i think snesDrunk favorite genre is making thing's go boom

I just finished replaying this game like two weeks ago. What a timing! And yeah, it really is a great game, but it's also ridiculously hard later on and sometimes frustrating, too. Especially acquiring all the platinum trophies, which is one of the hardest challenges in all of gaming, imho.

“If you knock down buildings, it will be fun.” -Chris Stamper during Blast Corps’ development Notice how he said “it will be fun” not it “it will sell”. I wish we had more developers with this mindset today. Anyway, Blast Corps is great and one of my favorites on the N64.

When you advance in the game you get some awesome weird titles. When you platinum every single stage incluiding the moon and all the planets you get a title that says " you can stop now". When i did it as a kid without internet access it felt incredible.

I just discovered your channel and I am soooo grateful that I did. You put out quality retro Nintendo content and I'm surprised you don't have more subs, like closer to 100k was what I was personally expecting. I am going to keep watching your videos and I'll try to share them among other retro Nintendo enthusiasts. Keep it up!

I'm having a great time watching these N64 reviews, thank you for the great video!

Sometimes when I see videos from other channels in my subs that are about games I've never played, I skip over them. But when you do the same, it draws me in, because I know I'm going to be given the most efficient rundown possible. Keep it up.

Thanks for the Thanksgiving post, SNESdrunk! Just what I needed today. Blast Corps was def one of my favorite N64 games. Spent a lot of time with that one when it was released. Gotta go revisit it! Happy Turkey Day, bud!

I rented this thing one weekend as a kid. I still remember the freakin' soundtrack to it to this day. It has a way of burning into your brain.

This game has one of the best difficulty curves ever. The first time you jump in the Backlash, it seems impossible, but by the end of the game you feel like a god whipping that thing around in low-g on the Moon. It's got a simple start and a skill ceiling that most modern games would kill for.

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for maintaining such a positive tone in a time when it's so easy to be cynical. Your channel is like a warm blanket.

I came from your Hook video and now Im subscribing, what a great content and variety. Good stuff man.

The one factor that makes Blast Corps age so well is that, as far as I'm aware, it's still unique to this day. I'm pretty sure no other game has ever used the concept of timed path clearing by demolition as the basis for an action puzzle game, or at least no major release that I've heard of (I'm sure there have been a couple of small indie titles that have done something like this. Even when it came out its uniqueness was its main selling point, and unless I'm very much mistake than is one aspect that has never changed.

This was freaking cool, you just got a new subscriber, you're leveling up homie 😉

Glad you chose to cover blast corps. It's easily one of my top 5 n64 games and one that's worth revisiting

When I got Blast Corps my friends were really divided by the game. Some loved it because of the carnage they could cause, some liked the strategic element of it, but weren't too fond of constantly crashing vehicles into buildings, and some just hated the game because there was no 2p mode and some levels railroaded you into doing exactly what the game wanted you to do or lose. So maybe decide foryourself which group you'd likely be in. I personally was one of the first group BTW.

And the music! Such damn fun in a soundtrack!

There is a definite lack of the A-Team van represented in the video! Loved this game when it came out, I'll have to go back and give it another go. Thanks for all of your hard work to create such a robust channel.

"Through fire, justice is served" I remember that quote oddly enough from this game.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DRUNK!

Awesome video! I could go on a long rant defending the N64 controller but nobody wants that. Ever play Body Harvest? Another hidden gem on the system. Would be interesting to see how well/unwell it aged.

There are enough videos of people trying to be amusing by being overly critical of old games. Your reviews are honest but usually positive. You judge the games fairly. Another great video.

I literally checked your channel yesterday to see if you had made one of these for Blast Corps, what a coincidence!

Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you are spending the holiday with family and friends :)

My brother loves this game and 100% it when it came out. Me? I love it right up till when you have to use the dump truck. I can NEVER get that thing to swing backwards to hit things when I need it to, even to this day. And blasphemy on your view of Goldeneye ;) Thanks for bringing me something on Thanksgiving, keep it up like always!

Thank you so much for this awesome video.

That drifting loader was so great. Would make an awesome racing game, with destructible environment and driving construction vehicles.

Great vid. Love this game. It was fun and unique which I think is often "rare" for a game to have both qualities. 😉

Blast Corps was literally the first game I owned for the N64. It's a great game. I need to acquire another copy of it.

loved this game as a kid, glad to see it get some hype finally!

