Wave Race 64

Yeah.

So we were talking about like, okay, real time, you know, changing billboards and stuff because, you know, like Wave Race 64, I think if you play anything on the Switch or even the Wii, they had to remove Kawasaki, you know, branding and logos from everything and stuff.

And like it's had this has happened in like old games when they've re-released them and someone had to go in and just remove like logo placements or stuff.

Right.

But even for the back then, that was not very good.

But, however, this extreme drought finally broke when the next wave of games hit the shelves, being Wave Race 64 in November and Mortal Kombat 11 maybe about a week later.

Sorry, not Mortal Kombat 11.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy.

yeah yeah yeah i believe so yeah yeah

so yeah for me it was sublime for playing like wave race 64 because i remember when that game came out i remember always being kind of being a fan of sublime at that point so like yeah it fit that mood like that it was fast it was this fast pace but it felt like um i don't know just like the vibe of the music fit the game so you're trying to pick like a like a video game memory yeah and again like i joked in our in our chat that I've always listened to music while I played games.

So it was a tough one.

But for something that kind of stood out, I can still visualize being a kid sitting on the floor playing the game.

Let's make that great.

When the game itself was shown off in Japan, Nintendo Power interviewed Miyamoto, Tezuka, and Kono, where the game was compared to Wave Race 64.

Kono stated that Mario Kart 64 was aimed towards everyone, while Wave Race 64 was aimed at an older audience.

Kono said that they were originally planning to use both the control stick and the control pad to play the game and that sounds terrible uh so he but he ended up settling on focusing with the control stick and wanted to make players feel as if they were controlling an rc car they even bought a bunch of rc vehicles to get a feel for it while the programmers they made a bunch of simulations they were really pulling on real world driving um kind of techniques and putting those into simulation so they ended up with a pretty detailed simulated racing game the problem was it was too real and the play testers ended up getting dizzy and nauseous and even worse than that the game was just boring and not fun to play But, I mean, when you add the items, when you add the craziness of Mario Kart, what makes it fun, I suppose.

But I enjoyed some regular racing games back then, too.

I was.

I played some Wave Race 64.

Hell yeah.

Yeah.

I also think back to games I've mastered on a video game console.

I still enjoy going back through Wave Race 64 cups or beating Contra on the NES.

Smoothly playing through these familiar games is charming.

The game does lay its enchantment on me.

I mean, we don't really experience...

And should you,

when you're 17, be out kissing girls rather than playing Wave Race 64?

I mean, if anybody wants to kiss you back.

They got the dolphin! I mean, it's Nerf.

It's Wave Racing.

It's setting up Wave Race.

I

How about

this? Since Nintendo won't give us a wave, a proper wave race, why don't we get a wave race tactics? That's never been done before.

A wave racing tactics game.

That could be a nice little

The Wave Race one just hit.

You can play Wave Race 64 4K

on your big monitor, ultra wide, 60

FPS.

yeah

okay goat the goat all right here's your number one i'm glad i forced you to do this by the way

yes my number one um which i think you think is something else but i already said that game's not on my list which would have been wave race 64 it's just it's still even though it's a it's a new game it hasn't it can't knock out the nostalgia of any other game which i'm kind of giving away a little bit here

can i yeah i'm gonna can i take a guess which one it is

That's awesome.

Then we got Wave Race 64.

This I never owned.

I still don't own this game, which I need to correct.
