Reed Rothchild | 9,580 Editorials Team · Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Winback has 31 stages? I spent a lot of tonight limping through 6 and 7.

We're relying on you to finish this game if we end up at 302 because you couldn't make it Jeevan is flying to your house and stealing all your games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had issues but someone mentioned it was probably just the rom causing the issue. I was able to boot the game but it had some lag and the sound wouldn't play. Setup: PAL Sony Trinitron that can also output in NTSC 60Hz, Japanese N64, Everdrive x7. Never had any issue with any of the US NTSC games on the Everdrive though and the Japanese games I own physical copies. ya, idk. I have my og ntsc n64 and am playing on an updated TV. could be me idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for PAL games you really need to use a PAL machine, otherwise there could be any number of glitches and alterations to the game experience, ranging from barely noticeable to completely game breaking. It's why I have both PAL and NTSC N64's hooked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has a wacky story and fun characters, but the gameplay is just boring with a ton of backtracking and mandatory collectables. Oof, I really like Tonic Trouble! I like the more linear level design in the game, it's a refreshing change of pace compared to the more common open-world style of platformer on N64. I also like the variety of moves, the cool visuals and sounds, and just overall gameplay. Shame you didn't enjoy it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind the linear level design, but when the levels are linear don't make me go through them several times because I missed a mandatory collectable. The flying you unlock could have been fun if the controls weren't so hard to get used to. Definitely agree with the cool visuals though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugfish | 653 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I repaired the thumbsticks on some of my controllers while I was at the office today. It really was not too difficult; I also dabbed synthetic grease anywhere that would have friction. I have not had a tight thumbstick on an N64 controller since I was probably 7. I could immediately tell the difference. It is uncanny how nasty it was inside a couple of the controllers. I spent far more time cleaning than replacing the parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Ann's 3rd level, the game only let's the ball jump the hole about half the time, but the computer jumps it everytime with no problem. It didn't really bother me until I had to beat her the 3rd time and the computer retaliated for blood on any reverse powerups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wrote a strategy guide for GameFAQs, where I warned never to use powerups as weapons, because the CPU takes it personally lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
