and all for what to prey on Gamer's nostalgic memories of a simpler Time by selling them these retro inspired dark plates and call that a dark plate let's put it aside for now and focus on the star of the show that whoops the world's first 64-bit gaming console not that any of that really mattered it ran in 32-bit mode most of the time since it didn't really need either the additional memory address space or the additional Precision that was afforded to it by having a 64-bit chip it's just that Nintendo like much of the gaming industry had kind of painted themselves into a corner releasing 8-bit and 16-bit then 32-bit consoles and marketing to Consumers that more bits meant more performance when in fact that is not truly the case of course it didn't stop Nintendo from leaning super hard into the 64-bit branding in fact even the logo has 64 faces and 64 vertices to refer to the 64-bit capability of the machine there's actually a lot of kind of performance and nuts and bolts marketing going on here that you just don't see from Modern Nintendo I mean the frequency of the pro 94 megahertz I mean I'm not saying that's a bad thing to talk about it's just can you imagine Nintendo talking about the performance of the switch today I mean it would be a pretty verbose apology letter that's kind of the only thing that I could imagine them saying about it complete controller for every move with the unique analog control stick that's right one analog control stick by 1999 when this one came out boy did they ever have a library of games of course the Nintendo 64 originally launched in 1996 and it was only a few years later that they released these fun colors ice fire smoke jungle watermelon and grape and I gotta tell you it's not the kind of thing that as a 90s kid myself people were running out and buying a new Nintendo 64 in order to get the new colors but if you had the new colors it was pretty cool even just the controllers I mean I didn't own one so I never got to play with the cool you know clear controllers or even the first party controllers but I got to Envy the kids who had them not everything about 90s video game marketing should make a return but I gotta say that's fantastic Series yeah yeah look at that anymore that's awesome it's just fun wow this really is complete in box whether it's on account of the packaging fading or something else those colors are very different I I was looking at the packaging thinking wow dbrand really didn't get the colors very right but compared to the console itself yeah that is pretty darn close obviously there's different colors of things inside which make it a little bit tricky but especially if you look at it next to the controller damn whoa Nintendo Power Magazine I couldn't afford Nintendo Power Magazine I was a poor kid what happens if I actually ship this now probably nothing a Year's subscription for 20 bucks how the devil did they do an entire magazine and shipping for a dollar fifty an issue oh oh there was other stuff to order in here oh store 64. now that you've got the world's best video game system get the most out of it I don't know if the world agreed PlayStation PlayStation one there's a number of reasons for that if I had to boil it down to two things I'd say Sony's triumph over Nintendo this generation came down to support for third-party game developers and the choice of a disc based storage system rather than a cartridge I mean as a Super Nintendo kid I never had one of these or a PlayStation you know I would go to friends houses with PlayStations and I'd go this is ridiculous the loading times when do you even play the game but it enabled developers to build much much larger experiences I mean Final Fantasy 7 how many cartridges would you have needed it would have been a 15 cartridge game and would have cost like 400 how much do you guys want these Collectibles right now they actually kind of suck like the quality compared to what you can make inexpensively these days is sort of trash but like they're so I don't know genuine backpack case 26 bucks I mean that makes our backpack look like a rip-off lttstore.com that is just about the stiffest feeling N64 joystick I have ever touched even back in 1996 I don't think I felt one this good oh I I said owned one power supply is only sort of external my theory seeing something like this would be that it would allow them to manufacture the consoles all the same and then just swap out the power supplies depending on the region they were going to be shipping to but because they region locked the consoles I don't really know what the point of this is just a built-in power supply with extra steps I mean maybe they found that the failure rates were quite high in testing and they wanted to be able to easily fly I don't know ah right the expansion Port this was used for the Nintendo disk drive which I think only got a handful of games all of which were Japan exclusive that that's right right didn't it get like eight games or something like that I don't remember how many but not very many basically wasn't a thing the business end was here and I think we've actually got a couple