Making of Nintendo 64 (1993-1996) | History of Nintendo 64 | Full Documentary

N64 was the console that I dreamed of having as a child but I couldn't because of its high cost. I had to wait 25 years since its launch to try the gems in its catalog, and I can say that the wait was worth it. Maybe it's because I wanted it so much when I was a kid, and I didn't own or play any console after the Sega Genesis, that to this day the graphics of the N64 still dazzle me and seem incredible, and I love them so much that I prefer that aesthetic (with all its limitations) before modern hyper-realistic graphics.

I was 19 when this came out. I remember one of the RAs in my dorm had one and he showed me Shadows Of The Empire. My mind was blown.

I remember watching the promotional vhs for Germany for hours - I was so hyped

I had N64 with about 8 games, including Killer Instinct, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Mario Kart 64, Golden Eye, Wave Race 64 -- Good times.

Holy Crap dude!!! I cannot wait for Part 2 to come out. This first one was AWESOME!!!

As a kid seeing all consoles choose cds over cartridges made me think the N64 was a step behind but as adult playing a ps1 resident evil loading screen after opening every single door compared to n64 being on cartridges was the best option

I love this documentary! Great job!

Thanks you so much for the video

great work -waiting on pt 2!

Im..so excited to be watching thjs !

Awesome video

Holycrap dude this video has taken OFF!!!! 😲 I seriously remember like 3 or 4 week ago when I looked at the current status off it it had just made 1k. Maybe even 1.1k. You are flying like a mad man right now.

The first time I ever saw an N64 in person was at Blockbuster; Mario64 was the game. I was blown away. That station at Blockbuster is what convinced me to get an N64.

Mario64 and Pilotwings64 were available for player at the Nintendo's Megadome in Laronde Montreal before it' official release, We've play all summer in 1996. I remember like it was last year. Mario64 was not complete, second floor was not available and if I'm right, the logo was Ultra64

Really great, detailed video. I'm excited for part 2 to come out! The 64 was released when I was only 1 year old, and my parents bought it for me at the end of its life cycle, as my first console. So many memories of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. What a great way to get introduced to gaming.

Ultra hand cool 1:05 there is even an ability with that name in zelda tears of the kingdom.

Well nintendo did had a reason to go for a 64bit cpu and add 4 controller ports to the N64,because they knew that other competitors didn’t had that but they also knew that the atari jaguar was berally a 64bit. machine so they had to stand out from the rest by also implementing cgi graphical capabilities into their N64 system, Just imagine if nintendo opted for a 32bit cpu instead with no cgi builtin and offering only two controller ports,then it would,ve any advantage over it’s competitors,but i guess that even if atari did came up with their 32bit panter game console instead,nintendo would,ve still go for a 64bit cpu inside their N64 system.

Thanks

Most underrated system ever and the game cube maybe the Wii u but the N64 was never fully unlocked 🔓

I'm more than certain that if the president of Sega of Japan had actually accepted most of the ideas brought to them. They might have at least been second in the console wars during the late 90s
