Just Bought a N64...

[Rokku]

And I had a question about it.

Which games NEED a Memory Pak to save? I like the rumble, but as we all know, you can't have rumble AND memory paks.

 

[kthnxshwn]

N64 saves on the cartridge.

That doesn't make sense, there wouldn't be Memory Paks if you didn't need them at all.

I'm not sure if the system has one installed, but I'll probably get one if not so I can play DK64.

And that TremorPak thing looks cool, but it apparently eats batteries like a Game Gear...Of course nobody thought to combine that with one of the more modern battery-free rumble paks that came later in the console's lifespan.

I remember Duck dodgers I think needed one.

I know Mario Kart 64 needs one for ghost data, but I'm not sure if Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie need one.

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

Gauntlet Legends needed one. Namco Museum might, to save scores.

you are certainly right about mario karts ghost data. mario 64 and the banjo games saved to cartridge though. As for a game that saved to the mem pak, the 4 turok games used mem paks off the top of my head

it depends on what games you have, you should have put a list of what games you have with your n64 and go from there, for a start i know goldeneye requires a memory pak.

Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie do not require a memory pak. The only games I can recall that needed them were Rayman 2, and Donkey Kong 64

 

[Devante]

I have those TremorPaks. They shake a lot harder than the normal rumble packs.

 

[Rokku]

I don't have any games, sadly. It didn't come with any.

I was going to start with Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Diddy Kong Racing. Maybe even a lesser-known game like Buck Bumble.

Full list here of what saves where:

Do a search for [MCS] to skip right to the games that need the pak.

I never really got why we needed the controller pak in the first place with a cartridge based system, but whatever. A lot of sports games annoyningly needed the whole card. Turok 2 needed most of a card.

 

[Rokku]

Well I don't play sports games unless they're F-Zero or Mario Kart...

 

[Smuff]

The only games I came across on the N64 that needed the mem pack were DK64 (came bundled with) and Perfect Dark.
Could well be others though.........

 

[boktor666]

I remember Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon needing a Controller Pack, as well as Daikatana, Turok... and some others, but I can't completely recall all of it. Oh btw, gratz with ur n64, I enjoyed it while I was younger, and you shall too.
