      They were in that perfect time bubble where they were in Nintendo's good graces, and in that cozy early gaming era that didn't take itself too seriously, allowing the developers to do what they like. Long before the corporatism of gaming took over, where money is prioritised over innovation.

    I've never fully figured out my ranking of them, but most of these are among my all-time favorites! Gameplay genre-wise, I definitely agree with you, Banjo-Tooie is also my number 1 pick! I love the interconnected worlds and how much the game does to expand the lore of the series, often in fun and creative ways! I think I'm among the few though whose favorite world might be Grunty Industries XD but I love them all. I'd also say Jet Force Gemini is pretty high up on my list, even with the tribal challenge, I love that game to pieces lol

    Banjo-Tooie is also my favorite Rare game on the N64. It's great to meet someone else who shares that taste. Sometimes I wish the game had a bit more content, given the huge difference between the two N64 games and the Xbox 360 release.
    Maybe they should have made it compatible with the Expansion Pak and Transfer Pak so it had a bit more to offer.
    Cheers and Many Thanks.
    My List is:
    1.-) Banjo-Tooie.
    2.-) Diddy Kong Racing.
    3.-) Banjo-Kazooie.
    4.-) Donkey Kong 64.
    5.-) Conker's Bad Fur Day.
    6.-) Perfect Dark.
    7.-) Mickey's Spedway USA.
    8.-) Goldeneye 007.
    9.-) Jet Force Gemini.
    10.-) Killer Instict Gold.
    11.-) Blast Corps.

    Tooie definitely brings to mind of making a sequel right off the bat of the original. It’s a unique experience that not everyone is a fan of but if you like the almost seamless continuation it is a blast. I get wanting more new mechanics, which comes but sometimes you just have to start or go back to basics

    The visuals in Conker being so darn good looking for the N64 is even more impressive when you remember the game didn't even need the expansion pak! Rare really knew how to compress their files for those 64MB carts, since it's also got some of the most voice acting for an N64 game to boot.

    Choosing my favourite N64 Rare game is like choosing one of my favourite children. I can't pick, because I love them all equally, even those that have objectively worse qualities than others. They all have something I love. It's truly amazing how one company almost single handedly created a golden era of gaming.

  • @BassEXE
    @BassEXE 12 днів тому

    That was a pretty good list. Honestly my list of favorites is the same as yours except for the top 4 which I would change slightly:
    1. Banjo Kazooie - Self-explanatory I don't think anything needs to be said about this game that hasn't already been said.
    2. DK64 - This game is my childhood, so many fond memories of it even with the BS moments.
    3. Diddy Kong Racing - This game is the best racer on the N64 without a question. There was so much content in this. Albeit the multiplayer wasn't that good and Mario Kart 64 had the superior multiplayer, but that single player adventure was just a masterpiece in full even if it was hair-pulling difficult (I'm looking at you Adventure Two and your silver coin BS...ugh...Greenwood Village will forever haunt me).
    4. Banjo Tooie - yes this game was larger and more ambitious than Kazooie, but that doesn't make it better. I found the level design worse overall minus witchy world which I consider one of the best levels in Kazooie and Tooie, Canary Mary exists along with broken thumbs and fingers (you lie if you say you like that XD) and the levels were much easier to get lost in since they were too big for no reason. It genuinely became frustrating to do full completion runs on this game because some of the worlds were like trying to find a needle in a haystack to find that 1 thing you missed (and this was back when I played this game without the internet/guide books as a kid). For these reasons I feel it doesn't get ranked as high as Kazooie does (even with Kazooie's flaw of death = lose all notes).
    Otherwise the rest of your list is the same opinion I have (although bottom of the list I would definitely put Jet Force Gemini as their worst game. That game was ridiculously hard and the control scheme did not age well at all). This was a great video and definitely wish you the best in the new year Jiggy. :)

    While I haven't played every RARE game, the ones I had were a ton of fun. For ranking RARE games, Jet Force Gemini being my favorite N64 game and also my #1 favorite game of all time to this day. DK64 follows in #2. Banjo-Kazooie & Tooie are tied in #3. GoldenEye is probably #4. While I have played a bit of Conker's Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark, I can't rank them as of yet.

