Yeah, a factory sealed goldeneye. I saw the back of the box and it states, "Battery backed saves your progress" I was wondering if N64 games also use watch batteries that SNES and Genesis games use, or do they have the same saving system as a USB stick ( which has no need for batteries ). Also, do watch batteries ( CR2023 ) leak, do I need to change them ASAP as soon as they die.
Congrats on Goldeneye. Not sure about the saving if its flash memory or battery backup but I would have to guess its still battery based since it would have been cheaper at the time. I could be wrong here I'm only guessing!
I just picked up Resident Evil 2 for the N64 on Ebay can't wait for it to get here!
The regular lithium batteries should not do any weirdnesses unless you get them wet... nothing to worry about really...
90% of N64 games either save to memory card or to a non-volatile internal cartridge save, there were very few N64 games that still used battery save like the ones found in SNES games, the only notable ones I can think of were Smash Bros and Oot (always thought that was weird cos those weren't early games, and were both big releases) those I think were the only Nintendo made games like that, all the Rare games use non-volatile eeprom saves, and most of the Acclaim games use memory cards.
So basically you have nothing to worry about.
