Back in the day, there was nothing better than popping in your favorite cartridge and spending hours on the Nintendo 64. No matter how long you actually played the console, there were likely some hidden features you had no clue the console could do. Learn about these various tricks and consider dusting off the old thing to try them out for yourself!
If you love the Nintendo 64 controllers or emulating classic games on the computer, then you can actually use the original controller designs. A USB adapter allows two controllers to be plugged into the same USB port and can be used for a variety of games. The Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color had little interaction until a Pokemon game gave players a way to play Game Boy on a full-sized TV. The original NES power glove was a big bust, but that didn’t stop developers from creating a rare glove design for the N64. The clunky accessory wasn’t used for any exclusive game, but did provide some fun. The N64 expansion pak was essential for some games, but it also added a lot enhancements to other titles. Online gaming was not used on the standard N64, but players who got their hands on the N64DD could actually go online with various games. The N64 only plays N64 cartridges, but a third-party accessory allowed players to play both older NES and Super Nintendo games they still have laying around. Special versions of the N64 controller were actually used as television remotes. If you didn’t like the controller, the N64 also released a special mouse and keyboard package for the 64DD. A lot of countries got exclusive N64 games and you could get your hands on them thanks to a special region-free add-on. Online access and email could be obtained through a special N64 add-on known as Sharkwire. Watch to see all of these hidden things your Nintendo 64 could do!

When I was a kid my parents couldn't afford to get me a Nintendo 64 for Christmas, and miraculously my mother won one from Taco Bell. They had a promotion running called "score 64 and win". My mom was really depressed at how me and my brother only asked for the one shared gift, and we couldn't afford it, she had a dream that night in which she saw my dead grandfather on the beach and he told her everything was gonna be okay. The next day she stopped at taco bell drive through for a soda after work (something she'd never done before), and peeled off the label on the cup and found out that we won. On Christmas day after me and my brother opened all our gifts, we tried to not let the disappointment on our faces show because we knew the situation, and while we hadn't gotten what we hoped for, we didn't want it to show. My parents then had us open this one last gift. Me and my bro unwrapped a plastic taco bell cup, (the 64 hadn't arrived in the mail yet) and were confused until they said "read it", we did, and we lost our minds with happiness. You always see those contests, and you think nobody ever wins, but they do. Till this day, I still can't believe it happened, and made it the most memorable Christmas of my life. God is good.

Let me save your time and summarise the video: 10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do: 1. A company made a third party device that lets you connect N64 controllers to your PC. 2. The game Pokémon Stadium comes with a device that lets you play Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow though an N64. 3. A company made a third party controller in a glove style. 4. Nintendo released an Expansion Pak for the N64. It is required for some games, and improves performance on some others. 5. Nintendo released an N64 add on in Japan that would allow it to connect to the internet. 6. A company made a third party device that lets you play NES and SNES games on an N64. 7. Nintendo had a deal to put N64s in some hotels. 8. That add on in number 5 came with a mouse and keyboard. 9. A company made a third party device to let you play foreign region locked games on an N64. 10. A company made a third party device that could download cheat codes from the internet for your N64. So, that's 0/10 that my N64 can do without buying other products...

Since we got blueballed on shit the N64 can actually do, here's one: If you disassemble your N64, there is a grey plastic housing for the bottom of your cartridges. With some snips, cut the corners out of it carefully. Your console can now play Japanese region games flawlessly. They are significantly cheaper than American copies, and a lot of the games you care about are very playable with zero Japanese.

I remember the N64 controllers in hotel rooms back in the day. Costed a comically outrageous amount of money to play games and the TVs were usually designed to prevent me from plugging in my own N64 I would bring on most of those trips...

I feel like a better title would be "Top 10 N64 accessories you didn't know existed"
-
i fail to realize how a n64 in a hotel room is something cool MY n64 could do
-
I got to try one of those special hotel 64s when I was a kid. Nobody I've ever mentioned this to seemingly ever got to do the same though, so I was never sure if I just imagined it. Glad to know I'm not crazy!

The leap from 8bit to 16, to 32 and 64 was so severe and breathtaking. I feel now we've reached a point where it all looks the same, just with better lighting

10 Cool Things You Had No Idea Your Old Nintendo 64 Could Do #1 - Something that doesn't even use the N64

What did I tell you about clickbaiting
-
i bet this guy doesnt even own an n64
-
Actually GameBoy Tower was accessible immediately. You could unlock higher speeds by beating the Stadium modes, but the tower was usable from the start.
-
"Things you didn't know your N64 could do!" Literally half of the points are 3rd party hardware

This video should be titled: 10 N64 Accessories You May Not Have Heard Of
-
channels that tell you to subscribe before the video even starts... skip
-
"Wow, my N64 has it's logo on it! I never knew that!"
-
Is there a way I can have YouTube stop recommending me this guys videos?
-
This is what Adblock was made for... Not supporting channels that has misleading title.
-
I had no idea the N64 was able to play N64 games by using the N64 controller! MIND BLOWN!

I LOVED the N64 remotes in hotel rooms. Lol. I would always beg my dad to let me play, despite me having one at home. It just felt more fun for some reason 😂 But man, was it expensive. One hour of play was like 7 dollars
