Every single day after school me and my friends would come to my place and played countless hours of Goldeneye. Lots of awesome memories. Nostalgia man.
@@mattfahringer148 Has it aged? sure. But some people like to act like it's completely unplayable now days. It's still a blast to play, and compared to a lot of games made for the N64, or even PS1, I think it has aged just fine.
I loved twine for the ability to fight bots. I put more time into that than beating the missions. Another solo playground of carnage. Same for perfect dark & Conker & turoc rage wars. I was really wowed by the feeling of speed that pod racer provided. Hot Wheels turbo raceing was equally dizzying. I never saw a toy story 2. I'd like to get that one off eBay some time. Great video Glenn. ✌cheers!
I played the absolute crap out of A Bug's Life on PC back in the day. It was one of my favorite games, mostly because I had no idea what was happening anyways so I would just get lost and explore each level for an hour until I did what I was supposed to. One of the earliest instances I can remember of myself getting lost in a game world.
Kids' creativity can really polish a turd. (I mean that in a good way.) They can look at games and come at enjoying them from angles longtime gamers would never think of. I played Mario Kart as an open-world MMORPG with a kindergartener last year. Amazing.
TWINE not invoking much nostalgia is because it doesn't deserve it. Goldeneye isn't just remembered fondly because it is the OG. Perfect Dark came after Goldeneye and it still gets some love. Why? Like Goldeneye, it's actually good.
@@n64glennplant By the way, my issue with the dreamcast version is that the joystick isn't accurate at all, so you have to play with the D pad which is very hard on your fingers on the DC..
SAME HERE!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS GAME BACK IN THE DAY AND I STILL HAVE MY ORIGINAL COPY OF IT WITH THE BOX AND MANUAL!!! I recently replayed it and I still felt the same satisfaction I did the first time I popped it in
I rented TWINE and loved it. Definitely an underrated N64 gem that, unfortunately, probably will never see a rerelease (due to licensing issues) or a fan remake like Goldeneye Source (due to its comparative lack of popularity). Also, I've been waiting for Blues Brothers 2000 to be reviewed on your channel. Looking forward to the review when it comes!
Adam Miller the game took elements from the movie and tv series but as it’s not actually licensed after the movie but as a franchise I’m saving it for my tv licensed games episode 😬
To be honest, I never play videogames anymore. However, I'm always watching your videos because not only do they bring so much nostalgia, but I love how you talk about them. Not only that, but you truly review them in a fair manner. You take me to much simpler times.
I'm currently playing TWINE on N64 and it's really fun. I grew up playing GoldenEye though. So many great memories from playing 4 player with friends and trying my best to beat those missions in time to unlock cheat codes.
Star Wars Ep.1 Racer was my first ever video game and I remember it being pretty tough. Very underrated racer. Rugrats in Paris was another childhood game of mine. That one didnt age too well lol.
Well done Glen, great video as always! The Top 3 from the video 1) - Goldeneye. If you've never played this before then just buy it. If you own an N64 and do not own this game then please see a doctor. The film is also worth watching. 2) - SW Ep 1 Racer - Looks a little dated now but still plays great and very fast even by todays standards. Best part of the film in my opinion, but I cannot recommend the film, sadly. 3) A tie. TWINE and SW Ep 1 Battle for Naboo. Both games are good. I think both are also now hard to find especially Naboo. Out of the films I'd say that the Bond film is worth watching.
@@n64glennplant Dear Glen, thank you so much for the recommendation. Just saw a video of it running and I'm STUNNED - really stunned.! I know what I'll be doing for a few days ! 👌🏽
It may have aged a bit but Goldeneye for the n64 was and still is amazing. Leave it to Nintendo and Rare to make a great licence game. It would be great if they re-released it(I heard there was a Goldeneye 007 remaster for the 360 that was almost completed but never released) TWINE while not as good as Goldeneye is still amazing in it's own way. The amount of voice clips is wonderful and the level design is realistically amazing! At times it looks like a PS2 game. I remember renting Toy Story 2 from blockbuster and it was really good(an admirable port for the N64). I remember using the gameshark for the infinite jump.
I have easily put 300+ hours into Star Wars pod racer on my Nintendo switch. It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s addictive. I don’t think I’ve ever played a racing game that feels so fast before, it feels as natural as breathing but a difficulty curve that makes sure you’re never really bored. I just keep restarting and re doing the tournament mode with different racers with different winning amounts and different amounts of money spent on my racer to make the different playthroughs have different difficulties
Picked up a copy of Star Wars ep 1 racer and was very surprised by how in depth it was. Nice level of customisation and I like the way you can look around the rooms that the menu screens take place in like when buying parts from wattos shop. The junk yard feature is great too
Hah yeah I know what you mean - I always found the junkyard idea was cool to get second hand parts cheap but with the potential they could go bust at any moment
Unfortunately missed out on Goldeneye growing up. Don't really have any favorite licenced games on N64. Though on other platforms there's: 007 Nightfire (PS2), Lord of The Rings The Return of The King (PS2), Shrek 2 (PS2), Spiderman 2 (GameCube). Once again, thanks for another top quality video! Even though these games don't really appeal to me. You somehow make them more engaging to watch. With how they relate to the history of the N64, the developers and other factors. It's like traveling back in time.