If you love this game or are just curious about it I highly suggest checking out the AGDQ 2016 run. The games designer, Martin Wakeley, called in and did commentary and answered questions about how the game was made. It's really amazing stuff to hear, like how it was developed on the SGI machines and they had no idea what the final specs of the N64 were going to be, so it turned out they had to dial back the graphics a little bit in the end.

Is that even a fucking question? This game is a masterpiece. The audio, the visuals, the gameplay and the characters. The dialog made me cry. I've played this game twice already and both times I had a completely different experience. It's beautiful, and I will continue playing this game until the end of me. I don't just recommend this game, I'm telling you to play it. If you don't, you are missing out on the reason humans exist. Every single person should play this game. I will fight wars to make sure people can continue playing this game. I think this is the next step in human evolution. We will eventually all be plugged into a machine, like in the movie, "The Matrix", where this beautiful masterpiece will be our life. Every day, we will wake up in heaven. That soon will be the glorious reality, the reality we are meant to be in. Play ghis game right now. Enjoy it. Live it.

This is like my 2nd or 3rd favorite game on the N64. It's so fantastic!

Thank you for uploading all these "Is X still worth playing today?" you've become my encyclopedia galactica for knowing whether or not to buy random games that catch my eye on store shelves.

What a game. I always remembered this one after I rented it. It got difficult towards the end.

This game was so damn fun back in the day.

Happy thanksgiving snes drunk

I remember reading that the big problem with early releases (or review copies) of Blast Corps was that they forgot to program an option to delete your saved game. So if you wanted to start a new game you had to open the cartridge and remove the save battery. I guess the patched it later.

I rented this game a bunch when I was a kid. I never got tired of it.

I got an N64 for Christmas in 1997 and this was the only game I got with it, at the time I didn’t have a clue what I was meant to be doing so didn’t really like it. Playing it now though with an understanding of what you have to do I gotta say I quite enjoy it

I enjoyed playing this game years ago. My main issue was that some vehicles had difficult controls or their way of destroying buildings felt awkward, like the dump truck where you could only damage buildings by swerving and hitting the back of the truck on them.

Finally could revisit this game through switch online after 20+ years. Can’t believe how damn fun this game still is and how awesome the soundtrack is. Only downside of the camera being a bit finicky. I would definitely buy a remake or remaster!

I still own this game, and i love it! Even Oyster Harbor and Diamond Sand, are freaking nightmare Dx As many flaws the N64 may have... it will always have a speical place in my Heart mine is almost 14 years old, it still goes like the first day :D

Still one of my all time Favorite N64 games.

My 10 yr old son loves this game, thanks for another great video!

SNESdrunk can you review the N64 Goemon games please. There really good, not as good as the Super Famicom Goemon games but still really good. Their some of the best games on the N64 I would like to hear you thoughts on the N64 Goemon games.

First road rash, now this?! are you playing all my favorite games from my childhood?!?!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Funy game, but the contrast between my expectations when I first heard of an "out-of-control-nuke-truck" and then actually seeing the thing crawling on a straight line with 3 mph is even funnier

unfortunately i don't have the cartridge but i do have replay for xbox one so i've been playing it that way. also, i think it's underrated. definitely a good game worth checking out.

Yep had roadrash64 too amazing game..one of the best on the system honestly now that i think about it

Just added to NSO. Can’t wait to play!

such a great n64 game, wish others on the platform looked so good

I remember the first time i played this game. I was so confused. I had no idea what the hell was going on. But the more I played it, the more i loved it. Great game!

Absolutely loved this game never finished it though wish it got rehashed on switch

When do you get out of your vehicle in Cybernator? Did you mean Metal Warriors (similar games) or did I just not get far enough in Cybernator?

Try Gauntlet Legends next time.... ;-)

You probably destroy more buildings than the nuke could ever hope to destroy.

Time to get moving!

I'm not a fan of the N64 at all but Blast Corps is so much fun. Great review as always

It kind of reminds me of TTwisted Metal 2. Probably the best replay value game ever IMO. This is the time of game you would log a ton of hours playing and enjoy every second of it.

Thanks for the video, you made the right choice. Although it looked like ass even when it came out, Aidyn Chronicles is a surprisingly fun RPG for the n64.

My mum had this game as a teen and her and her brother went through the game, getting platinum or at the very least, gold on every mission

"Mind the Truck, Mr. Bean"

I loved this game when I was,a kid...

