Difference?
South Carolina, USA

Hey guys! so I noticed there were two N64 options. There was NA / PAL N64 and J N64, so I would like to know what's the diffent and what the "NA / PAL" and the "J" for both stand for. All I know is I have a 64.

Are you playing the American or European version of the game (then it would be NA / PAL). Otherwise if the game is in Japanese (you would choose J version)

Oh so that just stands for the language? Because if that's the case I'm using an American copy but I think all copies are MADE in Japan unless their fake, I'm just saying the language is American.

Yes if the language is English with no option to switch language then you are using the NTSC-U or NA version which is the most common / most played here. Have fun !

Ok thank you!

It's not just the regional language itself that's different, actually - the NTSC-U version is significantly different from the NTSC-J version, whereas the Australian PAL release only has changes to Link, Samus, Fox and the Pokémon, and the European PAL release hates on Link specifically.
