the series?
RIP John madden
Madden 64 was actually the first American football game I ever played (I mostly passed on sports games in the NES/SNES days, except NBA Jam TE and Ken Griffey Jr’s Winning Run - the latter mostly for its at-the-time amazing graphics). I remember having a blast with the game but being disappointed with its graphics. I didn’t play any of the later N64 Maddens but did pick up Madden 2002 for the PS1 (yes, PS1 - Madden Classic, baby!).
I too rarely play modern sports games aside from FIFA at work with colleagues
Madden 2002 for n64. Sooo many intense games with my bros. Even to this day
not moved onto the latest ones yet?
@@n64glennplant My bros and I enjoyed the old engines of madden. The n64 ones, and the ps2 engine ones. The newer engine is so animation based. Its just not fun. I enjoy the speed of madden 2002 n64 most. You?
N64 Glenn Plant .. Latest ones are terrible... PS2 days were the last good Madden games ...
@@n64glennplant the modern maddens are awful. Like the other guys said it's basically a classic game at this point for ps2 and n64 owners.
I didn't play Madden at all on the N64 i stuck with NFL blitz and blitz 2000
Yea! Blitz FTW!
that makes much more sense haha
I did tell several people the fact u mentioned in this video that at the time acclaim had exclusive rights to the nfl license at the time
Yeah it’s crazy when you think of how powerful EA are now with licenses
@@n64glennplant yes definitely. About a couple of weeks ago I picked up a ps2 copy brand new factory sealed of madden nfl 2002 10 bucks and its still sealed and also i own a brand new factory sealed madden nfl 2007. Ps3 which was only 99 cents
Hey Glenn, when are you going to review Earthbound 64.
When Nintendo send me a free copy 😂
@@n64glennplant Haha, keep up the good work Glenn. 😆👍
I used to play madden 64 all the time. I didn't really like it, but back then you just played the handful of games you had
yeah its like make the most of what you got rather than playing whatever the hell you wanted to
@@n64glennplant it gave you a chance to really get to know games though. some games you might not have liked at first, but then grow to love.
Can you do the NBA Live series next?
See what I can do 👍
R.I.P. John Madden.
Amen to that
Oof, that '99 framerate is pretty bad. I suppose they didn't implement a low-res mode? At least the later versions seem somewhat solid.
Yeah it’s one of the few instances where you can actually see EA listening to feedback and making changes people were asking for
The way it looked miles better than the playstation version no load times but the clunk A.I. and lack if commentary. But then came madden 99 which to me was the definitive version of n64 madden that made the playstation version look like a 16 bit game
Yeah I personally think it really developed as a system best on n64
10:46 wtf is this transition lmao
Haha love it
N64 Glenn Plant I laughed lol. Great stuff as always 👊
You ever run into the field goal post before the opposing team kicks their extra point? If not try it. If you do it right it's really easy to block their kick.
nope id have no idea why I would do that as I don't play too many football games
@@n64glennplant there is no reason to do it necessarily, I found it out one time by accident and have done it basically every time I play now. It flattens you like a pancake and you can slide your character around the field after that. They seem to move faster, and you can get through the line quicker to block the kick.
I am wondering which Madden NFL game and NFL Quarterback game to pick for the Nintendo 64 since I do have the console and NFL Blitz, and some 🏈 friends of mine would like to try out the old 🏈 games sometime down the line and compare them (especially since nowadays EA's Madden has become nothing but a reskinned money milking cash cow masquerading as a fully licensed NFL football game which uses the Ultimate Team game mode to get lots of money from players).
Since I am going for 1 entry per franchise in these two, which Madden NFL and NFL Quarterback games do you recommend I pick?
I had them all and kept Madden 64 . I felt it had more novelty than the others
2001 gets my vote out of the group!!Jacksonville jaguars was my team of choice.im going with the 01 for 1 reason and thats L1 AND R1 juke buttons in kick off returns.. correct me if I'm wrong but I think that was the blue cartridge🤔🤔🤔
it was if im correct also
I used to get the Madden games but it's now all the same so I renounced Madden for the fast paced arcade style of NFL Blitz also Go Colts
I much prefer the speed and gameplay of blitz too
Wow. It’s hard to believe it use to be like this. Look how far Madden has come, it now has MUT.
yeah its come a long way right
I remember it being so weird the uniforms weren’t the actual ones when my dad and I got this on launch
Mutant League Football will always be my favorite American football game, but NFL Blitz 2001 is a close second.
what a classic that is hey!
you should do a video series of the NFL QB Club series because each game differs in quality by a lot with 99 being the best and with 2001 being one of the worst
Is there a bug? The players seem to keep snapping back to where they were 2 minutes ago
Great vid. But I don’t think Madeline was ever on the Dreamcast
nah EA had the big withdrawal which is why they didn't
I was a ps1 guy at the time. Madden 64 looks like a combination of ps1 madden 98 and ps1 madden 99
Is the final video ever for n64?
