/vr/ - Retro Games

>>2606058
Theres not a whole lot...

Gauntlet Legends if you actually have friends. N64 is the best version becasue you can bank items and choose when to use them.

Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is alright if you're into the series.

If you like Banjo Kazooie snorefest of a collectathon you can look at the other Rare games. Banjo Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, and Jet Force Gemini.

Golden Eye and Perfect Dark would be recommended, but I genuinely feel they're pretty fucking bad outside of nostalgia or playing with friends.

Mario Party is fun even if you're playing solo. The only good Mario Party games are on the N64.

Super Mario 64 is another of the "obvious" choices. Its solid, but its kind of dated.

Theres really not too many games worth mentioning honestly.

Diddy Kong Racing and Mario Kart 64 are decent.

Shadowgate 64 can be interesting if you're a fan of the original. Same with Castlevania 64.

Resident Evil 2 and Megaman Legends are also available on N64, but if you own a PS1 its usually better to play on that.

Bomberman 64 and Bomberman Hero are kind of interesting games but they really are a departure from the series.

Blast Corps is another pretty fun game.

Chameleon Twist 1 and 2 are alright, pretty simple and fun little platformers.

Theres more, but honestly, N64 kinda bites.

mischief makers

Mischeif Makers and Sin 7 Punishment are awesome, but you'll need an adapter to play Japanese games for S&P.

Jet Force Gemini is great and probably Rare's best game on the system (I'm not really a fan of their collectathons).

Mario 64 is amazing, probably the best Mario platformer to date.

The Zelda games are obviously incredible too, make sure you start with Ocarina.

Wave Race 64
Pilotwings 64
1080 Snowboarding
Snowboard Kids 1 & 2
Beetle Adventure Racing
Star Wars Rogue Squadron (although it's also on PC, original version is N64)
Doom 64
Hybrid Heaven
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Goemon's Great Adventure
Paper Mario
F-Zero X

Also as already mentioned, Mischief Makers is a must.
If you can import (and mod your N64 to play JP games) both Sin and Punishment and Bangai-O are great Treasure titles that can be played without knowledge of japanese.

Also if you like wrestling games, the games developed by AKI for the N64 are some of the best around.

N64 is the best.

>>2606058
The N64 had a very tiny library of games if you compare it to the PSONE or the SNES, but still a lot of those games were the best of that generation of consoles:
Super Mario 64
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Majora´s Mask (Expansion Pak)
F-Zero X
Star Fox 64
Paper Mario
Super Smash Bros
Conker Bad Fur day

Perfect Dark (Expansion Pak)
Crusin World
Crusin Exotica
Donkey Kong 64 (Expansion Pak)

Wait, console war shitposting is prohibited? Then why is there anti Sony thread up now?

If you smellelelelelelela... What the Rock is...cooking!

Seriously though this is such a fun game. Surprisingly in depth fighting (wrasslin') system. Pretty decent blocky graphics. A ton of match modes. Storylines for every weight class / gender. Replayability factor off the charts.

Just all around fun.

Ill admit, I'm a PSXfag to the core, and I'll happily shitpost nonsense about N64 games all day and all night, just to reap the benefits of a steady diet of Nintendrone tears and frustration. However, I did own an N64 back in the day, and I still emulate the games today. Its an honestly decent console.

But for fuck sakes, Mario 64 was shit back then and its fucking shit now. I mean, different strokes and all that shit, but god damn it people. If you're emulating and using a good controller, sure. Mario 64 can actually be made to be fun. But the addition of decent frame rate, lack of slowdown and SMOOTH controls can do that. But the original cart version is just awful. It has all this potential, sure, but it's just good gameplay shoved into a redundant game that makes you beat every level 8 fucking times to complete it, coupled with hardware that couldn't run the game all that great and the worst controller fucking ever.

How was that ever an enjoyable experience?
(what I find funny is that I admitting to being a consoletroll who posts nonsense to get a raise out of people, and nintendrones will STILL respond angrily to this post)

>>2606234
I hate the N64 and Nintendo fanboys and still think you're a retard who should go back to /v/.

>>2606156
The nWo/WCW games were better.

