/vr/ - Retro Games

everything first party
everything by rare
everything by konami
everything by treasure
everything by factor 5

now go do some googling

I have over 40 N64 game but I don't own a rumble pak, yet I've never felt like I've had less than a full experience because of that.

You DO need a memory card, however.

>go do some googling

You mean find the pages that list the same 25 games over and over in different orders

Super Mario 64
Ocarina of Time 64
Majora's Mask 64
Kirby 64
Smash bros 64
Banjo Kazooie/Tooie 64
Turok 1/2/3 64
Goldeneye/Perfect Dark 64
Doom 64
Star Wars Racer 64

Rumble Paks are for the birds.

>>2550987
This guy! This guy right here!

What are your guys goals? I would say mine is around 100 to 120 games.

Off the back of my head here are some recs:

>Kirby 64
>TLOZ: Ocarina of Time
>TLOZ: Majora's Mask
>Banjo Kazooie
>Banjo Tooie
>Harvest Moon 64
>Pokemon Stadium 2
>Star Fox 64
>Super Mario 64
>Bomberman 64
>Rayman 2
>Pokemon Snap

I've been playing N64 since it came out and I don't think I've ever used a rumble pack before.

>>2551015
>around 100 to 120 games.
Not trolling, there can't seriously be more than maybe 30 N64 games worth owning.

>>2551043
Then you never played Star Fox 64 right.

>>2551015
>>2551063
N64 is one of my favorite consoles ever and I don't think I could even name 100 games on it.

>>2551063

Multiplat games exist and I collect games that are not top knotch as long as they seem worth collecting.

I would say there are probably at least 35 B- to A+ n64 games

>>2550971
just get an everdrive, christ

for the most part, n64 was my first console. so i just started collecting games i played a lot as a kid. (minus Majora and Harvest Moon, which are a tad out of my price range right now) other than that, i just get games i think look cool, or just because n64 emulation is a shit. my plans now are to get an Everdrive for the rest of the library.

>>2550978
>everything by factor 5

Can we talk about the N64 more now

>>2551150
>or just because n64 emulation is a shit.

What's up with it?

>>2550971

I've owned an N64 since back in the days and to be honest the idea of collecting games for it makes me cringe. There are about 10 amazing must have, but the rest have aged horribly and it seems it's just not worth it. I wouldn't invest much in the system, it's not like the NES and SNES with an almost limitless catalogue of awesome games. Most of awkward for fugly.

Just by anything with Zelda, Mario, Pokemon or Star Fox in it. Maybe Golden eye or Perfect dark for the lolz.

I have all the Rare games for the system, I was a big fan at the time, now I think they are shit. Turok is just plain awful, Doom will always be a PC game to me.

The only games I actually still play on the thing is Zelda, Mario Kart and Mario 64.

>>2551946
>I was a big fan at the time, now I think they are shit
I bet you only ever liked them back then for the graphics anyway, you goddamn casual.

>>2551958

>Being called a casual on /vr/

Thanks, I guess that is a compliment.

Rare games on the N64 did age bad.

>>2551942
maybe i've just been out of the game for a bit for n64 emu, but its not near 90% accurate yet.
everdrive/ physical seems to be the best option for now

>>2551958
stop responding to this guy, he does this shit every single N64 related thread, it's bait.

>>2551972
lack of accuracy isn't really the problem, especially when you would need a rediculously over powered computer to run a N64 emulator that is even remotely near fully accurate. It's more that most of the games are broken messes and the N64 emulation community is more concerned with internal drama than actually fixings bugs.

>>2551978
ah, i see. that's unfortunate.

outside of what >>2550978 said
Lot of FPS
Some racing games
Konami soccer games
Aki wrestling games
And random obscure games (Sin and Punichment, Operation Winback, Buck Bumble, Star Soldier, Bangai-O, Evangelion)
There are very few shovelwares in this machine. It was basically the 3D Neo Geo before the Dreamcast was released so just check its list of games to see what interest you

>>2550985
>You mean find the pages that list the same 25 games over and over in different orders
What the fuck do you expect? The OP asked what the fucking essentials were. There's not going to be much debate. What is it with you retards?

>>2550985
>in different orders
As opposed to what? Are you actually so autistic that you think there's such a thing as an objective top games list for the n64? It's all going to come down to personal preference, retard.

