/vr/ - Retro Games

>>6738158
it isnt so bad there are a lot less games for it and basically no rpgs

>>6738158
>no games
Correct. You'll have a blast if you're into 3D platformers, racers and shooters, but there's not much more beyond that.
>Vaseline blur.
Irrelevant

>>6738158

Appreciate you trying to educate yourself, but still, I must politely give you this dictum:


ZOOMER BEGONE

>>6738158

they're based but i wouldn't buy one in current year unless you want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on games

>>6738158
Why ask the most biased anti N64 board on the planet? Most of the N64 neisayers never had one let alone played the games

The machine learning game recommender works quite well for discovering new n64 games if you run out:

>>6738273
>Every major system gets shit thrown at it here on daily basis yet N64 fans seems to be the only ones pissing their pants about it.
How do you call this phenomenon?

>>6738282
Nincels are still insecure about Nintendo losing their monopoly to Sony and N64 coming in third place in fifth gen.

>>6738297
>third place
>thinking Saturn beat the N64
Oh, the sheer delusion of Saturn shills...

>>6738158
If you had one growing up and rented games at least a couple of times a month you probably played everything good on it. There's not really much to the console and most of its good games have even been ported to things like the Wii/WiiU and other platforms. Usually if a game is on another console the N64 port is the worst one.

>>6738314
Personally I love Saturn vs N64

>>6738319
Same here, plus it's easy to make people upset when you criticize a nintendo thing and it's fun to tell people there really aren't any games on the n64.

>>6738314
It did, in Japan.

>>6738321
>it's fun to get along badly with others
I will never understand this mindset

>>6738327
Huh? It has nothing to do with others, just pointing out flaws in a disappointing console. If it upsets you it's a personal problem you need to figure out.

>>6738158
It's terrible. Looks like shit on your daddy's LCD unless you pay >$9000 for a fraMEMEister.

>>6738158
Its a system with great, classic games. Some of the best ever, especially for the time. But there is a small library of good games. 25 maybe worth playing. You’ve probably heard of all the big ones. Most exclusives worth playing are nintendo or rare.

>>6738331
>it's easy to make people upset by...
>it's fun to tell others...
This. Why not just enjoy games and make friends? That's more fun.

>>6738158
it's a weird case, while it IS the worst of its generation, its generation was so good that it absolutely annihilates most more succesful consoles of other generations
i'm personally a big fan of harvest moon and blast corps, but there's plenty more good titles if you dig a bit

Theres about 30 amazing to good games. Which is plenty to check out.

But compared to other systems it's pretty small.

>>6738354
Mundane facts shouldn't be grounda for butthurt.

>>6738165
>basically no rpgs
And that's a good thing.

>>6738280
This is pretty cool. Thanks anon

It's great if you like first party Nintendo games and Rareware at it's peak. Other than that, no, it's pretty meager and most of it's multiplats are better on other consoles.

>>6738381
>and Rareware at it's peak.
But Rare peaked on the Speccy, it was all downhill after.

>>6738384
I can't tell if Euro PC fanboys or Saturn fanboys are more pathetic.

>>6738386
Could be worse, could be a 16bitster or a nincel.

>>6738389
Both those are fans of something with good games. Anyone who pretends European PC games are good is just a blatant shitposter.

>>6738392
This is your brain on Jap programming, sad.

>>6738384
Nobody cares about your Zed EX Spectrum limey

>>6738392
>he thinks he can ever be correct when making sweeping generalisations
Sad.

>>6738397
As apposed to the power of European programming and game design.
>>6738405
Not a single European PC game is worth playing, fact.

6738412
Absolute brainlet

>>6738420
Said the tard who can't even reply properly.

Lmao what an absolute dumbshit

By the way, meme images arent evidence you sub human ape lmao

>>6738427
>noooooo stop posting proof of my childhood games being shitty (as if it was even necessary)
No

>>6738412
Nice cherrypicking fag, want me to pull up one of the many terrible games japs themselves made too?

>>6738432
Contra Force is still significantly more playable than any Euro PC game.

highly, dangerously based

They censoreed the strip club in Duke wtf

Don't get into it. I'm trying to collect for it and there's already enough competition.

>>6738218
>Not much beyond Platformers, Racers, shooters.

