You know Glenn, obviously I don’t know you personally, but just know that often times in the past your videos brought a smile to my face. I really thank you for that.
Gotta respect the bravery of the game developers back then, they really put a lot of thought and innovation into creating these gems rather than relying on the familiar, tried-and-true formulas
Well, 3D gaming was innovative at the time and so developers were more willing to experiment with things as there were no established formulas for 3D gaming yet. Now that this medium has evolved, games are no longer wholly made around being 3D, but it's now more of the "backdrop" for games, if that makes sense. Now we see the same with VR gaming, many weird games coming out to experiment with the technology, but as it becomes more mainstream, innovation will drop and we will see more generic games.
yeah its a shame that these days there just seems to be a lot of similarity between what's being made and what's selling and if somethings unique its probably from a tiny studio or a one person team and feels more like a tech demo due to the limitations of making a larger scale game
@@tarantinoish They just aren’t intuitive. Grabbing an item with B and shaking it with the direction pad was an odd choice. And moving with the C buttons and/or the directional pad could’ve been simplified by utilizing the analog stick. You’re probably too young to remember, but critics noted the controls as the weakest aspect of the game. I’m always happy to educate, though.
Body Harvest was amazing. It's actually in the process being remade by a group of fans! I'll always be slightly hopeful that Rockstar will give it a remaster.
I'd love to see Diddy Kong Racing 2!!! Mario Cart still hasn't caught up to the breakthroughs DKR innovated. I remember just flying around the overworld for hours, mastering that great plane. And that feeling when you unlocked the real final courses!!! I loved that as a kid! Also, it's great to have you back Glenn, I missed your content. Sorry about your loss, I'm glad you took some time for yourself. No matter what, I know I will be here every time you post a video. Glenn, you are the best!
@@n64glennplant didn't Nintendo have a problem giving Rare the rights to Donkey Kong? I thought that's why Donkey is the damsel in distress for DKC 2 &3? Plus DK being in Mario kart, I imagine Nintendo would have put the kebosh on Donkey Kong racing, no?
Jet Force Gemini is always the first title that appears in my head when talking about one hit wonders. I have no idea about its sales but it's crazy to me that a game with generally good reviews like that didn't get some sort of continuation. Maybe in a sequel they wouldn't require you to save every single tribal to complete the game which would fix the biggest glaring issue with the first one.
Beetle Adventure Racing was indeed one of my favorite racing / multiplayer racers on the system. My guess for the lack of sequel is that nowadays I just can't imagine a racer that is rather lengthy / slow like that game to be successful. The game only had like 6 tracks which had a great size but for a follow up I am sure they would dumb it down a bit to make it more feasible to create more tracks
@@n64glennplant I guess there's a difference between musicians who strike gold once and not for want of trying can't do again, and the likes of Rare, who didn't even try to make Blast Corps 2.
I got into reviewing games here largely because of your channel. I subscribed with a different account years ago and watched every single video one by one. I had wondered what happened to you and was sad to find the reason why you had stopped making videos. I’m sorry. But I’m so glad you’re back and kicking ass again. I had subscribed to many game reviewers but I absolutely loved your videos. Your cadence and genuine love is rare nowadays. It’s what inspired me to try my hand at it with my own style. There’s not a cynical bone in your body for this stuff and it’s refreshing to see. So thank you for that. Now I’m subscribed with two channels lol. Keep on knocking it out of the park.
always grateful to have as many subs as possible, but much prefer being able to have the time to also interact with everyone which becomes harder the larger the channel grows
I started going through your content a few weeks ago longingly thinking about the days when the channel uploaded content. And to my surprise a video appeared on the channel a week or so ago. I couldn’t believe it, Glenn is back! Hope you’ve been well. These lil videos mean a lot to some of us and make our day. Thank you so much for taking the time to give love to my favorite console, the N64.
