    Retro N64 games

    Hi all.

    The Mrs wanted me to get an N64 to play all the old favourites, such as Goldeneye, Mario Kart, etc. Now, rather than buying an overpriced, old machine, is there any way of playing these games on a Wii U? Are there emulators available or does Nintendo have a library of N64 games that can be downloaded and played on their newer consoles??

    Yup, the Wii U has a "virtual console" but the games aren't cheap, and oftentimes it'd be cheaper to buy the original cartridge.

    There are decent emulators on PC though, project 64 being my favourite.

    Thanks Ganty. Maybe the PC option is the way to go.

    I'm no authority on this, but you can (or atleast could) hack the wii side of the WiiU and do everything you could do with a hacked Wii while it was in Wii mode, including playing an N64 emulator.

    buy a cheap android box (something like the VidOn one), load the android emulators, drop some roms and pop in a USB gamepad, - done!
    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.
