Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

[Maijo]

Why is there so much hate for the N64? I can think of numerous, in the 30s, of great games that enjoyed thoroughly on that baby.

Why the hate?

Two words: Expensive Cartridges.

Since the Playstation was out with it's CD based software I guess consumers felt that Cartridges were obsolete?

Though, I loved the N64 as well, and it did have many great games.

Superman 64

You make a good point actually...

Re: Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

I can't think of 30 worthwhile games for it.

Re: Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

LET'S NAME THEM THEN

Blast Corps
Banjo Kazooie
Mario Kart
Super Mario 64
The Legend of Zelda OoT
The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask
Mario Party 2
Perfect Dark
James Bond: 007
Starfox 64
Paper Mario
Super Smash Brothers
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Harvest Moon 64
Conker's Bad Fur Day


...Well that's my list. In my opinion that's enough to make a console worth buying.

That's only 16.

Re: Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

Most the games for the N64 sucked, but the good games for it are probably my favorite games of all time.

Re: Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

I enjoyed many of N64's games. My friend owned one and we used to go to his house and play Goldeneye all night. A few years later, we migrated to Perfect Dark, Mario Tennis, and the Mario Party series.

We consider the N64 to be an awesome multiplayer console.

A shame we never saw any Metroid on it though. Would have been great.

Re: Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

Worms Armageddon

Best game EVA'! And then there was also Starcraft 64 which was cool if you like Starcraft and didn't have the CD.

Re: Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

You listed Smash Brothers twice Aznable.

And Mischief Makers... DEBATABLE!?!??! GET OUT! It was AWESOME.

Re: Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

Nightmare Creatures doesn't count, because it was multi-platform, as was Killer Instinct Gold (I think).

I never had a 64, so I haven't played most of those.

[BeeZee]

Re: Draygone Beckoned Topics About N64 By Maijo

Mischief Makers definitely counts.

Banjo-Tooie, too. I just bought this a few months ago, and it still holds up. I had a frigging blast playing it.

N64 doesn't have the huge variety of quality software that the PSOne had, and it definitely lacked in, say, the RPG department. As someone who only buys a few games per year anyway, that worked out fine for me. It had enough great games to make me very, very glad to have owned one.

Nightmare Creatures doesn't count, because it was multi-platform, as was Killer Instinct Gold (I think).

KI Gold IIRC, was only for the N64.

Pandable, I'm attracted to you now. That's EXACTLY the list I would've made for great N64 games. The N64 was the only system after the SNES that gave me almost a decade of fun.
