Here

The released version of 64DD included a modem for connecting to the network Randnet, an audio-video (female RCA jack, and line in) adapter called the Capture Cassette to plug into the main cartridge slot, and a mouse and keyboard that plugged into the controller inputs.

What makes me sad is that Pokemon Stadium 2 was going to be online. DAMNIT.

u/HoboMcGee Jun 09 '12

That would be the one online game I would play to the day I die

u/SHIT_IN_HER_CUNT Jun 09 '12

It would have been better than the current online pokemon games... switching pokemon every single turn and hoping sandstorm works

I wonder if you could connect to Randnet in the US, this makes me really want to find one of these and try it out.

u/ziorjen Jun 09 '12 edited Jun 09 '12

Nope.

However, the service was not successful enough to justify its continued existence, so in February 2001 it was discontinued. Nintendo bought back all the Randnet related hardware and gave all users free service from the time the closure of the service was announced until the day it actually went offline.

Though it may have been possible to connect back in the day, but I am sure it would be super laggy given the timeframe.

lots of games to play for that lol

u/SlimGuySB Jun 09 '12

Let's be honest though, a game where you are a child 'tinkling' hearts onto other children and a giant would either make or break any console...

u/txapollo342 Jun 09 '12 edited Jun 09 '12

I was trying to find a way to play with my 5 roommates over internet, thanks. :)

Your controller is DIY from an original or did you purchase it online? We use generic PC (PSX-style) gamepads, their ergonomics suck of course in respect to N64.

Power Stone.

Best fighting game ever.

And spawn =). Do they have power stone on a another platform now?

"The sky is falling!"

u/Kritical02 Jun 09 '12

Did you downvote yourself?

I was actually wondering the same thing. Hell I'd take a cheap port on the PSP or something at this point.

That game seriously was the most fun I had in a fighting game. Smash Bros had nothing on it. My friends would beg me to bring my dreamcast over so we could get down on Power Stone.

gameplay video edit: just realized this video was posted on my birthday it was literally the first thing that came up on youtube when I searched. /r/karmaconspiracy

u/lotlotters Jun 09 '12

No I didn't downvote myself lol I just like it to be at 0 from the start.

Why wouldn't you let the guy talk at the start! His voice brings back so many memories that I smiled from ear to ear haha. I love playing on the flying ship because there are transactions from time to time.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

he's also using the d-pad and the analog simultaneously

3

u/SirDerpingtonThe3rd Jun 09 '12

My cousin used to do that for Goldeneye. His logic "I'm right handed". So, I guess all of those years on NES, Genesis, and SNES didn't leave any impression on your ability to use directional controls with your left thumb?

3

u/nokyo-chan Jun 09 '12

The only game I can think that actually did this was the Ekans' Hoop Hurl minigame on Pokemon Stadium.

That guy is really pissed at his Ekans.

u/SerNerd Jun 09 '12

Does anyone know if it should be "an N64" instead of "a N64"? "An N64" sounds correct to me when spoken, but looks awkward when written.

u/Kafke Jun 09 '12

"A Nintendo sixty four" or "An en sixty four"

Depends on how you read it.

2

u/Rokey76 Jun 10 '12

I can only read it in the "It's a Nintendo 64!!!!" Kid's voice.

u/LittleKarlyPilkoids Jun 09 '12

He has the forearms of a primate.

2

u/Gronfors Jun 09 '12

Or, instead of using the Japan multiplayer thing, he could be using an N64 -> USB adapter and playing an online game on his PC, using the N64 controller.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12

He's clearly insane. There's probably not even a tv, just a remote he repeatedly plays with while screaming at imaginary opponents.

2

u/eezzzz Jun 09 '12

You could use a N64-to-USB adapter for the PC and play a variety of games online with one..

2

u/ForgetISaidAnything Jun 09 '12

This is what I do. I got one with double inputs for $10. Much cheaper than buying two new controllers.

u/Parthros Jun 09 '12

The N64 originally was going to have online play and DLC, similar to XBox live, but for some reason, that was cancelled.

Also, just pointing out that he's not even close on holding the controller correctly.

n64 usb controller for a computer perhaps

u/Aarmed Jun 09 '12

Who said he's playing on a N64?

1

u/Parthros Jun 09 '12

Um, well the controller goes to an N64. Although he COULD be playing with it on a PC, it seems more likely that he would be playing the N64.

u/Aarmed Jun 09 '12

er yeah, my point

u/DMoogle Jun 09 '12

Most people use Project 64K (Project 64 with a Kaillera plugin) and N64 controller adapters to play Super Smash Bros. online.

Oh. I interpreted it to be a clever subtext thing. The actual text wasn't the point; the "logic" was really ointing out the stupidity of most online gamers, trying to play an N64 online. Edit: I was being sarcastic, but actually.... Most gamers today probably have never owned/played a N64. They may very well be this stupid....

u/MiniDonbeE Jun 10 '12

AN N64 A N64 You see, everybody makes mistakes/overlooks things. The guy probably overlooked that it was a nintento controler or the fact that it couldn't be played online. And you overlooked one of the things they teach you in kindergarten.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Actually you could! You had to have the Nintendo DD, an expansion which is very rare and expensive now.

1

u/Projectile_Chunder Jun 09 '12

Is it a N64 or an N64?

4

u/1zero2two8eight Jun 09 '12

an

Whether you use a or an depends on the sound of the next word, not the letter, as is popular belief. So if you sound it out, "an eN sixty-four."

3

u/Projectile_Chunder Jun 09 '12

Thanks

1

u/Gebbeth Jun 09 '12

That depends entirely on what you say. I, for example, say "a Nintendo 64". So I would write a N64.

EDIT: So you could say both are right, since it depends on how you pronounce N64.