Not true, the problem with the N64 is that people don't tend to look beyond the well known franchises. There are a lot of original IPs that people tend to overlook.

it's still worth owning one if you like the few games it has, but those games are likely either Rare or 1st party stuff that has since been made redundant.
There are very few gems on the system, they exist but don't expect to be constantly surprised by it.
You buy an N64 knowing exactly the games you want to play on it.

>>6738158
Just emulate it bro

>>6738553
such as

>>6738767
Not that guy but the following come to mind:
>Blast Corps
>Vigilate 8
>Custom Robo
>Ogre Battle
All great, often overlooked games which are not platformers, racing or shooters.

>>6738802
>Vigilate 8
It's better on the PlayStation.
>Custom Robo
Didn't even have a release outside of gook land.
>Ogre Battle
It's cheaper to buy a PlayStation copy.

It's a good retro console if you're white.

>>6738807
> laughs microscopically

>>6738807
>sonygro thinks ob64 is on playstation

>>6738842
>paying more for a shitty remake of the PlayStation version so you can play a non-Mario game on the N64
Cope more, Nintoddler.

>>6738842
It's true, but instead ps1 got an actual fire emblem game. And several square tactics rpgs. Suikoden too. Vandal hearts, dragon valor, saiyuki, vanguard bandits and so many more.

Why Ogre Battle special? Because it's on the n64, not because it's good.

>>6738851
>implying I'm not actually a Sega fan, first and foremost
>implying I'm not also a Neo Geo fan before nintendo
>implying I'm a low IQ console warrior who refuses to play on nintendo systems because weird childhood traumas
>implying I didn't buy ob64 back in 2001 for $8 give or take
Cope forever, zoomer.

>>6738807
The question was about good overlooked N64 games which aren't race/platformer/shooter. I gave some games that come to mind, that people might want to try out.
Please don't make this another garbage PS1 vs N64 thread. Keep that shit to the containment. Just enjoy the N64 for the great games it has.

>>6738807
Ogre Battle 64 isn't on the playstation.

>>6738853
Thankfully the game is good.
If you look into the thread convo, Ogre Battle was mentioned when someone asked for N64 games that aren't very well known. It wasn't N64 vs PS1 until this retard jumped in: >>6738807

>>6738853
What's wrong with ogre battle 64? It's great fun.

>hurrdurr Ogre Battle 64 isn't on the PlayStation
>not realizing that adding "64" to the title doesn't make it a new, original game

>>6738876
Even if it was the same game, which it isn't, it'd still be better due to lack of loading times.

>>6738879
>it'd still be better due to lack of loading times.
No, this has nothing to do with good game design.

>>6738861
I saw a cry of Ogre Battle le being obscure and a hidden gemmie yet I've not seen a thread about any of the games in this: >>6738853 in a long time. People know Ogre Battle. They Know Sin & Punishment, they know Goemon and nobody really doesn't know the entirety of N64's worthwhile library. Less people know the SNES and NES library.

>>6738876
Trolling outside of /b/ is against the rules, anon.

>>6738883
If you want to talk about PS1 games then start a thread about it. Why shit up this one?

>>6738889
Nah, I want to talk about how everyone already knows Ogre Battle 64 with people that are trying to insist it's an obscure forgotten hidden gem lost to time.

>>6738158
No, those are "memes" created by zoomer tourists from /v/. The only good fifth generation console war threads are Bernieposts, and that’s only funny because of the Bernie Stolar character rather than Saturn actually being bad. The Sonynegro/Nincel shit is garbage.

Why do games on the N64 have no soul?

>>6738883
>Less people know the SNES and NES library.
This is true, but most people don't know about games like OB64 or Goemon, doesn't help they aren't cheap.
Even Mischief Makers isn't as well known as you think it is. It may seem to be mainstream on /vr/ since it gets mentioned frequently and there's even haters for it, calling it "overrated", but in normie world, it's an obscure game.
When console warriors here ironically post "The N64 only has Mario and Zelda", normies actually think like this, and they even think that's great!

>>6738896
They look like 2 complete different games. Both look soul-ish, but I have a hard time thinking first person shooters after Doom have any soul in them.

>>6738891
Ogre Battle 64 is a hidden gem. Lots of people haven't played it, and they should, because it's great fun.

