1 Hour of Cancelled N64 Games 

64DD was responsible for so many cancelled games that we should start calling it the Nintendo 64 Development Destroyer (N64DD).

Take a shot everytime a game was canceled because of the 64DD

Alternate title: One Hour's Worth of Depression

It's wild to me just how much of the N64's success was hinging on the 64DD; how many of the console's games, both released and cancelled, were originally planned for the add-on, which Nintendo then proceeded to neglect and barely release. What a poorly-handled mess all-around.

I love these videos I can put them on while I'm working

I love how hard Koji Kondo rocked the N64 audio under those hardware restrictions.

Alternative Title: Game Demos that are now Lost Media that will need to be found

I wish you knew how much I appreciate videos like these that I can just listen to while being useless

Imagine what could have been if a) the 64dd would have released much earlier and cheaper so most N64 owners had the dd as well, or b) the 64dd was never in development to begin with so all the effort on it and it's planned games were not wasted because they were never started. All those games could have been made for the N64 to begin with and actually finished!

A company named "super happy fun fun" and we're all just gonna pretend that's normal?

It's a shame there were so few RPGs on the system. They could have worked if they just left out the FMVs that were so popular back then.

I just love the Nintendo 64, such a treasure in the gaming industry!

This is an extremely specific topic for an hour-long compilation

Super Mario RPG 2 was actually reworked into Paper Mario as there is a tittle screen showing it being called Super Mario RPG 2. There is also a test room that has the text Mario RPG on the floor.

Love falling asleep to these videos.

Yesssss perfect for my lunch hour!!!

Crazy how the celebrity that was gonna work with Nintendo was actually Kanye West.

Can't believe I've missed this channel over the years! Been a huge fan of DYKG but didn't hear much about this second channel and I'm glad you released the update recently, now I have HOURS of videos to enjoy. I also love the choice of (mostly Rare) soundtracks in these videos! Bravo!

Already got me nostalgic by playing the file select theme in the beginning.

Translation of the german news article to Desert Island: "Super Real Island didn't sunk yet though it got very quiet around the Imagineer game. The game is now called Desert Island and leaves the player on a lonely island. In order to survive you have to harvest and breed animals. With time passing by your environment changes to your advantage and disadvantage for example with the appearing of wild predators. The game comes in 3D and shares similarities with titles like Sim-City and Populous. Work on the game has just begun (with 20% done) and it is scheduled to launch in 1999 for the 64DD."

EA: Buys studios just to close them. Nintendo: Ask studios to develop games that they won't publish and bankrupt them. 👍

Appreciate the quality content that you all work hard to put out!!

RIP Nintendo World, it was the best gaming magazine we have here in Brazil, and it was printed until the early Switch days

There's not enough coverage about cancelled games out there. There are too many full games being lost to time, and information on games that never could make it are getting completely erased. Great job cataloguing so much

I watch these videos and I just can’t help but think “man these characters would be cool in Smash”

These videos are the best ! Thank you ! I can’t get enough 😍

Still hurts my hear that Contra Spirits 64 was cancelled for the Nintendo 64. I first heard about the game in a 1997 issue of NEXT GEN MAGAZINE. What a great magazine that was besides Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM).

Did you know? Over 100 games for the N64 never saw the light of day. BUT FIRST, we need to talk about Parallel Universes.

52:48 missed opportunity, could've said "Bottom Up went bottom up"

17:00 wow so I'm not the only one who remembers the promises made around the Robotech N64 game

These cancelled games videos are definitely some of my favorite videos you guys have ever made

That Mario 64 menu music gives me nostalgia chills

Gotta love these 1 hour clips lol

I love these 1 hours

the amount of ambition nintendo has blows my mind

To know that the company that made Body Harvest became Rockstar North is fascinating. I honestly wish they'd made a sequel, or a remake of it. The game was a fever dream, but yet it was so enticing as a game. I'd say it was much more innovative than most games at the time

I love finishing online school to have one of these vids in my Notifications.

i love how he keeps using ogre battle footage lmfao

You should probably change the name of this channel. I mean, clips aren't really uploaded on this channel anymore (I still love these hour long videos tho)

10:47 the game shown is Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber. Vastly underrated quasi real time strategy game

these video are a god send when your drunk and grinding out a game

more of these please :)

Listening to this while playing mario 64 on my switch, very nice 👌

Would've liked to see a possible sequel to Mission Impossible there were elements in that game which were rather unique. Also, nice touch leaving the CIA Rooftop track from the game playing in the background at 34:37. The soundtrack was killer

I slept to these videos last night

I wonder how many potentially successful franchises simply died on the vine during the N64’s lifespan

That disc drive sounded like it could have been cool. It's always a gamble though, isn't it

0:00 This song is like, "Wake up bro!".

