I just unpacked my old Ninty tonight and set it up for the first time in almost twenty years, so my kids could see where my love of Nintendo came from. Tested it with DK64 and my old save files are still there! This thing could probably outlast an apocalypse. Such melancholy holding that controller again and sliding that Power switch up.
I'm exactly 1 day older than you.. just bought a n64 with a bunch of games to take a break from my ps5.. like stan with Heroin Hero lol. Brings back a lot of memories too 😎
Honestly dk64 is so underrated. The concept is perfect and as it is big, good, it should be. Nothing today could match my unlimited attention span for video game consoles like the Nintendo 64. Dk64 was the thing i needed for my parents not have to listen me complaining about how there aren't any battery left in my gameboy color. When that game came out, i was so excited because i loved dkc as a series.
I LOVE DK64. I hate how people to this very day unironically accuse it of singlehandedly ending the collectathon genre. Of course, anyone who actually believes collectathons aren't a thing anymore has clearly never played Assassins Creed.
How come I never see any channel mention Vigilante 8? I absolutely loved that game and had a killer time with it as a kid. The unique and individually distinct characters you could play, the level design, and seemingly endlessly fun combat just made that game a staple in my rotation as a kid when I had the n64. There are others of course that worth mentioning and I cannot even recall their names, but that game holds a special place in my childhood memories. That, Starfox, Banjo Kazooie, Mario 64 and Ocarina of time along with Mario kart and many more were just incredible games.
I agree actually, the jump to 3D was crazy to experience and Pokemon fever made it super hype. It's sort of a better experience but not a better console is ine way to put it imo
Have really fond memories of both, A Link to the Past blew my mind as an 8 year old when it launched, and Mario world is the best 2d Mario IMO, but when the N64 launched, it made everything feel bigger and more interesting. I would agree, as limited at the library was, the N64 probably had a larger impact on me than the SNES.
Me personally….. my favorite N64 game is DK64…. I remember being sick with chicken pox in 99, & I missed a chunk of school, my parents felt so bad for me, (couldn’t eat, & my fever was horrible that I had to keep getting woke up…. )That my step dad actually bought the game for me, to keep me occupied as this illness ran its course….. even got to go see Toy Story 2, around the same time……. DK64 really picked me up & I was so excited to get to play it.
OOT was FAR better than sm64. The rest of the list is great, but this is the only placement I strongly disagree on. Ocarina of Time had a much bigger world than the levels of sm64 combined, better bossfights, more atmosphere, a better story, and more people cite OOT as the game that shaped their childhood than sm64. Ocarina was also just a mechanically more complex game. SM64 is still fantastic though. This video is too :)
Interesting take. I personally think it's closer than you'd think. The controls alone are super innovative in SM64, but then again comparing the two is a bit like apples and oranges.
Did I like this video? Of course, but 2 games deserved genuine spots, in my opinion. Wave Race and dude...WCW/nWo Revenge(I think). Some of those wrestling games WERE THE SHIT!
Back in its time I thought SM64 was so overrated, but recently I got into the ROM hacks still breathing life into it today. The strength of that community and the diversity of content of SM64 hacks are testament to how good it was. The complex mechanics and incredibly high ceiling of mastering the controls were above any other platformers on the console, yet the level of entry was low enough you didn't need to master anything.