>>6738902
It's Quake 2 on both consoles. The N64 just doesn't look good.
And that's not even mentioning the god awful N64 controller that makes playing first person shooters impossible.
Inb4 "muh goldeneye"

>>6738905
Calm down, little Sony fanboy.
Both games look kinda shitty. I bet the ps1 version is awful in motion, too.

>>6738908
Ps1 version looks great "in motion." Breathe george floyd, take it easy.

The blur isn't a problem if you play it on a CRT, and if you really hate it you can switch it off with a gameshark.

>>6738909
>Ps1 version looks great "in motion."
I bet it jiggles like jello.
Anyway, whatever. Console warriors get the rope for being poorfags.

>>6738896
>Quake on a console

>>6738913
>I bet it jiggles like jello.
It doesn't.
>>6738913
>Anyway, whatever. Console warriors get the rope for being poorfags.
Agreed, we need to stop n64fags from insisting ogre battle 64 is obscure.

Nothing is obscure if you've heard of it.

>>6738915
>Agreed, we need to stop n64fags from insisting ogre battle 64 is obscure.
Stop people from talking about a video game? Why?
Nobody here is saying to not play the RPGs on the Playstation.
I get you like Sony and swore loyalty to them, but bro, it's just a company. They don't know you.

>>6738905
The two 007 games, but also Perfect Dark, excellent on n64

>>6738923
>Stop people from talking about a video game? Why?
When did I say this? Just stop calling it obscure.

>>6738915
Why are you in here being a retard? I agree that PSX > N64, but I can enjoy the great games on both consoles. Doesn't need to be a competition. And if anything you're pushing N64 ahead, by making PS1 look like the retards' console by association with you.

>>6738925
You anti-N64 bunch are schizophrenic.
>N64 only has Mario and Zelda!
>N64 has Ogre Battle 64! It's not an obscure game everyone knows about it!
So which stance is it? N64 is only mario and zelda, or does in fact have more games?

>>6738925
What's the problem with us calling ob64 obscure? It is obscure.

>>6738932
It's not. Everyone knows it.

>>6738931
>anti-N64
I'm this but passively. The N64 just isn't interesting enough to "oppose."

Space Station Silicon Valley is a must-play hidden gem on n64

>>6738931
>N64 has Ogre Battle 64
Have you played Ogre Battle 64 and the PlayStation's version of Ogre Battle?
If you seriously think Ogre Battle 64 is some kind of hidden gem and unique experience that can only be found on the N64, you're just wrong.

>>6738937
also on ps1

>>6738935
>Everyone knows ogre battle 64
What a weird hill to die on. Such an obviously wrong claim.

>>6738939
The thread is about n64 though

>>6738925
Stop arguing over relative terms. Where I live Banjo Kazooie is an obscure game, because basically no one grew up with an N64. I've brought it up to multiple people I thought were in the know, only to receive blank looks. You're posting on a forum dedicated to retro games, where the N64 happens to have a sizable following, so just about everything on it will have been discussed at some length. I'm sure everyone here knows about Sweet Home and Gimmick. Are they not obscure games? Hard to argue that.

>>6738158
Actually it's really good. Nearly all antiN64 threads are from retards, some who just are and some who do so because they lived in Eurostan and only had money for one console, the Playstation, and thus ragepost (and cope) on here for attention.

>>6738937
Rocket: Robot on Wheels is another nice obscure platformer if you enjoyed SSSV

>>6738938
Why are you so obsessed with stopping people from playing a N64 game just because the PlayStation has another game in the series?
PS1 has a port of a SNES Ogre Battle entry, OB64 is an original entry exclusive to the N64.

>>6738956
The Chameleon Twist games don't get much attention. I'll refrain from calling them obscure, so the sperg doesn't bust a blood vessel, but they're worth checking out.

>>6738956
Does that have a boardwalk stage where you build a rollercoaster?

>>6738965
Yes.

>>6738959
People can play Ogre Battle 64 if they want.
I asked for examples of "original IPs that people tend to overlook" on the N64.
See: >>6738553
So far nobody has given me an example of these supposed "original IPs that people tend to overlook."
Ogre Battle isn't an overlooked original IP for the N64.

>>6738969
I rented that ~20 years ago, when you said "robot on wheels" something clicked.

