The first time I saw Mario 64 was in my early 20's, my friend rented the console from Blockbuster and had everybody over to his apartment for a smokefest. I walked in on the part where Mario is swimming around in that room with no gravity... blown away by the 3D graphics. We all had Nintendo 64's within a week.
Pretty much same story here. My buddy rented the Japanese version before the NA version was out, and a bunch of us stayed up all night, simply amazed by it.
@@bepohal Garbage game. Mario 64, both Banjo games, Bad Fur Day, Space Station Silicon Valley, and Rocket Robot on wheels are all better platformers. DK 64 is like Gex 64. It even has a bug they couldn't fix. Edit: I forgot Rayman 2. Also superior

Great review. I have 13 of those classics, and still enjoying them in 2023. 1080 Snowboarding has a great implementation of the Rumble Pak which really lets you feel the ice and racing surface.
My personal top 13 13: Star Fox 64 12: Shadows of The Empire 11: Star Wars Pod Racer 10: Banjo Kazooie 9: Toy Story 2 8: Earthworm Jim 7: Super Smash Bros 6: The World is Not Enough 5: Mission Impossible 4: Goldeneye 3: Majoras Mask 2: Donkey Kong 64 1: Ocarina of Time
Mario Kart N64 is clearly the best racing game on the 64. The Way the narrator has to repeatedly say how Diddy racing is better proves it's not, bc if it was, that wouldn't have to be repeated. Otherwise, decent list.
@@Nutty151 I remember it being an early game, but didn't know it was one of the launch titles. I have very fond memories of that game. Snapping pictures of the water monster. Shooting a missile at Mario Mt Rushmore to turn it into Wario. And having to beat that mechman with missiles from the gyrocopter. The canon and target segments along with the jumble hopper were sweet too.
@@tylerwilliams6022 True. I didn't even know there had been a SNES version until many years later! Unfortunately, this series along with F-Zero has been laying dormant for many years now.
@@Nutty151 Same here, never played the SNES version though. I imagine it wouldn't compare favorably to the N64 version. About the only way I can play any kind of downgraded game is if I have Nostalgia tied to it. And even that is getting to be a harder sell when venturing into the games of yesteryear.
I love this game. I remember the first time playing it in the 90s. I was completely shocked when required to complete the game a third time and go for platinum. The platinum times were so much harder than the gold times. I thought it was going to be impossible. It took a while but what an experience and moment of pride when it was finally completed.
@lees3692 there was 3 games that stood out to me. I have a horrible memory. I don't know if I made it that far, but I damn sure am considering getting creative and playing this game again. (Pilotwings and Starfox)
Super Mario 64 is the rightful #1. It defined how 3D adventure/platforming games would look and play from that point onward, plus it was an incredible technical demonstration of what the N64 hardware could achieve in 3D graphics. It has had a lasting impact on the gaming industry. I remember how it blew everybody’s minds when Super Mario 64 came out back then.
Definitely. Mario64 was the first video game i ever witnessed. I was like five, when my family was in another city for an invitation of familyfriends, who also had children. They had a N64 and played Super Mario. Me and my sister were instantly blown away and pestered our parents for our own N64 for the next christmas until they caved and said yes. I spent countless hours playing Super Mario. Good memories
I know you said you wanted to limit games from the same franchise but how can you not have Zelda MM in the list? Super Mario 64 is certainly worthy of the top spot but surely Zelda OOT is hands down the best game followed by MM and then Mario 64. Omitting Mario Kart 64 was a mistake. Also I would have dropped 1080 and Blast Corps in favour of Jet Force Gemini and DK64.
My faves in no particular order: Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, Conkers bad fur day, DK 64, Goldeneye, Perfect dark, Mario 64, MK4, killer instinct gold, Army men sarge's heroes, turok 2, dk racing, smash bros, mk trilogies, mk mythologies sub zero, pokemon stadium, MegaMan 64, podracer, shadows of the empire, and clayfighter 63 1/3
Conker's Bad Fur Day was one of best games I ever played I was extremely disappointed when it came out on Xbox and I thought it was going to be like it's original with just better graphics and some added gameplay but it was nothing like the original. The PVP in the original was extremely fun.
Ahh, the N64... Small library, but a damn good one. Collecting games for it was so much fun! I still get excited seeing games I already own at retro stores or thrift shops.
