It's honestly been really cool just getting new official trailers for N64 games in 2022. Taking the time to shine the spotlight on older games that may not have always been the most well known on their respective consoles as if they're a big new release every month shows a lot of respect for these titles.

Nintendo EPD are too busy making only half-decent open world Zelda games, ports of Wii U games with unnecessary addons, "we'll finish making it after publishing" Animal Crossing games, actually creative games that get abandoned after a year with the IPs never touched again (Splatoon and Pikmin being the exceptions) and heavily monetized mobile games no one asked for to make Wave Race again. Or in other words, Nintendo is too busy Nintendoing to make Wave Racing again.

It's been awhile since I watched the video. I think it was on Did You Know Gaming. Not from quote but, what I got from the video. Waverace wasn't intend to be a continuation of a on going series. Which translates to me, " It's possible for another sequel but, they are too busy focusing on other I.P. so don't count on one happening".

YES! They remembered! One of my most played racing games way back when, and I still listen to the soundtrack to this day. Very underrated!
They took the effort of making the "August 19" font look almost exactly like in the game. Now that's very cool! Hopefully i'll soon feel like playing on my Switch again to play this great gem
When N64 first dropped my dad rented the whole system from blockbuster with only this game. Being able to move around on those waves in 3D completely blew my mind. I literally played until the joystick gave me a blister on my thumb

This is the kind of game that gives you nostalgia even if you have never played it before. Honestly it just sounds and looks like childhood. A true gem.
This was one of my favorites when I had an N64 over 20 years ago.
This is the very first N64 game I've ever laid my eyes on and played. I remember being in shock by the graphics and how "real" the water looked.
Fun fact: A good portion of Owl City’s music was inspired by Wave Race as it was one of his favorite games to play as a kid. Even played a cover of it during his Ocean Eyes tour.
Great game with wave physics that has aged gracefully given the console it’s on. I would love a new game in the series.
Glad this is being added. Such a good game, especially when it comes to the OST. Now I’m waiting on Goldeneye and Diddy Kong Racing.

The water physics are still excellent looking. A tried and true classic for all new gamers to get their feet wet with.
Dude this hit me with every bit of nostalgia that exists lol
This game brings back so much happiness from when I was a child. The physics in this game was great, it was challenging, and the opening theme was definitely a banger I still hum to myself. This game will always be up there in my top 10 N64 games.
Can we for a second appreciate the HD rendering of the logo at the end of the trailer. It looks so clean
When I got the Nintendo 64 for Christmas in 96 I got Mario 64 and Wave Race 64 I spent a lot of time playing this game over the years and even loved Blue Storm on GameCube.