>>6738972

>>6738956
>>6738963

>>6738972
I gave four great overlooked n64 games here:
>>6738802

>>6738972
I see, but to be honest ogre battle still isn't a super famous IP, it's not well known outside of people who already like strategy JRPGs.
Probably if we need to talk about games that ought to be original IP on N64, we can name Custom Robo, Hybrid Heaven, Sin and Punishment, Mischief Makers, Blast Corps.
But I don't see why we need to limit to the criteria of new IPs only, or IPs exclusive to N64 only. If a game is good, it's good. OB64 is part of the OB series, but it's exclusive.

>>6738982
doesn't everyone know these and also why the inferior ports?

Guys, please, stop liking the nintendo 64.

>>6738987
They're great, overlooked games on the n64

>>6738992
ok

>>6738992
This but: >>6732902
Only like the most overrated console of all time, the n64. nothing else is allowed except maybe the snes.

>>6739000
You mean the Super System?

>>6739003
no, the super control deck.

>>6739000
Frankly I'd be fine with /vr/ being only up to 4th gen. Sick of 5th gen consolewarring especially from sony guys.

>>6739006
No, I think everyone is annoying. Pinball only, final destination.

>>6739006
Imagine the assblast if they made ps1 not retro. Only 20th century consoles from manufacturers who were in the market 4th gen or prior. DC still allowed, no Sony shit. The shovelstation was a mistake.

>>6739034
The PS1 was excellent. Its games catalog was great. Its fans not so much.

>>6739038
Discussing PlayStation hasn’t always been a problem, I’ve only started seeing that smiling yellow thing from /v/ posted here relatively recently.

>>6738158
A couple of things real quick:

-Is there any other system you are thinking about getting? Even if vaguely, get that first.

-Do you sometimes get cramps or discomfort in your hands after playing a while? If yes, the N64 is not for you.

-Are you looking to discover and experience gems and cult classics? Don't get the N64, every game actually worth playing has been ported to other systems with better libraries and/or have better prequels/sequels on other systems.

-Does the prospect of spending time and money on sitting through the tedium and frustration of trying to have fun with games that where made in the absolute infancy of 3D console gaming where developers had no idea of what they where doing or how to elicit fun out of their product sound compelling to you? If somehow yes, skip the N64 either way and just emulate the system, games will look better and probably run better for the most part too.

-Do you deep down actually feel like you don't get or really like retro games but the N64 kinda appeals to you like the Duplo LEGO playsets you play with and feel it might be the suitably low level of entry for you into retro gaming? If yes, then retro gaming isn't for you. Go play Minecraft or games on your mobile, it will just work out for the best for all parts.

With these tings in mind, you'll hopefully arrive at the right decision, and if not the rest of us will be glad you'll spend your resources on the N64 while we spend ours on better systems and the great games for them with a little less competition driving up prices and hurting availability!

>>6738158
Its the ground zero for basically every modern Nintendo game, with a few exceptions.
Smash, paper mario, 3d marios formula, 3d zeldas formula, mario party.
The "no games" meme only works if its 1999 and you need a console to keep yourself busy with for years as a kid. As an adult the 'classics' on the system are more than enough to keep an adult with half a dozen other systems and a PC busy.

If you're really not sure just emulate it.

>>6738223
You don't need to be a zoomer to not know much about the N64. You could be a boomer that never got around to buying one.

Why does every single 5th gen thread on this board turn into a 100+ post shitflinging fest

>>6739179
/v/ zoomies that can't drop their typical funposting tendencies.

>>6739179
Part of it might be that the fifth generation discussion is now dominated by /v/ zoomers who grew up with that generation onward, rather than oldfags who moved onto it from earlier generations. Part of it might also be false-flagging from the "Doom isn’t retro" retards who want the fifth generation gone altogether. Regardless, I don’t remember it always being this bad, but I could be mistaken. Genesis v.s. SNES used to be worse a few years ago.

>>6739190
>Regardless, I don't remember it always being this bad
/vr/ has gone through some up an down patches over the years. /vr/ was only at its best literally a week into its first creation, and then it became what it still is now, a hotbed for /v/ trolls.

>>6738982
>>6738995
Those aren't original IPs.

>>6738327
>>6738354
4chan is a toxic place, and that' the fun. Wanna a circlejerk? Go to reddit and Twitter.

