If my memory is not deceiving me the I can recall stages of banjoo kajooie were much bigger than super mario 64. It had an adventure vibe. And the intro music was funny.

I followed the N64 from its very first announcement, I remember reading the deal Hiroshi Yamauchi had made with Silicon Graphics in October of 1993 (IIRC).

Never been so excited for a game console ever. N64 was like the first super hyped console launch.

Best console ever!!! If you love platformers specifically n64 platformers get "Rocket:robot on wheel" amazing game some of the tightest control and some tricky puzzles.

Both of them are awesome game, so I can't really choose myself..

It is funny how when you experience a system your view of it. For me the Nintendo 64 marked the decline of Nintendo in home consoles. I remember in school being rare person who owned one as opposed to the Sony PlayStation (I won a PS1 later on). It had its moments of Nintendo brilliance and then months of nothing. I just remember waiting a lot, especially for games like Goldeneye, Ocarina of Time and Donkey Kong 64. Also that Mario 64 is the only mainline Mario I did not enjoy this was the era of no Mario games. Add in the fact the games were routinely $20-30 more than competitors and made it a hard system to defend. The straw that broke me was the JRPGs scene being so barren on N64 while PS1 seemingly had one coming out every couple months.

Looking back on the whole catalog and removing cost from the mix it looks nice, but at the time it was a massive come down from the SNES (my favorite Nintendo system).

Besides the obvious already mentioned, Space Station Silicon Valley.

I agree! So sad this game is becoming forgotten by so many.

I'd love to be able to say I'm Mitchell Toy from the Department of internet, lol.

Perhaps it's because I'm 32, but I don't seem to remember the N64 nearly as fondly as many of you.

The SNES will remain my favorite console of all time!

Spent so much time waiting for Earthbound 64 for it to only be canceled :/

Was a fun console, remember playing games like Pokemon Stadium 1&2, Pokemon Snap, Mario Party, Super Smash Bros, Golden Eye, Zelda, Space Station Silicon Valley, and Conker's bad fur day to name a few.