I remember really enjoying A Bugs Life back in the day and beating it as well. I must have been 8 or so. Maybe Im biased because that was the first N64 game I ever had.
My favorite movie games are 'Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher-bay' and 'Blade Runner' (point n click adventure on pc from 1997, sadly there is still no GOG release). Thanks for the video Glenn, I have fond memories of playing Goldeneye against my homies back in the day.
Goldeneye's level design and gameplay are just more tight and satisfying than TWINE. The gunplay and death animations just blow it out of the water despite being 3 years older. Also I and everyone I've played it with find TWINE's multiplayer lackluster despite a decent amount of options.
I still apologize to my mom for dragging her to the video store at the early hours of the day to rent a copy of 'A Bugs Life' as a child. I could not get past that first level.
@@n64glennplant Twice, once to rent Bugs Life, the other the was to buy a used copy of Doom 64 the store was getting rid of. The latter time was worth it 😂

I absolutely love my N64 (tied first as my favorite console of all time), but you see... even though I say that, there're cases where you think twice about its 64 bit performance. PS1 was a real cheater of a console (if yoy want I'll explain that), but nevertheless it ran games with higher framerate, higher res textures and sometimes even more polygons per second, and was 32 bit. For quite some time I thought that was quite insteresting... the fact is, when you see games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, both Zeldas, Conker's, TWINE and many more, those absolutely yell 64 bit. Any of those absolutely obliterates the PS1, to a point it leaves zero doubt which console was more capable. If the entire library of N64 games isn't up to the same level, it says more about the developers than the hardware's capabilities. I mean, Goldeneye looks GORGEOUS even in 2019. That's quite a feat running on a 1996 hardware. The N64 was immensely powerful when properly programmed for.
Now if only the console wasn’t so hard to make games for we might get some new games on it

@@n64glennplant Glenn, love your channel, LOVE it!! Here's a topic suggestion for a future video: why can't developers keep producing games for old hardware? Here's why it should be a good idea: hardware is old, games for it are simple, definitely simpler than current gen games, so if a developer assembles a team of 20 people they can definitely produce AAA games. If I recall, Perfect Dark was made with a 20 people team. 20 people paycheck shouldn't worry a Rockstar, for example. And by this point, it's quite obvious there's a clear market for it. Retro Gaming has never been so popular and so lucrative like it is now. People are buying N64, Saturn, 3do (to name a few) left and right. I believe new N64 games should be easier (and cheaper) than ever to produce (memory is cheap, production costs are low, small teams, etc) and there's a clearly defined market that would buy every single new title produced. What are your thoughts on this subject? Once again, love your channel !!!! Keep up the amazing work!
A Bug's Life was my 2nd ever N64 game after Ocarina of Time....quite the steep drop in quality haha. I remember having fun messing around with it, I would just run around the levels and not take things too seriously whereas Zelda was the game I actually invested time and TRIED to make progress in. I never actually beat A Bug's Life back in the day either, I remember the slippery controls frustrating me to the point of just not playing it anymore. Only managed to beat it recently! Overall: Meh. Best N64 movie games were TWINE, Podracer and Toy Story 2 easily! Toy Story 2 I especially loved when I was younger and played BEFORE Banjo Kazooie...so the size of the levels wowed me. Great video as always Glenn, takes me back!

I don't know why, but TWINE controls always felt weird to me. I can't even pinpoint what is it, it just feels something is off. Besides that, it's a pretty good game. Didn't have this issue with Goldeneye, but maybe I'm biased 'cause it was the first N64 game I ever played
True dat! Although saying that wasn’t the franchise pretty much dead during the N64 era before it made a come back? I’m not a turtles buff so I forget what was happening in those late 90s years
@@n64glennplant Glenn, it's was in somewhat of a limbo state as far as narrative releases were concerned but the fanbase was still very much there and waiting with comics and toys etc still being lapped up by fabs. Just feel they should have given it a shot as who wouldn't want a 4 player co-op sofa brawler with their buds?
Along with Goldeneye I played for hours on Star Wars Episode One Racer, both great games. I managed to borrow TWINE but did'nt enjoy it as much. It would be great to see Goldeneye on the Switch, although I'm sure the licencing issues make this basically impossible....
@@n64glennplant Yes I remember that now, Activision were doing the port, footage has been released since online... It looks like Nintendo Japan shut the port down when it was nearing release unfortunately. I'm glad we got the Perfect Dark HD remake however, that was a blast to play again!! (Along with B&K/Tooie)
I'm playing Goldeneye for the first time in 2019. Great fun. "My Goldeneye" was TWINE back then. I wonder however, why most footage has Auto Assist. No offense, but what's the point? I even turn it off in online multiplayer games (despite the disadvantage it brings). Aim Assist ruins shooters.
When I record I generally stick to default settings in game as otherwise I end to get swamped with people saying I’ve somehow bastardised their childhood by not playing exactly how they remembered it 😂
I think I made a comment about this on your A Bug's Life review, but I grew up with the PS1 version of A Bug's Life and I absolutely loved it back then. Sure, it's not a great game overall (Especially when compared to the sublime Toy Story 2), but the way I see it is that if you play through it instead of completing every level objective, it can be a blast. Having said all that, I can totally understand why it's hated by some. :D
Not many games to love from movie licenses. But Goldeneye is probably the only good one but Stars Episode 1: Racer was another good one, because I played it with friends alot.