@@swarlesbarkely2449 Especially if you knew how to control the vehicles in F Zero X, like shown in the speedruns. Awesome game, though GE is also great.

Can we talk about the fact that DIDDY KONG RACING was 3rd, and Mario kart wasn’t even on the list! Thx for putting WWF no mercy on the list, it’s one of my favourite games ever, best wrestling game.
The SNES and N64 were my entire childhood. My personal favorites were Star Fox 64, Pokémon Snap, Diddy Kong Racing, and Ducks Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck.
There might not even be 20, but here goes- Mario 64, starfox 64, WWF no mercy, wcw revenge, killer instinct gold, mystical ninja, Mario kart, Mario party, Zelda ocarina, Zelda Majora's, GoldenEye, Castlevania legacy of darkness, turok 2, doom 64, smash bros, wcw world tour, cruis'n USA, wave race 64, Castlevania, paper Mario.
Great list- throw in Mario Kart, Pilotwings, Doom 64, Quake 2, Beetle Adventure Racing, Resident Evil 2 & Ridge Racer & you'd have a great N64 Classic. Would probably be $300 though
Yo. I got Diddy Kong Racing for Christmas, when it released. Going back through all the levels for those GD silver coins nearly broke me. You didn't mention 007s music, I still have those jams in my head until today. I'm guessing O of Time is gonna be number 1, (I'm at #3 now) But honestly I'd be hard pressed to choose between Dood's Mask, and OG. Hope you did one for Gamecube.
No-one ever has Micro Machines on these lists but god damn that was a brilliant tabletop racer, not as good as F-Zero or Mario Kart for sure but up there with 1080 and Wave Race for me. In fact I’m gonna go dig out my copy right now……

The N64 is extremely underrated and is my second favourite Nintendo system with Super Mario 64, Goldeneye and WWF No Mercy being my absolute favourite gamess on the N64.
I don't know man, I don't feel like it's fair to lump Mario Kart in as a general "Mario game"...it's its own series and deserved its own entry IMO. However you at least included No Mercy...I feel like a lot of these lists forget that wrestling games back then were something even non fans played, some of which were even talked about as GOTY contenders, No Mercy belongs in a top 20 for sure (top 10 for me).
As someone who fully completed Diddky Kong Racing's story mode... It had so much more to it than Mario Kart, and it's a damn shame we never got a sequel (DS doesn't count). Also spent an ungodly amount of hours replaying Rogue Squadron.
kids today will never understand how mind-blowing it was to play through the SNES era and then be hit with 3D models for the first time with the N64. it was like being transported to the future
Loved Conker's BFD back in the day, but even then I don't think the gameplay was that great. It was a bit flimsy by Rare standards, but looked great with amazing animation and was genuinely hilarious. Great to see Silicon Valley get a mention!
good list but i am wondering why Donkey Kong 64 wasn't on there? seriously better than a few of those and the DK Rap is still iconic enough it even made it in the new Mario movie!
A really solid list. Only games I wouldn´t see on a list like this are Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Pokémon Stadium 2, Super Smash Bros (because the series in my books became really good with Melee and probably Sin and Punishment). I would rather put games like Castlevania LoD, Resident Evil 2, Body Harvest, International Superstar Soccer, Operation Winback, Rayman 2, Pilotwings, Mischief Makers, Jet Force Gemini, Bomberman 64, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Ogre Battle 64, Star Craft or Donkey Kong 64 on this list.
