00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:07.919
oh thank God dbrand was about this close

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:13.080
to getting me lynched by an angry mob of retro gaming enthusiasts and all for

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:18.779
what to prey on Gamer's nostalgic memories of a simpler Time by selling

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:20.820
them these retro inspired dark plates

00:00:18.779 --> 00:00:26.039
and call that a dark plate let's put it aside for now and focus on the star of

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:32.460
the show that whoops the world's first

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.200
64-bit gaming console not that any of

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:38.520
that really mattered it ran in 32-bit mode most of the time since it didn't

00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:42.239
really need either the additional memory address space or the additional

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:46.739
Precision that was afforded to it by having a 64-bit chip it's just that

00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:51.600
Nintendo like much of the gaming industry had kind of painted themselves

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:55.140
into a corner releasing 8-bit and 16-bit

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.300
then 32-bit consoles and marketing to

00:00:55.140 --> 00:01:01.140
Consumers that more bits meant more performance when in fact that is not

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:06.360
truly the case of course it didn't stop Nintendo from leaning super hard into

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:13.619
the 64-bit branding in fact even the logo has 64 faces and 64 vertices to

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.520
refer to the 64-bit capability of the

00:01:13.619 --> 00:01:19.200
machine there's actually a lot of kind of

00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:23.220
performance and nuts and bolts marketing going on here that you just don't see

00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:27.540
from Modern Nintendo I mean the frequency of the pro 94 megahertz I mean

00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:33.000
I'm not saying that's a bad thing to talk about it's just can you imagine Nintendo talking about the performance

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:35.820
of the switch today I mean it would be a pretty verbose apology letter that's

00:01:34.740 --> 00:01:39.360
kind of the only thing that I could imagine them saying about it complete

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:46.400
controller for every move with the unique analog control stick

00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:50.220
that's right one analog control stick by

00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:53.579
1999 when this one came out boy did they

00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:56.420
ever have a library of games of course

00:01:53.579 --> 00:02:02.520
the Nintendo 64 originally launched in 1996 and it was only a few years later

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:07.020
that they released these fun colors ice

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:09.300
fire smoke jungle watermelon and grape

00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:13.500
and I gotta tell you it's not the kind of thing that as a 90s kid myself people

00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:16.140
were running out and buying a new Nintendo 64 in order to get the new

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:22.260
colors but if you had the new colors it was

00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:24.599
pretty cool even just the controllers

00:02:22.260 --> 00:02:28.500
I mean I didn't own one so I never got to play with the cool you know clear

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:32.480
controllers or even the first party controllers but I got to Envy the kids

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.840
who had them not everything about 90s video game

00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:41.580
marketing should make a return but I gotta say that's

00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:44.040
fantastic Series yeah

00:02:41.580 --> 00:02:48.300
yeah look at that anymore that's awesome it's just fun

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:54.959
wow this really is complete in box whether

00:02:52.500 --> 00:03:01.440
it's on account of the packaging fading or something else those colors are very

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:04.920
different I I was looking at the packaging thinking wow dbrand really

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:09.780
didn't get the colors very right but compared to the console itself

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.800
yeah that is

00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:17.640
pretty darn close obviously there's different colors of things inside which

00:03:15.659 --> 00:03:21.180
make it a little bit tricky but especially if you look at it next to the

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:27.060
controller damn whoa Nintendo Power Magazine I

00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:32.300
couldn't afford Nintendo Power Magazine I was a poor kid what happens if I

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:38.220
actually ship this now probably nothing a Year's subscription for 20 bucks how

00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:44.640
the devil did they do an entire magazine and shipping for a dollar fifty an issue

00:03:42.299 --> 00:03:49.620
oh oh there was other stuff to order in here oh store 64.

00:03:47.940 --> 00:03:54.799
now that you've got the world's best video game system get the most out of it

00:03:53.099 --> 00:04:00.120
I don't know if the world agreed PlayStation PlayStation one there's a

00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:03.959
number of reasons for that if I had to boil it down to two things I'd say

00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:09.180
Sony's triumph over Nintendo this generation came down to support for

00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:13.260
third-party game developers and the choice of a disc based storage system

00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:17.340
rather than a cartridge I mean as a Super Nintendo kid I never had one of

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.459
these or a PlayStation you know I would go to friends houses with PlayStations

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.460
and I'd go this is ridiculous the loading times when do you even play the

00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:29.699
game but it enabled developers to build

00:04:25.460 --> 00:04:31.620
much much larger experiences I mean

00:04:29.699 --> 00:04:36.540
Final Fantasy 7 how many cartridges would you have needed it would have been

00:04:34.020 --> 00:04:41.880
a 15 cartridge game and would have cost like 400 how much do you guys want these

