Retronauts 74: Nintendo 64 (Patreon)

I know, we blew it — this should have been episode 64, not 74. Please feel free to renumber the episodes ID3 tags on your computer as necessary!

This week, Bob and I invited IGN's resident classic gaming fanatic Jared Petty onto the show to discuss the 20th (!) anniversary of the Nintendo 64. It's perhaps less chock with unbridled enthusiasm as our Super NES episode, but amidst our (fair) criticisms we have plenty of good to say about the console! And its games! It occupies a strange place in history, with a relatively tiny library and only a handful of truly notable games... but brother, those games were amazing. 

There is, unfortunately, some audio distortion in this episode, likely from a cable that went bad without our knowing about it. We'll have it fixed up and our cables replaced by the time we record again (one month from now!), but in the meantime please accept our apologies for the jarring static sounds. They don't seem to have any correlation to our actions, and they don't show up on the audio histogram while recording, so we didn't know about them until after our session had ended.
