Tonic Trouble
This is it! We've finally done it: the VERY LAST GAME in the Nintendo 64 catalog! It's all been leading to this: TONIC TROUBLE, a forgotten platformer from the creator of RAYMAN! You play as a hapless space janitor who spills a magical tonic onto Earth, making all the world's vegetables come to life, so naturally we have to discuss the moral and ethical ramifications of that.
The catalog may be over, but we're not done with the N64 just yet! Tune in next week for an extra-EXTRA-long episode where we look back at the entire show and unveil the definitive ranking of all N64 games!

Perfect Dark (with Scott Burger and Bennett Williamson)
It's our penultimate game for the Nintendo 64, and we saved a biggie. PERFECT DARK is Rare's high-profile follow-up to GOLDENEYE, and it's one of the most ambitious, technically accomplished, and replayable games on the entire system! Bennett Williamson and Scott Burger are back to help us discuss all the alien conspiracies, counter-operatives, and hidden slices of cheese Joanna Dark's adventure has to offer!

San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing / Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA /San Francisco Rush: 2049
We're finally, FINALLY finished with racing games on the Nintendo 64! And we're ending on a high note with Midway's RUSH trilogy! These goofy arcade racers are all about big air and big crashes, but does it deserve to step out of CRUIS'N's shadow and fly on their own futuristic car wings?

Beyond 64: Dwarf Fortress (with Scott Burger and Dan Reese)
We're digging deeper than ever before with this special, Patreon-funded episode! Superstar-tier Patron Scott Burger joins us to discuss DWARF FORTRESS, the esoteric underground hit that's often cited as a direct influence on MINECRAFT! Fellow DF enthusiast Dan Reese is on hand, as well, and we need all the backup we can get: this game is famous for it's high difficulty, prohibitive complexity, and often confusing visual style that uses ASCII symbols instead of graphics. It's our greatest challenge yet!
Be sure to check out the Superstar tier over at Patreon.com/ultra64pod if YOU want to join us to talk about any game of your choice!
Customer Reviews
Mike Pizza!
Four stars!
Steve, Woody,
They rank every North American N64 game with joy and hilarity. It’s so much fun to listen to them because you can tell they’re having fun. AND, who hasn’t wanted a list like this! You’ve seen the top 10’s, 25’s, shoot, maybe even 100’s Best N64 lists floating around there on the interwebs, but I’ll bet you’ve never seen a Top EVERY NA RELEASE list! And if you have, please share it with me! But, if you haven’t, you can experience it right here on this podcast and corresponding website (ultra64podcast.com)!
Oh yeah, and Steve always gives tons of cool history and context on every game they cover, which is always very interesting and informative. And Steve, Woody, and friends are very well versed in all eras of video games so their opinions are reliable.
Anyway, if you love the N64 and you love laughing, you’ll love this podcast.
My new favorite podcast
I'm a big fan of retro gaming, and now I am a big fan of this podcast. I love that they don't just review the favorites, but also of lesser known titles. Very informative and insightful. Funny too. Keep up the good work, guys!
