Forums - Nintendo - Recommended N64 games

Hello folks.

 

Since my plans for a Wii U got hijacked by the plans of my GF for a new laptop, I'm planning on putting her good ol' N64 to some use.

I haven't been a Nintendo gamer in forever...so what could you recommend I get and play on the console? At the moment all I have is Ocarina of Time and I'm not a big fan of Zelda games.

So what was awesome on this system?

 

Yes, Google does exist and it seems to be a thing, but I'd like some direct opinions from peers I respect on the subject matter.

Mario 64



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Well, you probably know all the big names off the bat so I'll try my best to name some 'overlooked' gems. (Well, gems in my opinion at least.)

- Mischief Makers (2D perfection)
- Bomberman 64 (overhead type, great story)
- Blast Corps (destruction madness)
- Jet Force Gemini (Third person shooter)
- Snowboard Kids (If you're looking for a game similar to Mario Kart and enjoy multiplayer, this is the right game for you. Excellent for parties)

Guess that would do for a start.

You should try Rare's games, specially Banjo, Conker and Jet Force Gemini! Paper Mario is also an awesome RPG even if you are not that good at them! Other games worth giving a try include: Mischief Makers, Super Mario 64, Smash Bros 64, Kirby 64 and the Mystical Ninja games!

You should try Paper Mario, Kirby 64, and the Mario Party trilogy. All of those games are gonna cost you at least $30, probably upwards of $40 for the Mario Party games. Retro games are expensive... :/