Sooooo good to hear your voice again 🙂 For me you're a real jewel on N64 Reviews 😃🎉🎉 Hybrid Heaven finished the Game years ago on christmas & it was surprising good even with the weird story which get a bit more deeper, battle system also unique and the ost damn good😃
@@n64glennplant lol! I understand what you've been though, and the fact your back on here doing what you love is awesome. My 1st n64 experience - I got the Mario 64 bundle for Christmas 1997 it blew my mind...i spent the first hour just jumping and climbing the trees outside the castle. Then my second game was ocarina of time...the love of my life still to this day.
Glad you mentioned Mischief Makers - that game is seriously underrated Space Station Silicon Valley is one of those games I never got far in and IDK why. Maybe I need to get back on that horse Never beat Hybrid Heaven either. Love the concept, but far away checkpoints and enemies that can straight up murder you is a lethal combo
N64 Glenn Plant I appreciate the response and glad to hear you’re doing great. Remember to never overwhelm yourself. If ever there is another hiatus on your end, you can bet most of us will still be here for you!
So glad to see you're back! I loved most of these games back on the day, but TBH I never played Beetle Racing cuz I stuck to Cruisin', F-Zero, Mario Kart, and Diddy Kong Racing. I guess I'll have to try it now. I really do hope we someday get remakes/remasters/sequels to Mischief Makers, Hybrid Heaven, and Body Harvest though. Treasure Replay collection when??
Glad to see you posting again... you and I had several conversations in the past and I was afraid that your channel was gonna remain dormant. Keep up the good work Glenn and welcome back.
My friends dad in elementary school worked on Beetle Adventure Racing-I remember she got the game several weeks early. I thought it was such a fun game that no one really knew about
So glad to see you back making videos! I have to share my funny story about how I came to know Mischief Makers. As a kid my neighborhood would often have yard sales, at one of those random yard sales I would always look for video games first. Nintendo 64 being the modern console of the time I saw mischief makers. I picked it up and was looking at it, and some random guy came up to me (I assumed he was guy having the yard sale, lol) and asked if I wanted it, I said of course, but I have no money. He told me that I could just keep it. I was so grateful, until he walked over with the real yard sale owner and told him to check my pockets because he saw me steal an N64 game. He totally set me up, and I started crying trying to explain that the guy told me I could have it, and I think the yard sale owner finally caught on that the guy was lying, and ended up letting me keep the game, and that’s how Mischief makers got into my collection, lol
4:02 Body Harvest, that's the next game I'm live streaming in my challenge to beat every North American N64 game. It's will be the 58th game out of 296 beaten so far.
Great to have you back! Damn I really missed out on space station and beatle adventure racing as a kid, but thankfully thanks to n64 magazine giving body harvest a good review I picked it up even if I had never heard about it before then. one of my favorite games on n64 and the first game I ever noticed the atmosphere in.
That Beetle Adventure Racing looks really fun and with the special cable I got the graphics for it will make it look even better. I mostly played kart racers and of course the F-1 games because who wouldn't want to play a game with Michael Schumacher in? So sad about his injury though...he's still fighting after all these years
Silicon Valley's story is so absolutely bonkers that, when I explained it to school friends while we were waiting our turn during a judo competition, they didn't believe me. They said I made it up. Man, what a blast it was.
These are the kind of games that make me love the N64, although I didn't grow up with it and never owned one until 2018. It's just that many N64 exclusives are full of crazy ideas and unlike anything else. Blast Corps and Space Station Silicon Valley are two games I love, and they are pretty similar in their puzzle element. Beetle Adventure Racing is awesome, and I play it regularly in order to find all secrets. I also want to love Body Harvest, but it's too stressful and depressing, plus in the PAL version you must play Hero mode to see all the levels. So I only beat the first two areas (Greece and Java), and gave up on the mission where you have to save children in America. As you said, the game can be very confusing in its objectives.
Hey Glenn, just wanted to let you know, I really appreciate your content, your calm voice and style of presentation is really soothing. Hope you're doing well mate.
