CORRECTION: The N64 release actually DOES have multiplayer. You access it by pressing "START" on player 2's controller during the character select. I initially couldn't find it, so I thought it wasn't included. Sorry for the misinformation!

As a game developer: THANK YOU for being aware of the fact that teams change a LOT in this industry. I'd hate to make a successful game and then everybody gives credit to former colleagues who already left the company ages ago. It's really just a detail but I was glad to hear you talk about it

those PS1 cutscenes looks as though they were done in the late 00's to 2010's. damn

[Nachy]

The Steam version is actually an emulated PS1 version funnily enough. Even the settings and recommended stuff are typical emulator stuff.

[SirAsdf]

Those PS1 cutscenes have better 3D animation than some movies that get released TODAY.

"Sweet dreams are cancelled !"
I think he's talking about the N64 version.
Hey thanks for the heart

Nitro Rad reviewing old obscure games, lo-fi music in the background and a good drink.
Ah, one of the best ways to spend an afternoon...

Was not expecting an early patron reward, color me pleasantly surprised

[miltondelacruz]

Stumbled onto this. Instantly subscribed. Levelheaded commentary and no sensory overload. Awesome.

6:28 OMG! That cut scene at the beginning of the game is really impressive, recreates fatefully the pretender video of the PS version.

I swear, his Lucario plush gets bigger with every episode XD

[sonikku]

Man, the cutscenes are gorgeous for the N64, these look like early Dreamcast quality! Hell, compare the animation to Sonic Adventure's initial release.

As a kid this was the only game I had on the playstation. Loved it as a kid, can't wait for the nostalgia blast.
Edit: just finished the video, really good review! I'm supprised you didn't really talk about the music here, it's very underrated in my opinion, especially the haunted house level, that gets stuck in my head a lot. However it may just be because I never got passed that level as a kid. Still overall, I loved your review and am so glad you got to this underrated gem of a game in my opinion.

It's nice to see that this was finally released on the N64.

[thatroommategirl]

Whoa what a throw back! My dad was writing the manual for the N64 release and used my brother and I as guinea pigs on this! This is really the first game I remember playing. Wild!

[Cybershroom]

What a delight, never expected you to review 40 Winks, well done!

Nitro Rad, can i request a review for a game called Gregory's Horror Show on PS2?
I think you would enjoy the weirdness.

[stevenatorbensonica]

Scalpers love to resell that lucario plush for $100 or more, its a hard truth

[evanrechsteiner]

That's what I like about Sparx in Spyro, he'll make sure you never miss a collectible gem.

[KitsuneYojimbo]

"Sweet dreams have been cancelled!" Ah, the charm of villains from the olden days of gaming when villains felt like Saturday morning cartoon villains.


Also, fun fact. Lani Minella also voiced the Night Mother in Skyrim.