Great list! Some contenders I would add: MegaMan Legends, Donkey Kong 64, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Mischief Makers. I saw someone also comment about Shadows of the Empire, and no, that game is terrible
I don't know what you're talkin about man that Shadows the Empire Star Wars game is a lot of fun I've been played in over twenty years now but I still remember the level as a kid where you could trick the guys into following you into the Chewbacca cages room and then open the Chewbacca's cage and run out Not only would they kill the enemies but the Chewbacca's would kill each other the winner would come after you
Well, at tje ripe age of 50yo, I was introduced to Nintendo with the NES... My life changed with that console... The SNES moved many miles and gave us great games too... But it was the N64 that did it for me... My friends would diss on it (prefering their Sony Playstation's) but they missed out on such great games like Rogue Squadron, Banjo Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Eternal Darkness, 1080 Snowboading, Wave Race 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini, Goldeneye, Silicon Valley, Body Harvest and so many more great games which changed the traditional "Games of old" with new ideas like Glover and Blast Corp's... Do we remember Glover? Sure we do!... Do we remember Body Harvest? Yeah we do, for the most part (It was a great game which did not do too well in the west as I remember)... Tell me when in modern times have we had such innovations as Glover and Silicon Valley? Or even Body Harvest?... We have not... The N64 did one thing right in my eyes... It created Diversity in Games, it did something different, it made Dev's try to do something so very different... And that is why we have such great games like Glover, Silicon Valley and Body Harvest... New Tech= New Idea's... I wish triple A companies would take that leap, and go into the unknown... But, it is the Indi Dev's who are doing this these days... In Indie Dev's we must trust to give us such new and dynamic games to come, crafted from the fires of the old Triple A Dev's of old... RIP the old Dev's... You had your time, and it was good...
Goldeneye is perfect to me. The graphics are crisp, controls are good. I don't understand when people complain about the graphics or controls. It's ages beautifully Imo and deserves to be much higher on the list. It's arguably the best on the system.
Once again well made video no doubts! Keep it like that! However, even though I agree Diddy Kong racing is a great game, nothing tops Mario kart 64 in terms of fun! Not having this game on the list is a big miss (briefly mentioning it at the beginning isn’t enough I reckon). Honorable mention goes to Jet Force Gemini a really good game I played for hours.
This was fun, i am just binging your videos , ha! I still love Shadows of the Empire, as a launch title, the Hoth opening level was magical. NHL games really got a massive boost with N64 but i see you are largely sticking away from sports.
Love the list. Let's add Blast Corps, Clayfighters 63 and a 3rd, Mace The Dark Age, Cruisn' USA and Cruisn' World all three other THQ wrestling games not mentioned, Superman, Excitebike, all Mario Parties, Mario Golf and Mario Tennis, San Francisco Rush, Star Wars Shadows of The Empire.
"Nintendo basically remade Star Fox 64 nine times" (shows list of games that includes the original Star Fox). Was someone not aware that the original Star Fox game out BEFORE Star Fox 64?
I love the N64, but not sure it's more influential than the Atari/NES/SNES/Genesis/PS1. They are all very important, though I'd have to give the nod to the NES.
Paper Mario below Waverace is criminal. Besides I’d argue that Mario Kart is better than Waverace, but it don’t make this list? I suppose we’re all entitled to our opinions lol

Conkers bad fur day is an unbelievably unique gruesome game it has absolutely everything, its in the top 10 maybe top 5
The Xbox version is definitely the definitive version of this game. As much as I love the N64 and the original.

*And that´s it 😎I´m still reviewing some games that I didn´t add to this list, but will do*
I’ve long said that the 90s was to video games what the 60s was for music. Glad I got to experience one of them.
Literally the best console ever. Games were so replayable
Blast Corps is on the list 😁 such an underrated game yay!!!
Does anyone know the name of the game at 0:56 ?
Nightmare Creatures!
Ocarina of time should of taken 1st place
100% correct the best ever Zelda game by a mile
Yes, it should. There was no game up until ocarina that caught my imagination so much.
By a mile, there’s no game on any console that beats Ocarina for me
Easy
“should of” makes absolutely no sense
Can we talk about the fact that DIDDY KONG RACING was 3rd, and Mario kart wasn’t even on the list! Thx for putting WWF no mercy on the list, it’s one of my favourite games ever, best wrestling game.
The SNES and N64 were my entire childhood. My personal favorites were Star Fox 64, Pokémon Snap, Diddy Kong Racing, and Ducks Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck.
There might not even be 20, but here goes-
Mario 64, starfox 64, WWF no mercy, wcw revenge, killer instinct gold, mystical ninja, Mario kart, Mario party, Zelda ocarina, Zelda Majora's, GoldenEye, Castlevania legacy of darkness, turok 2, doom 64, smash bros, wcw world tour, cruis'n USA, wave race 64, Castlevania, paper Mario.