Yakouchuu 2 is the only sound novel game for the console, only in Japan. But it was notable because there were 20+ sound novel games on PS1 but N64 only got one (a sound novel is a kind of interactive book/visual novel but with mainly text-game)
Learned a lot watching a few of your videos as someone unfamiliar with the N64. New viewer here. Silicon Valley I've heard of and love the concept and one of the racing ones stood out.
I know I said this on your Hybrid Heaven review years ago, I said it is one of my favorite all time RPGs. I'd much rather DDT mutants and have a crazy 3 part final boss that is so difficult I remember smashing a controller (never did it again, as I couldn't just go buy a new one as a 12 year old), than just have a button press and wait to shoot a hand gun like with FF7. I still have that game complete with box and manual. I was hoping that one day people would appreciate it as much as I did. But my copy of worms and sealed perfect dark are worth much more.
What pains me the most about Mischief Makers is that, alongside Mario RPG, is basically stuck in Square Enix's jail. Not only that but Treasure is basically dead nowadays.
I think a remaster would be perfect. The music, atmosphere and the vehicles. The UFO being the best! I still remember how shocked I was flying that thing
Maybe a short comparison. It's just that little bit different, the car are Holden Special Vehicles, the announcer is a stereotyped Aussie, the cars are faster and you can Unlock some of the V8 Supercar Skins. Everyone knows about the NTSC-U Clayfighter Sculptor's Cut and you did mention on the the Automobili Lamborghini episode that the Japanese Super Speed Race 64 was the superior release. So maybe.
Maybe an episode that cover games with alternative releases like Mia Hamm Soccer 64 and Chameleon Twist Japanese release and Super Speed Race 64 and HSV Adventure Racing and others?
Blast Corps was the first that came to mind, glad to see it on here! Mace The Dark Age looks pretty entertaining too, haven't heard of that one before. You often talk about the music for various games, was wondering if you'd make 1 or multiple video's on which games has some of your favorite soundtracks? Or maybe underrated soundtracks? Something like that.
I really wish Nintendo would buy Rare from Microsoft along with all their licenses. They could do so much with that studio. Retro is kind of the new Rare (almost), but I can imagine a lot of their stuff revamped. It would be killer! Also, Mischief Makers was a great game. A remake/sequel would be great.
Beetle Adventure Racing is pretty awesome. When I was young I never noticed how much the performance was all over the place. It's not a very good experience today unless it's being played on an overclockable N64 emulator. Every now & then I load up the rom. Btw Space Station Silicon Valley is a gem. I'd love to see it remade on Unreal Engine 4 or something. My wallet is ready.
I always liked Tetrisphere, I know Nintendo just slapped the Tetris licence on it but it was a pretty innovative 3D puzzle game with lots of modes. Back to see ya back btw!
love this video man SSSV is so goated and ahead of its time. I think you covered some of the best one hot wonders. I know GOEMON had two games but the rpg one is great.
So many come to mind, like Starshot, Buck Bumble, Tonic Trouble (I know, same universe as Rayman), Conker's Bad Fur Day, Tetrisphere, a sequel to Mystical Ninja 64
@@n64glennplant Yes, and yes. That being said, the sequel to Mystical Ninja was nowhere near as ambitious nor even the same type of game - Pretty good in its own right, though.
Space Station SV was my favourite game. But there was a bug that meant you couldn't pick up one of the gold collectibles, so no one ever got to see the good ending. I still sometimes wonder what it was
Hibrid heaven was a game I did not understood when i was young but now that I understand how to play it it is great. Just like I did not understood Zelda 2
Rare did have plans for a diddy kong racing called Donkey kong racing on the GC. You can say that the world is not enough unofficial sequel to goldeneye
I've gone back and played old Need For Speeds in the PS1 era recently, and Beetle Adventure Racing (or HSV in my country) feels soooo much like an old Need For Speed. I'm guessing it started as Need For Speed 64 (which at some point disappeared off release schedules) . I'm guessing they wanted to make more fun and Nintendo like similar to Need For Speed Nitro on the Wii eventually it went onto Adventure Racing, or didn't want to waste the engine they had made for the N64 for NFS. This is just pure speculation but funny how we saw this and not a NFS on N64, which was a hugeeeee franchise back in those days.
