Pikachu just turned 30, so I'm throwing a Pokemon Stadium party using an N64

I'm pretty horrified that Pokémon is now 30 years old, so I've decided to fight the existential dread by playing N64 all weekend. Specifically, I'm planning on playing Pikachu's 3D debut on an actual Nintendo 64, potentially with some friends if they're up for a Pokémon Stadium party, so I thought I'd share the setups I'm planning to use.

To celebrate Pokémon's 30th Anniversary, it feels only right that I use the special edition Pikachu N64 console from the year 2000, but you don't need a big electric mouse on the front of your console to replicate my setup. Basically, my ensemble should act as inspiration for revising arguably one of the greatest creature-clashing party game hybrids of all time.

If you're up for some Pokémon Stadium party planning, you'll want to start by getting the N64 connected to a screen. You'll want to effectively hook up using either an RCA composite (the red, blue, and yellow jacks) or S-Video if you're feeling fancy.
