Dobner has assumed control Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 So for the past month my roommates and I have been having hardcore Super Smash Bros 64 battles on the N64. It's amazing how N64 games such as SSB still have the ability to keep you coming back. How many of you still break out the N64 and what are your top 3 games to play? Mine are: 1. Mario Kart 64 2. Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3. SSB 64 Of course I could name more but those are the top 3 for me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I pulled out my N64 earlier this month, I realized how Mario Parties 2 and 3 are still the best in the series by far. Things were very well balanced between items and star locations. Anyways, in no particular order: Star Fox 64 Super Mario 64 (I've lost count of how many times I've gotten 100% on the N64 version via console or emulator and Nintendo DS remake) Super Smash Bros. (I LOVE the series) I beat Ocarina on the 3DS, amazing game, but I'll probably never play it again. Come to think of it, I've NEVER played a single zelda game twice (and I've owned a lot of them).

CMWriter Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Aaahh I should totally bring my N64 back here when I go home for Labor Day, yes?! Love love love my N64. I didn't bring it 'cause I had enough junk coming in but I kind of miss it. :C We have a PS2 (doubling as a DVD player) but it's not the saaaaame. I like to play Super Smash Bros. on it because that game never, never gets old. I also have this arcade games thing for it. And I want to go out and find Banjo Kazooie! :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Whompus Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I found a N64 at a garage sale a couple years ago for $20. Games included were: Ocarina of Time Mario Kart 64 Turok DK country 64 Pokemon Snap and many more. It was a great summer! The system still works, and I'm still looking for games to purchase!

I always played : Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, GOLDENEYE , Mortal Kombat 4, Turok 2, Crusin' USA, Wave Race, Duke Nukem 64...and many others. Makes me wish I still had mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobner has assumed control Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 I've had my N64 since 1996 and it still works like a charm. I love it. I am with the rest of you on the games you like. -Super Mario 64 is great, I never owned it but played it a lot. -Goldeneye was epic, I can remember playing multiplayer with giant head mode on. So much fun. -Stars Wars Podracer was pretty fun. -Pokemon Snap was awesome, played that a lot. -I really liked Perfect Dark, in fact I played the updated version out on the 360 it looked great. If you like Perfect Dark definitely check out the revamped version on 360. -I played Turok Rage Wars a lot, it was set up like a multiplayer game even on single player. Idk how many of you played it but I thought it was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobner has assumed control Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 I almost forgot about NFL Blitz 2001 and Conker's Bad Fur Day, both extremely fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Whompus Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I like how newer systems break after being used for 3 or so years, and N64's will last forever! Seriously have you ever heard of a broken N64? And when the cartridge didn't work, you would just blow in it. Problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, my PS2 still works as well as ever... but my N64 is thirteen years old this Christmas! (Er, twelve or thirteen.) My games, somehow, still work like a charm. It's absolutely incredible. And I'm sure the ones at the game store still work too. Yeah, they sell them. It's pretty hard to mess up a game cartridge unless it's like a GB game and the file gets permanently corrupted... not sure if that's happened with the large Nintendos.. but a disc can get scratched up so easily it's not even funny. Not sure how sensitive the new discs are either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are deteriorating with time (they're becoming limp with age). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Majora's Mask is the superior Zelda game, the best ever. Unless SS manages to overtake that position, and as of late, they've been getting more and more kiddish with that IP, So I doubt it.

You mean they've been simply making different takes on Ocarina. After playing the remake on 3DS I realized that Twilight Princess was Ocarina of time: Twilight Zone Edition. Skyward doesn't look much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 QUOTE (Dobner has assumed control @ Aug 27 2011, 03:59 PM) It's amazing how N64 games such as SSB still have the ability to keep you coming back. It's not amazing to me.....back then, the games were very well-written. As opposed to now, where the awesomeness is measured by the latest coolest graphics.
