  Thanks for all the kind words guys ! Sorry for the wrong pronunciation of some of the names<br>The song of the Ocarina of Time commercial had to be mute because of DMCA unfort.

  Kids today won’t understand, but back in 1996 that leap forward from 2D platform and faux 3D to Mario 64 was like an acid trip for any kid. It was unbelievable

  Mario 64 was SOOO Addictive. That was whe I was 14. I beat the game and discovered most of the secrets. I&apos;m 40 and that game is still just as replayable.

  Going from cartridge on SNES to the cartridge of the N64 felt like walking into a new house and immediately feeling like I was at home

  I trusted my gut and waited for the n64. Never regretted it for a second. The library of games was incredible.

  That old raw footage of Mario 64 is awesome. Hearing the audience ooh and ah at what was, at the time, a massive leap in video gaming tech just feels cozy.

  I’ll never forget the summer (July/August) of 96. I was able to “rent” an imported N64 w/ Mario and was so blown away by it. I convinced my boss (owner of a comic book shop) we could do the same (rent the imported console) to attract customers to the store with an experience many were excited for, but didn’t want to wait until Christmas of 96. It was a successful marketing campaign and I got to play it in the store when the system was not rented out. Such good times…

  Back when it came out, I had always felt that while other companies were taking risks and trying to push the limit of technological advancement to outdo each other and put out something innovative, Nintendo was always going to be a safe investment for the consumer with a guarantee of quality first party games that would stand the test of time on durable well working hardware.

  This is possibly the best N64 documentary out there. &nbsp;While most will give &quot;hand-wavy&quot; answers as to why things happened the way they did, you supply amazing context that really explains the thought process of what was going on during this radically changing time in the industry. &nbsp;Everything just makes more sense, and makes me appreciate how ground breaking the N64 was in so many ways. &nbsp;Can&apos;t wait for the next console documentary. &nbsp;Care to share what it will be?

  Ocarina of Time was just amazing. Personal top 5 for me.

  Ocarina of Time had me in a choke hold for so long. That game has a nostalgic feeling to me. And takes me back to my home.
