Hey....me too...played aß a child with my twin Brotterode so many hours/ days and years with n64. Now 1 am 38jears. Have over 120 games.

I know it's been discussed to death, but playing Super Mario 64 for the first time as a wee little 6-year-old was life-changing. I lost countless hours just walking around the castle, exploring every corner because _it was the first time I was ever able to do anything like that!_ Making discoveries on my own (which, in retrospect, were obvious) made me feel like the world was alive, especially after growing up almost exclusively with a Sega Genesis. There are tracks of its soundtrack permanently burned into my memory for the better - like Jolly Roger Bay, Shifting Sand Land, and just the Castle's main theme - due to listening to them for hours and hours at a time. There are much better 3D platformers out there, even on the N64, but I'll never forget that first big jump from 2D to 3D. As a kid, it felt magical.

@isleohagger5455

Жыл бұрын

Well, everyone knows Banjo-Tooie is actually the best N64 game, it was loads more immersive, creative, challenging and magical, but it was the popular series Donkey Kong 64 that got to testify to this great truth. These games were on a vastly more magical, epic route that no later games would match. The industry has failed so hard to even gain the wisdom and vision to comprehend such anomalies. Even with many more flaws than Tooie or games like Majora's Mask, DK64 testified to the fact that Nintendo was in its golden years with this concept, and would never return to this age for at least three decades. They have started to again with Mario Odyssey, a game that copied parts of the fantastical but made it more mainstream and flashy and less imaginative, for those who might wish to understand again.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was a great game for this list

It was , and is to this day, one of the best multi-player games I've played. With a surprising number of game modes, in addition to the constant theme changing campaign.

What about Mario Golf? I’ve put in countless hours playing that game both solo and with friends. It has the classic playful charm you’d expect from a Mario game yet the physics and mechanics are extremely solid which makes for a challenge that you can respect. There’s a bunch to unlock and plenty of challenges if you’re playing solo and there are several different multiplayer modes. It’s a game I still go back to on occasion all these years later. Also Mario tennis is another classic especially for the multiplayer.

Wave Race 64, Pilotwings 64, Mario Kart 64, and Super Mario 64 will be my personal tetralogy as they got me hooked on the N64 in the first place.

All launch titles. Maybe a bit of nostalgia. Pilot wings was not that good

I was playing mario 64 a few days ago on the wii and there is just this certain magic about that game that isn’t present in modern games. I didn’t grow up with this console, like I said I played it on the wii, but that game is truly something special.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much years after it was released. It's a very special game, indeed.

Killer Instinct Gold was a pretty solid port of KI2 and was one of the few traditional 1 on 1 fighting games on the N64.

It was certainly better than War Gods and Clayfighter 63 1/3 😂

Castlevania 1999 and Gex 64 and Zelda Ocarina and Majora's Mask were my favorites as a kid.

Extreme G, Wipeout 64, Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, Tetrisphere.

Turok 2, Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Stadium 2.

Theres a game for N64 that I played on PC and it was part of my childhood, which is Lego Racers. What a fun game it was! All the customization, the tracks and secret routes... it's a game worth of remembering!

Played this on this as a kid mid 2000 - 2010, Every time I Hear the music or see the videos I smile

Great list I grew up playing most of these, so many great memories. I missed out on conker and perfect dark but ill get around to playing them soon. My favorite N64 game is probably Turok 2 Seeds of Evil

Great list! Well done to the N64 for making my younger life so enjoyable! This brings me smiles

Sin & Punishment! That game took me by storm. Definitely one of the best on the N64!

Perfect Dark -- the absolute least well-known best game ever. I think it came out after the Playstation, so hardly anyone paid it any attention. In the minds of the critics, it wasn't "Perfect Dark" vs Goldeneye or Turok or anything else on the N64, it was "Perfect Dark" vs pick-a-game on the Playstation.... and that's a hard battle.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. Not just a wonderful 3D Platformer, but one with an AMAZING musical score, pretty funny if a bit cheesy dialog, and 4 different characters to fall in love with. You DO need a memory card to save your progress tho.

I love coming across these old Nintendo 64 videos. My cousin and I used to play Duke Nukem 64 heaps and it was a solid game. Golden Eye too.

My Top 10: 1. Banjo Kazooie 2. Ocarina of Time 3. Mario 64 4. Perfect Dark 5. Goldeneye007 6. Majora’s Mask 7. Star Fox 64 8. Mario Kart 64 9. Diddy Kong Racing 10. Rogue Squadron

1 - The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 2 - Super Mario 64 3 - 007 Goldeneye There wasn’t anything that could outclass those games (even in any others consoles) in their release times. Also, N64 has an amazing library of games that made this console the most revolutionary video-game of all time, like: The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask Mario Kart Mario Party 1, 2, 3 Mario Tenis Paper Mario Super Smash Bros. Pokémon Snap Pokémon Stadium 1 Pokémon Stadium 2 Star Fox 64 Banjo-Kazooie Banjo-Tooie Conker’s Bad Fur Day Perfect Dark Donkey Kong 64 Diddy Kong Racer Jet Force Gemini Killer Instinct Gold Resident Evil 2 Star Wars Shadows of Empire Star Wars Rogue Squadron Star Wars Episode I Racer Star Wars Battle for Naboo Spider-Man Mortal Kombat Trilogy Mortal Kombat 4 007 The World is not Enough International Super Star Soccer 2000 Top Gear Extreme Wing Back (hidden gem) Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1, 2 and 3 Mystical Ninja starring Goemon Wave Race Pilotwings 64 Turok 1, 2 and 3 Doom 64 1080º Snowboarding

6:25 That's actually funny to me, my grandfather watched me play this game and even that particular spot. He couldn't stop laughing.

One of my favorite N64 game/series that I enjoy playing all the time- Vigilante 8 and its sequel Vigilante 8:2nd Offense from Activision and Luxoflux. Its a vehicular assault game genre series with a lot of great characters- a really good plot that deals with time travel to some extent and has some characters go good after the first game and also has one key character go from good to evil after the first chapter is over. The character sound effect voice tracks are really interesting and the music tracks- some can be annoying- but others sound really cool!

This was almost basically the games on my shelf back then. The N64 didn't have the widest library, but the best games on it were some of the best in the series or some of the best games of all time. Back in the day I wasn't buying 100s of games anyway, so I didn't really care about that criticism. Rare in particular were at their absolute peak. The variety of genres and level of quality of games they put out is insane for one studio. Between them and Nintendo, it was almost all I needed, but it did have some extra gems outside that. Wrestling games in particular have just gone downhill since in my opinion.

Man oh man this video takes me back from the all time decade in the 90’s to my glory days of the 90’s

Great list: my noted add in games are Wave Race 64 🌊 Mario Golf ⛳ and Mario Tennis 🎾

Man, this is an absolutely stellar list, and it really illustrates just how spoiled we were as gamers back then. True, the N64 lost a lot of mainstays; Final Fantasy moved to the PSX, and there were barely any fighting games or RPGs, but Nintendo really took "quality over quantity" to heart with the N64. Rare was firing hit after hit, and Nintendo's own offerings were nothing to sneeze at, either. I personally think we could have ommited Banjo Tooie and MAYBE Perfect Dark and Majora's Mask if only to highlight other games instead of sequels/successors, but they're all top notch. I think at some point or another I had all the games on this list. Here's to hoping we get that N64 online app.
