NASCAR 99 is Accidentally Brilliant
NASCAR 99 on the Nintendo 64 is actually the first NASCAR game I ever played. It's the second game in the EA Sports NASCAR franchise, and its age certainly shows. Not to mention that this version is a technologically worse port of the PlayStation 1 version. But in spite of all that, it's still awesome. You wouldn't expect this game to have replayability, but the insane arcade physics with constant back and forth slingshots literally make this game a photo finish simulator. It shouldn't be fun, but it absolutely is.

The NASCAR Thunder 2004 Martinsville Experience
Просмотров 7 тыс.Месяц назад
If the NASCAR Thunder 2004 Career Mode Experience taught me one thing, it's that Martinsville is pure insanity. Naturally, I decided to crank it up to 11 in this video by attempting full 500 lap races there with certain challenge criteria. I'm going to attempt it with the setup I used in career mode, then with the default setup, and finally I'm going to attempt to break NASCAR's caution record ...
Revisiting Elebits | The Definition of Wii
Просмотров 964Месяц назад
Few games fully demonstrate the total weirdness of the Wii and do it well, and even less of them aren't made by Nintendo themselves. I feel like this game fits both categories. Elebits or Eledees in PAL regions, was released back in late 2006 by Konami as a launch title for the Nintendo Wii. It's really weird, and I like it. Think of it basically as Half-Life 2 with motion controls where all yo...
NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup | The Lightning Challenge Experience

Welcome back, today we're going to be taking a look at all of the lightning challenges in the PlayStation 2 version of NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup. I'm switching it up since the GameCube version that I revisited in the last video doesn't have Michael Waltrip's super awkward driver interviews. While this game might not have the most difficult lightning challenges of the EA Sports NASCAR games...

NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup came out back in 2004 for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, and the original Xbox. Today, I’m showcasing the GameCube version. This game represents an interesting transition period in NASCAR history, a new title sponsor for the Cup Series, a new points format, gre...
EA Sports WRC: CRITICAL DAMAGE

I'm finally back, and it's time to finish 2023 in style. Today, I'm taking a look at EA Sports WRC. I've been wanting to feature a rally racing game on the channel for a while now, not because I'm good at them, but simply because they're fun. My first experience with a rally racing game was the Wii version of Colin McRae: Dirt 2, but the PC version of Dirt 3 was what really won me over. My rela...

It was developed by Team6 Game Studios and published by GameMill Entertainment, which automatically means that it's shovelware. But this game is not your average shovelware, it's Nintendo Wii-style shovelware. Think about it: it'...

This season is about putting myself in the best possible position to go after a title in season 3. My method is pretty simple, win as many...

I am officially back. We all know that NASCAR Thunder 2004 is one of the best NASCAR games of all time, but I personally have never done a full playthrough of the career mode in this game.

Career modes in the...
NASCAR Thunder 2004 Shenanigans

NASCAR Thunder 2004 from EA Sports is without a doubt one of the greatest NASCAR games ever made. I could even make a case for it being one of the best racing games ever made. This game released for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and the PC. Because I owned a Nintendo GameCube growing up, my first ever experience with the game was in 2017 when I finally went and bought a used copy for th...
Playing Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine

Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine isn't a NASCAR game, nor is it Wii shovelware, but it's almost both. It released on the PS3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii. Obviously, I'm playing the Wii version for tilt control satisfaction and the reduced performance. I almost hate saying that this game can be fun, but it can be. The footage in this video is actually the first time that I have ever ...

    20:36. There _were_ apparently talks of the Winston Cup racing at Indy as early as 1982 (though nothing obviously came of them until 1992~1994). So, somewhere out in the multiverse, there may indeed be a timeline where Bobby Allison wins the Brickyard 400.

      The setup stuff in this game I think is actually opposite of what it should be like 90% of the time. More tire pressure makes it turn better, more wedge makes it looser, just total random stuff where you just adjust sliders and hope it works.

      Yeah, the N64 has actually a really large variety of racing games which are a lot better. Alongside Mario Kart 64 there's also F-Zero X which is incredible, and that's just to name a few. But NASCAR 99's fun in such a way that if you grew up with it, you go back and play it for like 3 hours and then don't come back until a year later. But you always do come back.