Fantastic video. Glenn, I really think you should do a sequel to this video but called "Cash Cows". The N64 games that just kept getting sequels until they were milked dry. Games like the WWF and WCW games Mario Party The Bomberman games And the Jikkyō Powerful Pro series. Edit: Oh my god there was 8 NFL games. What the fu-
Three quick things: 1. Great video. Such a cool theme for a video. 2. I am also a child of the 80's and I know exactly what you mean by listening to some 80's music groups and because you liked a song of theirs and upon listening to the album it comes from being like, "Okay . . . what?!" The Church comes to mind. Under The Milky Way was and excellent, hauntingly beautiful song, but the rest of the album (titled "Starfish") was well . . . kind of boring. 3. Pro-tip to people that own (or plan to own) the mentioned Space Station Silicon Valley game: if your cartridge freezes during the opening sequences, this is a problem with earlier releases of the game when you have an expansion pak in the console. If you put the regular jumper pak in, you can play the game with no issues.
good shouts, glover actually has a sequel that was cancelled so it was at least planned - rocket was close to making the list as that aint making a come back any time soon
There were so many exclusive N64 games that came out because there was such a gap in the market for anything due to most big publishers not supporting it. That's why over time it's become a system still worry playing. For me even compared to something like the Dreamcast that has more games it just doesn't have enough games that make it feel as unique to go back to.

Yakouchuu 2 is the only sound novel game for the console, only in Japan. But it was notable because there were 20+ sound novel games on PS1 but N64 only got one (a sound novel is a kind of interactive book/visual novel but with mainly text-game)
Yup , did a Japanese eye episode on it 👋
Happy you're back!
Me too!
Learned a lot watching a few of your videos as someone unfamiliar with the N64. New viewer here. Silicon Valley I've heard of and love the concept and one of the racing ones stood out.
Glad I can help shed some light on some of the consoles titles for you!
I know I said this on your Hybrid Heaven review years ago, I said it is one of my favorite all time RPGs. I'd much rather DDT mutants and have a crazy 3 part final boss that is so difficult I remember smashing a controller (never did it again, as I couldn't just go buy a new one as a 12 year old), than just have a button press and wait to shoot a hand gun like with FF7. I still have that game complete with box and manual. I was hoping that one day people would appreciate it as much as I did. But my copy of worms and sealed perfect dark are worth much more.
they'll both be worth a whole lot!
Silicon Valley is one of the best games on the N64.
very underrated
Very good. Tough in places, very hard platforming
Beetle Adventure Racing is one of my favorite titles for N64. Friends and I still get together and play the battle mode and racing to this day 👌🏼
Such an awesome title isn’t it
Happy to see you're back man! 🎮💯
For some reason I read that as: "Happy to see you're a black man!" LOL
well there was one time in the Maldives.....;) haha
thanks James and your games
The Earth Defense Force series is the closest thing we ever get to getting a spiritual successor to Body Harvest.
There’s a channel on here who are doing a remake so maybe that’s the closest
Hi, it's been a long while now, good to see you review games once more.
well 7 days is a long time from some perspectives haha
So good to see you back Glenn! 👍
thanks Cecil I appreciate that
What pains me the most about Mischief Makers is that, alongside Mario RPG, is basically stuck in Square Enix's jail.
Not only that but Treasure is basically dead nowadays.
I know man, tell me about it. Such a mess isn’t it
good to see new videos from you!
Thanks lars
Thank you for all the new content recently, Glenn. #LongLiveTheN64
thanks scruff !
