Goron_3 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I still cry whenever I watch the 2008 Nintendo conference. Why, Nintendo, why?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) The US version of Mario Kart 64 didn't have music in multiplier if I remember correctly. Or at least it didn't in 4 player. Also the save glitch in Twilight princess in the cannon room: I think it was WWE No Mercy for the N64. The first run of copies had a major glitch that erased your save whenever you turned the game off.You could get the game replaced, but the new ones had blood taken out. I was going to post this one. That damn glitch took everything from me. EVERYTHING. Also, the version with the removed blood was funny as they kept in the 'first blood' match option.

tapedeck Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Guitar Hero 3 on Wii launching and selling a truck load...only for a gamer to realise that the game was actually only ouputting in mono. Gamers then had to request a 'stereo' version of the game by disk swapping it directly with Activision. Still have my 'stereo' copy. Sounds MUCH better!

Beaneth007 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 As much as I loved Diddy Kong racing, the plane collision detection was awful. you'd easily miss an object but the game would say youd hit it and your race would be scuppered. damn annoying glitch!

Retro_Link Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Don't remember that happening/can't remember having problems with that... though it was too difficult to pick the eggs up with the plane in multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Falcon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The US version of Mario Kart 64 didn't have music in multiplier if I remember correctly. Or at least it didn't in 4 player. I don't think any version does in 3 or 4 player. It's not so much a glitch as the N64 being a pain to program for that they couldn't get enough performance out of it at the time. The only music that plays is the invincible theme during gameplay. Either that or they thought it more dramatic. What was a glitch was when the game would occassionally go super fast on certain tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they ran out of sound channels, because they played each sound effect once per screen split, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Falcon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think they ran out of sound channels, because they played each sound effect once per screen split, so to speak. Well the N64 had 100 sound channels so they wouldn't have run out, but it didn't have a seperate co-processor to handle them like the SNES, so it all takes a hit on the main CPU.

daftada Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The speed thing in MK64 wasn't a glitch - there was a 1 in 64 chance of a faster race speed and a 1 in 128 chance of super speedy racing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It seemed more like 50% for Bowser's Castle and Moo Moo Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peeps Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 There's no way it was meant to happen =\ It would only ever occur on Moo Moo Farm or Bowser's Castle... or occasionally on Skyscraper battle-mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) I remember reading in N64 magazine at the time that the speed chance thing was supposed to happen. Well the N64 had 100 sound channels so they wouldn't have run out, but it didn't have a separate co-processor to handle them like the SNES, so it all takes a hit on the main CPU. Interesting, i always assumed this since my other games could handle music in 4 player mode, like Goldeneye, Starfox etc it was a glitch. Now that I think about it though, Diddy Kong racing also had no music in 3 or 4 player mode. Edited January 23, 2013 by Helmsly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
