[Note: This video and description were originally posted on Youtube on February 10, 2015.] This is a capture of me playing through the Expert Championship mode in Wave Race 64 for the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator and was not played on the Wii Virtual Console. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64. I'm using my favorite character: Ryota Hayami I had played the original Wave Race on Game Boy before the Nintendo 64 was released, but I didn't really get into the game. However, when Nintendo Power showed off pictures of the upcoming Wave Race 64, I became interested and decided to ask for the game. I then received Wave Race 64 along with Super Mario 64 and a new Nintendo 64 system for Christmas of 1996. I proceeded to play through Wave Race at the same time as Super Mario 64, which made for a great holiday break. I have replayed this game countless times and it never gets old. The water physics are outstanding, and so are the course designs. The music is pretty good too. Also, I still find the graphics appealing to this day. Overall, this is my second favorite racing game for the Nintendo 64 behind Excitebike 64. Since I'm using an actual Wave Race 64 cartridge from 1996, you can see the Kawasaki logo in the game (the Virtual Console version doesn't use the Kawasaki license, but instead contains banners promoting the Nintendo DS and Wii). Also, the cartridge still contains my custom settings for Ryota that I've used for nearly 19 years now. Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the N64's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal. I'm using a standard N64 controller.