Til this day, I thank my uncle for having this game. I put that bitch in my n64 and absolutely fell in love with this game. And yes, them puzzles are tricky. I beat it again a few years ago but it wasnt nearly as difficult than it was when I was a kid. Still challenging and its even an harder challenge getting a platinum medal. Game is a masterpiece that need a remaster or sequel

Blast Corps was a great idea mixed with some solid gameplay, but I felt that it relied far too much on forcing you to use the more awkward vehicles for its challenge. The Sideswipe in particular shows up in a ton of the later levels and it's not fun to use.

I remember this game, and I recall it being really hard. I have not played Goldeneye in years, and I've heard it's not as great as it used to be, even back then I thought it was kind of clunky compared to something like Doom.

I both loved and hated the N64 era. I would love a Blast Corps. remake.

The next video is gonna be your 500th!

Cartridge games are potentially more durable, allow for custom hardware additions, and load quicker. As memory got cheaper and larger, I feel that this was ultimately the right way to go with the progress of flash memory and SD card development. The Switch has cartridges, although it seems Nintendo should have designed more storage into the format.

It's still surprises me how many great games came out back in the 90s that don't actually have any sequels. Maybe Rare is afraid of making a new blast corps because despite how incredibly amazing Perfect Dark was in the N64 and how fast and improvement it was over GoldenEye when they released perfect dark zero on the Xbox 360 it didn't go so well.

Time to get movin'!

Early re didnt have cam adjst. It was fixed view

Well, maybe it has a limited catalog. But the N64 has at least 15 timeless classics. 15 Sin and Punishment. 14 Kirby 64: the crystal shards 13 Golden eye/ Perfect(dated but worth checking nonetheless) 12 Castlevania Legacy of Darkness(not for everyone but it has a place in my heart) 11 Pokemon Snap 10 F-Zero X 09 Wave Race 08 Mario Kart 64 07 Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon 06 Star Fox 64 05 Smash 64 04 Banjo Kazooie 03 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 02 Super Mario 64 Honorable mentions:Mario Party and Sports games. 01 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Still the greatest game of all time in my humble opinion. That game is basically a part of myself by this point.

Yes....Yes it is....its always amazing

Have u reviewed Lemmings for the SNES??

Definitely agree, the 32-64bit era wasn't as memorable as the 16bit

This was the game of my childhood

Fuck yes, that game is still worth playing. I remember how challenging it was to get all the gold medals and other stuff.

If you collect old games even tho im not particulary into the n64 but cartridges in general rocks! So much more durable. Its a pain finding games for the playstation and the disks are all scratched to oblivion.

Man, it's so crazy that at the time the N64 blew everything out of the water... and now, after all these years, it just blows. The SNES and even NES have maintained longevity. When I got a Wii U, I saw DK64 on the virtual console and I was so excited, but after about four hours of playing I was like, "What the fuuuuuuuck? How did I ever make this work?"

I had this game and rarely played it, I was more into 007, m64, because it’s all we had and Nintendo was there to have my back

Greetings! 👋👽 Have a Great Thanksgiving everyone. 😄

Fun fact: this game was developed by a very small team consisting of people who had never made a game before, even the composer Graeme Norgrave was employed by Rare right before the game's development started.

Fuck yeah it is. It is still a fantastic game.

Luckily for Goldeneye, mouselook is now available through emulation and it's actually good.

Getting ready for the N64 classic I see

You can't get out of your mech suit in Cybernator. *Flies away*

I think it's okay to whine a bit, every once in a while, as long as you can back up your whining with reasonable arguments. And yes, I do agree with you on Golden Eye. It's one of those games that really don't hold up...

One downside when you get it used, itll more likely have progress, so you gotta look that shit up on how to input a button hold for a new game. Shit like that and even 3ds games

This game was the best. Just committing destruction for the good of humanity made this a blast to play. As a bonus note, the music in this game is just awesome.

Curious? is there an equivalent to this game on the snes?

yes

It's on the hidden gems list because, even if it sold well, in its time no one talked about it, ever.

I was kinda expecting a SSSSSSSSIIIIIIIXTYFOUR DRUNK

Also forgot to mention that you can play ON THE MOON.

This is easily one of the best games on the N64.

Man, check out Brigador on Steam. That game is made for you.

Owned this one was a good time..too bad i have no idea what happened to it