Hybrid Heaven is tough to get in to, but when you do it's easy to love.
yeah its absolute gold if you get into it
Glad your back glen. Great content as always. You make lots of people happy. Fair play
Thanks Robert, I do try and if I can bring a little joy to someone’s day that’s what it’s all about
A sequel to body harvest would be amazing
how about a remaster ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think a remaster would be perfect. The music, atmosphere and the vehicles. The UFO being the best! I still remember how shocked I was flying that thing
@@BlueCollaredGrit It's already in progress :D
Yay, Glenn's back! ❤️❤️
3 videos in the past 3 weeks make that a big yes!
This and SNES Drunk are my fav channels
I live SNES drunk too, a collab one day would be cool!
Hybrid heaven had atmosphere, story, graphics, tension and some awesome combat. I thought of it as my way to play Metal Gear Solid on an N64!!!
Yeah it’s just a shame it wasn’t as good as that hey!
I feel bad I missed out on playing some of these titles as a kid.
Same here!!! You re not alone friend.
at least you can now revisit them though!
Emulate
I'm so glad you're back and can't wait for more content from you. Please show HSV Adventure Racing more love. lol
its such an awesome title isn't it? ill have to think of a topic that I could cover just that game and do even more of a full episode on it
Maybe a short comparison. It's just that little bit different, the car are Holden Special Vehicles, the announcer is a stereotyped Aussie, the cars are faster and you can Unlock some of the V8 Supercar Skins. Everyone knows about the NTSC-U Clayfighter Sculptor's Cut and you did mention on the the Automobili Lamborghini episode that the Japanese Super Speed Race 64 was the superior release. So maybe.
Maybe an episode that cover games with alternative releases like Mia Hamm Soccer 64 and Chameleon Twist Japanese release and Super Speed Race 64 and HSV Adventure Racing and others?
Blast Corps was the first that came to mind, glad to see it on here! Mace The Dark Age looks pretty entertaining too, haven't heard of that one before. You often talk about the music for various games, was wondering if you'd make 1 or multiple video's on which games has some of your favorite soundtracks? Or maybe underrated soundtracks? Something like that.
thats a good shout, I have a long list of this type of video to get through and that idea is on the list in a few different forms
@@n64glennplant Sounds good, looking forward to it!
One game I would love to see make a comeback is Jet Force Gemini, I feel they could really expand on it with modern gaming and hardware
Oh man tell me about it! At least we’re getting a proper perfect dark sequel now
I really wish Nintendo would buy Rare from Microsoft along with all their licenses. They could do so much with that studio. Retro is kind of the new Rare (almost), but I can imagine a lot of their stuff revamped. It would be killer! Also, Mischief Makers was a great game. A remake/sequel would be great.
Oh shit! You're back! That's awesome to see man. Loving the new videos. :)
Thanks and I’m glad to see you still around
Also have to reiterate how glad I am you're back. 🤗
thanks Dan :)
I haven't tried most of these titles for some reason. Now I want to play every single one of them. XD
you should play them all right now :)
@@n64glennplant I'm gonna check them out on the ED64 today. But I'm already checking the cartridges' prices.
Beetle Adventure Racing is pretty awesome. When I was young I never noticed how much the performance was all over the place. It's not a very good experience today unless it's being played on an overclockable N64 emulator. Every now & then I load up the rom.
Btw Space Station Silicon Valley is a gem. I'd love to see it remade on Unreal Engine 4 or something. My wallet is ready.
SSSV on unreal engine would be mega wouldn't it, seen the unreal 5 tech demo?
I have. It looks sooo good. I'd love to see a remake of SSSV on UE5.
Miss you Glenn, have A good day.
thank you :) you too
I always liked Tetrisphere, I know Nintendo just slapped the Tetris licence on it but it was a pretty innovative 3D puzzle game with lots of modes. Back to see ya back btw!
That’s a great game, really unique and cool to play. Good to see you too Ryan 👍
Thank you! The N64 is by far my favorite console of all time!
Love what you're doing dude
thanks kade
RIP Treasure. Not officially gone, but not shipped a game since 2014.
need more treasure don't we
love this video man SSSV is so goated and ahead of its time. I think you covered some of the best one hot wonders. I know GOEMON had two games but the rpg one is great.
