This is part 1 of my capture of me playing through Super Mario Sunshine for the GameCube. I'm playing the game in progressive scan mode using an actual GameCube (not the Wii). I'm collecting all 120 shine sprites in the game. I picked up Super Mario Sunshine back on its release date in 2002. I had to wait six long years for a successor to Super Mario 64 even though Nintendo had talked about a Super Mario 64 2 and even a Super Mario 128. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new 3D Mario game. However, Super Mario Sunshine ultimately turned out to be a bit disappointing. The basic waterpack idea was alright, but the game generally devolved into a massive collectathon, similar to Donkey Kong 64. The blue coins in particular were difficult to keep track of and not all that fun to collect. At times they could be downright irritating. The levels themselves weren't that impressive either. None of the areas matched the magic or inspiration of worlds like Bob-omb Battlefield or Jolly Roger Bay. The ending with Corona Mountain also felt half-assed, like the development team was rushing to finish the game. I actually found that the best parts of the game were when Shadow Mario took away the waterpack and you had to traverse those crazy 3D obstacle courses. I wish the game had been designed more around that concept and not so much of the collectahon gameplay. It was nice to see Yoshi finally return though. This is possibly my least favorite 3D Mario game, although Super Mario 3D World gets on my nerves at times (mostly because of camera and control issues). Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy the new footage.

This is a capture of the hidden ultra resolution mode in Vigilante 8 on the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Vigilante 8 cartridge. I've already uploaded several multiplayer videos of Vigilante 8 showing off the high resolution mode that can be enabled through use of the Expansion Pak. However, there is also a hidden "ultra" resolution setting that can be activated by entering MAX_RESOLUTION on the password screen. This video shows that hidden setting. One of the neat things about the Nintendo 64 was that it offered a so-called high resolution of 640x480 for several games. This mode typically required use of the separate Expansion Pak which upgraded the system's RAM to 8mb total. However, one game, World Driver Championship, offered a letterbox high resolution mode without the Expansion Pak. Vigilante 8 has one of the best high resolution modes I've seen in a Nintendo 64 game. It runs incredibly smooth for a 640x480i resolution, even in split screen multiplayer. As a result, I always enable the standard "high" mode when playing this game. Also, interestingly enough, the menu screens in this game automatically run at 480i by default (there are no scan lines present), but the game quickly switches to 240p mode during the animation where the screen image flies away from you. The next menu screen then reverts to 480i again. For some reason, the developer included a hidden "ultra" resolution setting that you can activate with a password. Although neither the Nintendo 64 nor a standard CRT TV can exceed a 480 resolution, I suspect that this mode simply increases texture detail while using the same 480i mode. This is probably similar to Shin'en stating that FAST Racing Neo has 4K textures even though the game itself displays at a native 720p resolution. I typically don't use the ultra resolution mode because it drops the frame rate too low without much of a graphical improvement. However, it is a neat feature. Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to standardize the N64's native 240p/480i signal so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal. I'm using a standard Nintendo 64 controller.

This is a capture of me and a friend playing the Cooperative mode in Vigilante 8 for the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64. I'm player one and Drew is player two. Vigilante 8 is another favorite of mine from the Nintendo 64 era. I used to play this game all the time in high school. I'd get some friends over and we'd have a blast (literally). This game has great multiplayer, especially for two people. I miss vehicular combat games. I've liked them ever since I first played Twisted Metal around 1995 or 1996. I like to grab a friend and jump into Cooperative mode in this game, which allows you to fight up to nine cars in a team match. You can't do this with more than two people though because the system simply can't handle AI cars while splitting the screen more than two ways. So if you're playing with three or four people, you'll simply have to battle each other. We entered in two cheat codes before we started. One was FIRE_NO_LIMITS. This allows you fire special weapons as fast as you can press the R button (there's normally a cooldown in between shots, which sucks). The second code was MIX_MATCH_CARS. This allows multiple players to use the same vehicle. Since Drew and I both like to use John Torque, we always enter this code. What's nice about this game is that it supports the Expansion Pak and it allows you to split the screen either horizontally or vertically. Since I have an Expansion Pak, I always enable high resolution mode. There's also a cheat for an ultra resolution mode, but it drops the framerate way too low. In this video Drew and I battled nine school buses on the Super Dreamland 64 map using John Torque (bass quake rocks). This map is exclusive to the Nintendo 64 version and is based on the colorful 3D platformers on the system such as Banjo-Kazooie. If you drive through a rainbow on this stage it will actually repair your car, just like a wrench. Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable.

I like to grab a friend and jump into Cooperative mode in this game, which allows you to fight up to nine cars in a team match. You can't do this with more than two people though because the system simply can't handle AI cars while splitting the screen more than two ways. So if you're playing with three or four people, you'll simply have to battle each other. We entered in two cheat codes before we started. One was FIRE_NO_LIMITS. This allows you fire special weapons as fast as you can press the R button (there's normally a cooldown in between shots, which sucks). The second code was MIX_MATCH_CARS. This allows multiple players to use the same vehicle. Since Drew and I both like to use John Torque, we always enter this code. What's nice about this game is that it supports the Expansion Pak and it allows you to split the screen either horizontally or vertically. Since I have an Expansion Pak, I always enable high resolution mode. There's also a cheat for an ultra resolution mode, but it drops the framerate way too low. In this video Drew and I battled nine school buses on the Ski Resort map and bass quaked them into oblivion using John Torque (because Bass Quake is awesome. Although it hardly does damage, launching school buses off the screen is still hilarious). Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to standardize the N64's 240p/480i output so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal. We're using standard Nintendo 64 controllers.

This is part 13 of my capture of me playing through the Quest mode in Vigilante 8 on the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Vigilante 8 cartridge. I'm playing on Unleaded difficulty. In this final part I completed all of the missions for "Y" The Alien. Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to standardize the N64's native 240p/480i signal so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal. I'm using a standard Nintendo 64 controller.

This is part 12 of my capture of me playing through the Quest mode in Vigilante 8 on the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Vigilante 8 cartridge. I'm playing on Unleaded difficulty. In this twelfth part I completed all of the missions for Sid Burn. Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable.