The N64 was my first console dating all the way back to Christmas 1996. I was only barely 5 years old, Super Mario 64 was my first game, and it was the one game I would occasionally return to even when we got new games. It's easily in my top five favorite video games of all time. I really enjoyed this video, it was a nice walk down nostalgia lane. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
No one asked but here's my top N64 games. And I think my list is the most research worth of all so...better get notes with this, you wont regret it. *Platform Games:* 1.-Zelda: Ocarina of Time (and Majora´s Mask) 2.-Conquer´s Bad Fur Day 3.-Magical Ninja Starring Goemón 4.-Paper Mario 5.-Chameleon Twist 2 6.-Rocket on Wheels 7.-Banjo Kazooie 8.-Donkey Kong 64 9.-Rayman 2 10.-Super Mario 64 *Racing Games:* 1.-Star Wars Episode 1 Racer 2.-Diddy Kong Racing 3.-F-Zero X 4.-Bettle Adventure Racing 5.-Top Gear Rally 6.-Hydro Thunder and Wave Race 7.-Mario Kart 8.-Stunt Racer 9.-Mickeys Speedway Usa 10.-Rally Challenge 2000 11.-MRC Championship N64 12.-San Francisco Rush 2049 13.-Rush 14.-1080 Snowboarding 15.-Road Rash N64 *Shooters:* 1.-Sin and Punishment 2.-Resident Evil 2 3.-Perfect Dark 4.-Golden Eye 5.-Win Back- Cover Operations 6.-Turok 2 7.-Pokemon Snap *Spaceships or human aircraft* 1.-Star Wars Rogue Squadron / Star Fox 64 2.-Star Wars Shadows of the Empire 3.-Star Wars Battle for Naboo 4.-Aerofighters Assault 5.-Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth *Fighting Games:* 1.-Smash Brothers 2.-Killer Instinct 3.-Mace of the Dark Age 4.-Clay Figther (Sculpture cut) *Top 16 for N64. Mixing all gendre games: (Still editing this part, not easy to choose from all the games that came out for the N64)* 1.-Zelda: Ocarina of Time (And Majora´s Mask) 2.-Sin and Punishment (Amazing game) 3.-Super Smash Bros. 4.-Star Fox and Magical Ninja Starring Goemon 5.-Star Wars Episode 1 Racer 6.-Resident Evil 2 7.-Conker's Bad Fur Day and Chameleon Twist 8.-Star Wars Rogue Squadron and Battle for Naboo 9.-Diddy Kong Racing, F-Zero X, Top Gear Rally 10.-Mario Kart 11.-Perfect Dark 12.-007 Golden Eye 13.-Star Wars Shadows of the Empire 14.-Pokemon Snap 15.-WinBack Cover Operations 16.-Bettle Adventure Racing, Hydro Thunder and Stunt Racer *Games that I still need to play:* 1.-Space Station 2.-Harvest Moon 3.-Snowboard Kids 2 Damn! I forgot the damn Mario Parties 1,2 and 3. I´ll do it later, but they´re great.
Very nice list. I agree with most of your choices and reasons. Though Majora's Mask is my favorite game of all time, so that'd be my number one. Also, a (what seems to be) relatively unknown game called Ogre Battle 64 would be in my top 10 as well
The Nintendo 64 will always be my favourite era of gaming, having 3 brothers surely helped with that. There's too many amazing games to make a top 20, really. Imagine if the N64 had a built-in timer logging how much we played it in the latter half of the 90s! The only one I'd put way higher than "honourable mentions" is Blast Corps. Rare absolutely dominated this era.
Just use control style 1.2, which puts forward/back/strafe on the C-buttons and look on the control stick, similar to keyboard WASD+mouse look on PC. Much better than the default control scheme.
I agree with Mario 64 Ridiculously good. It is still fun and it , Ocarina of time and Goldeneye are all probably responsible for all modern gaming. Mario 64 is more than just nostalgia. If I start playing even now I get hooked. Mario 64 took the ideas of what came before and transformed them into a huge activity packed behemoth.
Paper Mario does hold up VERY well. It's a very polished and well made light RPG, and I think a lot of younger people would still enjoy it today, whereas a lot of these other games are just not going to be appreciated in the context of modern gaming in 2024.
I think Kirby's Dream Course for the SNES could be considered Kirby's true first venture into 3D. It's also my favorite golf game over Mario Golf even.
@KurodaKyousuke Dude, I'm 38 & I missed out on this gem as a kid & just recently played it on a hacked SNES mini. There's a learning curve (which I don't mind) & each hole is different, & you must adjust power, angle, spin etc. Also, I got a hole in one early on which hooked me. A truly unique, & wonderfully executed SNES titles IMO. Anyways, Thanks for the response.
Also, this generation of gamers always dogs on the N64 because the graphics and controls are out dated but they don't realize that most of the games that were designed for the console are a lot of fun, addicting (that can be good and bad lol) and have a lot of replayability. AND an honorable mention is that we dont have to set there and wait HOURS for the game to install AND THEN download AND then wait for the system to reset itself for an update just to play the a stupid game. Plus, id rather have physical media/cartridges
I got a used N64 sometime around 98 along with Ocarina of Time. I had a couple friends with one though so I had plenty of Goldeneye XP. You didnt have a proper childhood if you didnt get blisters on you palms trying to win the raft minigame in Mario Party.
