What Have I Been Playing Since July 25th?
Today's post will be the second post in the "What Have I Been Playing Since ___?" Series! For newcomers to the blog, three things; hello, and thank you for reading my blog. Third, this series is basically a less formal and shorter version of my video game reviews, which I stopped writing on June 10th, 2026. That review was for a mod of Doom II: Hell on Earth (1994: MS-DOS) called Batman Doom (1999: Windows). Over the last almost three months, I have played more games than I have expected, but […]https://doomfan1.wordpress.com/2026/09/04/what-have-i-been-playing-since-july-25th/

Salut la compagnie ! Est- ce que par hasard, il y aurait un·e gamer·euse sur #Rennes qui aurait un jeu de Nintendo 64 à me prêter quelques jours (style de jeu pas important, sauf peut être : pas un jeu de foot) pour tester ma N64 fraîchement sortie du grenier ? D'avance merci !
(PS : oui c'est pour une revente donc si quelqu'un·e est intéressé·e par une N64 bleu transparent avec une manette supplémentaire, on peut skipper le test 😀 )

New blog post time!
Nintendo 64 Month ends with Automobili Lamborghini, a racing game brought to you by Titus, the name everybody loves to see on N64 games. It also got a Japan-only re-release with a new name and Taito's help, and that's just so odd I couldn't resist taking a look:

Paper Mario: Star Nova Impressions
About two weeks ago, I completed a mod for Paper Mario (2001: Nintendo 64) called Paper Mario: Star Nova (2026: Nintendo 64). Unlike the more well-known Paper Mario mods like Paper Mario TTYD64 (2023: Nintendo 64) or Paper Mario: Master Quest (2019: Nintendo 64), Star Nova's story is completely original and takes place in a kingdom called Stellaria. Ironically, this kingdom is located near the Mushroom Kingdom, but Mario does not know that until much later in the story. But besides that, Star […]https://doomfan1.wordpress.com/2026/08/12/paper-mario-star-nova-impressions/

This week's game is 64 de Hakken!! Tamagotchi: Minna de Tamagotchi World, a pre-Mario Party board game about raising Tamagotchis and playing minigames. It's slim on features, but rich in visual delights and has a soundtrack by ACE long before they did Xenoblade!

Star Fox: Remake of N64 Classic is Cinematic Glory 🌃
Just launched this week to critical acclaim if Star Fox on the Nintendo Switch 2. This is a remake by New York developer Velan Studios on behalf of Nintendo, bringing back to life the classic 1997 N64 rail shooter Lylat Wars (called Star Fox 64 everywhere else).
This production was announced unexpectedly a in May 2026. Now it’s out, full credit to Velan Studios as it’s done an amazing job here. Bringing a classic retro title to the modern era with a total modern overhaul.
Do a Barrel Roll! It’s Star Fox on the Switch 2
These modern remakes of classic games are common. We’re not always 100% with them as it feels like developers succumbing to the demands of True Gamer bro graphics snobs.
However, we’ve come to appreciate the remakes more. The Final Fantasy VII remake (2020) by Square Enix is beautifully observed. And the same must be said here with Star Fox.
It’s the original game from 1997, one of the most celebrated titles on the Nintendo 64, but with a graphical overhaul and added cinematics across the experience. It works a treat and adds a new layer of immersive excellence to everything.
For the record, here’s what the 1997 game looks like now. Cutting-edge for its time, which also included Nintendo’s innovation with the rumble pak (every developer has made that ubiquitous with every game ever since).
As with many N64 owners, we have very fond memories from back in 1997 blasting through Lylat Wars. It offered multiple paths to take across the game, so each playthrough would last about an hour across six different stages.
The replayability was there to come back and complete each different route, with a high score element across each level coming us very occupied.
But it was just a dramatic game. You’re there as Fox McCloud and a fleet of crafts, fighting to save the solar system from the evil genius scientist Andross, and all it was delivered with a cinematic feel. That’s now enhanced, better than ever, and with a whole bunch of new features, too.
The Star Fox 64 Remake Revitalises the Original Concept
Revisiting our favourite stages with the enhanced look has been a big highlight of the Star Fox remake. Above with Zoness was a real thrill, everything ramped up, the game looking amazing, that excellent score in the background.
It’s a stealth mission where Fox and his team are coming in hot, taking out searchlights to avoid detection, then a massive boss at the end to wipe out. Again, it’s all so beautifully realised and we can’t help but swoon for it.
Just look at Sector X in action, it’s a marvel to behold. Especially with the excellent new voice acting and that glorious score.
We’ve done a full feature on the Star Fox 64 remake soundtrack. Sector X is one of our favourites, but there’s a lot of excellence going on across the whole score.
Fantastic stuff, then, but all of this does mean this remake is just the 1997 game with a new paint job. There are no new levels and the updated stages from 1997 are just that. There are no new sections or added variants, they’re exact replicas (except for excellent new voice acting and dialogue).
That means if you’ve played the original to death, this remake may not exactly be what you want. It looks amazing, but it is the 1997 original game with no significant additions to the central campaign.
However, Velan Studios has ramped up the offering in other areas:
- Online multiplayer options that are lots of fun
- A challenge mode where you can test your mettle across all the stages
- Cinematic interludes to heighten the sense of story
- Sharpened up controls (it’s a massive improvement)
We love the original, but must conclude this is just a massive upgrade. We have no reservations on this being a level-by-level remake, as the new flourishes add so much to an already brilliant classic.
Not least with the story. Basically, Fox McCloud is avenging the death of his father (whilst defeating Andross). And he flies alongside the incredibly sardonic Falco, the wise Peppy, and enthusiastic but bumbling Slippy.
In the original game, the story wasn’t developed out anywhere near as much (plus, Slippy toad was a pain in the arse). Here, the cinematic scenes really do add a lot of weight to the drama and are very welcome.
Falco is also just fantastic with his sass overload.
And that’s what the winner for us is here. Everything ramped up a level for the modern generation and we do think this is one of the best big AAA releases of 2026. If you have a Switch 2, it’s a must. And at only £40 it’s one of the best value releases, too.
Do a barrel roll! This one is a gem.