>>2606234
It's just PS, not PSX. Nice troll, by the way.

>>2606234
I always wondered what SM64 would have been like had they allowed players to get all the stars in one go. At any rate, you only needed to play each level 6 or so times, but that's neither here nor there.

>>2606234
Fellow Sony fan here, please fuck off back to >>>/v/ and stop embarrassing us.

>>2606251
I don't know how you can be a Sony fan. They don't make good games, they just made two consoles that were easy to develop for. They're a soulless tech giant, why are you a fan of that? Sega and Nintendo made great games AND home consoles, you can be a fan of them, you can be a fan of Midway or Konami or Namco, but how the fuck can you be a fan of Sony?

>>2606086
Not him, but I agree. The 2D Marios have aged fantastically, but SM64's controls don't hold up at all these days. I tried going back a couple years ago and find that game near unplayable now.

>>2606257
You know what, you're right, they are indeed a soulless tech giant, just like Sega, Nintendo, Microsoft and every other corporation, and to be a fan of any of them is to willingly let yourself be fucked in the ass and robbed. I guess that means I'm just a regular Playstation fan, mostly of the PS1, PS2 and PSP though.

>They don't make good games

Pic related says otherwise, even though the series has been dead for exactly one decade.

>2015
>Being a fan of Konami

You must really like your slot machines, huh.

>>2606271
This is just nonsense. You could control it then but not now? Have you developed some kind of brain disease?

Hey guys, sorry to interrupt your 5th gen shitposting, but I'll make some on-topic here and reccommend another N64 game that some people might have overlooked.

You like fighting games? You like wacky japanese games? You like fluid 2D sprite with good animations? then you must play Rakuga Kids, a good effort from Konami. Looks extremely "kiddy" at first, but then you realize it's very surreal, and actually not a bad fighting game at all.
Fans of Parappa should like this one's art direction, too.

You can't be fucking serious. Those are all mediocre as shit. I'm so sick of the nintendo fanboys on this board.

>>2606279
I don't play games made in 2015, kid, this is /vr/, Ape Escape is kiddy shit, and Nintendo and Sega aren't tech giants. Sony and Microdicks are, Brony makes CD players, DVD players and other shit, while Micropenis makes computer software.

>>2606271
>SM64's controls don't hold up at all these days
>these days
This is the part I never understand. Unless your copy of the game has been damage in some impossible way, the controls should be the exact same as the day they came out.

>>2606285

And you aren't sick of the other fanboys?
Fanboys are bad in general, not just the Nintendo ones. Just look at this thread, nothing but PS fanboys shitting it up.
Also, how come games like Sin and Punishment or F-Zero X are "mediocre as shit"? You didn't even play them.
Get laid and stop shitposting.

>>2606286
>Ape Escape is kiddy shit

Why do you hate fun so much?

>>2606289
>And you aren't sick of the other fanboys?
No, because the nintendo fanbase is the most vocal, obnoxious fanbase and trolls the most. The other fanbases haven't gotten on my nerves nearly as much.

Nintendo fanboys = Apple fanboys
Same shit, different tech genre

Wonder Project J2, Another N64 gem that sadly wasn't released outside of Japan, but luckily there's an english translation patch now.
A very unique kind of "raise your daughterfu simulator" with RPG elements and what not, Princess Makers fans will love this.
Last time I tried, emulation for this wasn't too good and I believe there's some glitches that render it unplayable at the end, but you should be good with an Everdrive and a patched ROM.

>>2606294
Segafags are worse, they're still butthurt over the PS2 "killing" the Dreamcast 15 years later.

Golden Eye

>>2606294

I dunno, from my own experience, Sony fanboys are the loudest, and usually the ones that shitpost the most. But I still hate any kind of fanboys, Sega and Nintendo ones too (especially when both Sega and Nintendo made great stuff back in /vr/ times, if you weren't a segatendo idort back then, you had a shit childhood)

>>2606294
>No, because the nintendo fanbase is the most vocal, obnoxious fanbase and trolls the most.

You're way too invested in this microcosmic corner of the internet where these types of things occur. You understand that 90% of the time these people are trolls themselves, right?