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:46.440
Collectibles right now they actually kind of suck like the quality compared

00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:53.100
to what you can make inexpensively these days is sort of trash but like

00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:56.460
they're so I don't know genuine backpack

00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:57.900
case 26 bucks I mean that makes our

00:04:56.460 --> 00:05:00.900
backpack look like a rip-off lttstore.com

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:11.639
that is just about the stiffest feeling

00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:15.300
N64 joystick I have ever touched

00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:16.560
even back in 1996 I don't think I felt

00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:19.100
one this good oh I

00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.400
I said owned one power supply is only sort of

00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:30.419
external my theory seeing something like this would be that it would allow them

00:05:28.020 --> 00:05:34.199
to manufacture the consoles all the same and then just swap out the power

00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:38.699
supplies depending on the region they were going to be shipping to but

00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:43.740
because they region locked the consoles I don't really know what the point of

00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:47.220
this is just a built-in power supply with extra steps I mean maybe they found

00:05:45.539 --> 00:05:51.720
that the failure rates were quite high in testing and they wanted to be able to

00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:57.240
easily fly I don't know ah right the expansion Port this was

00:05:54.479 --> 00:06:02.280
used for the Nintendo disk drive which I think only got a handful of games all of

00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:05.940
which were Japan exclusive that that's right right didn't it get like eight

00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:10.320
games or something like that I don't remember how many but not very many

00:06:08.039 --> 00:06:14.400
basically wasn't a thing the business end was here and I think we've actually

00:06:12.780 --> 00:06:19.139
got a couple cartridges for today right the most common ones dbrand spent all

00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:24.120
their money on the consoles and couldn't afford to send us any cool cartridges uh

00:06:21.780 --> 00:06:29.160
let's go with Mario Kart 64. on the top there's a memory expansion Port that was

00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:34.020
needed for just a handful of games uh among them uh Donkey Kong 64 Perfect

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:39.960
Dark it supported four controllers which was Flippin cool at the time though not

00:06:37.979 --> 00:06:44.880
that anyone that I knew had four controllers just because controllers

00:06:41.940 --> 00:06:48.960
like now were really really expensive but theoretically you could play games

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:53.400
for a player um the only time I think I ever played a

00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:57.840
four control Fuller game was on a PlayStation with a multi-tap with one of

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:01.259
my friends but we didn't have any other friends so I think it was just me him

00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:05.520
and his brother so we only made it to three anyway the point is the game

00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:09.000
supported four controllers oh there's one more expansion port to show you guys

00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:13.319
though the bottom of the controller was used for memory expansion so you could

00:07:10.919 --> 00:07:19.139
save your game like that kind of memory and then also for rumble packs oh of

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:24.599
course they sent more colors okay um those ones weren't complete in box

00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:26.500
but yeah can I may I place has

00:07:24.599 --> 00:07:27.660
we have smoke

00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:34.080
per Smash Bros in it and we also got an

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:39.780
orange one then everything's getting very chaotic over here right now I

00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:44.039
think of all of this was to be able to compare the colors of the dbrand dark

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:51.199
plates with the original controllers and consoles smoke looks pretty darn good

00:07:46.880 --> 00:07:51.199
and what was the orange called again

00:07:52.740 --> 00:07:58.560
wow yeah yeah that does look fire now the

00:07:56.940 --> 00:08:02.460
question is I know I'm not in too much trouble because none of these were

00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:06.840
sealed in box but they're all in great condition so how much trouble would I

00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:10.740
get into if I were to disassemble one of them with this screwdriver

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:14.520
let's put this away for now I'm not opening up any of these consoles now

00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:20.099
there's one color that we don't have a comparison for Atomic purple consoles

00:08:17.580 --> 00:08:26.400
were exceedingly rare only a handful of prototypes existed but there were

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.319
controllers so dbrand felt like ah screw

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:32.039
it we'll do an atomic purple console if you want to make your PlayStation 5 look

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:36.479
all Atomic purple retro I think it looks flipping awesome I think it's

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:39.959
probably the second best color I didn't think I would like ice as much

00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:44.700
but in person I think you're right David I'm with you

00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:46.740
ice looks amazing I guess we're set up

00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:51.540
to play on the smoke console though so why don't we do that and then I will

00:08:48.300 --> 00:08:53.940
just use the ice controller now you

00:08:51.540 --> 00:08:58.200
actually had an N64 hey yeah I remember getting mine and crying when my mom

00:08:55.980 --> 00:09:01.860
opened the trunk and the N64 box was there but it was just a plain black it

00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:08.420
was one of these cool see-through ones did you really just try to start the

00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:08.420
