Print media is always overlooked in all industries, although (especially with regards to magazines) it's often incredibly difficult to find them even if you *want* to support them.

I can happily say that I couldn't have done any more to support Edge over the years though!

Ah brilliant, really glad you enjoyed it! I was a little worried it might suffer a bit since you played it *right* after the 3 Ueda games.

And yeah, quite unexpectedly emotional come the end eh!

Good aren’t they! I love the first two.

There are some more free ones on the My Nintendo website too. You have to log in and redeem them though.

It’s not dirty, it’s bathed in the golden light of a glorious sunset! 😅

Everything you’ve said there applies perfectly to me too 🤝

I’m not sure. This is where they are, lots of them are available to redeem for 0 points

Haha. Looking at the gif and pic I’m not actually sure he *does* read

Glad to hear it! It’s the same for me too. I definitely played multiplayer N64 games waaaaay more than any other console.

It helped that I was 12-15ish years old during the N64 days so had plenty of time on my hands!

Absolutely. I’d say the majority of my best gaming memories involve the N64 🥲

Nintendo are currently giving away some free wallpapers to My Nintendo members.

Here are 4 of my favourites to save you logging in and redeeming them

It’s still the console that means the absolute most to me.

(Lovely collection you have there by the way 👏)

If loving the N64 is wrong, I don’t want to be right

Oh I bet! I’d love to write something about it at some point. Not least the fact that it’s one of very few games that not only doesn’t age, but actually seems to get *more* impressive the older it gets! Haha

That’s exactly it. The game just *feels* so good to play.

It’s nearly 30 years old and I don’t think anything has matched the way it depicts the feeling of interacting on and with water. Not even its own sequel!

Yeah I enjoyed it. Pretty simple overall but it controls really nicely and that music *really* elevates the whole experience

Haha, sounds like a great day to me!

Just finished Refunct, a lovely little first-person puzzle/platformer with a gorgeous score that sounds like it’s been ripped right out of the Tetris Effect soundtrack.

It’s only about 30 minutes long, but you can often find it on Steam for less than £1

Haha, definitely. I haven’t actually played it since the N64 days so I should really play it again sometime. As I mentioned I really enjoyed it at the time

Ooh lovely. I really hope you enjoy it! 😄

I was always a big fan of this one!

Same. Not that I need much persuading mind!

Haha, and you’ll never get old!

Nearly 30 years on and no game does water like Wave Race

It’s brilliant, isn’t it. After all this time the gameplay (and water!) simply never dates.

An N64 classic to start the 4-day weekend

Reading all of the comments on here over the last few days I was starting to think I was the only person in the world who’d never played it 😅

Glad to know there’s at least two of us!

Yeah the game was stunning at the time. Those weather and rain effects in particular as you say.

Definitely helped by all of us getting HD TVs for the first time around then!

Yeah I agree with that, and lots of games are getting very bloated these days.

At least they’re not selling all of these characters, costumes and customisations as extras like most games I guess (albeit with a very high price of entry!)
