I Bought A GameStop Refurbished Nintendo 64...And This Is What They Sent Me

Ойындар

In 1999 I opened my Nintendo 64 for Christmas and now 20 years later I thought it would be fun to do the same thing on Christmas day. I also went ahead and bought a refurbished N64 from GameStop to see what they would send me. Today lets take a look at the Nintendo 64 that I remember from over two decades ago.

    My great Nephew just hit 11 1/2 months old, and got a toy trike, so I felt it all over again as I also have 3 nieces, and a nephew who are in their teens, and the oldest of the 3 nieces in her 20's. my step daughter is 17, but me, and my fiance are trying for a boy, so it won't be long again lol!

    My dad got me an N64 for Christmas. I was in my 20's, and for some reason that's one gift from him that really stands out in my memory. Dad's gone now. Every time I see the opining of OOT, I think of him and something gets in my eyes.

    My father surprised me with a Game Cube one Christmas. He stood in line for it at Walmart (Outside) on Black Friday. I told him I wanted clothes. It bugged him that I just wanted clothes, because that is what his parents always gave him. Ironically, I was serious about the clothes. 😂 I didn’t hear his childhood story until was an adult. So, when he appeared one day with the system, I was in shock.

    The biggest issue I had with the Wii is that they didn't bother to produce accessories for the American market. They were just the same ones for the Japanese market and failed to take into consideration that Americans are generally larger than the Japanese. I'm not even talking about obesity here, trying to play some of those Wii sports titles with that understized step pad was a nightmare. The physical size of the thing was smaller than my pelvis making it virtually impossible to play.

    I remember at the time our family had a Sega Genesis that we played a ton. Often times though my much older brother (10 years older) wouldn't let me play so my dad wanted to get me something I could play. Christmas 1998 I got a Game Boy Color. I was so excited to have games that were mine and that my older brothers couldn't play GBC games since they had original GBs still. At the time, my dad had been laid off at IBM so I didn't think we would have any large gifts that year but my dad worked low paying jobs often 12 hours or more a day to make the extra money to get it for me. It was and still is the best gift I have received.

    i cannot express how relatable your journey towards acquiring the 64 system years, after release, was for me. After the gamecube launch, we ended up with one of our cousin's N64 and game library for a few years. Then i think in 2005, as a 6 year-old, I hyped up my dad so much to buy the Mario Party 7 & Gamecube bundle at $99 specifically from Target. Was elated with that for another year or two until the Wii lol

I had no idea on that morning twenty-one years ago that my life was going to change forever.

    My grandma in Japan used to send us a really big parcel to Canada once every few years. We were always excited, lots of cool candy, magazines, stationary. One year was different, one year we opened that package and inside was a Nintendo 64. We had no clue what it was, it wasn’t released in Canada yet and being a kid with no internet word didn’t really get around. I remember my first game, Japanese Mario 64. Hours and hours I played the game, not speaking a word of English but I managed, must have beaten it over 200 times not including the DS release. Then a year later it got launched in Canada and finally realized what I had lol. Got a gameboy colour the same way. Turns out the one she sent me was a rare Lawson edition gameboy which is hard to find now. So many memories with Nintendo as a kid. That’s not even including the hours spent skipping high school to play smash melee at my friends house.

Bundled with 2 controllers (grey and atomic purple). And my first game she handed me was a brand new copy of Bomberman hero, of all things. I loved it to death and played it everyday! Good times...

I was bummed out, but she let me open a gift before she went so I would have something to tide me over until she got home that night. And the gift I opened turned out to be Bad Dudes for the NES. Not the greatest game, sure, but it was very special to me in that moment. My eyes widened and she managed to get a photo of me with child like excitement on my face.

    Ahhh 1999. I remember sitting at my uncle's house watching him playing Ocarina of Time. He let me play it and I fell in love. I begged my parents to get an N64 with Ocarina of Time. I got one. John is right though, times were more simple back then. I remember the last game I rented from Blockbuster was back in '06 was Dirge of Cerberus. Still one of my favorite games to this day. The days of just coming home doing homework and then playing some video games...I miss them.

    From memory, I got mine in 1998 (year after it released in Australia). I remember going into a retailer and playing Mario 64 on a store setup, long time before I got it. I also remember trying Diddy Kong Racing as well at another store and I thought Conker was Tales lol. Actually, it's criminal that no one has done another Diddy Kong Racing either. So 1998 Christmas I had the stock standard N64 under the tree and Diddy Kong Racing. My mum let me read the Diddy Kong Racing manual before Christmas (I knew what I was getting). After Christmas we picked up Mario 64 at Toys R Us with my Christmas money. I remember that day, it was a muggy, cloudy and rainy day here in the tropics.

Also another thing i did not get was the gameboys with Pokémon when it was released. So today i've collected all kinds of gameboys and rare games, and ofc all Pokémon games. Also i just had to build the collection with NES, SNES Gamecube, Wii and so on. But i always find myself playing the older games most. Just love the nostalgic feel of it.

    The N64 Jumper Pak was actually a termination card. The N64 uses RD-RAM for the 4 megabyte memory and given the expansion slot, the jumper pak had to be made to terminate the RD-RAM "signal". It was merely an arrangement of circuitry rather than containing an integrated circuit. Old PCs, such as Socket 423 Pentium 4 systems used RD-RAM and had these termination cards in the RAM slots if not all RAM slots were occupied with actual RAM. Great video!

My parents really made me feel they wanted to but just couldnt find one. So I accepted it and moved on. Well Christmas came and I got one that year!! The only problem was my tv needed an rf modulator and we had to wait until the next day and driving around to different places and ended up in radio shack finally getting one and it was so amazing! There were so many cool games but ocarina of time ended up being my favorite game actually of all time for me. Thanks for the video man.

Then I transplanted the motherboard from my old black N64 into this Japanese case. I now have a US N64 in this neat color style that was never released in the US, and it was totally worth the effort.