cartridges for today right the most common ones dbrand spent all their money on the consoles and couldn't afford to send us any cool cartridges uh let's go with Mario Kart 64. on the top there's a memory expansion Port that was needed for just a handful of games uh among them uh Donkey Kong 64 Perfect Dark it supported four controllers which was Flippin cool at the time though not that anyone that I knew had four controllers just because controllers like now were really really expensive but theoretically you could play games for a player um the only time I think I ever played a four control Fuller game was on a PlayStation with a multi-tap with one of my friends but we didn't have any other friends so I think it was just me him and his brother so we only made it to three anyway the point is the game supported four controllers oh there's one more expansion port to show you guys though the bottom of the controller was used for memory expansion so you could save your game like that kind of memory and then also for rumble packs oh of course they sent more colors okay um those ones weren't complete in box but yeah can I may I place has we have smoke per Smash Bros in it and we also got an orange one then everything's getting very chaotic over here right now I think of all of this was to be able to compare the colors of the dbrand dark plates with the original controllers and consoles smoke looks pretty darn good and what was the orange called again wow yeah yeah that does look fire now the question is I know I'm not in too much trouble because none of these were sealed in box but they're all in great condition so how much trouble would I get into if I were to disassemble one of them with this screwdriver let's put this away for now I'm not opening up any of these consoles now there's one color that we don't have a comparison for Atomic purple consoles were exceedingly rare only a handful of prototypes existed but there were controllers so dbrand felt like ah screw it we'll do an atomic purple console if you want to make your PlayStation 5 look all Atomic purple retro I think it looks flipping awesome I think it's probably the second best color I didn't think I would like ice as much but in person I think you're right David I'm with you ice looks amazing I guess we're set up to play on the smoke console though so why don't we do that and then I will just use the ice controller now you actually had an N64 hey yeah I remember getting mine and crying when my mom opened the trunk and the N64 box was there but it was just a plain black it was one of these cool see-through ones did you really just try to start the mushroom cup with me moo Farm is Elite Farm if you really want oh perfect I don't even know what button makes the cartoon ask you which one that is oh there's no boost I forgot uh yep oh I missed I missed this is not going well okay yeah you you do not want to lose tonight um oh and the checkpoint was so far back I missed again oh thank goodness I just made it I got time I got time are you just trying to like Bullet Bill to the end because I don't think that's a thing in this game oh no yeah sorry I'm not trying to be rude or anything but you suck listen I'm prepping for game link okay my controller doesn't work uh I'm straight into the wall my controller is legit broken yeah that sounds like cancer it's making I can't turn to the left okay we're gonna do full right to turn around then yeah you were throwing a lot of I got the little brother controller you did not stick drip you talked about how great the controller was before we started okay so I don't even want to hear it kabad you got this go left oh no I lost okay I just gotta make this left turn sorry because it doesn't work dbrand they really hooped me I gotta go right to go left I honestly thought you were just like joking maybe for the new CEO at game Throw but not it's like cheap my preference is blocked Port but I'll play double deck as well let's go block four go block yeah I want to beach home turf you want to beat me on my home term well you're gonna have to beat me so that's gonna be tough all right let's see game link is never gonna have me on yeah I mean not everyone can be a true gamer all right well thanks for having me on uh you could have at least tried to hit me once I did I did try did you really yeah oh that's me right now crying because Mario and this is me oh finally unboxing the actual product from our spot they did they totally did they ripped off the color scheme of our color block hoodie wait did they do this on purpose this is our ShortCircuit color block hoodie and they totally ripped it off this is cool they did super detailed x-ray scans of the PlayStation 5 so when you put these stickers on you will be seeing exactly what you would see if you were Superman like not creepy Superman who uses your power to look inside your game console and not your neighbor's wall gotta respect the attention to detail even the fan filters are blue that's cool all right dbrand you did pretty good today these look sick you didn't get me canceled for unboxing a brand new inbox n64. oh yeah they've
