Boomer needs video games help

<p>
Boomer here (duh) with a request for help. My daughter (40) wants me to get the grandsons (4 &amp; 7) a Nintendo 64 set. She has her reasons, so no arguments there. &nbsp;Her request is a Nintendo 64, Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. &nbsp;Because they live in a really rural area 800 miles away, I&#39;d just as soon get it all via Amazon, or at least one stop shopping/delivery. &nbsp;They do have tons of (like 5) tvs, I don&#39;t know the brands or vintage etc,</p>
<p>
Here&#39;s my Amazon cart:<br />
Nintendo 64 system (renewed and protection plan)<br />
Mario Kart (renewed)<br />
Super Mario 64 (renewed)<br />
Nintendo 64 controller (renewed)<br />
Some HDMI and AV cords, figuring one of them will be compatible.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
I can&#39;t seem to find compatible Donkey Kong on Amazon</p>
<p>
Advice/hilarity?</p>

No this GenXer cant help but I just realized the quote function makes all the unreadable crap htmlese in your post go away which is cool so we got that going for us&nbsp;</p>

I recently bought a vintage Ninetendo Wii for my kids and i would guess you would need a something that converts it to HDMI male unless one of those 5 TVs are really old and has composite in.
This is 12 pin out to HDMI male and while I cant vouch for it you need something like this for a modern TV thats HDMI only.

If they have an old TV the N64 should come with a cable that is 12pin to composite like this:

I can&#39;t tell if a controller came with the N64 unit but you need 2 total, and 1-2 more if friends come over often.

DK oldies is the website to find what you seek. You will need a converter because the graphics from the old console won’t work on a modern tv. I have an original Nintendo and a N 64 and my converter just shit the bed. All the games she wants are on the Nintendo Switch…..way better idea than the old consoles.

Parents got me a Playstation 2 for xmas 25 yrs ago. It worked with a 1980s era TV I had at the time. When I got a new flat screen TV a few years later I found none of the cables from the PS2 worked. Never bothered to find the right ones and its still sitting in my closet somewhere. Have always wondered if I could get an adaptor to HDMI or something else and run it with a computer monitor. I have an original Nintendo somewhere as well.

The adapter I have to make it work on modern tv’s is made by RetroTink.

Does it look pretty good? I’ve read the graphics on newer machines can look shitty.

bro you need to get them golden eye. Don't care if they are old enough, they will be some day.
