Welcome to NBC Nintendo voice chat IGN's number one Nintendo show. It's actually the only Nintendo show at IGN.

This is episode 566 and I'm your host Zach Ryan joined today by Simon Cardi, the most hated man on the internet. Sorry to hear about Simon.

What? Well, I'll let out Miranda.

We'll give him that later. Miranda Sanchez. How are you this morning?

I am doing great. I'm wearing Pikachu colors today, but you can't see it because you know videos weird. Don't worry about it.

Anyway, that's great.

And Dan Salvato, founder of Team Salvato, creator of Doki Doki Literature Club and the creative director of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, which we're going to talk about later in the show.

Also, we're going to talk a little bit about some more stuff from the Nintendo Direct, what we've been playing, you know, the usual biz.

But first, I want to get this out of the way real quick. This week is actually the 25th anniversary of the Japanese launch of the Nintendo 64, which makes me feel incredibly old that this came out 25 years ago.

So some fun Nintendo 64 facts for everybody. First of all, 33 million units sold worldwide, not even enough to crack the top 10, but still, you know, a beloved system in our hearts.

Top selling games, Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Golden Eye, Ocarina of Time, Super Smash Brothers, IGN named it the ninth greatest console of all time back in 2015.

And real quickly, I just wanted to ask my cast today, do you have a favorite N64 game? Do you have a favorite N64 memory? And you're our guest. Let's start with you.

Let's see.

There I have so many fond memories of playing in 64 when I was younger and we had so many great games. I think for the time being as an adult, I'm going to have to say Yoshi's story.

As I have the poster, no, this one, I'm a wall back there. There you go.

And that would be because I speedrun Yoshi's story and have been doing so for around seven years.

So I would say as far as total hours goes, I probably put more into that game than any other N64 game by a long shot.

Wow, that's impressive.

Marita, what about you?

Ocarina or, yeah, Ocarina of Time, because that was the first video game that made me feel anything.

I am rather on the young side. So the N64 was my first household console.

So that's a lie. The first one that I actually had an active participation in playing. We had a second Genesis, but I was a baby.
