Until I get my N64 controller I won't be playing any N64 games. So right now I'm playing MUSHA.
Despite all the shit I said, that I firmly stand by, I could've gone for a 3 month sub that would scratch the N64 itch and allow me to move on without spending or committing too much, but they are firmly "you're either in for a year or out, join or fuck off".
This "discount" shit they're doing is ridiculous since you can't upgrade your sub for the rest of the term that you currently have. $40.24 is the discount I was offered since my sub ends 5/7, so I'm still paying the $50 to extend the sub to 10/25 with just under $10 of the current sub adding to that.
I'd have upgraded if it just went to 5/7 to try it out, but I'm not putting down $40 for this Expansion Pack when I don't really care about most of the N64 and Genesis games that are being offered.

These controls just aint doing it for me in any game that I've tried. I need my N64 controller to get here soon. Guess I'll play Genesis until then.
If they insist on keeping "A" in that position, they really should have mapped a second "B" above "A" (the "X" button) to keep the alignment.
That's what gets me. I literally just want to play Mario Kart 64. Been staring at $48 at my screen for an hour.
Very impressed with the quality of the N64 controller. Nice that both NA and EU roms are included.
I don't think the emulator is quite up to scratch though. Played Mario 64 and Kart and noticed some performance/frametime issues. I fired up my actual N64 with Kart and it was smoother on original hardware. Have also noticed some textures in Kart are not bilinear filtered whereas they are on original hardware.

Downloaded the Mega Drive & JPN N64 for the hell of it just to see if they get anything unique in the future. Weirdly, the only difference is that Dr. Mario 64 is not part of the Japanese lineup.
Anyways, can't wait to replay S&P but portable now after all these years (though trying the tutorial, I may have to use my pro controller to make it feel a bit better). I remember that being the game that convinced me to get a classic controller on the Wii & this mysterious "never localized" Treasure game to me back as a teen. Man, I should replay the Wii version someday as well.

Okay, initial datamining time. There are at least 38 N64 games planned for the service.
They're listed alphabetically, so you could try to guess which games fall into the gaps. I'm certain #37 is Majora's Mask and 14-16 are Mario Party 1-3, for example.

Ah man, thanks everyone who has posted impressions, some very disappointing drawbacks to this 😟
Ah damn, that does add up if it's using the same emulator as in 3D All Stars, that had frame pacing issues also which immediately jumped out to me when trying it

I split a family membership 8 ways with my friends so I am feeling alright about this service. Played about an hour of Mario Tennis doubles with my girlfriend and had a great time.
We would all be buying the Animal Crossing expansion anyway, so this was a great deal for us.

That game didn't came out in Japan for the N64 and as such doesn't have a japanese localization for that console. It came out on the Gamecube though, is kind of like reverse Animal Corssing.
Because 80(full year of expansion)-35(full year of regular)-30(prorated year of what you had left of regular) = 15
I wondered by the wording on the eShop site. I'm glad I came in to look into this.

Gotta think 32 and 33 are Super Smash Bros and Wave Race.
One of those better be Wave Race, at least. Or else.
Turned on CRT filter on Genesis expecting Scanlines.... did not get scanlines :(

So they just blurred the image? OK, between this and the odd controller layout, I'm going to sit this one out for now. Hopefully these are fixed
Hmm, 35 would have to be a WWF or Wipeout 64?Okay, initial datamining time. There are at least 38 N64 games planned for the service.

it said it would just convert everything at .09 a day that was left, and if your sub was beyond that you wouldn't be refunded. So just be glad your plan wasn't beyond the point where your upgrade would've been free and you lost value.
as for why your extra year is gone and why you paid more, you had enough days left at that rate to drop the price of a year from $80 to $15. Your plan is now just for that year because that's what you paid for.
32 and 33 would have to be Super Smash Bros and Wave Race 64, if you we were to go by this schemeOkay, initial datamining time. There are at least 38 N64 games planned for the service.

Similar situation. I think they applied the discount to the whole first year….maybe? $15 seems too low to upgrade from a $35->$80 plan. Not sure how they got to $15 though. It was very unclear. Not thrilled how it played out.
They better fucking give us Wave Race, an all time under rated game
From the previously announced games...Okay, initial datamining time. There are at least 38 N64 games planned for the service.
They're listed alphabetically, so you could try to guess which games fall into the gaps. I'm certain #37 is Majora's Mask and 14-16 are Mario Party 1-3, for example.
1-6 include Banjo Kazooie
8-12 include F-Zero X, Kirby 64, Mario Golf
18-29 include Paper Mario, Pokemon Snap
That leaves 22 games unconfirmed.
1-6 probably includes Banjo Tooie, Diddy Kong Racing, and DK 64. Blast Corps is a possibility I suppose, but I'd bet no. 1080 is probably more likely than not in this group but hard to know. Maybe one of the Cruis'n games?
8-12... maybe Glover? Excitebike 64 is likely. Goldeneye, Jet Force Gemini, and Killer Instinct would fit here but my hunch is only the Rare games closely associated with Nintendo will make it over.
18-29 will probably include Pokemon Stadium or Pokemon Stadium 2 (I'd guess only one of the games, not both). Maybe Pokemon Puzzle League since there aren't any other likely puzzle games for the N64. Also Pilotwings 64
32 & 33 has 3 candidates. Super Smash Bros, Wave Race 64, or 1080 Snowboarding. Depending on how they alphabetized it, 1080 could be #1 or #32-33.
35 is without a doubt Wonder Project J2 for Japan only
It deconfirms a couple titles too. No Snowboard Kids

yeah this is really awesome, really enjoying it so far. was nervous reading through the thread but the colors look good to me and i don't notice any input lag either but i'm sure that varies person to person or whatever. sound is fine too. reading through the replies i was expecting a trash fire or something
I guess Worms or World Driver Championship are also vague possibilities? Or Wonder Project J2, somehow.
Also worth remembering that they might alphabetize things oddly, like how the Zelda games are at the bottom here, ignoring the "Legend" part. Not sure if that would allow anything else to fit in.
12 is totally Mario Golf; but I think 8-12 will be Excitebike, F-Zero, Harvest Moon and Kirby 64.
Keep in mind though, they can add games outside of alphabetical order in IDs following OoT; SNES games were initially added in alphabetical order and then randomly afterwards.
Colors are perfect. Framerate and input latency seems smooth too. And of course it's all higher rez.
This is awesome so far.