Incidentally you just proved the guy you're replying to correct in his shit eating cliche about you needing to get laid, which puts ME in a shitty position of having to side with him. You're really fucking clueless if you think among normal, game playing hobbyists that there's such a thing as "m-muh nintendum fanboiz" versus the rest. Fuck.

>>2606302

Get out, kiddo. I realise you're legally allowed to post here, but just go to /v/ or something.

>>2606308
Eat a dick you old fart

>>2606271
>SM64's controls don't hold up at all these days.

You are fucking hopeless. SM64 has some of the most free-form, responsive gameplay control of any 3D platformer conceived. It's superior and more liberal in execution and possibility of what you can do with it than any of the newer entries into 3D Mario's library.

>>2606308

Actually, after sending my post, I realized most people on /vr/ weren't even born them during the Genesis and SNES days...
It's evident that right now the majority of people here are 20-something guys who grew up with either PS1 and N64 (and that one weirdo who had a Saturn) and they dike it out every fucking day.

Well, anyway, I was also an idort during the 5th gen.
I enjoyed Saturn and N64 way more than the PlayStation.

>>2606302
>>2606304
Shut the fuck up, you retarded doubleposting nintendo fanshit. Go play the five games on the n64 that don't blow whale chunks.

>>2606316
>I enjoyed Saturn and N64 way more than the PlayStation.
You're just a hipster. Saturn had no support outside of Japan and the N64 had a small library full of trash.

>>2606317
kek... there were only 5 if that.

>>2606319
>>2606320

Dude, your shitposting is intense today. How about getting laid for once and stop being mad?

>>2606319
Nah, PS was really weak at the beginning, I started using it more around 99/2000, but then I also got a Dreamcast around that time. I enjoyed Metal Gear Solid and a few other games, but Saturn got dem good arcade ports, and N64 got all the 4 player MP games. Sorry.

>>2606320
Mario Kart
Golden Eye
Smash Bros.

What 2 am I missing

>>2606323

Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid... oh wait, those are the 2 games the PS got.

>buying consoles games when a PC version exists

>>2606321
>Nah, PS was really weak at the beginning
The Playstation was released in 1995 over here. You're seriously trying to imply the consoles with one of the best and most diverse library of games ever was shit all the way until 2000? Get the fuck out of here.

>>2606332
I wish the mods would have done more than just delete your first post ITT, you're a fucking retard.

>>2606324
Off the top of my head.
Silent Hill
Resident Evil 2
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Chrono Cross
Gran Turismo
Tekken 3
FF 7,8,9, Tactics
Twisted Metal series
Tomb Raider 2
MGS (as you mentioned)

There's a ton more...

>>2606339
>PS
>best and most diverse library

>>2606339

I got one in 1996. I had Tekken 2 and Ridge Racer Revolution.
Kind of irrelevant when I was already playing Daytona USA, Sega Rally and Virtua Fighter 2 on the Saturn.

Anyway, I'm not saying the PS had a bad library (although, my god, all that shovelware), I'm just saying I enjoyed the Saturn and N64 more back then. I started appreciating the PS1 catalogue more later.
In 1995, a lot of the PS catalogue were ports from strategy games from PC, that was weird.

Anyway, stop telling me to fuck off here and whatever, PS fanboy, I hate your kind.

>>2606332
You can accuse me of samefagging all you want but I just agree with the anon that thinks N64 had maybe 5 decent games.

>>2606341
>fighting games not on the Saturn or arcade
>sports games
>Final Fantasy
>cinematic experiences
Pretty thin fucking list there.

>>2606341

RE2 is not a PS exclusive, neither is Tony hawk, or Tomb Raider... what's left in that list are shitty 32-bit era JRPGs that were far worse than their predecessors.

You could have mentioned Suikoden II, one of the few actually good JRPGs on PS1.

>>2606348
>>2606350

It was off the top of my head. I could make the list go on and on if I thought about it.

>>2606352
Just don't fill it with shit, then.

