Hotel 64

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I'm rather shocked that these still exist: the hotel room with the built-in Nintendo 64 controller. The room may now include a nice LG flatscreen, but it still comes with an N64 claw and a downloadable library of games from two generations back.

And enjoy that price: $6.95 for an hour. Plus tax! I bet the odd spacing inside "60 minutes" means the hotel has the option to dial the timing up if they choose.

Here's the full list of games on tap, as listed in the hotel TV menu...

Mario Kart 64
Super Smash Brothers (the first one! Almost a museum piece!)
Mario Tennis (but only one controller, remember)
Super Mario 64
Mario Party 3 (at least that's the newest N64 edition)
Paper Mario
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Excitebike (64 assumed)
Hydro Thunder
Rush 2 Extreme Racing USA
Pokemon Snap (now we're talking!)
Mario Golf
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
Star Fox 64
Donkey Kong (64 assumed)
Legend of Zelda (Ocarina assumed)
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing
1080 Snowboarding
Mortal Kombat 4 (the only M rated game available)
Yoshi's Story
New Tetris
Dr. Mario 64
Majora's Mask
Rampage 2: Universal Tour
Wave Race 64
Virtual Pool 64
Gauntlet Legends
F-Zero X
Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits
PilotWings 64
Virtual Chess

You have to wonder how much business this hotel room feature still generates, in an age where even the DS ports of these games are terribly old.

Travelers note: this TV has open RCA ports and an unlocked Input button, meaning you could bring along your Wii and play games released this century, for free.
