/vr/ - Retro Games

I enjoyed this game when I played it for the first time on Project64 a few years ago.

I keep hearing the N64 is the 3D Platformer/Collectathon machine, but besides Mario and Banjo, what are other fine examples in the console?

Why do some people claim the N64 didn't have any games, or lacked third party support, when it had heaps of games that were usually far more innovative and technologically advanced than anything else on the market at the time of release?

I mean, it was a good thing that the N64 focused on genres like FPS and TPS and open world stuff, because JRPGs and Metroidvanias and 2D games in general needed to die out as soon as possible.

Also, Rayman 2 N64.

Fantastic, underrated physics-based platformer filled with TECHNOLOGY.

You can build rollercoasters. You can RIDE the rollercoasters.

Rec some hidden gems that you think people might've missed. Pic related is a Super Mario 64/Banjo-Kazooie-styled platformer that uses a very sophisticated(for it's time) physics engine to solve puzzles and get around, a blast to play.

I think the only sequel I would take a bullet for is Shenmue III, but I'd love to see a sequel to some random 3D platformers of the time like Rocket: Robot on Wheels or something. We don't get enough of that genre anymore.

Don't mind me. Just a fantastic 3rd party physics-based collectathon.

People who say the N64 had poor third party support are either blind or retarded.

>so does this console actually have anything for non-Nintendo fanboys other than Mischief Makers?
Yes. It has a long list of 3rd party titles.

Best N64 Third Party thread. (That means no Rareware.)

I don't know about underrated, but it's certainly a hidden gem.

how the fuck has this not been posted yet

this game is seriously a fucking hidden gem.