I think the shooting in The World Is Not Enough is absolutely horrendous; the guns don’t feel meaty, the sound effects make them sound like a potato gun, and the animations of the bad guys when shot is just awful. Goldeneye 007 is superior to TWINE in every conceivable way. Great video nonetheless! 👍🏻
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official game of the Movie, is a great video game adaptation. The real actors lended their voices and the music and atmosphere is superb. In fact, the atmosphere is so good that it's easy to ignore all the glitches and huge hit boxes that the creatures and dinosaurs of Skull Island have.
As much I love Goldeneye I find it almost unplayable when going back to it in 2019 mostly due to the controls and being so used to playing FPS's with 2 sticks. I just can't get accustomed to it. It wrecks my head just trying to get through a level. Of course there's always the duel-wielding mode where you use 2 pads but that's not ideal. I wish more N64 FPS's had fully customizable controls like Quake 1 & 2 do. You can play those titles with modern(ish) controls and they play great as a result.
Just wondering, have you spent much time grappling with control scheme 1.2 (Solitaire)? It basically acts like a left-handed dual-stick setup: Aim with left stick, walk with C buttons, shoot with Z trigger, scope with R button. Oh, and inverted aim may actually be worth trying, as crazy as it sounds! Personally, I can switch between that and a typical dual-stick game (e.g., Halo) easily, and both feel natural and easy to aim with... but your mileage may vary.
I'm liking this collections series. M.I is one my fondest memories, remember waiting outside blockbuster during their shipment and renting it right when they opened. Something about it is so unique, I think due to goldeneye being the gold standard to shoot for. I remember seeing the ads at toys r us before release and thinking the game was just gonna be insane. Too bad scientologist Tom Cruz said his face cant be in a violent video game since xenu will label him a intergaltic terrorist and will totally wack up your thetan levels. Kek 64:Illuminati of Time features the best level of the game. I'm not sure you heard about that game ;) Simpleflips and Hard4games give it a 10/10
For the movie based games the two Starwars games are my favorite but Battle for Naboo definitely takes the cake. Third place goes to Golden Eye, Never got the chance to play with someone else and my sisters weren't to interested. I remember wasting countless hours watching the guards in that snow level spying what they would do through my sniper, ahh good times. Toystory 2 was ok and fun, it belonged to one of my sisters; I ended up selling it to buy another game. As for Tarzan not a fan, I agreed the controls were to weird also the game itself felt to short and lacked any sense of depth to me. I think you've missed Mission: Impossible, I haven't played that one by the way.
Awesome Video and List !!! I got GOLDENEYE but I don't have any other Game on this List. I like to get the TOY STORY 2 Game, it looks like fun. Greetings ;-)
Do you have any tips for emulating N64 Mr Plant please? Currently just running Project 64 2.3.2.202 is this what everyone does or is there something better? I do have all original hardware at the house of course but traveling its laptop and Xbox 360 game-pad. Have you ever tried a USB N64 controller? I am just wondering if you have any experience at all so I could try get the most enjoyment/closest experience to original hardware from emulation when I have to settle on trips. Sorry to just pop this here, I dont know how else I can ask you something. :) Love the channel.
I love the visuals of the HDMI modded N64 you are using for these captures, but I must say it handles rather poorly interlaced video. I hate the interlaced artifacts that are showing in the Star Wars Racer and Battle for Naboo shots.
@@n64glennplant amen .by January 1996 television got tv ratings like tv-pg tv 14 and also 1997 was the year 7 up dropped spot as their longtime mascot . and also summerslam 1997 was first time ever the wwf title changed hands with bret hart defeating the undertaker. 007 golden eye and star fox 64 soul blade street fighter ex are just some of my favorite. Video games released on consoles in 1997
I'm just thoroughly enamored by TWINE's engine. You can tell how smartly it's utilizing the hardware, those shadows, the textures, AI, animations, and it's all used to push along a rock n' roll roller coaster of a experience. A bit tough with al those buttons, but wow! And, I find the multiplayer much better for two players over goldeneye, with the bots and extra modes, and side-by-side widescreen view And I'm sorry, but does that Rugrats game actually look good? 0.o And I picked up Naboo from your previous Star Wars video, thanks!
im still not sure what was wrong with the pc version of battle for naboo? i dont have a way to play the n64 version but the pc version wasnt giving me any problems
I had a ps1 at the same time as N64 but always found it more of a disposable console because I hd copies games so if thy weren’t fun I’d stop playing very quickly with ps1
I hold the biased opinion that A Bug's Life is quite good because I played it so much when i was a kid. It was one of the 12 or so games I had back then so I learned to love it! And yes... 100%ing it is no joke, very tedious
As a Star Wars fan I never like the prequel trilogy films specially the first one but some of games set in those films are good me and my older brother really enjoyed playing the pod racer game for example. Star Wars Episode I Racer and Star Wars Battle for Naboo are good examples of movie licence video games that are better movie itself. Also am glad that you enjoy the current trilogy so far like I do and what is thoughts on the spinoff films like Rouge One and Han Solo did you enjoy them to?
