The N64 Glitch that Destroyed Childhoods

My friends, today we share the harrowing stories of those who spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours playing WWF No Mercy for the Nintendo 64, only to experience the fateful and nearly unavoidable memory glitch, which erased all data and progress, and made the game nearly unplayable after that point, as previously unlocked characters and championship paths could not be unlocked again. By the fireside, we share the accounts of a GoldenEye speedrunner, and a heartbroken Redditor, who both had experiences with this glitch. Enjoy this deep dive into gaming history and analysis of one of the greatest Wrestling Video Games of all time, despite the devastating Memory Glitch. 00:00 Intro 01:08 Learning about the Glitch 03:24 Brose's Account 06:57 Memory Deletion in Other N64 Games 09:18 An Old GameFAQs Thread 13:01 The Recall? 17:16 Iceberg Detour 18:16 A Harrowing Story 20:49 Thanks for Watching! -- Links and vids used or referenced in this video; Brose's Original Post which gave me the idea to discuss this; https://forums.the-elite.net/index.ph...