>>2550971
Why don't you just fucking Google it, you stupid fucking retard? It's not like you even fucking bothered to say what kinds of games you like so what makes you think the answers in this thread will be different than any other top 100 list? It's not even like there are that many games for the N64 in the first fucking place.

>>2552215
I'm pretty sure his problem was that they were the same games... not the order....

>>2552223
jesus christ, fuck off

>>2551978

Maybe it's just me, but I find N64 emulation pretty fine.

>>2550971
>I always loved N64 more.

That's because you're a nostalgic asslick.

>>2552256
I don't like the N64 either but fuck off with this /v/ shit

>>2552273
Don't bother with autistic sonyggers

Everyone has forgotten this game.

>>2552315
it's one of the most over-rated games ever

>>2552329
>>>/v/eddit

>le N64 has no games meme

I still play Star Fox 64 nearly daily. Not kidding. I have a small crt beside my computer, with a n64 and only star fox, for the purpose of spending 5 minute windows of time beating levels between doing stuff. I've literally had this game on almost always for 10 years.

hijacking this thread to ask: do I give in and buy 3rd party n64 controllers? first party are just so flimsy. I feel like random 2015 repros can't be worse. I have at least 20 n64 controllers at this point and all of them have at least a few problems. they're as disposable as toilet paper.

>>2552995
N64 has games, but some are Jap only or really shitty.
Also, the system didn't really cater to RPG fans, but needless to say it's got it some very noteworthy titles that make the system worthwhile.
>>2552315
>>2552654
Just stop, the game got a remake and is getting released on Xbone.
>>2554083
buy one and see how far it gets you. If you like it, buy 3 more, if not, return it, sell it, burn it, whatever makes you happy.
Also, there are various online videos that can help you make your controllers slightly more usable.

As someone who isn't a fan of the N64, Wonder Project J2, Sin & Punishment and Paper Mario are fantastic.

>>2550983
Get a rumble pak.
They're totally worth the $10 you'll probably pay.

>>2555082
>but some are Jap only

that isn't really a problem for me, I love dem japanese N64 boxes more than NA/EU.

Trying to find a complete copy of Bangai-O right now.

>>2552995
I'm interested in playing Sin and Punishment. It never released in Burgerland on cartridge though, right? How much does one lose from the experience if one cannot understand Japanese?

>>2555559
If I remember correctly, most of the important menu options are self explanatory and are in English.
There's also English voice acting.

Ok
This is off the top of my head.
No googling, or even looking at -my- collection.

Here we go:
>Mario 64
>Pilotwings 64
>Ogre battle 64
>Banjo Kazooie
>Banjo Tooie
>Perfect Dark
>Goldeneye 64
>Bomberman 64
>Bomberman Hero
>Blast Corps
>Chameleon Twist
>Chameleon Twist 2
>Super Smash Bros
>Mario Party
>Mario Party 2
>Mario Party 3
>Castlevania 64
>Shadowgate 64
>Turok
>Star Wars Shadows of the Empire
>Ocarina of Time
>Majoras Mask
>Donkey Kong 64
>Jet force gemini
>Doom 64
>Pokemon Stadium
>Pokemon Stadium 2
>Pokemon Snap
>Starfox 64
>Gauntlet Legends

And I'm running out.

Half the games I fucking listed are not that good. Honestly, the rare games aren't even that fun, Banjo and DK64 are actually atrociously boring.

>>2555589
So, I'm losing nothing by just playing the original basically?

>>2555559
>>2555623

It was never released outside Japan physically, though there's the VC release on Wii. I'd still reccommend playing the original on N64 simply due to the controls.
As for the language, the game's voice acting is originally all in english (with japanese subtitles).
The only probelm you might come through is that the game's options are all in japanese, so if you can't read katakana you might have some trouble setting the difficulty on hard, but nothing you can't figure out by trial and error I guess. As for the game, it's a pure action game, perfectly playable for anyone, whether they know english or japanese.

>>2555623
Pretty much

Also, I was wrong about the menus, but the voice acting is in English so you're not missing the story.
If you want to cop an import of the game, beware that it can be stupid expensive since it's easy to play even without prior knowledge of Japanese.

>>2550971
Be sure to pick up Paper Mario. It's one of my all time favorites.