4:00 Isn't the Dreamcast version of Toy Story 2 full of graphical bugs? No, seriously, this is not a rhetorical question. Is it or is it not? EDIT: While the Dreamcast version of Star Wars Episode I: Racer has better framerate, added lighting effects, more music and cutscenes, all of that comes with the cost of screen loading and the lack of the 2 hidden characters of the N64 version, so I'm a little divided between these 2 versions. On a personal note, I enjoyed Rogue Squadron on the N64 but I think I enjoyed Battle for Naboo even more due to the 2 space levels. I'm a sucker for astrophysics and space exploration.
Goldeneye was definitely the better Bond shooter, but TWINE had perhaps the best movie-to-game TV commercial of all time! ruclips.net/video/HTVGwqVc4Lc/видео.html
The best movie games on the console are GE, TWINE, Ep 1 Racer, Battle for Naboo, and Mission Impossible. The rest are meh, but those ones are pure gems
I don't rate a game based in whether I liked the movie or not. The star fighter series on ps2 were solid games based on the crappy prequel trilogy and are deffo worth playing.
@@n64glennplant star wars starfighter and jedi starfighter both on ps2 and set in the prequel universe. Both pretty good fun. Although they dont follow the stories of any of the movie characters
@@n64glennplant Oh definitely. I don't mean it in a funny way, I feel like it's so bad that it makes me feel so sad for you. Seriously, I actually feel so sorry for you man :(.
I honestly did not mind it x3 But I played it as a kid and going back to it I don't think it's horrible, not great but not the worst thing in the world.
That shit about offending the Hispanic community was a load of BS. It's only fake Hispanics who live abroad for feel the need to be offended to be able to stand out in the foreign country they live in. It pisses me off because I am Mexican and when Mario had the poncho and Mexican sombrero IN A FUCKING MEXICO-INSPIRED LEVEL I felt so honoured that people cared about us and our culture enough to replicate it and represent it in videogames. Dress like us, WE FREAKING LOVE IT! of course as long as people aren't calling us bad names and mocking us. But then again, freedom of speech huh? Don't ever listen to someone crying CULTURAL APPROPIATION...they have an agenda
Tell me about it, it’s like any time there’s a London level in a game there’s always red busses and Big Ben and I see that as a tribute not something to kick off about
I almost like both bond games equally. In the multiplayer department Goldeneye is still the king but in Single player TWINE holds up quite well compared to Goldeneye. Goldeneye has more sophisticated target animations of course but both sp segments of the game can generate a nice Bond atmosphere.
To me goldeneye was better. Not by much though. TWINE 64 was a good game, but was also different. GE's levels were less linear. Multiplayer in each game was complimentary, but different with twine having bots and king of the hill mode. I only played tarzan on the ps1 and I enjoyed it. The ps1 version was better with movie clips and bonus scenes between each level. I had a bugs life for the ps1 and enjoyed it, until it was destroyed by someone. Never beat it. It was a slower platformer then say mario.
TWINE was great when it focused on the shooting and stealth elements. The issue with TWINE is the design choices where if one hostage is hit by an enemy bullet or your bullet.....just one bullet. It's Mission Failure. It was a pain on 00 Agent difficulty. In GE hostages took several shots to die and you could let a few die before you fail. Not to mention the last level in TWINE was an awkward puzzle underwater. Have Bond in a massive shootout in the crashed sub with Renard and his goons instead. I get that EA wanted to nail that 100% Bond factor but undeniably Goldeneye holds the superior gaming design choices.

Battle For Naboo was definitely one of my favorites as a kid. It even has a complete commentary over the game that you can unlock.
Yeah one of the first games to
Do that, if not the first
It may have aged a bit but Goldeneye for the n64 was and still is amazing. Leave it to Nintendo and Rare to make a great licence game. It would be great if they re-released it(I heard there was a Goldeneye 007 remaster for the 360 that was almost completed but never released)
TWINE while not as good as Goldeneye is still amazing in it's own way. The amount of voice clips is wonderful and the level design is realistically amazing! At times it looks like a PS2 game.
I remember renting Toy Story 2 from blockbuster and it was really good(an admirable port for the N64). I remember using the gameshark for the infinite jump.
That’s right and there is quite a lot of info about the remaster but sadly I doubt we will see it anytime soon
I have easily put 300+ hours into Star Wars pod racer on my Nintendo switch. It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s addictive.

Haha thank you for appreciating my vocal chords 😂
Unfortunately missed out on Goldeneye growing up. Don't really have any favorite licenced games on N64. Though on other platforms there's: 007 Nightfire (PS2), Lord of The Rings The Return of The King (PS2), Shrek 2 (PS2), Spiderman 2 (GameCube).
Once again, thanks for another top quality video! Even though these games don't really appeal to me. You somehow make them more engaging to watch. With how they relate to the history of the N64, the developers and other factors. It's like traveling back in time.
I quite liked lord of the rings on ps2 even though I’m not a lord of the rings fan
I remember really enjoying A Bugs Life back in the day and beating it as well. I must have been 8 or so. Maybe Im biased because that was the first N64 game I ever had.
For me, GoldenEye 007 is simply that: Golden. If only we had gotten that remake for XBLA... :(
Would have been 🔥😍
Funny, this.
My favorite movie games are 'Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher-bay' and 'Blade Runner' (point n click adventure on pc from 1997, sadly there is still no GOG release). Thanks for the video Glenn, I have fond memories of playing Goldeneye against my homies back in the day.