>>2606345
>PS fanboy
So now I'm a playstation fanboy for calling you out on saying you enjoyed a console with nearly zero support in your own country and the worst console ever released by nintendo better than one of the most legitimately successful and diverse consoles of all time? Say whatever the fuck you want about sony, but the original playstation was a goldmine back in the late 90s. Not an opinion.

By the way, I'm a sega fanboy and love the sega saturn but am not delusional like you. Fuck yourself.

OP, you still here?

Sucks that sonyboys had to ruin the thread with their hateboner for Nintendo, but I hope the first posts in the thread helped you. I especially reinforce the reccomendations for games like Mischief Makers, F-Zero X, Sin and Punishment, Paper Mario, Ogre Battle 64, Wave Race, Goemon, etc.
Especially since most of those games (and well, most of N64 sans Mario 64 and OOT) have a lot of emulation issues, so it's always best to play them on the original hardware.

I hope you can enjoy the console man, if you can get other 3 friends to play multiplayer, also be sure to grab the Bomberman games.

>>2606357
PS was weak as fuck. It couldn't even do real 3D.

>>2606359
I like N64... for the 5 decent games it had.

>>2606312
Well to be fair, I didn't bother with the newer Marios and have never really been a fan of the series (or platformers) in general. To date 2 and 3 are the only ones I've actually bothered finishing. I was just chiming in with my opinion on the matter. But I do feel personally that the 2D ones hold up better control wise.

>>2606363

My gay stalker. I'm flattered.

Well this thread certainly turned out shit. Fuck this, I'm going to bed. Goodnight you faggots.

>>2606367

Well, that's an unpopular opinion.

Also, weird that nobody mentioned Harvest Moon 64.
I guess you guys are too busy thinking the N64 doesn't have any games, huh.

>>2606281
>>2606287
What I meant by that was that the controls didn't really bother me much when I played it soon after coming out, but when I tried it again a few years back I didn't like it at all. But also take this >>2606364 into account, which is that I never really liked the game in the first place.

You don't have to agree with me, just throwing my opinion on the pile.

>>2606368

be happy, that's the closest you will have to someone caring about you in your life.

>>2606375
I take it where I get it. Shrug.

>>2606357
>zero support in your own country

And how do you know where I'm from?
I'm from south america and my Saturn (as well as my PS1) were modchiped. I got a lot of japanese bootleg Saturn games back in the day, including a ton of fighting games and shmups, the only games I couldn't play were the ones that requires the extra RAM (later on, around 2005, I finally bought these and could enjoy more games).

I never said I don't like the PS, I just said, back in 1996/97, I enjoyed the N64 and Saturn a lot more than the PS. The PS was just "that one console I play anime shovelware on" for me... then MGS came out and I enjoyed it, but it really was never one of my favorite consoles, but I don't have a hateboner for it.
I just liked Saturn and N64 more, I'm not a hipster... just my own opinion, man.

>>2606372
>Well, that's an unpopular opinion.
No, it really isn't.

>>2606387

I think it is, I don't remember many people hating on the Ogre series, but whatever.

>>2606338
PS1 was the development platform for both of those games and the later PC ports are anything but superior, if you don't count modding for FF7 which just restores PS1's soundtrack and improves some models but that's literally it.

>>2606401
I had a friend who got FFVII for PC when it was released and had one of the highest end sound cards available at the time. I remember all the music sounding super weird on it.

I just don't understand console war fights. They were already silly back when the consoles were new, but here and now the very existence of the type of shitposting that's happened in this thread makes no sense to me.

Seld admittedly, I'm not a big fan of N64, but the few games I do enjoy on it are amongst my favourites, so of the ones listed already ITT, here's my humble opinion.
If you disagree, kindly tell me in which direction you'd like me to fuck, likely off, yeah?