RE2
Paper mario my first n64 game
Great list- throw in Mario Kart, Pilotwings, Doom 64, Quake 2, Beetle Adventure Racing, Resident Evil 2 & Ridge Racer & you'd have a great N64 Classic. Would probably be $300 though
Diddy Kong over Mario kart? No way
No love for Forsaken 64…that game is a hidden gem, heavily slept on
Yo. I got Diddy Kong Racing for Christmas, when it released. Going back through all the levels for those GD silver coins nearly broke me. You didn't mention 007s music, I still have those jams in my head until today. I'm guessing O of Time is gonna be number 1, (I'm at #3 now) But honestly I'd be hard pressed to choose between Dood's Mask, and OG. Hope you did one for Gamecube.
No-one ever has Micro Machines on these lists but god damn that was a brilliant tabletop racer, not as good as F-Zero or Mario Kart for sure but up there with 1080 and Wave Race for me. In fact I’m gonna go dig out my copy right now……
Oh and I find the Vulture cute! ^_^ I'm also a goose lover. Birds rule!
Star Wars Episode One Podracing was my fav racing game by far.

Rayman 2 is the best 3d platformer of that gen imo
@@clemcadiddlehopper5706 man idk i don't like it that much
The N64 is extremely underrated and is my second favourite Nintendo system with Super Mario 64, Goldeneye and WWF No Mercy being my absolute favourite gamess on the N64.
I don't know man, I don't feel like it's fair to lump Mario Kart in as a general "Mario game"...it's its own series and deserved its own entry IMO. However you at least included No Mercy...I feel like a lot of these lists forget that wrestling games back then were something even non fans played, some of which were even talked about as GOTY contenders, No Mercy belongs in a top 20 for sure (top 10 for me).
Thanks for this awesome journey back in time! Did you play all of them? and would you still very much enjoy them if playing them today?
I never knew about Diddy Kong Racing. Gonna ckeck it out. Thnx.
check out snowboard kids
As someone who fully completed Diddky Kong Racing's story mode... It had so much more to it than Mario Kart, and it's a damn shame we never got a sequel (DS doesn't count). Also spent an ungodly amount of hours replaying Rogue Squadron.
Emulation my friend
@@UA-camDictatorship2024 can I emulate a sequel?
@@JoshTT2 oh my bad, lol
Ocarina of time was hands down better than Mario for the #1 spot. Also, again, Jet Force Gemini getting no love. Easily top 5. 😩😩
kids today will never understand how mind-blowing it was to play through the SNES era and then be hit with 3D models for the first time with the N64. it was like being transported to the future
Loved Conker's BFD back in the day, but even then I don't think the gameplay was that great. It was a bit flimsy by Rare standards, but looked great with amazing animation and was genuinely hilarious.
Great to see Silicon Valley get a mention!
good list but i am wondering why Donkey Kong 64 wasn't on there? seriously better than a few of those and the DK Rap is still iconic enough it even made it in the new Mario movie!
The fact that Ogre Battle isn't on this list is wild
i was upset you put smash so low... but you more than made up for it by placing Diddy Kong racing in its rightful spot... so so good
A really solid list.
Only games I wouldn´t see on a list like this are Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Pokémon Stadium 2, Super Smash Bros (because the series in my books became really good with Melee and probably Sin and Punishment).
I would rather put games like Castlevania LoD, Resident Evil 2, Body Harvest, International Superstar Soccer, Operation Winback, Rayman 2, Pilotwings, Mischief Makers, Jet Force Gemini, Bomberman 64, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Ogre Battle 64, Star Craft or Donkey Kong 64 on this list.
Great list! Some contenders I would add: MegaMan Legends, Donkey Kong 64, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Mischief Makers. I saw someone also comment about Shadows of the Empire, and no, that game is terrible
I don't know what you're talkin about man that Shadows the Empire Star Wars game is a lot of fun I've been played in over twenty years now but I still remember the level as a kid where you could trick the guys into following you into the Chewbacca cages room and then open the Chewbacca's cage and run out Not only would they kill the enemies but the Chewbacca's would kill each other the winner would come after you
@@hastysardine1 I had good memories of it too but then played it recently, and let's just say...the memories will always be there, haha
Goldeneye, No Mercy and or Revenge, Mario 64 got played the most amongst me and my friends
Well, at tje ripe age of 50yo, I was introduced to Nintendo with the NES... My life changed with that console...
The SNES moved many miles and gave us great games too...
