I remember thinking this was the most realistic looking water I had ever seen and nothing could ever get better.
To be fair, the water effects were pretty damn good, especially considering the resolution.
They were, and I think they still holds up to this day.
lol wow me to
Can you (or anybody) point out a game with better water physics?
Me too LOL
Back in the day when games politely ask you to select shit...
The “please” was an odd inclusion lol
lol 😂
I remember being blown away by the graphics
@wjveryzer7985 I still am. Along with everything else. Like the Spirit of the game, the handling & the tight soundtrack.
The water was insanely accurate for its time
Me too
I’d buy the soundtrack
I swear this game had better graphics in 2004, I can’t prove it, but I swear it did.
I was 15 in 96 and my Dad got me N64 with Wave race for Xmas, brings back good memories, Thanks Dad
Your dad is the best
My parents diddn't had much to spend back in the days, so my father worked overtime to buy us the NES, SNES and N64. Thanks dad.
@@FireFoxCosworth great father 🙏
Same age as me.
I swear that woman’s voice is relaxing lol “welcome to; sunset bay.”
THIS GAME WAS THE SHIT!!!! All the nostalgia just hit me in less than five seconds. I used to play this game when I was around five or six years old and it was just one of my favourite games of all time. I could spend days on end playing this game it was just so incredible.
I was 18 already lol
Yes When Race was the coolest game I still have that game
😎✨

Wow
I was 16 and had 10+k in the bank.i was a heavy equipment operator already in life,I had a honda 250 atc, honda civic, snowmobile,etc,,and lots of cash to buy games or any toys I wanted,,i remember waverace and Mario64 being title releases on first day so I got those, it was a Monday in Canada,but my mom got me a n64 on Sunday night, of course I was not at school Monday,good times,
@@jaythedrifter me too chap 😂😂
Still loved it though
"Select your water craft, please"
“Select your course please”
_Select your water craft, please._
Nnng... That definitely was aiming below the belt, so smooth.
In my memory this game was virtual ocean reality. Crazy how time changes things.
Was thinking the same just now. In my memory the oceans looked so real. Now I see it... hard to believe.
@@zankiohex It still does
This video made me cry. All the memories. :)
Mr Maaark I swear I'm crying right now.
Shut yo sensitive ass up
Nvm im crying too
Back when life was so easy 😭
I too cried with the video. It remembered me to my father when is here with me.
Crazy how most people that watch this now, all get the same feeling. As soon as the intro started it immediately felt like I was in a time machine. I remember playing this game at my grandma's house on her 64. Just makes me miss her even more. She's the reason I even got into video games. R.I.P grandma.
When I heard the intro I was like ;-; childhood feels
+B Sailor dude i nearly cried.
Gabriel Rivera I know right. I used to play this all the time until my skin on my finger used to rub off from the joystick.
this game was my life. i was looking over N64 games and saw the cover and my life flashed before my eyes. remembered the times me my friends, counsins, brother and sister, and even my mom, use to play each other. this game mario party and diddy kong racing. they would ruin friendships. good times. :')
fuck im old
My dad introduced me to N64 when I was little. It was the first gaming console I ever played and is my all time favourite as well. It just brings back heaps of memories of ke spending the afternoon playing on it whenever I could. But.... Dad threw it away because he thought it was broken.. I have never been more heartbroken in my life.
This and Pilot Wings 64 were such great chillout games.
This was so cutting edge back in the day
it's amazing how real I thought it was.
Watching this brings back memories,i'd almost kind of hurts, back when games weren't all about graphics and all that,.. at the time this was released this was crazy amazing, i was just a little kid without a worry in the world when playing this
it really hurts to read crap like that by some generic internet kiddi. boooh, wuaaah, riiight, back then. when everything was better, wuuuah, and noone cared about graphics. jeesus, are you actually that dumb? when this was released everyone said "damn, that looks awesome". just because it looks like crap today doesn't mean it wasn't about graphics back then. that aside today way more actual work of art is created (which doesn't care about graphics) but you probably will never get that.
ummmm..actually the main selling point of this game was the fucking graphics 😂😂😂
I'm probably older than you are you fucknut. I never said the graphics were bad. They were hugely impressive at the time. I'm just saying people valued gameplay way more than graphics then.
Brock Larkins quit trollin
man the hurt parts is so true kinda depressing actually lol
loved when the announcer yell at the end of the race lol
BONZAIIIII!!!!