Super Mario 64 – 30 Years
Oh boy. I know the anniversary of this game has passed already, but I needed a few days to really gather my thoughts for this retrospective. Especially because I also posted a retrospective for Quake (1996: Windows) on Monday. However, while I love Quake and it is one of my favorites, Super Mario 64 (1996: Nintendo 64), for those new to the blog, was actually the first video game I ever played. Despite being in my early 30s (thirty-two), yes, SM64 was in fact, the first video game I played, […]https://doomfan1.wordpress.com/2026/06/25/super-mario-64-30-years/

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 134
Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.
Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?
I recommend you check out the following videos I found.
#1 Resident Evil: Apocalypse Reviews, Retrospective And Reaction Videos – After watching the 2002 live-action Resident Evil movie, I left the cinema feeling unsatisfied as it did not have much related to the popular video game series. That film succeeded enough to justify the production of the sequel Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and the first reveal of Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine (based on her appearance in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis) caught my attention. The reveal of Raccoon City getting hit by the zombie apocalypse and the casting of Oded Fehr as Carlos Oliviera (another RE3 character) interested me. In September 2004, I saw Resident Evil: Apocalypse on opening day in the local cinema and I was entertained for the most part. The Milla Jovovich-led film was indeed flawed, but it was an enjoyable improvement over its 2002 predecessor. How Resident Evil: Apocalypse fares with the YouTubers is something you must see.

#2 The Planned California City That Failed – Have you ever heard of Salton City? It was a planned city in the state of California located along the Salton Sea. It was designed as a resort community capable of supporting forty thousand residents, and it was to have the complete systems of water, roads, sewer and energy. Salton City is a ghost town and the in-depth YouTube video I found will help you realize its history and why development failed.
https://youtu.be/42kzy9PxHXc?si=86ytUBsr-XXcNx5P
#3 Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire Game Revisited – Back in the mid-1990s, George Lucas’ entertainment group launched the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire multi-media project which told what happened between the movies The Empire Strike Back and Return of the Jedi. The said project was huge even though there was no live action Star Wars movie involved. A Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire novel was released which became the foundation of a comic book adaptation (read my retro reviews here and here), a video game, toys, action figures and merchandise. The video game of Shadows of the Empire was a joint project between LucasArts and Nintendo and its release on Nintendo 64 drew a lot of attention back then. The game itself made gamers – both Star Wars fans and casual gamers – want to get an N64 to play the game. I recently found two in-depth retrospective videos about Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire on N64 and I encourage you all to watch them.

#4 The Embarrassing Woke NDP Of Canada – Have you ever heard about the New Democratic Party? Referred to as NDP for short, New Democratic Party is a very leftist and woke political party in Canada and it had a really bad result in the 2025 federal election. Recently, the NDP had its leadership election and what happened in late March saw a series of awkward and embarrassing moments during their big event. In the videos below, you will see why political correctness, identity politics and wokeness are bad to have, and they made the internal processes of the NDP hard to pull off. In fact, diversity and inclusion zealotry have caused divisions within the NDP’s convention. What happened was funny to watch and it was not a comedy at all.

#5 Elderly Japanese Women And Their Beloved Restaurants – In Japan, many Japanese people live really long lives. Among them are elderly people who are active and managed to make an impact on others. That said, there are two elderly Japanese women who excelled in cooking meals and managing restaurants, and what they offer will impress you. I urge you all to watch the Nippon TV feature below.

A Look Back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996)
Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research. Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author. Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A.