Highly regarded, but I haven't played them, so you should give them a try and tell me what you think:
1080 Snowboarding
Excitebike 64
F-Zero X
Goemon: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Goemon's Great Adventure
Hybrid Heaven
Killer Instinct GOLD
Perfect Dark
Sin and Punishment
Snowboard Kids 1 & 2
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
Wonder Project J2

Highly regarded, but I've played and didn't like them, though you should try anyway because your tastes != my tastes and you might like them:
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Jet Force Gemini
Mischief Makers
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber
Paper Mario
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Zelda: Majora's Mask

Fun as fuck and love them in all their glory:
Blast Corps
Mario 64
Mario Kart 64
Pilotwings 64
Wave Race 64

Never played, but always wanted to:
Bomberman 64
Bomberman Hero

Really only fun in multiplayer with at least two other people:
Conker Bad Fur day
Gauntlet Legends
Golden Eye
Mario Party

Fun in both single and muliplayer but especially multiplayer:
Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Kart 64

Never played, but seems to have a poor reputation for some reason:
Donkey Kong 64

Fucking terribad unless you're into Pokeymanz and/or have a GB to connect to it:
Pokemon Stadium
Pokemon Stadium 2
Pokemon Snap

Why not play a different port? Are there any benefits to the N64 versions over others?:
Doom 64
Megaman 64 (MM Legends)
Resident Evil 2

>>2606409
>highest end sound cards available at the time

The game used sampled midi music but didn't provide the necessary instrument assets to back it up as the composer and audio tech guys intended. Also some other stuff I don't recall. Point is PS1 is an accurate representation of how the music was meant to be heard while the stock PC version is not.

>>2606443
Yeah, that's basically what I was trying to get at. I do remember that by using different sound libraries (or whatever, proper terms left my head years ago) we could get the midi to sound different and some of the tracks got close, but others like Cosmo Canyon and any that used the drums sounded very different.

>>2606435
You have to keep in mind that a lot of that which went on in this thread really has nothing to do with the actual consoles. /vr/ has at least one very try hard troll who spews the same stuff about kids here almost every day and in multiple topics. He's quite easy to spot and just fishing for attention, it's always best to just ignore him.

terrible b8

I think Mario Kart 64 was the greatest house party game of all time. Guys, grills, everyone played. Built in 4 controller ports on the N64 made it super social. I might be biased because of my age but I've never seen another game people enjoyed more when they were drunk and hanging out. With other games like Smash Bros. it was always a sausage fest of shit talking and the grills stayed away.

>>2606494
All in all it was a very social console. I'd rather play PSX by myself but I'd always want an N64 for social events. People forget that each console had it's good points. The N64 was the right tool to bring a house party together.

>>2606502
>PSX

>>2606504
o.O

>>2606504
This. Why do kids call it that? Why can't they say PS? PSX wasn't even released in the west.

>>2606504
>People in my area didn't call it a PSX therefore I'm going to act like a tool anytime someone else does.

>>2606512
I dunno. It's what I've always called it since the 90's. I could be retarded.

>>2606512
Several gaming magazines referred to it as that, in places where those gaming mags were popular it became one of the names people used for the system.

>>2606519
>>2606520

>taking a bait so big

he's being ironic.
the fact there was a limited edition of the PS2 called "PSX" released only in Japan in the early 00s is actually more obscure than the fact the PS was referred to as "PSX" by western journos.
"PS" is the correct and official way to abbreviate the first PlayStation, but nobody does, it's always either PS1, PSOne, PSO or PSX. All wrong.

>>2606494
Yeah, the multiplayer component in N64 games is almost a lost thing, I believe only the small Smash 64 community play smash multiplayer, and they're playing online.

>>2606542
Neat, I'm gonna have to check out Smash 64 online.

This thread makes me embarrassed to be on this board. I think we all need to put our preferences for things into perspective here.

Anyways OP, go buy Wayne Gretzky 3d hockey for $3 and play it drunk with your friends like its 1997. Isn't that what the n64 should be all about anyways?

>>2606582
It's just one autistic /v/ shitposter. Sadly, that seems to be all it takes to ruin a thread.

>>2606542
Whatever killed that social component in gaming? Was it online play? I mean sure it's social but it seems like there aren't games anymore that really feel like they fit in a party environment. I don't really know anyone with either wii that has 4 controllers and it doesn't draw a crowd like. My cousin turned 21 a few months back and no one was interested in his newer consoles at his party. I brought my Pi2 just for Mario Kart 64 with 4 wireless xbox360 controllers and everyone was down to play just like the old days. (before everyone gives me shit I have the original console as well.)