    If you haven't done so already, I would love to hear your take on one of the most underrated games. In my opinion for the N64, I'd love to hear your thoughts and takes on quest 64. Like what improvements do you think that they could make to the game to make it more appealing to new audiences if it were ever released on the switch online, any new changes to the battle system or magic that you can learn, what are your takes on the music and the characters. I would love to hear all of it on quest 64 because it's personally one of my favorite games because it was one of the first RPGs that I was introduced to when I first got my n64 gaming system. 😊

    Ok, so I really only own and have played 6 Rare N64 titles (I know, I'm sorry), but my rank would be this.
    6. Jet Force Gemini. Great music, bosses, graphics but the gunplay could be better and that's double for the movement.
    5. Goldeneye 007. It's a classic and a genre-defining game but being the first of this new kind of FPS type of game, there are a lot of issues with it. Especially some really mediocre or just bad levels (I'm looking at you, train level)
    4. Diddy Kong Racing. It’s really good, yes. Great tracks, music, characters, etc. However, I do hold MK64 above it just because the controls are better in that game and, being much simpler than DKR, I feel like it has aged a lot better.
    3. Banjo-Tooie. I’ll just say this. Bigger is almost always better but make sure you include a map if it’s so big you don’t know where you are. Oh, and the lag. I hate the lag so much…
    2. Perfect Dark. Everything about Goldeneye 007 fixed now with voice acting, better guns, and better graphics.
    1. Banjo-Kazooie. My favourite game of all time. Best N64, 3D platformer and Rare title ever made. Hands down. The game is creativity and perfection mixed into one amazing dish served exclusively by Rareware. If I could have one complaint about this game, it would be the dreaded Engine Room in RBB and maybe the note collecting mechanic, but besides, it’s literally perfect.

    I remember backlash, this one level, with a whole line of buildings in a straight line was tough, and that was the level. I also liked how I went into space with some of the very late levels, I thought it was strange the game was compatible with the controller pack, creating 4 spare files.
    I remember the controls were easier to use in Diddy Kong Racing than Mario Kart 64.

    Good video! I actually never owned or played the last three on your list, but I did own and play the other eight. I am a huge platformer fan so Conker, Banjo, and Donkey Kong 64 were my favorites. Though, I still prefer Banjo-Kazooie out of all of them. The worlds felt the perfect size and I prefer the faster pacing. I liked Donkey Kong 64 and Tooie, too, but they felt a bit bogged down in terms of levels being just a bit too big to the point that taking on certain tasks/challenges became a bit of a slog to get through. Though, I will say Rare were masters at pushing the N64 to its limit. They were every bit as good as Nintendo themselves at developing great games (sometimes better, actually)!

    Great video!
    I rank Banjo Kazooie as not only fave N64 game by Rare, but also my fave N64 AND my equal fave video game of all time with SNES version Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy's Kong Quest!
    I've played so little of Jet Force Gemini and Blast Corps that to say I've played them is almost entirely dishonest! Never played Killer Instinct on SNES or it's Gold game on N64 myself.
    Played and loved all other games on the list you ranked in this video, they're all masterpieces!!!!!!
    I have similar, very similar rankings for everything in this video but personally love GoldenEye 007 more than Perfect Dark! Both are AWESOME retro classics. For me GoldenEye 007 is a little bit more fun than Perfect Dark and I dislike going for the highest Player Title in Combat Simulator mode Perfect 1 title which I've achieved 3times now, (2times on a PAL N64 and once on Rare Replay). Many would argue the point, "If you don't like it, don't do it), but as a hardcore gamer it's part of completing Perfect Dark 100% even if it only takes committment and opportunity NOT skill to reach Perfect 1 title.
    I would rank everything in this video very similar to you without being able to rank exactly. Fantastic catalog of retro classics made by the best game developer of all time, (in my opinion at least). Well when RareWare worked for Nintendo they surpassed Nintendo's legendary quality standard and they are my two fave game developers of all time, (so far, I doubt this will change but it's always possible).
    Love the video mate!!!🏆
    Edited comment, pointlessly pointing out, I remembered earlier today, I have played Killer Instinct Gold on N64 for maybe 20mins before in the past before making this comment. I forgot I have briefly but barely touched Killer Instinct Gold on N64.

      Due to Combat Simulator Player Titles, I'll always prefer GoldenEye 007 overall. Besides this, I actually prefer Perfect Dark's multiplayer over GoldenEye 007s this is because the Challenges in one player are fun and the Simulants, their personality types and difficulty settings rock!!! Not to mention all the Combat Simulator unlockables!!!
      In terms of one player story and other modes besides multiplayer, Perfect Dark and GoldenEye 007 are equal to me for their one player story missions, they're both superb!!!🏆

    Except on certain stages with silver coin challenges I would just drive backwards attacking the computer, or even on 1 level (Frosty Village) I would power up a rainbow balloon to level 3 and then wait in the water right near the finish line and drag the computer who was bothering my cousin the most into the depths of the river while laughing manically so my cousin could get the coins and win.

It's funny because I consider those three to be sibling games with Donkey Kong 64 being the awkward middle child 😆 Look at the structure of Tooie and DK64. You have five kongs in DK64, in Tooie, you have Banjo alone, Kazooie alone, Banjo Kazooie, Mumbo, and then transformation. Banjo Tooie just feels like a better structured DK64.
