Despite its flaws, the Nintendo 64 was not only a great system, but a revolutionary one. This video conversation covers the system's best and most important games, from obvious favorites like Ocarina of Time to more niche games like Pokemon Snap.
Time is also given to discus the N64's wacky controller and the system's numerous add-ons.
Prominent N64 modder HailToDodongo has released the first version of N64 game engine and editor, Pyrite64, alongside a short highlight video.
While the Nintendo 64 didn’t sell the most units during its hallowed run, it did see multiple genre-defining games.
It’s true that graphically some of them are a bit rough around the edges, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t games on the N64 that still hold up.
Star Fox 64, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64… man, this was seriously a time where you were feeling gaming gong to the next level. I still think the PS1 library stomped the sh*t out of the N64’s, but I’d be lying if I said there weren’t more than a few bangers on that console.
I think the n64 is one of the worst consoles for holding up over time, the 3d polygons of the games were very early iterations and pretty much all look like crap today, such as Mario 64.
Yea, I mean for sure, a lot of things don’t hold up, but it’s got plenty of games that were on PS1 (sans FMV except for whatever black magic was done for RE2), that despite looking outdated, the art direction, charm, and passion behind it sells it for me.
Like visually Mario 64 is pretty rudimentary, but man… when you play that game, at least for me, the nostalgia hits f*cking hard. Ocarina of Time was one of the games that changed my perspective from games just being something you do out of boredom to things of art. Gokdeneye was something me and my friends would just gather around and play for hours after school. So, the N64 will always have a special place in my heart.
in my humble opinion, the N64 is perhaps greatest console of all time along with ps2 and ps1
it has the greatest next gen leap of all time, the jump to 3D gfx along with 4 controller ports was the most revolutionary leap of all time
it has the best fps games of all time like goldeneye007, perfect dark and turok series
the best adventure games of all time, Mario 64, banjo kazooie/tooie, conker, rayman 2, dk64
the greatest wrestling games of all time, No Mercy and Wrestlemania 2000
and perhaps the best game ever zelda the ocarina of time
also turok series, world is not enough, doom64, blast corpse, duke 64/ duke zero hour, mario kart, f-zero, smash bros, adventure racing, paper mario, wave race , diddy kong racing, star fox 64, jet force gemeni, star wars rogue squadron/shadow of the empire
Broke my N64 for out to nostalgia trip while I wait for the new Killer Instinct and man do I miss those days
Love you N64!
I remember playing Wave Race with my dad, and then beating Mario 64 with my cousins. (tears)
good memories, great system, amazing games
Two words. Rumble... Pack
when I was a kid this was the console I got and let me say, it wasn't that great. Sometimes we would only get like 5 games in an entire year while the PS1 was getting hundreds in the same time-frame. This is when Nintendo lost me and I started with the Nes and then Snes and then N64 for obvious reasons but ever since Iwata became Nintendo's boss the company went down the drain.
The N64 has so few good games you could count them all in one hand. XD