Only Mario Party 2 made it into both Wii & Wii U Virtual Console because Mario Party 1 cause palm injury which is why there are both warnings on Nintendo Switch Online and Mario Party Superstars. Sad that Mario Party 3 was never released on Wii & Wii U virtual console.
Making me seriously consider getting a modded N64 with an Everdrive 64 now 😅 though I blame how awful F-Zero X is on Switch. The only thing on this list I disagree with really is that Wave Race 64 has no spot in the top 20. But that's because its in my top 20 of any platform. XD This list has been a great trip down memory lane for a Dreamcast fanboy ^_^ though I was a teenager when I got an N64. The only real big hitting N64 game I can think that is absent is Beetle Adventure Racing. But your list is solid enough to understand its exclusion. Oh and Space Station Silicon Valley! Maybe an N64 mini isn't so impossible after all XD
No Hybrid Heaven? Boooooooo! 😢 Yeah, it was kinda linear and the story wasn't the best ever..... but come on the turn based hand to hand combat was pretty frickin unique and awesome. Who doesn't like thoughtfully suplexing alien clones? 😂
I appreciate your list. I have never really understood the love for Super Mario 64. I started on the Atari 2600 at 4 years old and worked my way up through NES, SNES, then N64. When I got the 64 and finally popped in Mario, I didn't like how Mario felt to control & I have never been able to get the hang of it since. I adore other 3D platformers, but Mario's momentum-based movement just felt really bad in 3D to me. Don't get me started on his behavior regarding slopes or ice physics. He just feels slow, cumbersome, and at the constant mercy of the controls and camera. I think as a kid I really just wanted more sidescrolling levels to play through after being high on Super Mario World. I would have been happy with a 2.5D sidescroller or even something like Crash Bandicoot. My PS1 definitely got a lot more love in that era.
Mario 64 is definitely overrated and feels stiff, but it's still fun if you can get over the controls. Mario Sunshine is the vastly superior Mario game.
@@VulpasI would say it’s the camera more than it’s the controls. I like the controls, and when I played Mario odyssey I was able to pretty well muscle memory all the jumps and maneuvers. Obviously the controls function a bit tighter on odyssey but to call them stiff on the n64, I don’t believe so, maybe just a smidge slower because of frame rate.
I was 10 in 1998 as well and I got the exact same gift for Christmas. Atomic purple N64 bundle and Mario 64
The video of that kid on Christmas is so freaking hilarious.
I just unpacked my old Ninty tonight and set it up for the first time in almost twenty years, so my kids could see where my love of Nintendo came from. Tested it with DK64 and my old save files are still there! This thing could probably outlast an apocalypse.
Such melancholy holding that controller again and sliding that Power switch up.
I can't wait until my girls are older and I can experience that. Sharing my childhood with them through these wonderful classic games...
I'm exactly 1 day older than you.. just bought a n64 with a bunch of games to take a break from my ps5.. like stan with Heroin Hero lol. Brings back a lot of memories too 😎
Honestly dk64 is so underrated. The concept is perfect and as it is big, good, it should be. Nothing today could match my unlimited attention span for video game consoles like the Nintendo 64. Dk64 was the thing i needed for my parents not have to listen me complaining about how there aren't any battery left in my gameboy color. When that game came out, i was so excited because i loved dkc as a series.
I LOVE DK64. I hate how people to this very day unironically accuse it of singlehandedly ending the collectathon genre. Of course, anyone who actually believes collectathons aren't a thing anymore has clearly never played Assassins Creed.
I still remember when I purchased my N64 at Kmart. What a system!
Kmart! Wow!
As someone who is about 7 years younger than you, the N64 gave me some of my first gaming experiences ever.