Nope around 30 or so more to get through
Cool game
I'm going to say " I don't have a scoobie" rather than " I have no effing idea". I like that turn of phrase
haha its Australian I think
I played the crap out of Tecmo Super Bowl 3 (the best football game at the time) on Super NES and I was hoping for a sequel on N64. Sadly, that never happened, so I had to get either Madden 64 or QB Club 98. The great marketing leading up to the release of QB Club 98 sold me on that game and I bought it day one and I was happy with the game. I didn’t care about Madden 64 due to no NFL license. Then my friend at work told me that Madden 64 was better because the tackling was more realistic , which was something that I never would have paid attention to had he not said anything. So I rented Madden 64 and I found he was right, QB Club 98’s tackling was trash compared to Madden 64. Despite this, the next year I bought QB Club 99 but I found the game to have a lot of glitches; the most annoying was that the game would freeze often requiring you to restart. After a couple months I ended up trading it for Madden 99 and I was much happier with that game.
Nothing worse than when a game freezes up!
I have all of john madden games for the n 64 exept .madden 64 . due to madden 64 not having the NFL license
Interesting to hear from
Someone who didn’t get it for that reason
@@n64glennplant yeah i did not like sports games until the year 1997 same year i got into sports and the then powerful ps1 hardware blew gamers away like myself with its sports titles like NFL game day 1998 first NFL game on ps1 to use 3d polygonal graphics and NFL game day 1997 1998 are my all time favorite versions of all time
NFL Quarterback Club was actually the more popular franchise for Nintendo at that time
@@TRJ2241987 yeah sure was NFL quarterback club in my opinion is one of the football games on the n64 that has aged quite well
I feel like N64 games lost their “early 3d” charm as the years went by. The Madden games seem like a good example of that. The last few games just look like scaled back versions of a Dreamcast game (which is what they are).
Might sound strange but I liked Madden on the SNES a lot more. Quarterback club had much better graphics.
Madden 99 was released 7 31 1998 ps1 you had to wait until September 1998 to get the n64 version
Was quite common here in the UK for the sports titles to be released on diff dates so we were used to it
@@n64glennplant i see. When i waa growing up NFL blitz was very popular on the n64 and yes it was that great of a game. Madden 99 was so hard hittin great that as a kid i would have asked for madden 99 as a birthday gift then get NFL blitz for xmas
Who tf likes sports games?
But still another great video glennn!
haha considering how many copies of Fifa and madden get sold every year quite a lot it would seem
Quick toss
Madden 2001's blue cartridge gets my vote
NFL QB Club next? :D
already did one or maybe two in the past I think
N64 Glenn Plant oh! I must check them then.
The fact that I chose Madden 2001 over NFL blitz 2001
Glenn can you do a shadows of the empire play through?
Maybe one day 👍
Madden 64 was my favorite
God every player looks so fat in these games 😂 Nice work Glenn! Be sure to check out my Raiders when they come to play a game in the UK 😉
If they ever have a game in the north 😬
Please review Paper Mario
He did a couple of livestreams on it a few months ago.
One day ☝️
VampireLord1024 not the same as a review
@@n64glennplant I finally got Paper Mario this Tuesday in CEX but haven't gotten around to playing it yet
Never played these games, but pretty sure it just was of those cartridges that showed up then disappeared.
I think that will be the case for many others also
I remember when I was playing games like ocarina of time and mario 64 my brother would be playing madden, wrestling,and baseball.
Diverse gaming in your household it seems!
@@n64glennplant absolutely lol. Of course if we did want to play 2 player it was Mario kart/party and goldeneye.
Am not a fan of sports games but am I have no problem of EA they make as many sports games as long as they like for all I care. The problem I have with EA which everyone agrees with I don't they monopolies the NFL license so that won't be any competition against them. Without competition there products will become stale and will hurt them in the long run.
Another thing it is sad what EA has become they use to make good games that everyone can enjoy back in the 4th-6th generations of consoles. Now by the time they gone everyone is going to only remember them for the bad things they did.
P.S. What is your opinion on the Madden games on the GameCube though Wii U?
Yeah I actually remember when they were a good company - sob
@@n64glennplant Me too :(
Ahh back when microtransactions didnt exist
NFL quarterback for 64 was OK !!
yeah I liked it
I loved it as a kid
Thought you left forever
Not took a break and came back last week with the wwf video
You know a console is at the end of it's lifespan if Madden isn't coming out on it anymore.
FOOTBALL!!!
and more football!
B 🔽 down down 🔽. Best play in the game.
boom - score
This is Madden 20’s artificial intelligence and game play logic right here. Nothing has changed but the graphics and animations. These games were fun to play at the time.
I havnt played a new madden since og Xbox era myself
Quarterback club
So madden gets outshined everytime someone gets a chance
Aaaand madden still has the same sidelines
😂
If you didn't put the cam on the golden eye first person and try to play like a real QB. You never played madden on 64
Or you had very little interest in American football 😂
For us in Europe, baseball and american football games have 0 impact and interest .
we had gamecube in afganastan and 2002 madden
remember what part of the world your selling stuff and where your buyers are at, ps2's dont ship easy in army foot lockers
i hoasted the smash brothers tornament
i packed a controlelr to play tekken and never saw a ps2 on tour
EA *spit* No forgiveness!
lolz
This game looks so terrible that its a masterpiece and I can't help but watch this video lol 😂😂😂
We’ve come a long way from 64bit sports games hey 😬
@@n64glennplant word lol I remember when this was new cutting edge video gaming hahahahaha
theres another part to understand as a Packers fan or bengals fan. Quarterback club has the better box cover with the best touchdown pic Farve Ever threw, and its a throw that beat the bengals......
haha you know your stuff then
Dang, I'm early.
👍😬
@@n64glennplant 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Madden 64 is the truth.
