Episode notes
Collector Confessions
- Mike collects Quest 64 rarities like sealed SharkBite memory cards and print ads.
- He considered buying a four-foot cardboard standee but hesitated due to family and space concerns.
Game Boy Demake Comparison
- Quest Brian's Journey (Game Boy) is a demake that fleshes out the story and QoL, but lacks the 3D charm.
- Mike recommends it as a superior 2D experience if you haven't played Quest 64 first.
Re-release Unlikely On Switch Online
- A Switch Online release is unlikely because Nintendo prioritizes first-party and highly requested titles.
- Third-party, lesser-known N64 games like Quest 64 face low chances of official re-release.
