Secrets of the N64 Transfer Pak | Punching Weight | SSFF

Hi everyone! FYI we made a mistake of wording with the video, you couldn’t use the game boy printer to print out your Pokémon in the way we mentioned in the video. (You could transfer the Pokémon you unlocked to your gbc cart and go nuts with the printer from there!) Otherwise you DID have to schlep your N64 picture data all the way to Blockbuster to print out your Pokémon pics. Also, the Wide Boy 64 didn’t make it into this video since it was never commercially offered and is not an “official” Nintendo product (and its crazy expensive!), but we want to cover it someday if anyone’s offering! ;) And for those that are commenting on it, the Power Glove was not manufactured by Nintendo however it was officially licensed and was a part of their product portfolio. In our mind it’s an inseparable part of Nintendo’s evolution from toymaker that makes video games to video game maker that makes toys. Thanks for watching everyone! See you in 2019! 💪🏻

Oh how I wish Nintendo had given us Perfect Head. Wait, let me rephrase that....

Whoooa.. I'm a huge fan of the original Mario Tennis and still play it every so often now, and never heard of these four characters! I know what I'm buying at Magfest! Thanks!

Fun fact: Miis, were originally designed for a 64DD title that ended up getting cancelled. Many of the specific facial features and hair styles that were used in the Wii and 3DS Mii Makers were originally included in the N64 game, which basically just let you MAKE Miis but then they just sort of wandered and did weird stuff. It never saw an official release due to the early cancellation of the 64DD and the main console lacking the power to run the game. Aonuma's initial concept of the title was greatly expanded upon and eventually released on the 3DS as Tomodachi Life.

I liked how, with the Transfer Pak installed, you could turn your controller upside-down and it'd look like a ship out of Star Trek. Try it, you can't unsee it!

Man, I remember having the genius idea of hooking up my gameboy color Mario Golf to the N64 Mario Golf on the only basis that the games had the same cover art and having it ACTUALLY work absolutely blowing my 10 year old mind. I couldn't comprehend how it was possible since Pokemon Stadium was released a year later than the Mario Golf games, I was convinced the transfer pak was literally programming data on the fly into both the gameboy and n64 counterparts. Ah, the innocent times before internet access :)

Have we stopped the skeletons from fighting yet tho?

Yesss! You used my Peter Griffin from No Mercy :)

Perfect Dark for GBC is worth its own episode of Punching Weight. I loved that version of it as a kid

I used the transfer pack extensively with stadium as a kid and wasn't carefully with it AT ALL. I was totally unaware you could loose your save if you bumped it. I guess I was just crazy lucky lol. Also for me as a kid using rental pokemon just seemed wrong. I was a tamogotchi kid and my pokemon were like virtual pets. I refused to use rental pokemon cause to my child logic they weren't my pokemon ergo they weren't special lol

One additional note to point out - The Surfing Pikachu ordeal wasn't exclusive to merely Pikachu in Yellow: it was available to any Pikachu as long as they were not registered within the registered sets in Stadium 1 and Pikachu was in every battle in Master Cup. I know this because I did this whole ordeal twice: Once with Yellow, and once with Blue.

In a mode called “perfect head” Wow lmao

1:50 Oh these are pretty cool bananas

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is amazing.

Thanks for using my footage and giving the credits. 😎

That Goemon music. I swear to god I could listen to that soundtrack for the rest of my life.

I had more than one N64 controller. I put the Transfer Pak in my second controller and set it down, and used the first controller to play. The Stadium games did not require that the Transfer Pak be in the first controller.

Dude wtf why are all these skeletons still fighting

Why does ultraman always have good games?

The Transfer Pak is like a proto-amiibo now that I think about it. Not as much as e-Cards, but it's definitely an early example of cross-game data transfer.
