You got a N64, Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, BK, and OoT all at once?? Idk if younger generations can appreciate what a colossal haul that would’ve been!! It’s so easy to take for granted now but before that generation, fully explorable 3D worlds had been literally the stuff of gamer dreams for decades. People who weren’t there can still appreciate those games, but they won’t know what it was like when that was the very cutting edge. Because they’re simple games in retrospect, but we filled in the gaps. As barren as we can now see they are we *lived* in those worlds.

Dude, you getting hyped on that Smash sequence gave me nostalgic vibes lol.

10. Quest 64 9. Glover 8. F-Zero 7. Body Harvest 6. Banjo kazooie 5. Banjo Tooie 4. Majoras mask 3. Mario kart 64 2. Blast Corps 1. Mischief Makers

My birthday in 2010. I got Mario galaxy 2 and my life would not be the same from that point forward. I played galaxy one many years later, but that was my first 3D platformer. Smash 64 at my cousins house was legendary, many sleepovers just bashing each other and screaming

Majoras mask is the younger brother, OoT was born first

One of my all-time favorite N64 moments is the Rainbow Road track in Mario Kart 64. First time I played it, my jaw dropped at that gorgeous music and the big faces of Mario characters all lit up in colorful neon lights against the sky. Obviously later games in the series are better (and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an absolute masterpiece), but I still go back to Mario Kart 64 from time to time and I still get wowed by that amazing Rainbow Road.

Hot take: I've tried again and again to get into the N64, I own a physical condole and some carts. I use an emulator to try games I don't own, and I still just cannot get into it as much as the NES, Genesis, or SNES. I love the Game Cube so much more than the N64, I just feel like the N64 is fueled by a lot of nostalgia for people who grew up in that era that I missed out on being an eighties kid. I guess this is just a confession, and nothing more. Thanks for listening. Haha

The N64 was the last (only?) console both my brothers and I played concurrently. Afterwards my older brother got too busy for video games and my younger brother gained new interests. Things were never the same.

WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy were the GOAT couch multiplayer games...too bad we never got the rumored WWF Backlash with its 6-man tag-team and Hell-in-the -Cell matches.

Never played Cruisn World on the N64, but Cruisn USA was one of 2 games we got with our console.

If there's any N64 shooter that still manages to stand, it'd be Perfect Dark. Bomberman 64 and Bomberman 64: The Second Attack proved Bomberman can work in the 3D adventure style (a shame that 3DS adventure game was cancelled). Bomberman Hero isn't as good, but it's still decent. I consider Doom 64 to be the best Doom out there. There's even an official remaster made years later. While Star Wars Episode 1: Racer began on arcades, it's the N64 version I loved playing. Ironically, podracing in the episode 1 movie is hated on by many. The other two Star Wars part of the exclusivity deal are the very well known Rogue Squadron and the more obscure Battle for Naboo. While Rogue Squadron 2 is basically the original but better and none of the three RS games ever had a fancy shield system unlike X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, they still managed to do a good job translating the Star Wars vehicles into early 3D. Besides; like RS2, the original has more good and interesting missions than actual duds. As for Battle for Naboo, it's obvious they were really limited with what vehicles they could add. The fact there's land based missions is a reminder of that not going well in Rogue Squadron 3. However, it's not quite as bad here. Besides, when you do get to fly around, it feels quite similar to Rogue Squadron. It has its own upgrade system for the vehicles. Also like Rogue Squadron, the Episode 1 music translated rather well onto the N64. Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA is a more realistic racer I quite like on the system. It's an improvement over San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing. While there's San Francisco Rush 2049; you can tell the developers had a rough time trying to make it work on the N64. You're better off with Dreamcast or Midway Arcade Treasures 3 on GCN for that one. Snowboard Kids 1 and 2 are unique styled racers that can be considered gems. A shame the series died with the really bad Snowboard Kids DS.

GoldenEye, Super Mario 64, and Donkey Kong 64 should've been on this list. And may your dad rest in peace, mate. :)

Great list, dude! I still have to pick up Majora's Mask, but I recently completed Ocarina Of Time for the first time just a couple of months ago. My brother and I originally got it on release from a Nintendo Power subscription bundle in 1998, but I never really got into it. My brother never beat it either, giving up at either Spirit Temple or Ganon's Tower, and abandoning the N64 for the Dreamcast and PS1. I played a file years later in like 2005-06, and got stuck in Jabu Jabu's Belly before quitting, then selling my N64 in 2009. I picked up a new one last year on eBay, and started a file on Ocarina Of Time last spring. File got erased when I went to complete it in the fall, so I started a new file in October, and beat it in December! Sorry to hear about your father's passing, too :( I lost my dad in 2016, and he was also the one who got me into video games as a kid. We'd borrow the NES from his work buddy, until we got one in 1989. We also rented one from the video store in 1987 with the original Legend Of Zelda, and I remember playing it on my great-grandparents' TV at their camp during Thanksgiving in 1987. Good times :D

Fortefyre, seeing that you've uploaded a new 10-Games vid is one of the best parts of my day. Thank you! Keep'em coming these are so great.