How come I never see any channel mention Vigilante 8? I absolutely loved that game and had a killer time with it as a kid. The unique and individually distinct characters you could play, the level design, and seemingly endlessly fun combat just made that game a staple in my rotation as a kid when I had the n64. There are others of course that worth mentioning and I cannot even recall their names, but that game holds a special place in my childhood memories. That, Starfox, Banjo Kazooie, Mario 64 and Ocarina of time along with Mario kart and many more were just incredible games.
Man having the 64 was cool. When I got the GameCube for Christmas in 2001 I was happy
Probably unpopular opinion but I actually prefer the Nintendo 64 to the Super Nintendo, it's easily my favorite console ever.
I agree actually, the jump to 3D was crazy to experience and Pokemon fever made it super hype. It's sort of a better experience but not a better console is ine way to put it imo
Seems like the right opinion if you ask me. Source?: Myself and avid N64 enthusiast whos favorite console is the potato machine itself
Some people have terrible taste and like Rhubarb pie iiwii
Have really fond memories of both, A Link to the Past blew my mind as an 8 year old when it launched, and Mario world is the best 2d Mario IMO, but when the N64 launched, it made everything feel bigger and more interesting.
I would agree, as limited at the library was, the N64 probably had a larger impact on me than the SNES.
Me Too! Nintendo 64 Has Been My Most Favorite Gaming Console Since My Childhood. It Brings Back So Many Good Memories. 👍
You can't talk about the best N64 games and not at least give a nod to WCW/NWO Revenge or WWF No Mercy...........
What a shame ! Revenge was the best wrestling game as soon as it came out.. then no mercy just made it better.
Me personally….. my favorite N64 game is DK64…. I remember being sick with chicken pox in 99, & I missed a chunk of school, my parents felt so bad for me, (couldn’t eat, & my fever was horrible that I had to keep getting woke up…. )That my step dad actually bought the game for me, to keep me occupied as this illness ran its course….. even got to go see Toy Story 2, around the same time……. DK64 really picked me up & I was so excited to get to play it.
Awesome video mate!
My list is pretty similar but way differently ordered. Great video!
5. Pokémon Stadium 2
4. Doom 64
3. WWF No Mercy
2. Super Mario 64
1. Zelda OOT
OOT was FAR better than sm64. The rest of the list is great, but this is the only placement I strongly disagree on.
Ocarina of Time had a much bigger world than the levels of sm64 combined, better bossfights, more atmosphere, a better story, and more people cite OOT as the game that shaped their childhood than sm64. Ocarina was also just a mechanically more complex game. SM64 is still fantastic though. This video is too :)

@@KurodaKyousuke Controls I agree OOT didn't age so well, while sm64's controls are the reason it has a huge speedrunning audience
I'm inclined to agree OoT > SM64, but it's close.
Did I like this video? Of course, but 2 games deserved genuine spots, in my opinion. Wave Race and dude...WCW/nWo Revenge(I think). Some of those wrestling games WERE THE SHIT!
Also wrestling was at its absolute peak at that time. Revenge, wm 2000 & no mercy were all groundbreaking
0:18 Those were the days. Do kids still get this excited about consoles?
Kids these days for the most part think that they deserve everything. The media is running the show.
Not to that degree. That ended with that generation, maybe Dreamcast was the last system to get people that hyped.
The n64 was loaded with great games. Mario Tennis totally changed My opinion on sports based games. What a blast
I totally agree! (Also, hi Jake! 👋)
Back in its time I thought SM64 was so overrated, but recently I got into the ROM hacks still breathing life into it today. The strength of that community and the diversity of content of SM64 hacks are testament to how good it was. The complex mechanics and incredibly high ceiling of mastering the controls were above any other platformers on the console, yet the level of entry was low enough you didn't need to master anything.
Perfect dark is IMO just better than goldeneye in every way but usually looked over due to late release in n64 lifespan and goldeneye coming first
Goldeneye MarioKart Ocarina No Mercy all incredible even by today’s standards
Knockout kings and both WCW wrestling games for N64 should be on this list
The N64 was my first console dating all the way back to Christmas 1996. I was only barely 5 years old, Super Mario 64 was my first game, and it was the one game I would occasionally return to even when we got new games.