>>6739218
>4chan is a toxic place
The only thing that makes 4chan a "toxic" place is that there's no rails for threads. It is completely fine for anyone to come in and post random nonsense or even personally attack people. If you can learn to mentally block all that or grow a brain and just hide retarded replies you can end up sometimes having some really deep and meaningful conversations with anons. 4chan is just a mixed bag where anything can happen.
>reddit and twitter
Neither of these places promote real conversations. They only promote "smart" or entertaining hot takes for clout.

>>6738158
The first party lineup is top notch. This system had Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time released for it, for goodness sake. The third party library doesn't compare to PS1 though, but there are some classics like Resident Evil 2.

>>6738392
Based as fuck

>>6739218
>>6739240
4chan being "toxic" was never an inherent part of it imo, it's just that you don't need a filter. I've always seen this site as being more about honesty and fucking with people than toxicity for the sake of toxicity, but that's just me.
If anything, normalfag platforms are the real shitholes. Everyone there seems to be either constantly angry about something or massaging their ego by fishing for likes or retweets or upvotes or whatever. That shit is the real toxicity, not shitposting, trolling, or being honest about your opinions.

>>6738224
Most games worth having for the system are still cheaper then when they were new. And they are still a blast to play. Nintendo doesn’t really lose its value, and for good reason, if you can’t afford $40 for super Mario 64, then I got bad news for you, you are poor, and shouldn’t be playing video games in the first place, you should be hunting for a job.

>>6739279
>I've always seen this site as being more about honesty and fucking with people than toxicity for the sake of toxicity
It's easier to be honest here because we're anons, but the annoying shit that can happen in threads could be for any number of reasons. People with agendas, people addicted to funposting, people who are having a bad day and just want to blow off some steam. Like I said, this place is a mixed bag where anything can happen. But honestly, that's what makes this place so nice. We're not railroaded into a hugbox or just making replies for popularity's sake.

>>6739447
>Mario Golf
I remember renting this game as a kid because "haha mario is fun weeeee" but being bored out of my mind with it. Now as an old man, I find this game stupidly relaxing and nice.

>>6738158
It's emulated pretty well, even on a low level with all the vaso-vision + TV shaders. Try before you buy.

>>6738158
Just admit it. You just wanted to call it nogaems and blurry. You don't actually care.

Here's some obscure games that are both inexpensive and fun on N64:

World Driver Championship
Robotron 64
Hybrid Heaven
Fighter's Destiny
Flying Dragon

>>6739669
Hybrid Heaven is fucking weird. I had that game back in the day and I don't remember being able to make sense of anything. Its combat was kind of cool though.

>>6739669
World Driver Championship sucks. Cars all feel like they're slower than molasses. A poor man's Gran Autismo.

>>6739692
I disagree.

>>6738158
What's with all the N ShittyWhore shilling lately?

>>6739669
Robotron 64 is the kind of game you place once and only once. Anything more than $2 is being ripped off.

>>6739837
??? It's an arcade styled game and have picked it up and played it many times. Unless you think PS1/Saturn arcade style games are only worth "playing once and only once" I think you have a double standard

>>6739812
NOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T DISCUSS THE N64 AND SATURN PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE SHOVELSTATION INSTEAD

>>6739945
wtf is a shovelstation

>>6739986
These people — mostly zoomers — believe the PlayStation was full of "shovelware" titles and falsely believe there were no good games for the PlayStation and Super Mario 64 was the best game ever.

>>6740002
Despite only 8% of the N64 library being worth playing and the PS1 having thousands more games, estimates indicate the PS1 has at least 20% of its library worth playing. This makes the N64 the shovelware console of its time, unsurprising for something so popular in Amerikwa.

>>6740002
It was full of shovelware though. Tends to happen with popular consoles that are cheap to develop for.

>>6740029
What determines shovelware for you

>>6740036

>>6740043
You don't need to play those games you know

>>6740064
Never said I did. Popular consoles tend to have a lot of shovelware. That's kind of just a fact.

>>6740070
Yeah, usually you just focus on the games worth playing. A larger percentage of the N64 library is shovelware anyway.

>>6740074
I doubt that.

>>6740076
How many N64 games would you say are worth playing? I usually go with around 30-40, depending on if I really really wanna count 3 different mario party games. I think it's pretty good, about as many something like the gamecube.