Man don’t get me started on blade runner - that’s one of my all time fav games 👍
Goldeneye's level design and gameplay are just more tight and satisfying than TWINE. The gunplay and death animations just blow it out of the water despite being 3 years older. Also I and everyone I've played it with find TWINE's multiplayer lackluster despite a decent amount of options.
Yeah multiplayers 💯 Better in Goldeneye
I like how Twine has bots.
I still apologize to my mom for dragging her to the video store at the early hours of the day to rent a copy of 'A Bugs Life' as a child. I could not get past that first level.
Haha whoa how many times did you make her do that
@@n64glennplant Twice, once to rent Bugs Life, the other the was to buy a used copy of Doom 64 the store was getting rid of. The latter time was worth it 😂
I absolutely love my N64 (tied first as my favorite console of all time), but you see... even though I say that, there're cases where you think twice about its 64 bit performance. PS1 was a real cheater of a console (if yoy want I'll explain that), but nevertheless it ran games with higher framerate, higher res textures and sometimes even more polygons per second, and was 32 bit. For quite some time I thought that was quite insteresting... the fact is, when you see games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, both Zeldas, Conker's, TWINE and many more, those absolutely yell 64 bit.
Any of those absolutely obliterates the PS1, to a point it leaves zero doubt which console was more capable. If the entire library of N64 games isn't up to the same level, it says more about the developers than the hardware's capabilities. I mean, Goldeneye looks GORGEOUS even in 2019. That's quite a feat running on a 1996 hardware. The N64 was immensely powerful when properly programmed for.
Now if only the console wasn’t so hard to make games for we might get some new games on it
@@n64glennplant Glenn, love your channel, LOVE it!! Here's a topic suggestion for a future video: why can't developers keep producing games for old hardware? Here's why it should be a good idea: hardware is old, games for it are simple, definitely simpler than current gen games, so if a developer assembles a team of 20 people they can definitely produce AAA games. If I recall, Perfect Dark was made with a 20 people team. 20 people paycheck shouldn't worry a Rockstar, for example.
And by this point, it's quite obvious there's a clear market for it. Retro Gaming has never been so popular and so lucrative like it is now. People are buying N64, Saturn, 3do (to name a few) left and right.
I believe new N64 games should be easier (and cheaper) than ever to produce (memory is cheap, production costs are low, small teams, etc) and there's a clearly defined market that would buy every single new title produced.
What are your thoughts on this subject?
Once again, love your channel !!!! Keep up the amazing work!
A Bug's Life was my 2nd ever N64 game after Ocarina of Time....quite the steep drop in quality haha. I remember having fun messing around with it, I would just run around the levels and not take things too seriously whereas Zelda was the game I actually invested time and TRIED to make progress in.
I never actually beat A Bug's Life back in the day either, I remember the slippery controls frustrating me to the point of just not playing it anymore. Only managed to beat it recently! Overall: Meh.
Best N64 movie games were TWINE, Podracer and Toy Story 2 easily! Toy Story 2 I especially loved when I was younger and played BEFORE Banjo Kazooie...so the size of the levels wowed me.
Great video as always Glenn, takes me back!
The custom console in the thumbnail 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beauty right
Anybody else remember when EA made good games?
I’m 34 so I sure do, sad what they’ve become now
@@n64glennplant i'm so old, the country where i was born didn't exist anymore. And yes, i still can remember these "golden" EA times too.
@@bauernkind8595 what country is that?
@@Chiller31916 German Democratic Republic. But i'm 34 as Glen too. That's the joke. 😜
I don't know why, but TWINE controls always felt weird to me. I can't even pinpoint what is it, it just feels something is off. Besides that, it's a pretty good game.
Didn't have this issue with Goldeneye, but maybe I'm biased 'cause it was the first N64 game I ever played
Could be the auto aim being on by default - try running it off which should help it feel more natural
Fans: Movie based video games suck
Goldeneye: Hold my martini
True dat!
Always thought it was a crying shame not to have has a 4 player Ninja Turtles game on the N64. One of the only Nintendo consoles not to have one
True dat! Although saying that wasn’t the franchise pretty much dead during the N64 era before it made a come back? I’m not a turtles buff so I forget what was happening in those late 90s years
@@n64glennplant Glenn, it's was in somewhat of a limbo state as far as narrative releases were concerned but the fanbase was still very much there and waiting with comics and toys etc still being lapped up by fabs. Just feel they should have given it a shot as who wouldn't want a 4 player co-op sofa brawler with their buds?
If there was a Ninja Turtles game on the N64, it would've been based off the Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation tv series.
@@maverickhuntermeta4954 We do not speak of the Next Mutation 😐
Your narration is getting better mate. Good work
Cheers Dean 👍
Along with Goldeneye I played for hours on Star Wars Episode One Racer, both great games. I managed to borrow TWINE but did'nt enjoy it as much. It would be great to see Goldeneye on the Switch, although I'm sure the licencing issues make this basically impossible....
Yeah that’s why I can’t see it happening - don’t forget about the Xbox live remake they tried to do back in the old 360 days too!
@@n64glennplant Yes I remember that now, Activision were doing the port, footage has been released since online...
