Redditor OhioStateBuck has collected every Nintendo 64 cartridge released in North America. Doesn't seem like much, does it? Blame it on those cartridges.
Nintendo's choice of game delivery device wasn't the only reason the Nintendo 64 wound up with such a comparatively small library, but those expensive cartridges sure didn't help. While competitor Sony's original PlayStation wound up with more than 1,000 games pressed onto relatively cheap CDs, the entire North American Nintendo 64 library consists of 296 games.
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got plenty of games that were on PS1 (sans FMV except for whatever black magic was done for RE2), that despite looking outdated, the art direction, charm, and passion behind it sells it for me.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.
That's cool. Now let's see all the PS1 games on one image!!!
Nice. Wow, it didn't have that many games did it?
I wish the picture was higher rez, would be good to make out more detail.
So many amazing games in 1 picture. N64 had some of the best exclusives of all time.
He's selling all it for $250
I always forget how few games n64 had, considering how many great ones there were.
