    Donkey Kong 64 has a widescreen toggle in the options which I don’t think you’re using. This looks like 4:3 stretched to 16:9, you’ll have a better time with real widescreen.

    Rare were pretty good about this, after the first few games (Blast Corps, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie?) they started putting widescreen support in most of their N64 releases.

      GoldenEye had widescreen mode too.

      I always wondered, who had a widescreen TV in the 90s? I never even knew they were a thing till I saw the options in the games for them.

    That game seems to get picked on these days, but back when it came out my brother and I were all about it. How’s it hold up?

      Still a ton of fun to play but I forgot how frustrating it can be. Some janky controls but that’s part of it’s charm

        There’s a mod that lasts you switch characters instantly which makes the game a whole lot more fun

    The only way to play this game is Kong barrel anywhere code, it fixes 95% of the games tedious backtracking