It looks like Nintendo Japan shut the port down when it was nearing release unfortunately. I'm glad we got the Perfect Dark HD remake however, that was a blast to play again!! (Along with B&K/Tooie)
I think most people can agree that the absolute best game based on a movie was Riddick. Both the original and sequel were incredible games!
I'm playing Goldeneye for the first time in 2019. Great fun.
"My Goldeneye" was TWINE back then.
I wonder however, why most footage has Auto Assist. No offense, but what's the point?
I even turn it off in online multiplayer games (despite the disadvantage it brings). Aim Assist ruins shooters.
When I record I generally stick to default settings in game as otherwise I end to get swamped with people saying I’ve somehow bastardised their childhood by not playing exactly how they remembered it 😂
I think I made a comment about this on your A Bug's Life review, but I grew up with the PS1 version of A Bug's Life and I absolutely loved it back then. Sure, it's not a great game overall (Especially when compared to the sublime Toy Story 2), but the way I see it is that if you play through it instead of completing every level objective, it can be a blast. Having said all that, I can totally understand why it's hated by some. :D
Goldeneye and Shadows of the Empire are my very best games of a time.
Another great video, Glenn! I have to admit I skipped most movie tie ins, but the Battle for Naboo seems to be worth checking out at least.
That’s a great title!
Was surprised to not see MIssion Impossible since its plot was loosely based on the first movie with Tom Cruise. Great video anyway
The game is based more on the tv show 👍
A licensed game I really enjoyed for the N64, though not a movie license, was Duck Dodgers.
Not many games to love from movie licenses. But Goldeneye is probably the only good one but Stars Episode 1: Racer was another good one, because I played it with friends alot.
Both classics in their own right 👍
I think the shooting in The World Is Not Enough is absolutely horrendous; the guns don’t feel meaty, the sound effects make them sound like a potato gun, and the animations of the bad guys when shot is just awful. Goldeneye 007 is superior to TWINE in every conceivable way.
Great video nonetheless! 👍🏻
Many prefer playing twine with auto aim turned off
Exactly. Goldeneye is way better! I can’t believe this is even being debated.
Didn't the Dreamcast version of Toy Story 2 had awkward controls where you can only move at a diagonal direction with the analog stick?
The controls are trickier to get to grips with but the game runs much more smoothly so is a trade off for many with no perfect way to play the game
With how successful goldeneye was, I can't believe EA didn't continue that momentum with tomorrow never dies on the n64. Missed opportunity
Yeah tell me about it
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official game of the Movie, is a great video game adaptation.
The real actors lended their voices and the music and atmosphere is superb. In fact, the atmosphere is so good that it's easy to ignore all the glitches and huge hit boxes that the creatures and dinosaurs of Skull Island have.
I remember that being great for Xbox achievement points
As much I love Goldeneye I find it almost unplayable when going back to it in 2019 mostly due to the controls and being so used to playing FPS's with 2 sticks. I just can't get accustomed to it. It wrecks my head just trying to get through a level. Of course there's always the duel-wielding mode where you use 2 pads but that's not ideal. I wish more N64 FPS's had fully customizable controls like Quake 1 & 2 do. You can play those titles with modern(ish) controls and they play great as a result.
I think I’m generally ok playing Goldeneye in this era because I played so much in my youth that it’s engrained in my soul 😂
Just wondering, have you spent much time grappling with control scheme 1.2 (Solitaire)? It basically acts like a left-handed dual-stick setup: Aim with left stick, walk with C buttons, shoot with Z trigger, scope with R button. Oh, and inverted aim may actually be worth trying, as crazy as it sounds!
Personally, I can switch between that and a typical dual-stick game (e.g., Halo) easily, and both feel natural and easy to aim with... but your mileage may vary.
I'm liking this collections series. M.I is one my fondest memories, remember waiting outside blockbuster during their shipment and renting it right when they opened. Something about it is so unique, I think due to goldeneye being the gold standard to shoot for. I remember seeing the ads at toys r us before release and thinking the game was just gonna be insane. Too bad scientologist Tom Cruz said his face cant be in a violent video game since xenu will label him a intergaltic terrorist and will totally wack up your thetan levels.
Kek 64:Illuminati of Time features the best level of the game. I'm not sure you heard about that game ;) Simpleflips and Hard4games give it a 10/10
Haha I’ve played kek its very random!
As for movie games there was also batman beyond return of the joker but I guess that's more of an extension of the TV show.
Yup that’s why I didn’t include that one but it will be part of a future episode again 👍
Looking forward to it.
Awesome video man
Thanks 🙏🏼
For the movie based games the two Starwars games are my favorite but Battle for Naboo definitely takes the cake.
Third place goes to Golden Eye, Never got the chance to play with someone else and my sisters weren't to interested.
I remember wasting countless hours watching the guards in that snow level spying what they would do through my sniper, ahh good times.
Toystory 2 was ok and fun, it belonged to one of my sisters; I ended up selling it to buy another game.
As for Tarzan not a fan, I agreed the controls were to weird also the game itself felt to short and lacked any sense of depth to me.
I think you've missed Mission: Impossible, I haven't played that one by the way.
Mission impossible is based off the tv show not the movie mostly
@@n64glennplant Oh, I didn't know there was a TV show.
dude, I used to love bugs life, I do agree that it was bad level design but I still loved it!
