Why has Nintendo always been so Jewish?

>$30 (or $70 to get Donkey Kong + Expansion) for an expansion
or
>$200 for an upgraded system

>only required for three games (all of which are great)
>optionally can increase the render resolution of certain games (at the cost of frame rate most of the time)

>>380690976
better than paying for online

>>380691253
This.

>Conker didn't need this
How?

>>380691253
They sold it on its own before they needed to include it with DK because the game was broken without it

>>380690976
It was designed to take advantage of an impending drop in RAM prices. This let them sell the system for less and only charge the players that actually wanted to take advantage of it.

>>380691564
Rare was gud at coding. DK64 only needed it because of a bug that fucked up the non-expansion pak version. Since they couldn't find the bug they just made the expansion pak mandatory.

I got mine with DK64 a long time ago and it was worth it.

>>380691613
I am aware of this, the point I was making is that it was something anyone with an existing N64 could get to upgrade it if they wanted, rather than having to pay $200+ for a whole other system.

It should've used it to boost the res. Game looks like ass on modern tvs.

I was like 10 and asked for it for Christmas because a clerk at the local gaming place told me it made turok 2, more "gory"

One thing it was also supposed to do is allow for bigger cartridges. Mario 64 needed to save space by speeding up Bowser's laugh for the Boos. Then comes Conker with fucking full voice acting and some of the music was tripled or quadrupled because it would change as you went on. You'd think if anything needed the biggest possible cart, it would be Conker.

why did majoras mask need it?

because their cuckoids only buy 20% of the games they offer them on their console. So they gotta make more money somewhere.

The N64 handles it surprisingly well. In fact I'd say Quake 64 is the best controlling fps on the console. It sucks Q2 doesn't have the same scheme.

>>380692430
If only the N64 version had the kick ass music. Then it would be no contest. I can't stand the shriveled up look the levels have on the PS1 version.

Should have read the box and realized the game needed more RAM to run.

me too, but kys tripfag

It would be nice if modern multiplayer multiplayer games limited people on toasters to 2v2 matches.

Fun fact: the only reason dk64 came with a expansion pak is that rare couldn't fix a game breaking bug but noticed that when playing with the expansion pak the bug wouldn't occur. Instead of just delaying the game and trying to work it out they said fuck it and just paid the cost to have every copy come with the expansion pak.

>>380692107
yeah that's what five more years of experience with the systems structure will do for you.
This was also in the time frame that cartridges for games could be specifically made by the devs to allow for some cool shenanigans if the devs knew how hardware worked.
