Oh, and while it may have debuted Waluigi, it also served as the last time we saw Donkey Kong Jr., who’s been MIA ever since.

Mario Golf is also fun, but it’s Mario Tennis that I think is the better go-to Mario sports title of yesteryear. Mario Tennis: The origins of Waluigi, a character destined to… fill out the roster in Mario spinoffs (What can I say? Not every character addition is going to end up having the impact of Yoshi). A fun time, but not the go-to Mario Kart experience today, nor the best example of Mario multiplayer on the N64.

But the core gameplay holds up, and Mario Kart 64 has some of the best balloon battle courses in the series (Block Fort!). It admittedly isn’t the best Mario Kart: There are only a few memorable racetracks, the graphics are ugly, and like Diddy Kong Racing, there’s no music when playing with three or four people. Mario Kart 64: A beloved, nostalgic favorite today, but Mario Kart 64 actually wasn’t so fondly received critically in its time, being considered a disappointing follow-up to the SNES original upon its release. Why on Earth did the idea of single-player adventure games having such great multiplayer options fall out of style? But in typical Rare fashion, DK64 also includes a host of multiplayer modes at your disposal. Though for those same reasons, it can become a little tedious having to switch back and forth between characters.

With five playable characters, each with their own collectibles, DK64 certainly has variety in gameplay and a lot of things to do. DK64, while still a fun collect-a-thon platformer, is sometimes too big for its own good. To this day, people are waiting for Mario Kart to emulate its adventure mode.ĭonkey Kong 64: The biggest Nintendo 64 game in the literal sense of the term. Not to mention it introduced us to both Banjo and Conker! It also boasts great multiplayer that is somewhat hindered by the fact that there’s no music when playing with more than two players.

Oh, and to save myself the hassle of ranking this list, I didn’t! I just listed all ten games in alphabetical order and I recommend them as is! Some are colorful platforming romps, some are epic adventures, and some are full of the multiplayer goodness the N64 made famous!īefore we get to the top 10 proper, however, here are some honorable mentions:ĭiddy Kong Racing: A Mario Kart-style racing game combined with a Super Mario 64-style adventure! That’s one amazing combination that inspired many other kart racers to follow. These are games I would recommend simply as great games to play, that just happen to be from the Nintendo 64’s library. Not recommending games based on historical purposes to someone who didn’t grow up with the N64, and not selections for someone who did grow up with the N64 looking for some nostalgia. The following ten games are the ones I would recommend if someone wanted to play a great game on the N64 today. Even though that title was a landmark for first-person shooters (especially on home consoles) and multiplayer games in general, the games it inspired definitely improved on its foundations, which leaves Goldeneye 007 to feel kind of clunky by today’s standards.īut that doesn’t mean that every N64 great is a thing of the past, and the Nintendo 64 games that do hold up, do so pretty swimmingly. Case in point: I won’t be including Goldeneye 007. In the end, I decided to go with my usual method of which games are simply the most fun to play today.īecause of this reason, you may see some notable omissions. Or you could go with what games were best in their day. There are a few ways one could acknowledge what constitutes the “best” games on a console, such as its biggest milestone releases or its most influential titles. The Nintendo 64 recently celebrated its 25th anniversary! So I figured now was as good of a time as any to commemorate the trailblazing retro console’s best games.