Tarzan is kinda underrated. Great game!
I think so too
Awesome Video and List !!!
I got GOLDENEYE but I don't have any other Game on this List. I like to get the TOY STORY 2 Game, it looks like fun.
Greetings

Another great video, cheers.

Do you have any tips for emulating N64 Mr Plant please? Currently just running Project 64 2.3.2.202 is this what everyone does or is there something better? I do have all original hardware at the house of course but traveling its laptop and Xbox 360 game-pad. Have you ever tried a USB N64 controller? I am just wondering if you have any experience at all so I could try get the most enjoyment/closest experience to original hardware from emulation when I have to settle on trips. Sorry to just pop this here, I dont know how else I can ask you something. :) Love the channel.
sorry I don't use emulators but hopefully someone here will be able to comment and help you
Has Nintendo done a movie licensed game since GoldenEye?
Not that I can think of but Goldeneye was rare and they havnt either
Does the Goldeneye Reloaded game count?
I love the visuals of the HDMI modded N64 you are using for these captures, but I must say it handles rather poorly interlaced video. I hate the interlaced artifacts that are showing in the Star Wars Racer and Battle for Naboo shots.
I loved a bugs life as a kid although playing it a couple of years ago I found it a very terrible game to be fair
I think others will remember it being better too
hey awesome review, i loved these games as a kid and i still play them now. what programs? and screen recorder do you use to make these videos?
Andy's Neighborhood theme at @ 2:27.
Tuneeeeee 🎶
@@n64glennplant The Alleys and Gullies theme is also pretty catchy, specially with the rain sound effects in the level. 🌧☂
Goldeneye is the best game
Is that your fav of all time or just of the N64 ones on this run down?
It is my favorite game for the Nintendo 64
007 golden eye was the first n64 game i ever played on. 9 2 1997 at my then and current local best buy
Very vivid memory! 😬
@@n64glennplant amen .by January 1996 television got tv ratings like tv-pg tv 14 and also 1997 was the year 7 up dropped spot as their longtime mascot . and also summerslam 1997 was first time ever the wwf title changed hands with bret hart defeating the undertaker. 007 golden eye and star fox 64 soul blade street fighter ex are just some of my favorite. Video games released on consoles in 1997
I'm just thoroughly enamored by TWINE's engine. You can tell how smartly it's utilizing the hardware, those shadows, the textures, AI, animations, and it's all used to push along a rock n' roll roller coaster of a experience. A bit tough with al those buttons, but wow!
And, I find the multiplayer much better for two players over goldeneye, with the bots and extra modes, and side-by-side widescreen view
And I'm sorry, but does that Rugrats game actually look good? 0.o
And I picked up Naboo from your previous Star Wars video, thanks!
Haha Rugrats in Paris is okay for kids but there’s no depth at all
im still not sure what was wrong with the pc version of battle for naboo? i dont have a way to play the n64 version but the pc version wasnt giving me any problems
Nothing wrong per-say it’s just that the N64 version is superior as was the case with rogue squadron too
Your N64 reviews are awesome but do you consider ever reviewing PS1 games? I'd love to see that someday!!
I had a ps1 at the same time as N64 but always found it more of a disposable console because I hd copies games so if thy weren’t fun I’d stop playing very quickly with ps1
I wonder if they used any of the original meshes from the film in Toy Story 2
I only had Battle for Naboo on PC and it was a mess. Now I know why, haha. I shunned the game without ever checking out the N64 version.
It’s THE version to own 😬
Goldeneye was the Best game ever. Multiplayer was amazing. More fun that any FPS ever made
Which game?
Oh sorry, lol goldeneye!!
12:07 Star Wars Episode I: Racer unfortunately only has 2-Player Splitscreen, not 4. :(
Yeah slip of the tongue clarified in comments here already 👍
I hold the biased opinion that A Bug's Life is quite good because I played it so much when i was a kid. It was one of the 12 or so games I had back then so I learned to love it! And yes... 100%ing it is no joke, very tedious
As a Star Wars fan I never like the prequel trilogy films specially the first one but some of games set in those films are good me and my older brother really enjoyed playing the pod racer game for example. Star Wars Episode I Racer and Star Wars Battle for Naboo are good examples of movie licence video games that are better movie itself. Also am glad that you enjoy the current trilogy so far like I do and what is thoughts on the spinoff films like Rouge One and Han Solo did you enjoy them to?
I enjoyed those and I’m looking forward to the mandolorian too
@@n64glennplant I haven't Han Solo yet but I definitely love to see it sometime in future as well as Mandolorian. :)
4:00 Isn't the Dreamcast version of Toy Story 2 full of graphical bugs? No, seriously, this is not a rhetorical question. Is it or is it not?
EDIT: While the Dreamcast version of Star Wars Episode I: Racer has better framerate, added lighting effects, more music and cutscenes, all of that comes with the cost of screen loading and the lack of the 2 hidden characters of the N64 version, so I'm a little divided between these 2 versions.
On a personal note, I enjoyed Rogue Squadron on the N64 but I think I enjoyed Battle for Naboo even more due to the 2 space levels. I'm a sucker for astrophysics and space exploration.