>>6739669
>Hybrid Heaven
Everything about that game feels like a weird experiment. It was one of rather few N64 games with fully voice acted cutscenes. Its gameplay was a weird mix of third person shooter and 3D RPG battles. It had a high res mode that caused the game to render at like 10fps, and an optional letterboxed mode, which really only served to look "cinematic" since all it did was crop out the viewport of the top and bottom portion of the screen, yet it kept the health meter in a position where it went between the letterbox and actual game view. It's like Konami were just experimenting with the N64 with their Osaka division while using the PS1 for their real big boy titles like Metal Gear Solid, Symphony of the Night, and Silent Hill. The game does have some great atmospheric sci-fi music at least.

>>6740085
There's a distinction between something being worth playing in my opinion and being shovelware though. I don't like sports games, but a solidly made sports game isn't shovelware. Three Stooges on the Playstation is shovelware.

>>6740095
Is it shovelware when you blow fat loads into Um Jammer Lammy’s sneakers while she’s sleeping then she wakes up and puts them on without socks and it’s all squishy and weird haha?

>>6740107
no

Sonyggers don't belong on /vr/.

>>6740108
Okay haha thanks just wanted to be sure haha

>>6740095
Sure, I could see how someone would like NFL Blitz on either console, not really to my interests but I don't consider it shovel ware - I would consider it worth playing however because there's definitely a sizable audience that's interested in it.

Turok Rage Wars, which is an obviously low effort cash in with worse multiplayer than Turok 2 however is obvious shovelware. Rascal despite being a neat game is low quality but not shovelware, and not a game I'd recommend on the PS1.

Where's Animal Crossing?

I'm not saying there isn't shovelware on the N64, as there is on all consoles, but there was a lot of it on the playstation. I don't know how someone can deny that.

>>6740137
I just find it such a mundane point to make. Like why obsess over mary kate & ashley sweet 16 instead of talking about something cool like treasure of the deep, docchi mecha or Mass Destruction?

It just seems pathetic. "hah! Your console has so many games there are games nobody will play on it." Like OK? Does this invalidate Klonoa or something?

>>6740142
I was simply stating there was a lot of shovelware on the Playstation. That's the entirety of my point.

>>6740149
I think you should work on the point of saying it at all. Either develop it into actual criticism or drop it.

>>6740020
There's probably a core of around 100 n64 games which fans of the console always mention. There were less than 300 games released for it.
Clearly not a shovelware console.

>>6740119
On GameCube for the superior experience.

>>6740163
I think that's a real stretch. Really by 40 I start bumping into the universally regarded as shit japanese only pokemon stadium.

>>6740162
Why? It's a fact, and it bares saying.

>>6740074
>A larger percentage of the N64 library is shovelware anyway.
Even the most retarded sony fan can't seriously believe this?

>>6740173
What does it contribute to a discussion?

>>6740176
If the discussion is over whether the Playstation is a console with a lot of shovelware, it contributes a lot.

>>6740185
Seems like it doesn't say anything of value and is used as a means to stoke disinterest in great games by implying they don't exist.

>>6740169
This guide has 72 games and misses off several beloved titles. I don't think 100 is a stretch.
So about a third of the library is considered very good / essential. This isn't even close to true for the PS1

>>6740189
>Chameleon Twist 1 instead 2
I mean both are good, but Chameleon Twist 2 is way fucking better.

>>6740187
If people are going to claim the Playstation is flawless, on the basis that it has a large library, then it's probably worth establishing how many of those games are worth anything.

>>6740189
Half of those games are crap, hybrid heaven. Kek, what a shit game. I don't know how the fuck gex made it onto the list as it's missing so much that the psx version has. This list is full of cope.

>>6740189
This list is fine but
1: most games on this list with a PS1 release are as good or maybe a little worse than the PS1 release
2: it doesn't really matter what percentage of the library is good, you're not buying games sight unseen in Toys R Us anymore so it really only matters how many good games there are total. PS1 has more crap games but way more games in general as well.

Anyone who says N64 has no games is just having a giggle though

>>6740204
Seems like manipulation to highlight the bad games instead of the good. Like you're trying to both say "this is what they think counts" and "this is the kind of games you'll play." End result is the same, erases good games and stirs bad faith. Sounds petty.