Glad you enjoyed! I liked both goemon games myself! both different in their own ways
So many come to mind, like Starshot, Buck Bumble, Tonic Trouble (I know, same universe as Rayman), Conker's Bad Fur Day, Tetrisphere, a sequel to Mystical Ninja 64
Starshot just wasn’t very good, mystical ninja was part of a series and there was a sequel even on n64 👍
@@n64glennplant Yes, and yes. That being said, the sequel to Mystical Ninja was nowhere near as ambitious nor even the same type of game - Pretty good in its own right, though.
Blast Corps is the most fun I have ever had with a console game.
Space Station SV was my favourite game. But there was a bug that meant you couldn't pick up one of the gold collectibles, so no one ever got to see the good ending. I still sometimes wonder what it was
Hibrid heaven was a game I did not understood when i was young but now that I understand how to play it it is great. Just like I did not understood Zelda 2
Yay nice to see you back Glenn!
Body Harvest Remaster is in progress Updates on our channel
Rare did have plans for a diddy kong racing called Donkey kong racing on the GC. You can say that the world is not enough unofficial sequel to goldeneye
Yeah it’s a shame DKR was cancelled when msoft purchased them
Welcome back Glenn we missed. You
thanks slaven
I've gone back and played old Need For Speeds in the PS1 era recently, and Beetle Adventure Racing (or HSV in my country) feels soooo much like an old Need For Speed. I'm guessing it started as Need For Speed 64 (which at some point disappeared off release schedules) . I'm guessing they wanted to make more fun and Nintendo like similar to Need For Speed Nitro on the Wii eventually it went onto Adventure Racing, or didn't want to waste the engine they had made for the N64 for NFS. This is just pure speculation but funny how we saw this and not a NFS on N64, which was a hugeeeee franchise back in those days.
thats a good point and yeah both EA owned so would make sense wouldn't it
Fantastic video.
Glenn, I really think you should do a sequel to this video but called "Cash Cows". The N64 games that just kept getting sequels until they were milked dry.
Games like the WWF and WCW games
Mario Party
The Bomberman games
And the Jikkyō Powerful Pro series.
Edit: Oh my god there was 8 NFL games. What the fu-
That’s a fantastic idea maybe I’ll use that soon
Three quick things:
1. Great video. Such a cool theme for a video.
2. I am also a child of the 80's and I know exactly what you mean by listening to some 80's music groups and because you liked a song of theirs and upon listening to the album it comes from being like, "Okay . . . what?!" The Church comes to mind. Under The Milky Way was and excellent, hauntingly beautiful song, but the rest of the album (titled "Starfish") was well . . . kind of boring.
3. Pro-tip to people that own (or plan to own) the mentioned Space Station Silicon Valley game: if your cartridge freezes during the opening sequences, this is a problem with earlier releases of the game when you have an expansion pak in the console. If you put the regular jumper pak in, you can play the game with no issues.
Glover and Rocket: robot on wheels also fit well in the category of N64 one-hit wonders.
good shouts, glover actually has a sequel that was cancelled so it was at least planned - rocket was close to making the list as that aint making a come back any time soon
N64 Glenn Plant I love Mischief Makers as well. Great video, I am very happy that the channel is bringing us more awesome N64 content. Thanks, Glenn!
There were so many exclusive N64 games that came out because there was such a gap in the market for anything due to most big publishers not supporting it. That's why over time it's become a system still worry playing. For me even compared to something like the Dreamcast that has more games it just doesn't have enough games that make it feel as unique to go back to.
thats a great point, so many unique experiences that you just didn't get elsewhere
Body Harvest A.K.A. Grand Theft Auto 64
amen to that
Yes glad you're back
thank you , glad you're here too :)
body harvest was ahead of itz time
It'll be ahead once more, when we're done with it

Glenn, have you made a video about your N64 collection? As a fellow collector, I'd love to see that. Cheers!
I stopped collecting a number of years ago now