I'm in love with this soundtrack
I remember running home from school to play this! Games back then were so good. Kids today have no idea how to appreciate games.
Greg lol it’s called Minecraft and LEGO games for my kids. But this game. 007 Zelda mariokart perfect dark. We did get the best games!!
I think they’re doing fine. BOTW, Super Mario Odyssey, Minecraft, etc., although I do hope Nintendo gets back to appreciating IPs like this one.
KendylTV think you are missing the point.
Ok boomer
@@UNKNOWN-ll4yt Piss off, zoomer!
The amount of hours I spent on this game when N64 came out. Will always remember the night level and how you could change how rough the water was.
My dad got me an N64 back in '98 for my birthday. Had NHL, Super Mario 64, Wave Race and a couple other games. Playing this game, I felt like I could feel the waves and the jumps, the spray off of the jet ski felt refreshing just by looking at it. Sadly, my father passed away just less than a week later. So, I found Solace in playing the video games that was given to me by my late father. I still find solace in video games now that I'm in my 30's. So, I thank you for having this game on CZcams for us to see again. It brings back good memories.
I used to play this shit all the time lol throw back
BANZAI!!!!
This game was so precious..... I love it
i miss this game so much wow :(
a true classic.
same
Just play it again... ;)
Soundchaser can't, my dad sold all my systems for 5$ each.
use an emulator
oh my god soon as i started watching this i was instantly takin back to easier stress free days 14 years old , hangin out with bros skippin school hahahha man oh man those time are forever with me
i remember being a kid and going to electronics stores when the n64 came out and ALL the demo setups had wave race 64 running.. ahhh NOSTALGIA
When I had this game years ago I was mostly focusing on the water texture. I like how colorful and realistic the water looks.
I feel sad watching this I don't know why. Am 30 years old now, remember playing this as a kid for hours. I wish I can go back, I miss those days. Back in the days in my attic late 90s.
Why was u in the attic instead of ur bedroom.
One of my first N64 games...ah the nostalgia.
This game felt so good to play and was such a fun time. Nostalgia'd hard
I remember playing this game all day long.
Still looks, plays and feels nice to play. Great memories great music.. could really chill and play this.
This game is a delight to play. I've yet to play a water craft game more satisfying than this in feel. I can't even think of another game where I would tip the nose down on a crest and then snap it back on the plunge to get some massive air on the dunk. I mean it just feels so intuitive and rewarding. There's nothing like it out there, and that's wild to me.
I remember playing this game at the doctor's office while waiting to be seen as a kid lol Ah the Feels!
this brings back so many memories of my cousins and I playing this growing up in the early 2000's
this was the first game I ever played for the 64
Anthony me too
Same
Born in 98 and watching this just took me back to my grandmas house as a 6 year old. Thanks so much for posting
Such an amazing game. So many good memories with this
dude that guys is so fucking motivating
The constant reverb on everything is magnificent and makes the game environment seem otherworldly.
They put so much heart into these games. They worked so hard to make games as good as possible for little kids but now all we have are trash games with no heart. This game still looks amazing can't say the same for most games that were released just even 6 years ago..
First N64 game I ever saw. I was completely blown away by this game and had to have one.
3 years later we got the Donkey Kong 64 console bundle. Best Christmas ever
Wow, that announcer sure is energetic. Makes winning even more fun !
Had this game, MarioKart64, Body Harvest, Duke Nukem, Cruis'n USA, Clayfighter, Pilotwings64, Rush, and WCW/NWO Revenge. All loads of fun for their time. I miss those days.
I came here for the Drake Lake music.
Chris Mason drake lake was my favorite!!!! I love how it starts foggy and ends clear
I agree. It sounds nice.
The intro song brings back so many great memories. I love this game!
Fantastic game and era of video games. Thank God Nintendo is still around.
love this game, still so fun nearly 20 years on
I never did get that fucking dolphin >:(
Keyboard Doge that dolphin was easy to get man.
This was the best game when I was younger
Back when I first played this, I thought the graphics and music were awesome. I still really like them. The graphics for video games nowadays are cutting edge and the music is a full symphonic score (at least some games are; some indie games still have old style graphics and music). It's fun to see how video games keep getting more detailed.