Welcome back science fiction enthusiasts, 20th century pop culture enthusiasts, Star Wars fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1996 to examine the 3rd chapter of a very notable Star Wars storyline that took place between the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi…Shadows of the Empire!
With the first two issues of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire released (click here and here), the overall concept of the storyline has firmly been set and with sub-plots moving. This includes characters and developments that were not reflected nor referenced at in Return of the Jedi. At this stage, there is both excitement and suspense to look forward to.
With those details laid down, here is a look back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3, published in 1996 by Dark Horse Comics with a story written by John Wagner and drawn by Kilian Plunkett. This is the 3rd chapter of the 6-issue mini-series.
The cover.Early story
The story begins with the gang of Gizman – including the newcomer Jix – who visit Jabba The Hutt in his palace for an important meeting. After expressing doubt about Jix, Jabba tells the gang that he is aware of Luke Skywalker’s presence in Tatooine and he has been signed near the former dwelling of Ben Kenobi. Jabba finds Skywalker more valuable to him dead. A short time later, Jix asked why does Jabba want Skywalker dead when Darth Vader will on pay for him to be living. This causes a bit of tension within the gang.
With R2D2 present with him at Obi-Wan’s old place, Luke Skywalker completed his brand-new lightsaber. Suddenly a laser blast almost hits them both and Luke realizes that the gang (which just met Jabba) is fast approaching them. The laser blast came from Jix who was told to hold his fire. Moments later, Luke takes down the first gang member who arrived using his new lightsaber…
Quality
Having the frozen Han Solo makes Boba Fett a target of those who want the prize.Like issue #2, the intrigue and twists kept on happening as the pay-offs to the previous issue’s build-up got executed. Indeed, the story here moved Shadows of the Empire’s concept forward gradually and what was shown is both entertaining and engaging.
You will see here Luke Skywalker’s first-ever use of his then new green-colored lightsaber (the same one in Return of the Jedi) as he becomes a target of Jabba The Hutt who has a violent gang targeting him. Dash Rendar, arguably a creative stand-in for Han Solo in this storyline and also the playable protagonist in the Nintendo 64 video game, becomes even more important as he took the risk of involving himself with Luke as the gang attacked. The interaction between Dash and Luke here is believable to follow and makes a lot of sense within the context of this storyline.
What I found captivating here was the scene in which Darth Vader actually (and bravely) objected to Emperor Palpatine’s plan. The scene was pretty short but it was a powerful display of tension and even division between them. Along the way, Prince Xizor remains relevant with regards to the potential events waiting to happen while more of Boba Fett’s struggle being targeted (as the frozen body of Han Solo is a very valuable prize for other bounty hunters) by others was dramatized nicely.
Conclusion
Luke Skywalker, Dash Rendar and R2D2.Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) succeeded in moving the story developments forward while ending up being entertaining enough. The speed bike chase in Beggar’s Canyon along was exhilarating to see and the dramatic moments of the sub-plots had impact. Right now, I am convinced to keep on reading more of Shadows of the Empire.
Overall, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) is recommended.

GoldenEye SID Mix Brings Nordischsound Back to Bond on the C64

Holy shit, I managed to install the #Hispeedido #HDMI thingmabob for the #Nintendo64 and IT'S BLOODY WORKING! :-) It was a bit of a nightmare soldering it to what I believe is the GPU and I wasn't sure what to expect. Where the graphics of the NES and SNES would probably be crystal sharp since it's mostly 2D, the Nintendo 64 was the early days of 3D on the console, and textures and effects are honestly not that sharp.
While the HDMI board probably offers a little more sharpness, it offers much richer colors and no color bleeding. It also offers convenience - no need for a TV that has a #SCART port or an #upscaler device. I do have several of the latter ones though, and worth noting is that the #OSSC device probably won't help you, since it doesn't like the N64's composite video signal.
Sound is included in the #HDMI signal, and so far it's pretty awesome! :-) What should I play first?

Some thoughts on the #Analogue3D:
It is very cool and sleek hardware (see my terrible photo with my original #OcarinaOfTime module) and can be a lot of fun if you want to have a mostly authentic #N64 experience on modern FullHD or 4K screen.
There are a lot of things to consider if you are willing to invest so quite a bit of money into this console:
- Despite being a #FPGA device the system is not open, so no #OpenFPGA in the future which would you allow other to #misterFPGA cores/systems (open alternatives: misterFPGA, #M64 and the #SuperStationOne).
- Some promised stuff is missing such as save states and play time recording.
- The official controller has to be bought if you don't plan to use an original N64 controller. the Wireless NSO N64 by Nintendo controller is not compatible.
- The official #8BitDo controller does not correctly emulate an N64 controller which can be problematic in certain scenarios involving the C buttons.
- Butchered PAL versions with less FPS /slowdown etc are still butchered.
- A few games do have compatibility issues (which are being worked on).
- HDMI-CEC support is broken and hasn't been fixed for weeks.
- Analogue seems to fulfilling orders in a quite random sequence.
- The integrated fan can be quite annoying/loud, especially for people sensitive for highly pitched noises.
- Don't forget about import taxes.
- No bluetooth audio, so your partner can "enjoy" the Yoshi Story soundtrack with you.
- Maybe emulation is good enough for you? 🤷
- Flash carts do at this work, just get/build a #SummerCart64. Emulators written for N64 hardware emulating other system do not work though.