If you really want to say the PS1 is flawed and the library sucks, list all the good games. If you find it troublesome to do so, you may have a bias or might find there's more good games than you're giving it credit for.

>>6740207
it doesnt matter whats listed because you'll say its bad anyway to talk up the PS1 as better

>>6740276
>seems like manipulation to highlight the bad games instead of the good
I'd say ignoring the bad games to pretend the PSX is a godly machine with hundreds of masterpieces to put down the N64 is far more manipulative.

>>6738158
You can buy it with the dozen or so first party games and call it a wrap like every other Ninty console after the 3rd gen.

>>6740403
How? You don't have to play the bad games. The N64 doesn't exactly have a ton to talk about, notice how every thread about it here is usually about the same 6 games? This is a very Nintendo biased board too, so it's very telling most people talk about the same handful.

It doesn't have much third party support, but at the same time, having mostly first party games is pretty good quality control.
It also has the greatest game on Earth.

how do i make project64 save my settings it just restarts its default or says no profile

>>6740562
Pretty sure you can export your profiles somehow. I don't really remember, I mainly use retroarch these days.

>>6740571
is retrotarch better than p64

Rareware, 3D Platformers, and First Party are all that's worth playing. Most of the library outside of that is junk or shovelware.

>>6740589
he's right you know

>>6740580
Yes, use Mupen64-Next (not the GLES3 version).

>>6740593
thanks mate

Doom on PlayStation is a bad version of Doom on pc.
Quake 2 on PlayStation is a bad version of Quake 2 on pc.

Doom 64 is completely original.
Quake 2 64 is completely original levels.

>>6740631
b-b-but blur! kiddy games!

>>6740631
Wait, Quake 2 on N64 is its own version? Fuck, need to play that sometime then.

>>6740616
i downloaded m64 next were's the application

>>6740652
im so fucking retarded never mind

>>6740652
If you downloaded the core, go to "Load Content" then look for your rom, select it, and choose the Mupen64-Next core when it asks which core to use. You should be good from there. If you want to make that go a little faster for the rest of your roms, go to the options section, look for "Directories," then look for "File Browser" and set it to the folder you normally have your roms. Have fun.

>>6740631
This is the most glass-half-full shit I've seen in a while LOL!

So the fact that the N64 was so shit it couldn't even run the "bad" ports of Doom/Quake 2 that the PS1 managed and they had to make completely new games, that completely missed the selling point of actually playing Doom and Quake 2 on console, to facilitate this failure is somehow putting the system in a favorable light?

The N64 must create severe brain damage, there can't be any doubt at this point.

>>6740678
They specifically asked to make Doom 64 original becusse it was already dated and had been ported to like 15 other systems. This makes sense.

They already ported Quake 1 to N64 which was just a straight port. Nothing new or unique. And they decided they wanted to do something different with 2 on 64. Which makes sense. So your argument they couldn't do a straight port is fake and gay cus they already did Quake 1.

>>6740589
Like most consoles? The majority of the PSX's library is shovelware, as having a colossal library would entail. Yet sonyggers delude themselves into thinking otherwise.

>>6740589
>>6740591
He's wrong, you know? Just off the top of my head here's 10 third party games on the N64 that are worth playing.


NBA Hang Time
ISS 98
Snowboard Kids
Shadowman
Beatle Adventure Racing
Rakuga Kids
Custom Robo
Goemon
Bangai-o
Extreme G
...and that's without mentioning obvious stuff like Doom 64, Quake 2, Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron, Pod Racer, Mickey's Speedway, RE2, all the AKI wrestling games, Sin & Punishment, ogre battle 64, Harvest Moon 64, Bomberman etc.

>>6739929
It fucking sucks

>>6738158
Are you seriously not old enough to remember playing an N64 when it came out?

>>6740189
Obscure games are also shovelware, so there goes half of this list, and your argument with it.

>>6740189

You can do us all a favor and go back there.

Ah yes, Castlevania for n64. Essential.

Nintendrones are hopeless

>>6741325
It's decent 3D action adventure game from 5th gen.
I dunno if "essential", probably that's subjective, but I don't see anything "hopeless" about listing it.
Fanboys are hopeless, though, Nintendo or otherwise. Anti-N64 guys especially are very particular.

>>6741325
Castlevania is an essential series, by mere virtue of having Castlevania in the name it is worth checking out