I always envy those who had parents into videogames, because mine aren't. Well, my mother was for a bit back then, she used my Gameboy to play Dr. Mario and sometimes Tetris, but that's it.

Huh. Super Mario 64 not being on the list was an total shock since it helped shape the system and was responsible of introducing into 3D gaming. Weird. I would've also mentioned Paper Mario 64 since it's the only turn based RPG on the system and it still holds up remarkably well. At least I agree on Majora's Mask & Mystical Ninja Goemon being on the list.

Star Wars Shadows of the Empire would be on my personal list. The fight with IG-88 was the very first time I remembered being completely scared while playing a video game. I’m pretty sure it was the first of dozens of SW games I’ve beaten since. I think all the SW N64 titles were fantastic.

For me one of the must play games on the N64 will always be Golden Eye, I know it's super popular and everyone has heard of it. But it really made me understand how great couch co-op and multiplayer death match could be.

I like Mario Party 2 and 3 much more (7 and DS are my favorites; though 6 is a big fan favorite). Mario Party 1 has those two strange mini-games that involve all the characters working together. Characters couldn't use items regularly like in the sequels. Also, it feels unusually punishing for this series. To be fair to Super Mario Kart, they had to start somewhere. Still, they made the right decision in the sequels to make the AI use the same items as the player, item boxes essentially now have unlimited uses, the retry system was given unlimited continues in MK64 and then ditched in other Mario Karts, reworked the drift system all the way up till Mario Kart 7 and 8, kart selection since Double Dash and customization since Mario Kart 7, and the special cup is available for 50cc since MK64. I like the game more than Super Circuit and especially Tour.

You got the speed you got the power just Cruise the world 🌍

Xmas '88, unwrapping that NES feels like it was last week. Besides SMB/Duckhunt, Rad Racer, Ice Hockey and RC Pro Am were opened by my brothers and I. Gaming didn't quite stick with them, but for me it's been a love affair ever since. Oh, and Blast Corps and the original Rainbow 6 on N64 are pretty awesome.

If you had extended this to 13 you could have listed every game worth playing on the system :D

Great list of games! Cruis’n World is great and you’ll love Blast on Switch because it brings the same feelings back as it did in the day. My only complaint is it has only local co-op!

is it me, or u growing a lot since u started on youtube! glad to see, ur content is really good!

Zelda Ocarina of Time,Super Mario 64,Star Fox 64,Super Smash Bros. and Castlevania 64(My guilty pleasure game,I admit I actually LIKED this game!!!)

Keep em coming bro, I like your vids. Your voice ISNT irritating and grating like a lot of em

Just found your channel- EASY subscribe. Fun content. The nostalgia hits hard!!

Isn’t ocarina of time the big brother of majoras? Majoras is just the angry little brother lol, but I find myself really relating to it

Mario kart with 3-4 friends oh man

I’m concerned that you only own 3 copies of this game 😂😂 I think I own 8 copies of this game across all the Nintendo systems 😂😂

The 64 would have been a billion times better if it had a CD. The cartridge format limited it. That's why Sony got all the AAA games.

You should try the rom hack of super mario 64 called Shotgun Mario 64.

How are you gonna bring up the topic of games RARE made for the N64 but not mention Conker's Bad Fur Day whatsoever?! ...BOOOO!!!👎🏼🤦🏼‍♀️

I really don't like Majora's Mask. Ogre Battle 64 is way better for me.

Ocarina of Time is the GOAT. Haters cope

Ocarina of Time was the game that killed Zelda for me. The 2 NES games and A Link to the Past were some of my favorite games ever, and until Ocarina, I'dve called it my favorite series. I was pumped for it. I read every article. I pre-ordered it at a local KayBee Toys. I wore the pre-order bonus T-shirt. I was as excited as I'd ever been for a game. I picked it up on launch day. I had a bunch of friends over. I was ready to go. I opened it up, put it in, and played for a little over an hour, and I wasn't having fun. I passed it to my brother to start a file, and he adored it. I kept trying to play it over the following weeks, and grew to hate it. They clearly became really enamored with creating a big open world, but it wasn't fun to explore. It wasn't dense with secrets everywhere like the first 3 games. I loathed just riding Epona from end to end of Hyrule Field. I was bored. I still try to go back to it every few years. I never sold it, and even grabbed a few of the later games in the series and remakes. I just don't like it. It's a boring game to le where fun and pacing were sacrificed at attempts at realism. Block pushing puzzles that once took less than 2 seconds now took minutes, not because they were a challenge, but because you had to play put every frame of animation. Now that I'm done crapping on a game eveyone loves, I think it's awesome that you keep ghost data from your dad. That's a nice reminder of him tied into your hobby!

I didn’t like majoras mask and I still don’t.

Oot is trash. I grew up with it and it's why I do not play aby Zelda games.