Man that Famicom wars GBC connection would have been amazing

if this was 1 month ago and the gigaleak was in july, why isnt the actual luigi beta model in the thumbnail? cause its a legit luigi

Lethal encounter would have been a great addition to the n64.Turok and starfox gameplay sounded interesting.

I feel as though I remember playing something similar to the Ceasers palace, but the name seriously sticks out to me as maybe what I played. some sort of demo or something maybe? This was back here in the UK where pirated cds of n64 games to play on the Dr64 were super common

I love hot dogs.

Love this beat

Looking Glass just can't get a break, can they?

carts were expensive to order and you had to guess the right amount as the publisher or you would be left holding thousands of unsellable carts (ala glover). publishers were weary of the n64, hence why so many mediocre n64 games never found a publisher. ps1 was more profitable, and also had a lot more shovelware by extension, but it was easier to get a publisher on board for an only okay ps1 game.

Possibly the game I would personally be most interested in playing would be that Pokemon RPG. That Young Olympians game sounds like it would have also been interesting.

The list of canceled games is amazing but I would have loved to see mario 64 2 or bajo threeie or to know really what happened with them

0:35 the camera turns counter-clockwise instead of clockwise :0

Maybe Luigi was going to playable in super mario 64 2 before no one knew that lt was real

wow. I did not realize I was listening for more than 2 hrs now.

Can you do Cancelled Wii U Games with Scott The Woz and even Remix just for only someday please?

This is the earliest I'll ever be. But great timing as I can listen while I take a shower.

These videos are epic

Good call on the rules, shame though about Dinosaur Planet. I got to experience that at E3 2000 and what a loss.

Man I can't wait to check stocks on Wall Street DD once the N64DD releases in America!

Love this, this GOLD. I loved my N64, but the game droughts where horrible. Still got 3 of the best 10 games ever IMO. Mario64 has held up amAZINGLY.

DD Mario 64 2 is something i wish i could have see

"and then devoted their resources to Superman 64" OH NYO

Is that opening song from Super Mario 64? it sounds so familiar but I can't quite place it...

Mana from sky _and_ air?! What a concept! How could the game have been cancelled?!

crazy that there never was a SMB64 2 was made

sometimes I leave these playing in the background until I think… why am i watching this?

Where is a SimpleFlips? And can you also do all of the entire Cancelled Wii U Games with Scott The Woz and oh yes Remix just for maybe like only for on someday please?

6:47 Hey that's their company logo from body harvest one of my favorite N64 titles 😊

I think my Father would have enjoyed playing SM64 if there was a version for 2 players as he was the one who shared that adventure with me when i first got my N64 Back in 1997

Catroots sounds like " Itchy and Scratchy ".

wow I think the last baseball game i played was on nes in 1990!

Nintendo really be cancelling games for so many years.

Man if they were gonna put this much effort into a CD add on why not just build it into the fucking console

N64 is easily top 5 as far as consoles go! Absolutely love mine.

Crazy how nostalgia the opening music is........awwww simpler times

I wonder if Nintendo persevere in their archives the N64 Earthbound demo

THERE WAS GONNA BE AN N64 GAME FOR ROBOTECH?!?!?!?

Give those chrono remake a job square

Corridor games are by far the best genre

So many games fell victim to the 64DD failing :(

As much as I enjoy pikmin, I really would have liked if mario 128 wasn't turned into it. You can just tell they had so much planned for it, but we saw none of that because of so many development issues.

Nintendo made Dreams first but way too ambitious for the time

I love the dk64 music

Anyone know the music used around the 20 minute mark? Around the quest 64 mark. Sounds like Mario rpg or Paper Mario but I just can't put my finger on it.

Video title should have been 64 DD games that were cancelled lmao

In a way I’m glad a mario 64 sequel was not made I just think it was such a iconic 3D Platformer that a sequel would have ruined it

They really got to bring the 64DD games on the switch virtual console.

I So wish we had Doshin the Giant in the NSO service.

two canceled Kimba games?.... Hmmm suspicious... I blame the Lion King!

Wasn't "Lethal Encounter" Aerofighters 64? They look really, really similar.

I wish the Golgo 13 game was released I really liked the movies

Just a re-released video from before. Like not even a compilation

That's a real shame about the N64 Chrono Trigger remake, it looked really good for fan work, especially limited to 64 specs. Hope they got to go on to something equally cool for them.