Goldeneye was definitely the better Bond shooter, but TWINE had perhaps the best movie-to-game TV commercial of all time! ruclips.net/video/HTVGwqVc4Lc/видео.html
very cool commercial :)
that is a great commercial isn't it
The best movie games on the console are GE, TWINE, Ep 1 Racer, Battle for Naboo, and Mission Impossible.
The rest are meh, but those ones are pure gems
Mission impossibles based on the tv show with elements from the movie 👍
Did Episode 1 Racer really have a 4 player split-screen mode? I remember it only having 2 player.
It was 2 🙃
I never did complete that game 😔 I tried and tried. Not the best at racers.
I don't rate a game based in whether I liked the movie or not. The star fighter series on ps2 were solid games based on the crappy prequel trilogy and are deffo worth playing.
I don’t know starfighter
@@n64glennplant star wars starfighter and jedi starfighter both on ps2 and set in the prequel universe. Both pretty good fun. Although they dont follow the stories of any of the movie characters
For me, The World Is Not Enough is a case where the game is VASTLY superior to the film it's based off of.
I love TWINE 007 😊
What’s your fav mission?
Love goldeneye 007 that was my game back in 1997 now oddjob is comfirmed to be cheating 😆
He defo IS! 😂
N64 Glenn Plant love you’re reviews Glenn
Toy story was so gooooood.
Which is your fav movie?
@@n64glennplant for me it's the original or the second, you can't beat the nostalgia and magic those films have!
What about Indiana Jones? I know it's "The Infernal Machine" but it's still based on Lucas Arts movies/stories.
That’s right - I’m human 😬
what about mission impossible?
The game was based off the tv series license but used some scenes from the movie for set pieces
I'm so sorry for the fact that you had to suffer through Blues Brothers 2000. Really, REALLY sorry.
It’s a train wreck haha
@@n64glennplant Oh definitely. I don't mean it in a funny way, I feel like it's so bad that it makes me feel so sad for you. Seriously, I actually feel so sorry for you man :(.
Could be worse - I could have been forced to watch the BB2000 movie 😂
@@n64glennplant Wait, the game is better than the movie? Woah, that changes something 0_0.
Bugs Life was slept on
-these berries won’t work
I remember renting the psx version of bugs life at blockbuster. Ruined my whole weekend.
I too really disliked that horribly made game
I honestly did not mind it x3 But I played it as a kid and going back to it I don't think it's horrible, not great but not the worst thing in the world.
That shit about offending the Hispanic community was a load of BS. It's only fake Hispanics who live abroad for feel the need to be offended to be able to stand out in the foreign country they live in. It pisses me off because I am Mexican and when Mario had the poncho and Mexican sombrero IN A FUCKING MEXICO-INSPIRED LEVEL I felt so honoured that people cared about us and our culture enough to replicate it and represent it in videogames. Dress like us, WE FREAKING LOVE IT! of course as long as people aren't calling us bad names and mocking us. But then again, freedom of speech huh? Don't ever listen to someone crying CULTURAL APPROPIATION...they have an agenda
Tell me about it, it’s like any time there’s a London level in a game there’s always red busses and Big Ben and I see that as a tribute not something to kick off about
Tomorrow never dies for PS1 was awful too
I remember playing that for some reason and yeah I thought it was crap
I almost like both bond games equally. In the multiplayer department Goldeneye is still the king but in Single player TWINE holds up quite well compared to Goldeneye. Goldeneye has more sophisticated target animations of course but both sp segments of the game can generate a nice Bond atmosphere.
I’m glad finally someone is saying they actually like both - was starting to think it was just me!
To me goldeneye was better. Not by much though. TWINE 64 was a good game, but was also different. GE's levels were less linear. Multiplayer in each game was complimentary, but different with twine having bots and king of the hill mode. I only played tarzan on the ps1 and I enjoyed it. The ps1 version was better with movie clips and bonus scenes between each level. I had a bugs life for the ps1 and enjoyed it, until it was destroyed by someone. Never beat it. It was a slower platformer then say mario.
I knew that one day I would finally come across someone who liked a bugs life game 😂
@@n64glennplant It's was far from the best. I have a stronger tolerance for things then others.
No Mission Impossible on the list Glenn?
The license was from TV show but some scenes from the movies were used in the game which is why it doesn’t follow the plot of the movie exactly
i prefer Tomorrow Never Dies and the World is Not Enough over Golden Eye. in fact i have never even played Golden eye.
Goldeneye is way better than twine 😳 it’s decent but definitely not on the same level as goldeneye
They each have their own strengths and weaknesses but overall I can still enjoy either to this day
TWINE was great when it focused on the shooting and stealth elements. The issue with TWINE is the design choices where if one hostage is hit by an enemy bullet or your bullet.....just one bullet. It's Mission Failure. It was a pain on 00 Agent difficulty. In GE hostages took several shots to die and you could let a few die before you fail. Not to mention the last level in TWINE was an awkward puzzle underwater. Have Bond in a massive shootout in the crashed sub with Renard and his goons instead. I get that EA wanted to nail that 100% Bond factor but undeniably Goldeneye holds the superior gaming design choices.
The n64 didnt had a port of the stuart little 2 game? it was like the toy story game but way worst
No it didn’t sadly 😂
Sadly or gladly, depends of who you ask
Will there be a N64 mini classic?
I’d expect so eventually
