In terms of sheer quality, Absolutely. But as far as quantity and variety is concerned, it's easily one of Nintendo's worst showings. Take Rare out of the equation, and you mostly have Mario games, SNES sequels, and a few sports games. Sure Super Mario 64 and OoT were revolutionary, but Nintendo's overall N64 lineup was lacking in variety and quantity compared to their other systems. |
If you're going to put in the arbitrary stipulation of "you can't count Rare" for whatever reason, then things like Retro Studios shouldn't be counted for the Wii.
Super Mario 64
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Zelda: Majora's Mask
Star Fox 64
Animal Forest (Crossing)
Pokemon Snap
Super Smash Bros.
F-Zero X
Wave Race 64
Pilotwings 64
Mario Kart 64
Yoshi's Story
Mario Tennis
Mario Golf
Paper Mario
Sin & Punishment
Kirby 64
1080 Snowboarding
Is a pretty diverse set of games anyway. Then you factor in Rare + other Nintendo 2nd party projects you can add Blast Corps, GoldenEye 007, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo-Kazooie, Starcraft 64, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Killer Instinct Gold, Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Cruis'n' USA, Command & Conquer 64, NBA Courtside, Ken Griffey Jr. MLB, Ridge Racer 64, Excitebike 64, Pokemon Puzzle League, Tetrisphere, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day.
If you're talking 1st + 2nd party projects, the N64 is quite diverse.
