I agree with Cobretti @bolded.

I will concede that if you were to rank the 100 best games of that generation there would be more PS games in that list than N64 games.  But if we just rank the top 20 games of the generation - the best of the best - then the N64 would have far more games present IMO.


Of course top 10/20's etc are entirely subjective but... no, just no.

N64 was basically a Nintendo/Rare console, and that was it. Like rpgs? Too bad, you're not getting any. In fact, I think that if you take Square's whole library from that generation, you're getting pretty close to the number of must-have games on the N64.

All the games that defined the generation were released on the PS1. I can think of 3 exceptions: Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye. But that's beyond the topic.


if you like fighting games you were SOL too. and no just Smash doesnt cut it.


Do Killer Instinct, War Gods, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Mortal Kombat 4, Mace: The Dark Age, or Fighter's Destiny help cut it?

Killer Instinct Gold was just a port of 2, Trilogy another port. MK4 was ok, Mace was a terrible game same as Fighter's Destiny. SO no it doesnt help cut it if you were a fighting game fan you were still SOL. THose games dont come CLOSE to Street Fighter, Rival Schools, Darkstalkers, Tekken, Bushido Blade, Bloody Roar, etc. I could go on but ill stop. IMHO N64 doesnt come close to PS1 in this category in terms of quantity AND quality.