But it was the N64 that did it for me... My friends would diss on it (prefering their Sony Playstation's) but they missed out on such great games like Rogue Squadron, Banjo Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Eternal Darkness, 1080 Snowboading, Wave Race 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini, Goldeneye, Silicon Valley, Body Harvest and so many more great games which changed the traditional "Games of old" with new ideas like Glover and Blast Corp's... Do we remember Glover? Sure we do!... Do we remember Body Harvest? Yeah we do, for the most part (It was a great game which did not do too well in the west as I remember)...
Tell me when in modern times have we had such innovations as Glover and Silicon Valley? Or even Body Harvest?... We have not...
The N64 did one thing right in my eyes... It created Diversity in Games, it did something different, it made Dev's try to do something so very different... And that is why we have such great games like Glover, Silicon Valley and Body Harvest... New Tech= New Idea's... I wish triple A companies would take that leap, and go into the unknown... But, it is the Indi Dev's who are doing this these days...
In Indie Dev's we must trust to give us such new and dynamic games to come, crafted from the fires of the old Triple A Dev's of old... RIP the old Dev's... You had your time, and it was good...
Goldeneye is perfect to me. The graphics are crisp, controls are good. I don't understand when people complain about the graphics or controls. It's ages beautifully Imo and deserves to be much higher on the list. It's arguably the best on the system.
Conker’s Bad Fur Day will always be my #1
Bro that game is traumatizing af wtf...........
Once again well made video no doubts! Keep it like that! However, even though I agree Diddy Kong racing is a great game, nothing tops Mario kart 64 in terms of fun! Not having this game on the list is a big miss (briefly mentioning it at the beginning isn’t enough I reckon). Honorable mention goes to Jet Force Gemini a really good game I played for hours.
Need-
Battle Tanx World Conquest. WAY ahead of its time
Also. Road Rash 64. Amazing racing game
Happy to see StarFox64 here.
BANJO KAZOOIE!!!!! I been trying to figure out the name of this game from an hour of gameplay I had since I was little! So happy to find this again
Brilliant game 😊
This was fun, i am just binging your videos , ha! I still love Shadows of the Empire, as a launch title, the Hoth opening level was magical. NHL games really got a massive boost with N64 but i see you are largely sticking away from sports.
Love seeing Diddykong racing getting respect
Aero gauge deserved a spot 16-20
You were correct about a lot of them, if there is a way to squeeze in MK4 and Fighters Destiny and Majura's Mask, the your list would be perfect!!!!
Hell yeah. Fighters Destiny is one of the most underrated games on the system along with Quake, Forsaken, and Starcraft.
Fighters Destiny was so so good
Love the list. Let's add Blast Corps, Clayfighters 63 and a 3rd, Mace The Dark Age, Cruisn' USA and Cruisn' World all three other THQ wrestling games not mentioned, Superman, Excitebike, all Mario Parties, Mario Golf and Mario Tennis, San Francisco Rush, Star Wars Shadows of The Empire.
And Mortal Kombat Mythologies
My personal 2 favorites are Megaman 64 and Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon
They need to bring back wave race. Such an underrated game!
Finally someone that acknowledges how much better Perfect Dark was!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Conker was amazing and doesn't get NEARLY enough love!
Snowboard Kids 1 & 2 for real OGs.
I never see anyone put san francisco rush 2 on their list and I think it is underrated.
"Nintendo basically remade Star Fox 64 nine times" (shows list of games that includes the original Star Fox). Was someone not aware that the original Star Fox game out BEFORE Star Fox 64?
nice mgs background music right at the end
Turok 2 blew all these games away, it should be number 1 due to technical marvel it was at the time
Mystical ninja starring goeman probably the best n64 game i ever played, i used to love it its so under rated
People dump on the N64
But it’s undeniably the most influencial console of all time
I love the N64, but not sure it's more influential than the Atari/NES/SNES/Genesis/PS1. They are all very important, though I'd have to give the nod to the NES.
Paper Mario below Waverace is criminal. Besides I’d argue that Mario Kart is better than Waverace, but it don’t make this list? I suppose we’re all entitled to our opinions lol
What why no jet force jeminie
Imagine making a top N64 Games list and including Diddy Kong Racing, but not Mario Kart 64.
Solid list! S
Diddy Kong Racing is a much better game than Mario Kart IMO.