Placing Golden Eye in 7th place is a crime
Great video! My favorite game will always be SM64, Ocarina of TIme, and Mario Tennis! I like GoldenEye 007 but the controls didn't age well
Just use control style 1.2, which puts forward/back/strafe on the C-buttons and look on the control stick, similar to keyboard WASD+mouse look on PC. Much better than the default control scheme.
ok ty@@adamnoakes2550
How could you not have goldeneye on that list unless I missed it
It was number 007.
WCW NWO Revenge and Rogue Squadron should be on any top 20 N64 games list
1080 snowboarding deserved a mention..

Thank you!
I agree with Mario 64
Ridiculously good.
It is still fun and it , Ocarina of time and Goldeneye are all probably responsible for all modern gaming.
Mario 64 is more than just nostalgia. If I start playing even now I get hooked.
Mario 64 took the ideas of what came before and transformed them into a huge activity packed behemoth.
This was a very beautiful video 🥲
Thank you!!
super mario rpg legend of the 7 stars
Good games, but you're missing an amazing one...
Gauntlet: Legends.
A shame we aren't getting a n64 mini... seems Nintendo decided to keep its games on the switch with their online service with poor emulation.
How did you make the cover art for the video?
I seriously would put donkey kong 64 at number one. It’s so underrated I find it infuriating >:(
Great list but how can you not have one of the amazing wrestling games that the n64 offered?
I agree 100%

I'm a bit surprised Donkey Kong 64 didn't make the list.
You can land on the 100 star present but boswer just runs away lol
Great video!
I liked Banjo-Tooie more than Kazooie
Haha, on my third copy of Mario golf. Love that game!
I still play the n64 in all its blurry glory lol
Paper Mario does hold up VERY well. It's a very polished and well made light RPG, and I think a lot of younger people would still enjoy it today, whereas a lot of these other games are just not going to be appreciated in the context of modern gaming in 2024.
I think Kirby's Dream Course for the SNES could be considered Kirby's true first venture into 3D. It's also my favorite golf game over Mario Golf even.
It's brilliant and probably the ultimate 2 player game..
@KurodaKyousuke Dude, I'm 38 & I missed out on this gem as a kid & just recently played it on a hacked SNES mini. There's a learning curve (which I don't mind) & each hole is different, & you must adjust power, angle, spin etc. Also, I got a hole in one early on which hooked me.

Very good games!
Also, this generation of gamers always dogs on the N64 because the graphics and controls are out dated but they don't realize that most of the games that were designed for the console are a lot of fun, addicting (that can be good and bad lol) and have a lot of replayability. AND an honorable mention is that we dont have to set there and wait HOURS for the game to install AND THEN download AND then wait for the system to reset itself for an update just to play the a stupid game.

What in the actual heck? OOT #2? Nope nope nope.
F0x is no better than Diddy Kong racing my opinion
N64 🎉
I got a used N64 sometime around 98 along with Ocarina of Time. I had a couple friends with one though so I had plenty of Goldeneye XP. You didnt have a proper childhood if you didnt get blisters on you palms trying to win the raft minigame in Mario Party.
i use a ps2 controller to usb cable for the n64 emulation and it gives SOOO much more accuracy and "grip"!!!
Soon as I looked at the list and saw you had stuff like pokemon snap but not Star Wars rouge squadron video became an auto skip
Rogue squadron was one of my favorites, but I’m not sure how well it hold us these days… might have to dust off my 64
Winback, 1080 Snowboarding, Mission Impossible. How were these gems missed? Even in the "honourable mentions"???
Winback now that was an amazing game
Nintendo Power baby!!!!!
Only Mario Party 2 made it into both Wii & Wii U Virtual Console because Mario Party 1 cause palm injury which is why there are both warnings on Nintendo Switch Online and Mario Party Superstars. Sad that Mario Party 3 was never released on Wii & Wii U virtual console.

The "story" mode is basically classic mode.

Here for the Paper Mario love.
You came to the right place!
Would be great without the commentary 🫤
One Nintendo 64 game that's not great anymore is Super Mario 64.
Donkey Kong 64 didn't make the cut😂😂😂
I appreciate your list. I have never really understood the love for Super Mario 64. I started on the Atari 2600 at 4 years old and worked my way up through NES, SNES, then N64.
