/vr/ - Retro Games

If this game was on PlayStation, it would be considered a hidden gem, but since it's on N64 and it's not Mario or Zelda, it's ignored.

What are the most political N64 games?

How do I get good at this?
I'm bad at building up custom combos.

Well, it does have Paper Mario, Ogre Battle 64, Shiren 2, which are all celebrated games. But if you mean why does the N64 have so little of them, we've been through this before and the general consensus response was that N64 was expensive to develop for, and its main thing was 3D. RPGs during 5th gen still relied a lot on 2D graphics (or simple lowpoly 3D models on pre-rendered 2D backgrounds), and FMVs to carry the story.
The N64 had no problem doing 2D, but for most publishers, doing a 2D game on N64 was risky as 2D was kind of not very hot in the mid/late 90s, people wanted 3D, and that's what N64 was famous for; if you were to spend money on developing a N64 game, might as well be a 3D game. And also, no FMVs (well, some devs managed to fit some sort of digitalized videos on N64 carts, like Factor 5 on Resident Evil 2, but it was definitely not the norm and you couldn't fit as many FMVs as on CD of course).
So, for most companies, making RPGs was just much more feasible on CD-based systems, or handhelds like Game Boy.
Then you have weird games with RPG mechanics like Hybrid Heaven.