This game still seems new to me, i remember playing this first day i got the n64. It doesnt seem old at all and neither does the n64
Aww i remember my big brothers introducing me to video games as a kid and this was one of the first games they ever played with me :') i miss the 90's and being a kid without worries.... now i finally understand Peter Pan :(
I was blown away with the graphics that time and i still am, ah the nostalgia..
wow so much nostalgia :')
My childhood, this game needs to be remastered!!! Plz Nintendo!!!
Don’t get high hopes, Nintendo is the best company when it comes to let down fans
Omg, I remember putting a lot of hours into this game. It was really fun
That water looked so good
Early 2000s late 90s and even early 2010s we’re some of the best years ever in gaming I miss them so much
That music...Classic!
I am glad I still have this.
Sei Iori ditto. Great stuff.
God I played this game til my fingers bled when I was a kid. I literally just found a retro game shop that had everything you can think of. Got a n64 with hdmi conversion cable (for tvs that only have hdmi ports) and they had this game. Grabbed it as fast as I could. Gunna bring back memories
Ora getting emulador
the feels this gave me! :) Love it! I miss this game :)
#1 Nintendo sports game, we still want another followup.
You don’t know how long I’ve been looking for this game. It feels so good to finally end my journey 😭
Played this game while blowing off class at UF back in the early 90s. This game's graphics mesmerized me for hours on end. Class did not.
Never finished college, by the way, but completed endless races in record time.
You mean late 90's.
That's some ridiculously impressive water for the N64!
I owned a PSX and Jet Moto at the time, and I was envious of how the water colors and motion looked so smooth on Wave Racer... on Jet Moto, it's rough! It still looks great and makes me want to drink out of it
literally every beat of the sound design of this game gives me nostalgia chills
Memories memories memories... I bought this with Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64 when the N64 first came out on the day it came out (1 March 1997 here in Australia). Played this so much, got so good at it, was blown away by the graphics and promise of the N64 at the time. Many fond memories of my teens!
One of the best n64 games ever
Imagine a remake with what Nintendo can pull off. That'd be so beautiful
that would probably ruin the game, remakes are shit. I think it's better to just create a whole new game
i mean you know the sequel exists right? way better in my opinion even
Wtf? I'm tearing up to the intro soundtrack of a 90's waterscooter racing game? Aaah the nostalgia hit me hard
This brings back so many memories from my childhood!
This brings back so many memories....
Still have this sitting right next to my n64. Might play it after work today
This game, along with Pilot Wings 64 and Mario 64, were my first games on N64. LOVED IT. Such a chill game and the water effects made me 🤯🤯
this game has a nice soundtrack
This game brings back so many memories... mostly frustration this game was so damn hard!
Sunset Bay was gorgeous and had a beautiful opening tune.
This games sound board lives so deep in my childhood memory
Man is it wrong to tear up a little watching this and thinkin of all the fun times
The year is 1996, you're in grade 4, the Spice Girls are on the radio nonstop, and you just got the N64 with Mario64 and Wave Race 64 with Zelda just around the corner; life was good. Life was verrrry good :')
I loved how beautiful this game was back in the N64 days. The water physics, the music, the maps, the ability to ride a dolphin...
It was a blast to play~
I remember me and my brothers playing this miss old days ❤️
i used to be amazed how real the water looked like back then , brings back the good old memories
Man I loved this game and when the game cube game the sequel got released was mind blown with the water effects
I heard the ost and it brought back a memory I didn’t even know u had 😂
must have been 7-8 years old when this came out. still remember waiting for blockbuster to open so my mom could rent this for me & being blown away by how amazing this game was for its time. time flies and its starting to scare me...
One of the most fun and underrated games i played as a child
BEST.RACING.GAME.EVER -
I miss the old days when this was the most realistic water ever in a game.
This was my favourite game when I was young!
The need to give this game a proper sequel. The music, the water physics of this game were on point. The water ski games that came after this were just not the same
this looked so much better in my memory
This brings me back, this plus Jet Motto racing.
After Goldeneye this was my favourite N64 game! Oh, those memories!
Wow, it's been 25 years. Hard to believe. Seems like I was just playing this game...maybe because back then, I played it A LOT
In before the NX game is announced.
Many hours burned cutting up the seas playing this beaut.
Im 23 and i remember playing this as a kid 20 years ago its crazy
Ahhh memories
easily one of my fav n64 games as a kid, along with starfox and bomberman.
