And they totally wasted a new Earthworm Jim game on that thing.
But yeah, Tommy Tallarico had a personal vendetta with Pat the NES Punk for a while, taking swipes at them as he was covering the whole issue on his podcast the CUPodcast. It’s a really wild ride from beginning to end, if it ever did end.
And that is when you start seeing pockets of people defend their favorites. Very hard to gauge.
But I don’t see a lot of people defending the Castlevania games on the N64. If you were expecting Castlevania to hold up to it’s legacy if you picked N64 over PS1 back then, you were in for a world of disappointment. And there were no released Contra games for the N64 either, there was a canceled title, but no known releases.
There’s a point here. The N64 too had a significantly lower count of games than the PS1. The PS1 had like three times larger the amount of games with 1,278 than N64. So there was a lot more options to pick and choose from. And there were definitely superior versions of some of the games listed.
But it is sort of like the Genesis vs Super Nintendo comparison. People can list banger after banger off of the SNES library that it easily fills a Top 50 list, whereas people can list maybe 20 good Genesis games? So I do believe that’s where a lot of the favoritism stems off from is that, Nintendo had to make their games good for the N64, least the first party titles. Everything else off of it were really more misses than hits, you probably had 10 underrated gems that people now talk about (and pretend they always were that when nobody had a clue back then).
What turned me off from multiplayer games was the entitled obnoxiousness of the other players. Playing with others is cool for a few minutes, but if you run into several shit players, ruins everything. This is when the whole “if all you find are assholes, you must be one yourself” rhetoric does not apply when it comes to multiplayer games. People just choose to be bastards.
I remember how many damn licensed games came out during that period. There was just almost a game for everything, it was nuts.
American Choppers had a game. Hannah Montana had several. Let’s give Dukes of Hazzard a game, let’s give Starsky and Hutch a game. Do they have to be good? Nope, they never were but let them be a thing anyways.

Todd bought Fallout because Fallout was only just seen as a way to make merch out of. Yes, let’s have vault boy on everything, let’s have nuka-cola replicas, let’s have bottle cap replicas .etc
But nothing about whether or not the games are even worth a toss to play. There’s people who still to this day, favor FO 1, 2 and New Vegas. They were made with a level of charm and care that got YOU to where you are today. FO 3, 4 and 76 all feel like just empty open worlds with recycled material, it’s running in place with no forward progression.
The OG creator of FO may be a humble guy, but the series still deserve better.
Okay, so there’s game delays that actually have helped some games. Then there’s games that sit on Early Access for what seems like forever, wondering what the fuck are they doing, like 7 Days to Die.
I like and respect games that, take their time because they want a certain vision of a game to work itself out as intended. I don’t like and respect games that need to rush for the holidays or need to rush for company appeasement.
One would and wouldn’t be surprised. I just abandoned a texas poker app on mobile and it’s sickening to see how many people pay up cheaters just to get billions and even a trillion chips. Then I see them on the table and they always win.
