Back when it first came out, my mom rented an N64 for my birthday weekend from Blockbuster including Wave Race 64, Goldeneye 007 and Blast Corps. I don’t think I slept that entire weekend!
Oddly enough, the MiSTer FPGA N64 core has undergone some incredibly quick progress in the last few days, and Wave Race 64 is one of the first games that is almost fully playable. Follow the dolphin!
Loved this game, especially the midi versions of the top gun soundtrack. I’d leave the intro screen on and just listen to it loop while I did other things.
I remember my brother renting this and bringing it home. I took a look at the box and immediately thought this was going to be hot garbage. Turns out to be a fucking masterpiece.
When Keiji Inafune signed my Mega Man 1 box he laughed and said, “Oh wow, this one!” Then he called someone from his group over to come take a look at it and explained in Japanese it was the US box art and they were like “Really?!” and we all laughed.
On the other hand, when Manami Matsumae signed it, she was just so happy someone recognized her that she offered to sign whatever I handed her. I told her she was just as important to the legacy of the series as someone like Inafune, perhaps more so.
