I had pizza rolls and played Borderlands 3 last night, but was asleep on the couch at 8:00. I’m 39.

This is very close to how my weekend went actually : ) Just with BG3 instead of Wrestlemania, and the wife was out of town instead of no school. Haha.

WCW/NWO Revenge, or nothing.

I remember the hype of getting chairs from the audience in this game!

We rented this one a lot.

Pretty sure a N64 can be emulated on a raspberry pi 5.

Granted it's probably easier to get a N64 than a pi5... but still. For those folks that want to play... It's possible.

Also I hear steam deck is a great way to emulate it...

Owning a Nintendo 64 is a pretty big hurdle. Have you seen how much those fucking things cost now?!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You can emulate via software or hardware nowadays.

If you want accuracy, the MiSTer now has an N64 core that is mostly complete.

I've got one in a box in my garage

If you can't have it, emulate it. ;)

I regret selling mine when I was 17 cause I wanted to buy a paintball gun and gear. At the time, it was a great call cause I didn't play any N64 games at the time, and I got to have a blast playing paintball with my friends.

But man I wish I'd sold something else back then so I could still have my original N64 and games. Still got the ol' NES and Sega Genesis at least.

Are they bad? I just never let anything go, so I'm still using mine from when I was a kid.

If you can manage to find a place that has one, they're usually selling for $200+ now. I'm pretty sure I can get ebay chinese replicas for like $50 though, but there are some games they won't play.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

The N64 had a $200 launch price, which is pretty much $400 now. So nobody is making money from holding onto their N64. Hrm, maybe I should pick one up.

No Mercy is the pinnacle of N64 wrestling games, but the glory started with WCW vs NWO World Tour.

The only problem I had with No Mercy is my save files kept disappearing.

A few things are stopping me from that actually.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Nothing is stopping you from this right now

Except the cost of the console and games. :(

Also, Beetle Adventure Racing > Wrestlemania

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Your phone has enough power to emulate an N64 and roms are free. Ain't nobody making royalties 25 years later on Wrestlemania.

Well, yes, I have a gaming PC as well. (and a steam deck) It just ain't the same without the OG controller. Need to get a USB one eventually but I'm poor.

I do still have some of my original carts as well. Same with a bunch of NES carts I got from my previous job. Been eyeing those modern consoles that work with NES carts because that would be nice to have in the living room.

Argggh the seas of piracy are calm and rife with plunder

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (3 children)

You guys don't keep your childhood consoles?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Someone stole it from me when I was 18.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

I would have if I had the luxury of storage.
